Eventide H910 Harmonizer UAD Plugin

I don't know that 'lonely' is required, but you got the other ones dead on. Lets face it, even non-Caucasian Recording Engineers are pale by the standards of their ethnicity... if you get out in the sun enugh to look remotely healthy then you are not making many records.

oh, best application for one of these? hmmm, well, one can enver go wrong putting it ahead of a reverb on an effects send.... actually creating a weird, ghostly harmony that's not 100%in tune with every harmony played by the isntruments can work wonders and there's always the U2 shimmer verb, riding the fader as needed to add ethereal bazinga in some songs... and of course the harmonized drums send is fun too... a little expansion first, then the eventide set to taste, maybe a lexicon reverb with a fast decay set 50/50, tempo sync a delay to an 8th or 16th note (give or take) and kill the dry signal and then gate hard! Pulsing harmonic 'after drums' -- or ditch the reverb and try it with room mics on a kit recorded in a big room. Not appropriate for every type of music, but a fun application of any harmonizer really, but the buggy nature of the original 910 and the old AMS units (which I like a lot too, what a weird sound to that pitch shifting) really do the business in this application. I wish I had bought an old AMS when they were uncool.... the Yamaha SPX90 can do a close approximation, but its not quite as musical in its bitty-gritty pitch shifting.

The AMS! God I loved that thing when I had access to the hardware & it was the 1st plug in I got from Universal Audio soon as I got their hardware. Think this was maybe 3rd...for that matter the Lexicon was definitely top/first 5 (got a bundle during their Holiday Sale).

"Lonely" is in there because my girlfriend & now Wife refers to those years as the "I didn't get laid enough years". As in, "don't ever do that to me again you bastard". I caught me a good one.

when I was still married I kept my musical endeavors to a minimum to avoid wife snark about that issue (as well as financial issues... for some reason she thought an extra dresser we couldn't fit in our house was a better way to spend a grand than on a moog... as if she never frivolously dropped a grand on her own bad habits, none of which had resale value in a pinch)

Dunno how I got so lucky but on the big buys-those also tend to be the ones to hold their value or go up- I,ve been the one hesitant & my wife will 9 times outta 10- say "you've been looking for _________ for ages, just get it you idiot!". Some of my best purchases have come about just like that.
