Soothe, saturn, and gem dopamine are the best plugins. Saturn u can torrent easily, its good for saturation

FabFilter plugins are so overrated and overpriced in my opinion. An EQ for $190? I'll pass.

Klanghlem SDRR for saturation >>>

Its like $28 dollars after tax

Really been thinkin bout starting to send out my tracks to get mastered instead of doing it myself.

After mixing and producing I feel like I have tunnel vision and sometimes it’s challenging to gauge what to do next.

Overpriced maybe but they are worth the hype

Need soothe bad

Expensive but so worth it

hey yall i just put this out, written mixed and mastered just by me. give it a listen and let me know if i made the low end too wide

yeah soothe is a vibe forsure

Very transparent sound, easy and beautiful interface, great dynamic EQ that can take a s***load of work in one instance

As an engineer speed is #1. Pro Q is efficient as hell

and a hidden trick - super clean filter. Set up a band, solo it, adjust to taste, record it. Cleanest filter ever. Thank me later.

Def worth the money. We’re just spoiled and most people got s***ty acoustics to where they can’t hear artefacts on other EQs

I demoed Pro-Q 3 a few months ago. The transparent "sound" is another thing I don't like. I'm a huge fan of using vintage emulations for boosting. The broad curves sound much better in my opinion. Room acoustics shouldn't play much of a of a role in hearing the character of the EQ, the acoustics will mainly alter the frequency response.

Also, the things I like from Pro-Q 3 are things I already have with iZotope's EQs. Their EQs have a masking meter, dynamic EQ, spectrum grab, you can solo bands and there's a match EQ function. Not exactly the same, but similar.

Yeah Pro-Q isn’t the way to go for coloring. I much rather pull up a Maag, Pultec, or whatever else to do that. Definitely agree.

Pro-Q is supposed to be pure & precise. It really just adds and removes. Different tool for a different job. Reminds me of the GML 8200.
I’ve been noticing more artifacts with other EQs esp w a high workload. I won’t hear the whistling and rumbling with bad acoustics and monitoring that’s why I mentioned it.

Ozone is great too I love the sound of their dynamic bands very much. It’s workflow is not my thing though. I feel like I’m running through molasses using Ozone lol.

need an engineer for an artist im working with. who's fire?

Valhalla vs neoverb which y'all using

what your mans microphone db levels?? around -12?? never seems right for me

-18 RMS and -12 peak. You can also use a VU meter plugin and aim for 0VU.

Don't stress yourself out about it too much. Its never going to be exact because vocals are so dynamic.

who wanna work?

Taking on a project to sound engineer a film, which is something I’m completely new to. Anyone have experience in mixing etc film?

The frequencies and different triggers on Donda are insane Mike dean a wizard

Yes gain-stage as you normally would and don't be afraid to slightly pan dialogue for extra clarity when there's more than two people talking and obviously remove anything below 70-80hz but only remove any low end frequencies above 80hz to clean up any mud/rumble, leave those frequencies in there if they aren't muddying up the mix. If the dialogue sounds unnaturally clean/bland throw in some subtle ambient background noise that fits the scene but keep it really low.

Look into any plugin that works like a sidechain for when there's there music playing under dialogue to bring the voices upfront but use it lightly

Also don't overdo boosting the high end frequencies of the dialogue remember it's just people talking not a song

I still don't understand how he gets his mixes so loud, saturated and bass heavy with tons of top end but still manages to make it sound under control.

This helps a ton thank you

how do I shift vocals in fl studio? like very precisely. from time to time when I record vocals and press spacebar to stop recording , the vocal jumps back a couple beats.

then when I try to drag it back to where it was supposed to be, the vocals move just a little too forward. I want to be able to move the vocal in smaller increments
help? this would really take the stress out of recording for me, so I can just get ideas out
