Have you ever wondered what order your plugins should be? Should EQ be before compression? What about saturation or chorus? Where should your reverb and delay be?

I just finished my album, where I did everything myself, and your videos along with Music Tech Help Guy were a huge reason for why I was able to do it!

I am well aware of this concept but the way you worded it this particular time somehow gave me a new understanding. Well done.

Thanks for another excellent video chock full of helpful tips 😎

[jimdukeproject]

I like your simple explanation. Also the fact you use Logic (like I have).

[cabijista]

Interesting choice to put the DeEsser after the EQ. Its usually done as part of track maintenance before you get into tone shaping.

Loved, the video like how you use the right words to make a clear point. 🎉🎉

This is awesome, I have been wondering about this. Thank you for the explanation!

[fahadhandiful]

That distortion 2 grit on the vocals sounds much better than the saturation knob

[terrykennedy-lares]

Very interesting. I didn't realize you would use so many plug ins to alter and shape the tone of vocals. All I've been using is EQ and then adding Compression and effects. I would love to see you do a video on shaping the tones on different types of voices.

Thanks so much for your great instruction. 😊

Great job here, clear and to the point!

Talking about buses and all that… realized he’s not talking exclusively about GarageBand on this one

[bobbyrocket]

That's so helpful Colin. Many thanks. Out of curiosity, where do the VU meters come in the plug in order??? TIA. Rich.

Would love to see/hear your opinion on the stock PhatFX plugin.

[kevinturvey]

excellent video - thanks very much. do you know if garageband has any built-in "plug in delay compensation"? do you have any experience of latency issues with garageband plug ins? cheers
