I wasn’t so familiar with the mastering rooms’ workflow, but from spending time with the engineers it was important to learn that the TG modules are used on almost every project the only exception being the compressor, which can be a little too harsh for some stereo masters. Mirek StiIes, Abbey Road Studio’s Head of Audio Products, notes, “I remember seeing the various TG Mastering modules used frequently in the studios and they still are to this day, most recently for mixing Brockhampton’s Iridescence album which debuted at #1 on the Billboard top 200.
Just like the original console, the TG Mastering Chain plugin is made out of modules (or cassettes): Thanks to this Waves/Abbey Road collaboration, the TG12410 is now available outside of Abbey Road Studios, allowing you to bring the very same magic to your own productions. Whether it is used for mastering as a complete console, or for mixing with only select modules, the TG brings nothing less than magic - the same magic heard on albums like Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon, Nirvana’s In Utero, Radiohead’s OK Computer and Ed Sheeran’s+ (“plus”). The distinct solid-state transistor-based sound of the TG12410 has proven itself time and again over many decades.
