    BS. If you top-down-mix and have crap on your mixbus, it's your fault and not the fault of top-down-mixing. Discussing corner cases doesn't help at all. And if you mix a track the way you want it, why the f would you want to alter it afterwards? Mix top-down so that you do not need any mastering bullsh1t. at all. I do not want another set of ears.

    "Less is more" is not an original concept. I think people who have paid so much money for hundreds of plugins feel the need to use them everywhere without much thought. Most times I get an outside session with 7+ plugins on each track it almost always sounds better once I deactivate them all.

    It's how it always was! 😂 Many studios (re)bought the biggest old skool (now mostly obsolete) boards from the 50s / 60s / 70s one coulght find for peanuts, that they actually cost nowadays - extra only to charge more - because "that 100 feet long huge epic elite board with that delicate analogue feel" a.k.a. dull, muffy sound 😂 from the unknowing clients 😂 oftentimes those boards didn't even work besides the flashy lights, but all the core insides like circuits and capacitors were leaked, dusty, faulty and eaten away by rust and mold 😂 all for show!

    I'm not metalhead, more of that I'm electronic music DJ but I know this song since it was released. I've immediately bought this album and I LOVE IT (still have limited CD edition). And this track should be one of the iconic tracks on tracklist for Forza Horizon or Need for Speed. Stabbing the drama drives into the ground without mercy.

  • @chrisrune123

    could you mix the two in one song? so some parts quad tracked and some of the technical parts dual? or is that gonna be bad

    • @DTPVH
      @DTPVH 8 днів тому

      You can do whatever you want. Just be aware that the same tone might not work for both. Quad tracks sound louder and gainier, so you may want to tweak your tone to make it work.

    I was in a studio with one of these, and the engineer was using the SSL as desk to hold his laptop😅. No lie. He used his mouse to mix on his computer screen. This board is absolutely useless nowadays. Unless you're recording a live band. I heard most engineers charge more per hour because the artists or band see that big board, and they think its doing something special 😅

    As an owner of an Origin myself, I can say you can automate. Do like I do when I mix in it. Use the ssl sigma in insert on the low fader, at the end of the compressor or so if you insert something in it. Then use midi and the uf8 and write the automation in Pro Tools. It’s even easier for recall. Sigma has 16 channels either mono/stereo. I sometimes use the sigma for automation on the sends also. 🙌

  • @AA_MusicGuy1111
    @AA_MusicGuy1111 26 днів тому

    None of this really solves the problems practically. If the faces don’t automate or control the DAW then there’s no point in having one bank of a daw controller in the middle section out of the way. It defeats the purpose of channel faders Also the recall isn’t just the faders but al the other settings also

    I never even heard of top-down mixing until people started talking about it on UA-cam. It makes a lot more sense to me to get your mix sounding like you want without Mix bus inserts. Another thing I don't understand is why people have a drums bus, that doesn't make any sense to me. I've got nine faders or something here on the drums. I don't see the point in the summing them to one channel before they go out to the tape. The drums bus also known as a sub mix is something you do when you don't have enough channels, not something you should do if you have everything close mic'd and on its own channel... Just saying

  • @SDA-Sound
    @SDA-Sound Місяць тому

    One of the biggest trade offs in modern metal is the guitar. It has to be played and recorded differently because of such low tunings. No more bar chords, everything is single note and low gain with the mid range EQd to the sides so it leaves room for the vocals. You can hear the phasing the mid side processing does (which I hate) but there’s really no other way to do it until plug ins like track spacer or soothe get muuuuch more advanced.

  • @SDA-Sound
    @SDA-Sound Місяць тому

    The vocals are what interest me most. Obvi he’s an amazing singer but how they’re getting that much air, controlled lows and highs and even compression and limiting cervini is a genius. My guess is a shit load of vocal editing but I’d LOVE to know.

  • @WickedToneStudios

    Love the reference of Appetite, that album was the first album i ever bought with my own money. It made me want to play guitar, so much so that i have the logo as a tattoo on my arm. I listened to that whole album pretty much daily for months. Still one of only a handful of albums that i can listen to front to back and never skip a song.

  • @WickedToneStudios
    @WickedToneStudios Місяць тому

    I agree 100 percent. I used to be one of the people that just used presets or copied the youtubers settings. Now within the last couple months i decided im going to learn to mix for real. Im a guitar player that got into mixing. Ive been going back now and learning fader balance, then once im feeling good on getting good fader mixes then ill move on to EQ, then compression. But im also learning the why of why you do something or why you shouldn't do something and the process of how it works and why.
