presets for TDR Nova GE

Below you’ll find two general purpose presets for the excellent TDR Nova GE PlugIn. If you did not tried it yet, check out the free “standard edition” over there at TDR. It’s based on Vlad’s Nova 67P freeware and Vlad and Fabien really did some magic with the Nova – a sort of Nova 67P reloaded.

TL;DR: The “insane” mode is just that – insane!

Though, difficult to handle and so here are two carefully crafted presets by Bootsy himself merely as a starting point. Also some links to further presets.

The first one is a general purpose preset for mastering duties. It tames some overshots and balances the frequency spectrum slightly to give a more pleasant alternative to those usual multiband brickwall limiters.

The second gives an idea about dynamic equalizing for sweetening tracks. Like famous pre-amp/EQ combos did in the past and still today.
