The Preset Manager allows you to select, store, modify, add, and erase presents. Luckily, there are some built-in tools to help you navigate the Pusher’s many parameters. Make no mistake, the Pusher has a lot of controls on its stylish interface. By employing the diode limiter, your sound will move, pump, and breathe in a radical fashion.Ĭheat Mode and Preset Manager for simplified operation The Pusher’s limiter utilizes three attack times – fast, medium, and slow, as well as a fully variable release. Diode limiters, such as the Neve 2254 and the EMI TG12413, are known for their tough, heavy character. A Bias control can then be used to put stress on the cores in order to further shape your sound, which can be blended with the dry signal by means of a Blend control.Īfter your signal has been mangled by the Pusher’s magnetic cores, it’s slammed into a virtual diode limiter.
When a signal passes from the variable Flux Drive through the cores, the cores essentially act as an EQ, each imparting their own distinctive harmonic fingerprint on your sound. These virtual cores are charged by what Kush Audio is referring to as a “Flux Drive,” which (in geek speak) is likely a reference to the scientific measurement of a quantity of magnetism as it passes through a surface. The Pusher features four analog-modeled metal cores – nickel, iron, cobalt, and steel. Interactive magnetic cores shape your tone Cheat Mode and Preset Manager for simplified operation.Interactive magnetic cores shape your tone.Utilizing analog models of four magnetized metal cores in concert with a plethora of innovative controls, you’ll mutate sound into colorations ranging from subtly sweet to freakishly alien! At Sweetwater, we’re all engineers at heart, and we love how the Kush Audio Pusher plug-in transforms an otherwise uninspired track into a harmonically rich masterpiece. With the Pusher, you’ll be able to take ordinary sounds and inject them with a unique, saturated character that ridicules the natural laws of physics. If you struggle with the inherent sterility of recording and mixing in the digital domain, or if you happen to be heavily into vintage tones, it's hard to think of a reason why you wouldn't snap both of these up as soon as possible.Get ready to get excited – the Pusher plug-in from Kush Audio is about to bestow upon you an unprecedented palette of complex transient and harmonic textures. We often got good results combining both plugins, using Model N to smooth and clean up an instrument, followed by Model A to add life and energy. On non-percussion instruments, both models have their own unique qualities. The plugins are supposed to be gain compensated, but the compensation isn't perfect, which is understandable, since they affect dynamics and apply multiple stages of processing behind their deceptively simple GUIs.Ĭurrently, the automatic gain compensation is enough to prevent the Intensity knob from wildly throwing off your balance, but using your DAW's bypass might not make for a fair A/B comparison, as both models tend to add to, rather than subtract from, the RMS (average) level.
On the negative side, pushing either plugin too hard can result in mushiness that ruins the otherwise dazzling illusion of analogue behaviour. Both tighten up dynamic range the harder you drive them. Side by side, Model N seems better at controlling overly harsh elements in the mix, while the Model A excites whatever's already there. Model A is a different beast entirely, opening up the midrange slightly and adding sweet air as it drives. The N model gently squashes fast spikes and wipes away hard edges - if your hats and cymbals suffer from an overly crisp or clinical sound, even fairly gentle use of Omega N will give them a softer but still focused tone. We tried each one on a variety of individual drum sounds and were quite pleasantly surprised at how they were 'transformed'.
