    so just to clarify. do i still keep the compressor in my main vocals and then add the two (one light compressed and one hard compressed) after ? or are you saying do the main vocals lightly compressed and then just create one send for the hard compressed vocals. if this question makes sense.

      I will admit the stock chain is slightly louder so that is an important consideration - alongside the fact that I did this more recently than the OG mix with those premium plugins 👀 but everyone has their taste/preference at the end of the day!

  • @discrettunes1045

    3rd party plug ins sounds warmer and sounds analog, while stock plugins sounds good too but it sounds more digital. 3rd party or stock plugins can produce a great music.

    @calvinrobersonjr5581 12 днів тому

    That's an interesting comparison. I find your master to have a very prominent stereo field and bigger low end, while izotope sounds more centered and controlled. To your point, preference definitely plays a major role here, and the end result is solely predicated on the musicians idea of what they're looking for in the end. Good video. 👍🏾

    I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Recording Arts from Full Sail. They taught me to use the Channel Strip from Avid’s Pro Tools plug-in selection. I’ve always used it but never was completely happy with how it works. I would always go for 65hz to duck the bass in order to enhance the kick. With this video I have relearned everything from side chain compression when it comes to that application. I’m using Pro-Q 3 now forever.

    If I use drums via MIDI, I assure myself that, everything is balanced in dynamics, by using this simple method: the higher an instrument is inside the frequency spectrum, the lower the velocity should be. This also applies for piano pieces. So you're already able to safe tons of headroom before even start mixing

    • @5piece
      @5piece 13 днів тому

      Makes sense! Definitely applies to the first level of gain staging, simply managing the dynamics of a performance. Taking it up a notch and handling levels, and doing advanced stuff like what I discussed in this video can help take it over the top! 🚀
