Hi Tim, it seems that on a conceptual level I've misunderstood what HEAT is trying to do. I was under the impression that it was in response to frequent requests for a flavoured mixer - in which case a global approach would make sense. Your above statement seems to imply that it is emulating analogue tape, as even MIDI instruments that might not have been recorded to tape would have to be summed through a mixing desk - and in the process have it's particular sonic flavour imposed upon it. In which case you're sort of competing with you own Reel Tape suite plugins, but not addressing the flavoured mixer requests. Or it is emulating analogue summing in a mixing desk, and it's being implemented in a slightly odd way. I'm not knocking the product. The fact seems to be that the end result is very musically pleasing - so a job well done. I'm just trying to get a clear grasp of what Avid believe they are marketing. You could argue that a future update might divide the process in to three phases: 1. Mixer Input (to simulate the sonic character imposed upon signals that are being recorded through the mixer to tape). 2. Tape (to simulate tape characteristics - speed, bias , formulation options would be great). 3. Mixer Replay (to simulate the sonic character imposed upon signals that are being replayed off the tape, through the mixer). Each of the above phases should be bypass-able for maximum flexibility. Again, HEAT looks / sounds very appealing - so, congratulations! Perhaps you can clear up some of my confusion, and also throw some light as to why the controls are so minimal in as much as they seem to force you to choose between tape emulation in one direction, or mixer summing emulation in the opposite throw of the same control? Cheers! |
Re: HEAT (Harmonically enhanced Algorithm Technology)
Hey Carl,
As I do not serve as a marketing or sales role within Avid I should not attempt to riff on market intent. I can say that an overall usability and enginering goal of simplicity, (aka the "2-knob approach"), was there from the start and exists at the end of our effort. My response stems from my role as engineering, test, implementation and usability. I find it refreshing that we have a hybrid of use-intent. Mixer? Tape? From? To? Input? Summed? Indeed, the Pre/Post switch allows for the 2 drastically different points within a console. Using HEAT personally reminds me of my "old analog days" when I would rent a hi-end stereo tube compressor and bounce tape tracks through it to DAT (ack!) and back to tape. So it was a hybrid console/tape approach. In any regard, I hope you enjoy it! -tv |

Don't think it's released to iTunes yet - This is about it for Public / Online release (It's at Radio, but the Album doesn't drop to Stores and iTunes till Late Fall) TRY THIS LINK Sadly, there's a bit of Compression / Codec Artifact - Nevertheless, this is the tune / Session I was talking about earlier, all ITB (Minus the ADL Compressor) - w/ h.e.a.t |

Ah I see:

The Dave Hill DSP code is treated as holy writ for whatever reason: no RTAS for Pheonix, no plugin for HEDD, and now HEAT is TDM-only and snuck into the UI and signal path via software foo. Remember the wisdom of Bill Atkinson: "Too much magic causes software rot." |
Re: HEAT (Harmonically enhanced Algorithm Technology)
Question: what are the Delay Compensation implications of using the suggested bus-to-audio-track-in-input-monitoring workaround to have HEAT on a VI track?
VIs are the things you'd most want some THD on as they are virgin digital. And timing of grooves is important to some. |

Re: HEAT (Harmonically enhanced Algorithm Technology)
Hey guys
I would love someone to be able to compare HEAT with the McDSP Analog Channel... Anyone got both? Thanks, Angus |

LOL:D The hit record engineers (for what that's worth) I've spoken so far to say HEAT is not all that. the comment was "ehhh" Not a big deal. The crane song versions set the bar and this HEAT thing comes close to cloning what we've had available for some time already. An engineer worth his salt will get the sound reasonablly close during the recording process to not have to resort to "make me sound like i know what i'm doing plugs" |
