This Music Production Plugin Makes Me Sound Less 💩

In this video, I go over how I use Span to level my synthesizers, basslines, and look out for errors in my mixdown. SPAN is a tool many of you will see me use on tracks where I fear something sounds iffy with the power of my ears and eyes I can DIAL IN SOMETHING THAT WE BOTH AGREE SOUNDS NICE!

BRO you’re like my daily teacher while I’m in mid production lol THANK YOU 🫶🏻

[Esben.music]

Wow that tutorial helped me instantly. Thanks man again and again

[LETTMusic]

Nice video showcasing a great way to use SPAN. I recommend personally using the Mid-Side preset in SPAN so you can see mid vs. side information broken out at the same time, and to study reference tracks to see their mid vs. side breakdown as well.

I think it's great you showed the approach of using SPAN and leveling first and foremost, rather than always trying to tackle everything with EQ. Starting first and foremost with leveling is probably the right way to go about it in getting like 80% of the way there, and then EQ can be the tool to bring out for tonal shaping and giving space between any two elements that may be masking each other. Leveling is the first step to aiming for a good balance.

I actually got span from you because it does REVEAL a lot! It’s super amazing visualizer

[cekirdekci]

Zen, just want to let you know I really appreciate your serum tutorials, they really helped me understand synths in general and everything in sound design. Thank you my bro!

[iambadd]

Love those moments like 2:44. For a newish producer it is a promising sign that I vibe to my own tracks

[AllanBiggs]

Pro-tip: the VST version only(!) has the sidechain option so you can overlay your reference tracks for comparison

[mattmavromusic]

I always use SPAN but damn, this video was still super helpful

[Dorillien.]

2nd track was dope, thanks for the tip

[briancase]

I think they have a new free version too.... Some new analyzer.... I need to go look. But, yeah, Span, baby. And you can dial in the speed so that you can see smaller variations of that can help in some situations.... Click on the little icon on the upper right and start twisting knobs. Wooo!

One of the best things I've learned from you sir!

[RznB]

It gets you in the ballpark and then you can use your ears and feel confident about the decision about how much buchana to add to your squirt mix.

[bdotdilla]

Everything changed for me when i saved up and purchased Sylenth

[TheFuturetive]

Love your work techniques and have been using lots of them to help me with my tunes and use you're samples all the time but where can we get your music as these tracks your working on sound dope. Any chance you could do a vid recopmending some artists you follow and profiling some of your work too as `i would love to hear some of it.

I've always relied on my ears and I /think/ I've gotten fairly good at it, but I don't have good headphones and my hearing is damaged. I've always wanted to learn to use spectrum analyzers cuz everyone is always saying "Span is good!" but never teaching how to use it. Now I have a framework to learn and train my ears better, hopefully making my mixdowns sound at least a bit better. Thanks!
