It is generally recommended to keep input levels around -18dBFS to -12dBFS to avoid digital clipping and ensure the saturation behaves like its hardware counterpart.
Because Nebula is CPU-intensive, many users prefer to render or freeze tracks after applying FTS PRO to maintain session stability.
To get the best results from the AlexB FTS PRO, proper gain staging is essential.
The FTS PRO is modeled after a modern, digitally controlled analog device. Unlike standard algorithmic plugins, it leverages within the Nebula engine to capture the authentic behavior of analog circuitry.
When used on a mix bus, it can provide the "rounding" effect typically associated with magnetic tape or high-end tube mastering compressors.
It adds subtle harmonic richness that helps individual tracks sit better in a mix without traditional EQ-ing.
The FTS PRO is known for its versatility across different stages of production:
Includes "Saturation" and "Warmth" controls that respond dynamically to the input signal.
Offers several compressor modes with fixed attack and release times specifically tuned for musicality.
