1. Manley Tube Preamp
Start by inserting the Manley Tube Preamp to add very light drive and harmonic density at the source.
2. Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor

3. Ampex ATR-102
Finish with tape for your final polish. Add width, low‑end focus, and introduce top‑end sheen to help the mix feel complete.
