Plug Ins I Can't Live Without - FAQ Friday

No matter what DAW you’re using, most of the stock plug ins are going to do most of the work for you! Some DAW’s even come with fantastic emulations of classic pieces of equipment!

Waves MV2 Plug In

With high and low level compression controlled by a streamlined interface, the MV2 is the simplest, most flexible way to control your sound. With intuitive dual faders for quick dynamic optimization, it’s never been easier to maximize your volume.

Its features include:
- High- and low-level compression in one plugin

Waves Renaissance Bass Plug In

The industry’s favorite plugin for delivering a richer, deeper low end that translates even on small playback systems. A tried-and-true workhorse for countless Grammy-winning engineers.

When you need your bass to be heard even on a laptop or mobile device, Renaissance Bass is your best friend. Using Waves’ patented MaxxBass psychoacoustic technology, R-Bass accurately reproduces low-frequency content on playback systems that cannot physically handle these signals. This is achieved by the creation of harmonics of the fundamental, which fool the brain into perceiving bass frequencies that are not actually there.

With a simple, user-friendly interface—just 3 controls for frequency tuning, intensity and output gain—R-Bass makes it quick and easy to dial in a punchy bass sound that will sound great on systems of all sizes.

Its features include:
- The favorite low-end enhancement plugin for Grammy-winning engineers
- Bigger, tighter bass on any playback system: from mobile devices to big sound systems
- Extends perceived bass response by up to 1.5 octaves
- Powered by Waves’ patented MaxxBass psychoacoustic technology
- Clip-free performance

No matter what stock plug ins you have, the Waves MV2 and the Waves Renaissance Bass can save your mix!

What other questions do you want me to answer? Let me know below to be featured in our next FAQ Friday video!

[Beatledave]

Warren, your integrity, honesty, transparency has never or will ever be in question. You’ve made such a remarkable contribution & I can say you’re one of the most trustworthy sources of information on the web! Keep up the great work & keep doing that thing you do!

[Xeridae]

Appreciate your transparency but personally, your integrity as a content creator has never been in question for me. You have given so much back to the community for free and it has all been valuable information that I am grateful for. I seem to be impervious to product placement. I buy something because I know it's good. Not because someone else said it's good or has it sitting in a corner of the shot. And if I'm not familiar with the product, then I research it first. Thanks for everything you've given back over the years. Some people have no idea how impossible this information would have been to obtain even 10 years ago.

[legacyShredder]

Man, I love this dude. He demystifies the magic of recording while also doing everything he can, seemingly, to be an honest man while doing so.

[johnnypunish]

Your honesty, care, and integrity are the biggest reasons I am fan and subcribe. THANK YOU for being a great
teacher. RESPECT in the highest

[yens]

Transparency in all that you do is what gives you integrety, as a professional and as a human being.. Thank you Warren for showing the way.

[Nopleaseandthanks]

I love the Scheps Channel sttrip. I use it all the time

[BrockBarr]

Warren, your guitar playing is better than 90% of you tube guitar players. Beautiful. ❤️⚡👏

[Somedei]

I like EDM and retro 80s but I freaking dig this channel, How can you not love this man ?

[CaliberFiftyVideos]

That has got to be the best FAQ Friday video so far.
Not much tips on how to record, but the message and truths told towards the end, priceless.

[willpemberton]

I’m not a musician and have absolutely no connection to the industry whatsoever but, love the videos, really interesting stuff. So glad I stumbled across your channel whilst searching for something else completely. Thank you.

[paul_smith]

I have a The Paul, 1980. My first real guitar. Had it re-fretted about 2 years ago the luthier said it was a pleasure to work on it. I love it and it plays, like yours, superbly. My friend sold it to my in 1987 for £165 as he wanted the money for something else. I'll never let it go.

[andrewwalls]

Warren, I liked your comments about the essence of the song vs. ear candy. It resonates with a lot of what I learned when I was studying composition...this idea of being deliberate with voicings and having a really good reason any time you want to have two instruments sounding the same note. I'm definitely still learning how a focused production from the ground up makes everything come together easier. My thanks to you as always for sharing your valuable wisdom and perspective!

[flapjack]

You were super early on the Kali game, Warren. Thanks again for sharing them with us all. I've had a pair of LP-8's for a little over a year now, and they haven't let me down yet. Instantly made a big positive impact on my mixes. Great stuff!

[asteroidmrecords]

We bought our set of Kali monitors because they were on both yours and pensados desks for a few months. The logic was "if they're good enough for them."

[CELEESST]

This is still one of the best channels about music production, learned a lot here in the last year when I started to follow you guys. Keep up the good work. What about mixing a production, it's hard to understand where some producers want to go to, with a song. Tracking here is impossible, so I have to rely on outhouse recordings. And most of the producers giving me extra info. To get us on the same page. I'm not earning money, but I'm addicted to music and keep me sane, and I love challenges. Thanks all.

[TheJagdtiger]

I have to say your honesty and your great outlook are what drives me .. thanks. this is my escape to day to day stress of life. and you inspire.

Cheers if you're ever in San Diego, there is always a cold one for you mate.

[consumer]

Dang man. Everything you talked about makes so much sense from songwriting to the community. You probably have no idea how inspiring you truly are👊 most epic producer to date!

[patriciooc]

One of the most meaningful statements ever on any platform! Love your videos and your integrity and “straightforward approach “ are an example 🙏🙏🙏

[williamarendell]

I think it's ok to advertise as long as there is some give and take, so to speak. That Pedal Show is one long advertisement for the Gig Rig and I love every second of it. They give more than they get and so do you Warren. Your video on vocal production spun me into hours blissful experimentation that I am grateful for.
