    yes, just try any of these Neve 1073 or Helios type69:

    do the following: simpy crank up by +10db the pre amp knob on either of the two, (also low down the level fader by -10db to suppress the level differential) then experiment with bypass on/off. the coloration specific to the emulated preamp is there and its really great.

    this works just on anything, but imho this works the best on mic'ed acoustic (well sampled) instruments such as drums and vocals of course (except if a shitty mic was used), also works great on DI bass etc personally, i use the 1073 on almost anything and the helios69 mostly on electric guitars & bass.

    there is that "simplified" version of the 1073 by uad2 which just does the pre amp level emulation its cheaper than the full 1073 consolestrip version.

    i own both plugs, not regretting a single dime i have spent on them.

    My favourite "cheat-code" plugins are LoudMax and Klanghelm IVGI 2, or 1. Latter gives great VU metering for gain staging, trim/gain, and great instant vibe [saturation/harmonics] when mixing ITB, and LoudMax can be used as a lite compressor on tracks that need a bit of transparent limiting. Both are also free.

    Airwindows has piles of great and very usable, quality cheat-code plugins that give you instant gratification. :wink:

    Cheers!

    Variety of Sound Thrillseeker XTC. I find it does a great job to liven up things which sound a bit dull.
