Join Groove3 instructor and production guru Alberto Rizzo Schettino for a detailed look at the Diamond series of plug-ins from Acustica Audio, including Diamond Color EQ, Diamond Lift, Diamond Transient, and Diamond Dynamic Saturator. In this Acustica Audio video course, you’ll learn everything you need to know about using these tools, starting with your very next production. Whether you need to increase the punch of your snare with Transient, smooth out some harshness in your guitars with Color EQ, or add some glue to your two-buss with Lift, it’s all here! These Acustica videos are designed for new users of Acustica Audio Diamond plug-ins.
Alberto begins with an overview of the course, familiarizing you with the Diamond series (created in collaboration with Grammy-nominated engineer Luca Pretolesi) and the specific plug-ins featured in this course. It’s on to Diamond Color EQ, where you’ll first learn about the interface, followed by a technical visualization of the frequency curves. Alberto then demonstrates the plug in action so you can hear its open high end and solid lows in real-world scenarios.
Next, explore Diamond Lift, a production suite containing a saturator, EQ, compressor, and clipper. Alberto shows you how each component works, along with a few tricks for mid-side processing in the style of Luca Pretolesi. From adding edge and attitude with the clipper to increasing power in the lows and highs, you’ll see exactly how and why this plug-in is likely to become one of your go-to favorites.
For the rest of the course, you’ll learn all about the remaining two plug-ins: Diamond Transisent and Diamond Dynamic Saturator. Transient is based on several famous processors from dbx (3bx, 165, and 266) and CLM (Dynamics DB500S Expounder) and is an incredibly flexible tool that goes far beyond simple transient design. Dynamic Saturator allows for complex signal flows, enabling different saturation colors, mid-side processing, low/high crossovers, and much more.
