People saying they dont hear a difference forget they are listening to a mono bluetooth speaker from their phone through youtube with dolby atmos eq enabled.

[clocks]

sometimes just enabling the eq on the bx_channel plugins and hitting the pre dyn button can give such a cool vibe that doesn't need further tweaking. love those plugins

[clovis]

Transient control & transient split from Bitwig stock plugins are very handy as well when it comes to shaping sounds and giving space to the mix.

Great overview. As always, great information. I've heard and partially learned that the factory plugins in Ableton aren't that bad.

I really love the Elevate limiter by Newfangled Audio/Eventide. I’d check that out against the FF. Thanks for the video! All the best!

Does the Kirchhoff-EQ show masking frequencies like the proQ3?

[rtekz]

I have some plugins already and wonder if you think they are good alternatives for retro 90s techno-trance, (vinyl loudness): bx console Focusrite SC, bx console N, bx Limiter True Peak, bx masterdesk Classic, bx subfilter; All the TDL free plugins; Ozone 10; NI Komplete 14 FX including Transient Master, The Glue compressor, Bitwig stock FX. I also have hardware like TC Elec M3000, Lexicon MPX 1, GSI Specular Tempus, Focusrite voice master and Compounder. Would I be wasting money buying the stuff you recommend in this video?

TThe Kotelnikov plug in is one of those plug ins that I kind of forget about for a while from time to time, but then when I see it or remember it, I'm always blown away by what all it can do. It is really a neat tool and feels like it is doing something really unique that I don't really get out of any other plugin, but I'm sure there is other plugs that will do it, but I'm just not familiar with it.

ADPTR Metric A/B is an absolute must but only buy it when it is at an offer price that fits your budget.

[danielkisel]

Nice list quite similar to mine, I would add Softube Harmonics and Tube Tech smc2b or Drawmer 1973 if I want multiband and for electronic music masterbuss it is between Shadowhills class A, Vertigo VSC-3, Softube Bus processor and Unisum compressor for me usually.

[apoplexiamusic]

i work on both Drum & Bass (neuro) and Metal, and it's allowed me to have a more open mind about how i mix, bringing in elements of each style to the other. One of those elements is using the brainworx SSL E and G channel strips because they just work

[campar]

I use the elysia alpha master compressor, I have the shadow hill class a, and im sure if i dial it in right its amazing but it was killing my kick transient and there was barely any gain reduction. Slow attack fast release

[Joelfrancis]

Great tutorial you have a lot of talent. Keep it up Homie.

[GaryBradleymusic]

Great plugins can solve problems elegantly, be subtle and Wow! in ways that many cheaper can't. Newfangled Audio plugins are a great compliment to Fabfilter. Saturate is a great clipper. I use SSL suite especially 4KB, drumstrip, Plate, Fusion, Flex verb. Relab LX480, Shadow Hills too. Sonnox inflator for mastering gain. I don't use Waves plugins any more. Tx for this video.

[marcrauber]

Could you show us as experienced mastering engineer how you would work with iZotope Ozone to get a decent techno track mastering?

[VentureNW]

Those Adptr Audio plugins on PA, are not cheap. That Metric A|B looks pretty cool and very useful... maybe I will wait to see if they have a sale.

[Tony-ypok]

Could the super fast release on the compressor be causing the distortion you’re hearing?

[murraywebster]

Haven’t you tried any of the Sonible plug-ins?

[ConnWilliams]

Just started watching your stuff mate, last night I had a massive perspective shift. I've been banging my head off the keyboard for the last 6 months, but then I watched your section about modulation and holy shit it's so obvious that it's an instrument of its own! Cheers for your insight

But come on an SSL Compressor on a kick 😂

[hleet]

Did you tried the smart limiter plugin instead of Pro L2 ?
