What are you using on your master bus?

I’ve been using God Particle on every mix since I demoed it and then bought it. In some cases I have used it to “remaster” something where I liked the mix. Here are my hints - first, your input is super important. You need to keep your level in the green most of the time, peaking close to 0. In order to achieve both level and a consistent peak, you really start to look at using clippers and limiters on the way in. Controlling your transients is really important so you get that nice consistent level yet not clip the input. Clip what you need to clip first. I also find that I like an EQ before God Particle to shape things a little. If you are doing a bunch of large EQ moves at this stage then go fix it a track/bus level. Keep your EQ moves light on the master bus. Then once in GP you fine tune using its EQ, if needed. The limiter does sound good and works well, but I have found that it is really not true peak so you need to meter it afterwards and make adjustments. You also will want to employ dithering if changing bit rates in your bounce. If you don’t want to use the GP limiter, I have used Sonible smart:limit or Ozone 10 advanced maximizer to bring a little more control to the bounce. Hope this helps someone out there.

Ignore the haters, the plugin sounds great - I've used it a lot. I disable the limiter and manually do that later. Don't always use default settings. Set your mix to 0% and push it until you have the sound you want. Sometimes that might only be 25%, sometimes it might be 125%. If you do enable the limiter, you'll get some distortion if you push the mix too high - so keep that in mind. Ignore the highs meter - you'll rarely hit it. It's not important.

People are talking about this plugin like they were talking about BBE exciters back in the late 90s...

[MelodeusForever]

Thanks for the Interview wait to see what you do with it and your fascination... Let's go!!!

[michaelcarroll]

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly need or want another plugin. This sounds amazing and I love how easy the GUI is laid out.

[oh]

Hello, folks! I have to tell you this plugin doesn't mess up your mixing style. There are some rumors around this plugin, but you won't sound like Jaycen because you mix it into the same sauce. It will still disclose your personal touch. How this plugin glue and open up your mix depends on how the sources hit and how you tweak the mix bus. Your personal signature will remain, but you will hear the potential of your mix in real-time. How much of the sauce you want to use is up to you, and you can use it only as a reference. You can also use it on a parallel mix bus, e.g., for the low end. This plugin has been a time saver the last weeks for me. Try it out. It's free for five days.

Always Grateful to you Warren (and video team) for the best and most insightful product reviews. This one was especially stellar! I was kinda on the fence, but after this video I immediately purchased GP to happily support Jaycen and Cradle. Thanks again for everything

[violrmusic]

I haven't used it. But all the videos explaining what it does, has taught me more about mixbus processing, than everything I've ever seen on YouTube. Now I have developed my own simple secret sauce.

[HitTheRoadMusicStudio]

Yes AWESOME, I'm a big fan of the God Particle, especially on Pop/Hip Hop productions - thanks for the fantastic review ❤✌

I like the idea of plugins having an indication of optimal input level. While I find presets to be useful starting points, the target input level has always been an ambiguous element when compression or saturation is part of the plugin recipe. I wonder what a mastering engineer thinks about getting mixes with so much 2bus treatment baked in. I use m/s processing on elements sometimes but it's not something I use across an entire mix.

[songwriterxandtheskeletonband]

Been using it for a few months- love it! It's one of my go to tools in the master bus. I find that if you use it alongside izotope's tonal balance control you can get a mix that is perfect just with these two. Then I will bounce a mix and open a mastering track with Izotope 10 and I'm usually very happy with it. I also use it to re-master old 2 track mixes. I will open a new Master project (I use DP but they are basically all he same, no??) then I will have a master track and a stereo track with the old mix. I slap God on the stereo track mix and play around with it 'til it sounds pretty good. On the master bus I will put Izotope 10 and master to taste, of course using master balance control to get within the ball part. Works wonder for me on an old mix. things just sound so much better with the God Particle, makes my mixes come alive!

Loved the interview! Would love some more interviews of the new generation of ‘top mixers’ in the future! And also the God Particle ❤️

Hi Sir, you know I have a background in FM transmitters and Sound processing, and I hear immediately that our friend, lend a few algorithms from radio processing. That's why it sounds more "radio" I have the original Orban DSPs here at hand. And others as well. It's not a god particle at all, it's a combination of multiband processing and enhancing processes. I posted it on Sara's review too. They trick your ears. Also, there is an active phase rotator in it. That let it seems the music has some depth. Well, he can trick normal mixers and mastering engineers, but I noticed it immediately. But $100 is cheap for that kind of processing, because an Orban starts at €6000+ To be honest I was waiting for someone to come with this type of plugin. 😂

[YEE]

I love this plug-in♥️I pair it with Gulfoss before it and keep my master bus simple

[andrewmodel]

Any video involving Matt Lange will always draw me in!

[richertz]

It’s cool to see so many different experiences. This is how I’m using it. I don’t! Well not on my final mix, I use it as a tool and it helps me to keep my ear in check. I’ve found that once I strip it of and master the track myself I’m doing a lot less on the master. Once you spend some time with it you can figure out what it’s doing. However what it excels at is a fast chain on the master. Probably one of the most useful tools live seen released for sometime.

You can use it like a second engineers opinion, a stereo bus chain or as a quick mastering plugin! How cool to have so much in a plugin.

[bradashlock]

I think their marketing confuses a lot of people. I’ve seen a lot of comments on FB that this is some mastering tool. It’s not. You mix into it, so it’s in a way what I like to think of as a “pre-master” plugin. Man, I love it! Imagine it as just a big console your mix is going through with some very fresh targets to aim for. Once I get the mix roughly done, I finish the mastering with some high quality compression, EQ, and maximiser plugins to get that final sheen and make it more “mine”. This plugin follows the trend of the blur happening now between mixing and mastering. I hope the strict artificial divide between mastering and mixing collapses, and the mixer finishes also the master - it’s time to stop dividing that up between two people, and just let one artist pull everything together and make it shine - God Particle is a great step in that direction and reflects Joshua’s philosophy of taking more control over the mix.

been using this for about 3 months and just love it !!!

My worry is that this reminded me of a wet Tuesday afternoon in KGM West in Salford when the first BBE Sonic Maximiser arrived. It seemed to make everything more everything, a true magic button, it brightened up a very grey day. To the point where everything sounded bad without it. With persistent use it began to get on my nerves, making everything sound a bit, well, a bit FM radio. This looks to be more subtle and to have more variables to play with so I'm sure it's not going to work out the same. But hearing the bypass to processed switch I was reminded of that afternoon on the Man United side of the City, a very dark and foreboding place for us blues in those years.
