Re: To HEAT or not to HEAT?
Yes - is louder but also different - I asked my wife to listen without explaining what it was (HEAT, tube / tape saturation) and she preferred the same tracks with HEAT - I asked her "is it because is louder?" and she said "no, it simply sounds better" (she would not like the price $$ but that's for another day)

If you're using the "tone" knob then that will obviously make the mix slightly brighter or darker, and again, most people will say they prefer a slightly brighter signal...unless it's so bright it's starting to take your scalp off. |

Re: To HEAT or not to HEAT?
Ah - I actually did measure with Audio Suite > Other > Pro Limiter Loudness Analyzer and the HEAT mix got to 14 LUFS while the non-HEAT was originally 16 LUFS
Then I re-worked the HEAT mix to match the original mix at 16 LUFS (just tweaking "Pro Limiter" at the end of master bus). Then I listened to both mixes and they sounds very similar, except the HEAT mix has a little something else that is pleasant In the end I'm just testing it before I make a decision to upgrade my vanilla Pro Tools (permanent license) to Pro Tools Ultimate + HEAT. I know there are plugins that do something similar (tube / tape saturation) but none is integrated in the mixer like HEAT (which i think is elegant). Besides the sound, I also I like the blinking yellow lights in the mixer tracks when HEAT is working, reminds me of vintage tube amps |

Re: To HEAT or not to HEAT?
I was wondering what settings everyone uses?
My mix template is set to: Audio Tracks: PRE Drive: 1 O'clock Tone: 11 O'clock (sometimes 2 O'clock) |

Re: To HEAT or not to HEAT?
I bet most would've been happier with HEAT in PT vanilla than the dozen random extras they threw in over the last few years.

Re: To HEAT or not to HEAT?
All of us would be happiest once PT goes full circle and returns to one unified (1st excluded) software. I'm not holding my breath though...

Re: To HEAT or not to HEAT?
When I use HEAT, I often use that same setting.

Re: To HEAT or not to HEAT?
Downunder we have DeepHEAT doesn’t do much for PT but great for muscle pain
I would happily give back all the free stuff.... which I don’t really use to have HEAT in PT vanilla
