a must have
PSP's vintage warmer has been around a long time and is one of the first analog saturation plugins I can think of... it still holds up. Adds generic saturation and tone shaping. You don' need to understand what all the knobs do, generally a little fiddling will produce what you need. Excellent for gluing busses without a compressor but the compressor is really nice and pretty unique sounding whether you're just tickling or slamming.

I have only recently discovered Vintagewarmer, and my understanding is that it is a bit overused, but that's obviously for a reason, because it sounds amazing! A very unique compressor/saturation tool which seems quite versatile and useful for both production or mastering. I also really appreciate that it comes with Microwarmer to eat less CPU when deployed on individual tracks. Also managed to get this bundled with a free PSP E27 EQ! =)

everyone was blown way by vintage warmer when it came out or when they first tried it... don't worry, it'll get less and less appealing, especially as a master bus effect. If you're mix is really kickin' already, particularly bass and drums, then the vintage warmer isn't going to make it sound better, just different.

I mainly intend to use this for production/mangling audio. I have Ozone 8 Advanced for mastering and don't expect to be using a lot of Vintagewarmer for that purpose, but we'll see.

After being asked: "Is all of your processing/production work done inside Ableton Live?", he answered "There are a few third-party gizmos that I couldn't live without. The PSP Vintage Warmer is on everything; the SoundToys stuff goes well beyond anything you'd expect from a delay unit - it almost has a voice of its own; and CamelPhat is a versatile combined filter and overdrive - a very creative tool."
