Where do you start? Well, first, remember that you don’t have to fill your rack right away. And taking modularity in the opposite direction, DIYRE’s Colour format comprises a range of miniature modules which sit in a host that is itself a 500‑series module. Bereich03 Audio even make a full mastering console, with everything including meters, faders and monitor controllers delivered as 500‑series modules. There are Mid‑Sides encoder/decoders, parallel processing mixers and distribution amps, and more besides. You’ll find handy utility devices such as reamp ‘boxes’, reverb‑tank drivers, headphone amps, Bluetooth receivers and audio interfaces. You’ll find miniature versions of studio stalwarts and out‑of‑production classics, as well as new designs that aren’t available in other formats.īut there are plenty of other modules, including other dynamics processors and some seriously high‑quality effects. The format is best known for its preamps, EQs and compressors, and there’s a huge number of them, ranging from the clinical to the characterful, the simple to the feature‑laden. There are, fittingly, more than five hundred 500‑series modules to choose from. With so many modules on the market, how do you make the right choices?
