For Osaka 2.5 Mix EQ we created a special parameter called DRIFT+. “Analog Drift” is in regard to the effect of the component’s temperature altering its sonic character, over time. DRIFT+ lets you control this effect, allowing subtle variations to each mix. All of these subtle variations are usually due to naturally occurring reactions in circuitry that have not been compensated for in the design. This phenomenon is also known as the (with a slightly less glamorous name) “Flaw/Feature effect”.
In the physical hardware domain, the DRIFT+ effect could be said to give the impression of more air, openness and subtle enhancement of dynamics, to make your recording sound more “alive”. The DRIFT+ feature is an integral part of that sonic character that gives vintage signal processors that analog sound.
With DRIFT+, we have harnessed this effect and brought it in line with current audio standards: recreating this effect in an amplified way, improving the fidelity, widening the frequency spectrum, and response. The DRIFT+ option is well suited to nearly every kind of track, mixing group, and sometimes even worth try on the master bus
