Transformer saturation

Things might sound a lot more "ballsy" if you drop your levels and simplify your signal path. Low frequency transformer saturation is about the only thing you could be adding while the sound of tiny power supplies running out of steam might well be the very thing you didn't like that led you to this approach. If you can arrange your gain structure to saturate the Neve transformer but not be pushing anything else hard, especially the a to d converter, you can get the best of both worlds.

One thing to understand is where mixing ends and mastering begins. Mixing is about the presentation of the recording and the music. Mastering is about the presentation of the MIX.
