Wow my man directly answered the infamous EQ before compression question

[bunyipdreaming]

great to finally find a tutorial/educational channel thats working with music directly related to what i wanna hard to find but worth stuff!

[ScxrletSteele]

One of my favorite tutorial channels I've found. You're articulate, engaging and very informative. I really like the video's in the 10-20 minute range. Not too long that it's too much to commit to as a viewer but not too short that it feels superficial. Thank you!

Ok man you bought me. Take my money :)

[PARENTALADVISORYPODCAST]

Currently Using FL Studio and I had a track that i used literally 20 eq's and compressors on and I was a bit scared. Used to work in Ableton and I miss it because Ableton is like a completly blank canvas and it doesnt limit you to what you can think. Its a brilliant DAW

Am using bm800 without sound card, so how do I mix track to sound proffesional

[JG-tosp]

I recently bought a softube console 1 to cut down on my mouse use while mixing, sending it back, I’m just not one of those guys who can get by with just one eq and one comp. Question though...in your example here, were you to reference the finished result, could you now achieve it with far fewer plugs?

do you make music at low volume levels?
