Man, your knowledge and tips about limiters and clippers, the transfer curves for example, is such a rare thing to hear here on youtube. Thanks for sharing the word!

Brilliant video Nicholas! That song provided a wonderful example of what to listen for, and the challenges with trying to preserve weight and sub while getting the song in the pocket.

I've never used the Vintage Limiter like that, but now I'm inspired. When I've needed to inflate lower level material without affecting peaks I've been using the Gold Clip Gold parameter, which does a good job too. Between the modern (short knee) and the more aggressive classic mode (long knee), it can work well. 2.5 dB of max boost in the transfer curve for modern and 6 dB for classic, so you can do some more heavy-handed duties

Thanks for the video, as always. Lots of great takeaways from this one!

You know, I’ve been doing this for a good while and I couldn’t believe how good the vintage limiter was at bringing up the rms in a transparent way, then the maximiser for the final loudness but I’m glad that people are using the vintage limiter more because it’s seriously useful (it’s also a. Great parallel compressor in mixing)

I think youd love reaper.
Super well coded and its very light on its feet. You can solo a delta signal with one click on any track or plugin- and oversample any plugin you want.

This video saved my life last night. jaja barely kidding. Have had a problem master & I couldn't work it out for a couple days, even after watching a few other videos & trying all my regular tricks the kick was still destroying my master. This fixed it!

[Hello-plqe]

Will be trying that out today, thank you.

Definitely add ozone clarity on transient mode before hitting the limiter. So the master dynamics are musical especially for this song with those bubble sounds.

Been binging your videos lately, it's a wealth of knowledge. Would love to see a video on the new Maselec eq plugin, I am personally blown away by it!

[substance]

Great insight on using the delta to hear what it's taking away! Have you tried the Sonible smart:limit? I'd be curious to hear your opinion on it.

[ProgressiveSoundAudio]

Great vid mate, i really need to update my Ozone as it looks as if it's really grown a lot.

[Watchiepum]

Great stuff! Insightful tutorial, as per usual

[shivbhalla]

Have you tried DMG limitless? It seems to be the best at maintaining the tonal balance, even more extreme settings

[psybursonic]

Would love to see a video where you take a look at the new TDR Special Filters and when you might use these for mastering vs other tools.

I keep forgetting how the IRC modes work. I watched your video when it came out, also worked through the manual once. Doesn't stick easily. But with the delta modes it is a lot more tangible to get a sense of what is happenning. I should fresh up on it again...

[tryingtotryistrying]

on more of a production note i made the mistake of trying out the big sky reverb plugin. it sounds amazing.

[ozzee_]

Do you recommend using the analog type on the vintage limiter? It has a slower release ik that much, is it bec you don’t want to break the low end apart?

[djholla]

thanks for that tip. i allways had that problem XD

[tundramusicproduction]

what have you done on your voiceover here it sounds super codecy and almost synthesized...

[senkela]

Pity the song is terrible. Could you show on a busy dance mix?
