Hi. It looks like the message I tried to deliver wasn't clear for everyone. I don't have problem with differences in the plugin when I record or write the parts with it.The problem happens when I try to mix the drums. Think about it. After you recorded a live drum performance, do you think the drums will change every time you play them back? Of course not. You will hear no changes at all. That's why I said we should print, bounce, render the drums before adding any other processing like compression, eq, limiter, clipper, etc. I was talking from the mixing perspective.

Give it a go next time you start a new project. Or just open an old one and try to remix it with the plugin. It's a really fun exercise too. 😉

@@akosfarkas1159 deal 🙂

Hi. The reason I use the compressor and eq combination is that this way, I have very precise control over the attack and release and I can compress the sound, which brings up the sustain a lot more. Then I can select the frequency to cut with the eq. But of course you can experiment with other tools. 😉

No problem 😉

Hi. What I tried to explain was that during mixing, I don't appreciate the random changes. I don't mind if not every take is the same. Such as in real life. But once I commit to the take, it always stays the same. Such as in real life. After you record your drummer, the recordings don't jump around every time when you hit play.

@@akosfarkas1159 so you have to bounce your track

Yes. Simple as that. I just tried to explain and give a demonstration why it is important. It's surprising how often people just use these plugins as they are and just throw some limiter and clipper on the top of it and call it a day, hoping for the best. Of course, it depends on what you want to achieve. A quick demo or a polished mix. Personally, I want to know what's going on inside my mixes and don't like random surprises.

No problem 👍

Happy you liked it.

Hi. Thanks. I was using the Krimh drums by Bogren Digital.

Hi. Thanks for checking out the video. I'm happy you liked it. To be honest, this is a very capable plugin. Punches way above its weight. Just for fun, try to mix your next project using only this plugin on every track. You will be surprised how far you can go with it. 😉

Hi there. Well, to be honest you can get a decent mix with both. The only thing that can be an extra feature, that in the Amek plugin you have the TMT stuff, so you can emulate slightly different EQ behaviours on every single channel and in my opinion the limiter is more useful, but other than that... I don't know. It's a tough question :D

Thanks for watching. 🙂

Hi. I wouldn't say better or worse. It depends on what you are looking for. I'd say very different. This is a console emulation, designed to use it on individual tracks or busses in your mix. Ozon is designed mainly for mastering, so I would put it on my master bus, or use it on a finished mix. Obviously Ozon has more to offer when it comes to functions and features, but I wouldn't open it on every single channel in a 40-50 multitrack mix. Short answer is: both of them are great for what they are designed for. I'd use the console in my mix, and use Ozone when I want to do the final tweaks on a finished mix.

@@akosfarkas1159 Please tell me, is this console worth the money? Of course, now it costs $90, but in advance they ask for $400, is it really possible that for embellishing, for example, a guitar or drums, the Tube Tech Classic Channel would be worse than the this Console, seriously, it seems to me that the Tube Tech Classic channel is much better than this console, most likely I’m wrong because I just downloaded console and so far it seems that it is too sophisticated, although in terms of the final sound it is not that much better than the Tube Tech Classic channel... I’ll try to find a video where this console is used separately on a guitar or drums, if possible.

Hi. It's called Sweatpant-Swag. 🙂

@@akosfarkas1159 haha cool name. It had more of a hard rock vibe that i’m looking for.

Thank you. I'm happy that you found it helpful. 😉

Hi. Thanks. I beleive it doesn't really matter what MIDI device you use, as long as you can figure out the MIDI mapping. After all I used it with a midi keyboard so I'm sure it will work with other pads too.

Can be CPU heavy that's for sure.

Hi. If you want to use the outputs then you will record the audio from the drum module and not MIDI. So you can't use midi drum vst with audio. Those outputs for audio only. You need a mixer with the same amount of inputs as many outputs on the drum module if you want to record every drum pad on an individual track. Or you can record in stereo the whole drumkit using the left-right outputs so you need only 2 inputs on the mixer or adio interface. That would work for front of house and PA systems. But again, those outputs on the drum module are for audio signal, directly capturing the original built in drum sound. You cant use them to trigger midi drum vst like ezdrummer. Hope it make sense.

Hi. Yes I believe this should work. The only thing is that you have to make sure that your DAW recognized the drumkit as a MIDI device when you plugged it in. If you can see a signal coming in to your DAW when you hit a drum pad, you can record MIDI. Then just open a drum plugin on the recorded MIDI track and see if the plugins MIDI mapping is the same as the drum's.

Hi, this is just a riff I wrote for this video.

that's sick, dound pretty good, do you have some tabs of it? i would like to practice it, but i cant play it by ear, im beginner :D thanks for response"@@akosfarkas1159

@@alexthiel6676 Sorry mate but I don't have any tabs. I believe I was tuned down to drop C. Try to play back the video in slow speed so you can catch the notes.

@@alexthiel6676 Sorry mate I don't have any tabs. I didn't think anyone would be interested. 😆I believe it was tuned down to drop C. Try to play back the video in slow speed to catch the notes.

@@akosfarkas1159 haha, get it, i will try, thank you man :)

Hi. Thank you. I use Moises to remove the drums from the backing track. This is an app you can run on your computer. It brakes down any music into separeted tracks. So you just import the tracks from the app into reaper as WAW files, mute the drum tracks and just play along. Easy as pie ☺. You can find great videos about Moises app here on youtube. It has a free version as well. 😉

Hi. You mean as my DAW? I use Reaper.

Hi. Thank you for the feedback. To be honest I was thinking about breaking down the videos by instruments or instrument groups, let's say in the first part I focus on drums, then in the second part bass and guitars, and in the next one on vocals or the mix bus and so on. In the future videos I will try something like that. Thanks again.

Hi. Thank you. More production related video will come for sure. 😉

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi. It's called Commala 5.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, thanks. If you install the free version of Slate Drums, it comes with 3 presets. They sound decent and with a bit of EQ and compression you can craft your drum sound to be perfectly sitting in the mix. Also there is the free version of Krimh Drums by Bogren Digital. It comes with a very nice preset tailored for metal and finally you can get the free ML Drums. It is kinda limited with toms and cymbals but has nice presets as well.

Hi, thanks. Happy you liked the video. As far as I remember I didn't do any processing on any tracks but the Amek plugin. It is a very capable channel strip and you can do a lot after you figure it out and get use to the workflow. I'm sure you'll love it.

Hi, unfortunately by default it doesn't map with the kit and there is no midi map for the Alesis strike (like Slate Drums) in the plugin. You need to manually assign each pad to the right drum. It took me like 15 mins then I saved it as a user preset. So you need to do it once, save it and you are good to go.

Well... as wa all know death metal and landscaping are very similar activities 🤣 btw I didn't even know that there are ads on my video. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi there. To be honest I don't know if I got lucky or not. ☺ I think the main problem with the hihat is that people set it way too tight on the stand. I saw a youtube video about it and it was a game changer for me. Try to find it unfortunately I can't remember the guy or the video title. Basically it's about leaving a bit of a wiggle room for the hihat so it can move and wave upside down. Try to loosen it up a bit. I hope it helps. Let me know.

honestly all i did to fix my issue was to replace the hi hat ever since i got a new one it works amazing

Thanks a lot. Yes, all done in Reaper.

Thanks. I had the same issue in the past. Didn't really understand what I was doing. The best way to learn any plugins to open it on every track and try to tweak the knobs to see and hear what they do on different instruments. ☺

Thank you!

I ignored it too but I watched a plugin demo a few weeks ago and I was like: Let's try to mix a song as it was on a console desk. I think it works.

I know. ☺ It happenes to me all the time. ☺

Hi. I heard about fuser (the advertising literally pops up in every 5 minutes on facebook ☺) but I was a bit sceptical. I will give it a try. Thanks.

Thanks a lot. I have to say this plugin changed my mind about channel strips.

Agree. It's one of the most usable and feature packed channel strip plugins out there. The only plugin comes close to this is the Scheps Omni channel by Waves but the workflow on the Amek is more convenient for me.

i have that one too, i should give it a try more, what does scheps omni work well on the best? @@akosfarkas1159

I think it works great on everything but for me it really shines on drums and bass guitar.

@HitzMakin I know you won't like this, but selecting presets for your track is not considered mixing. Every track is unique, the presets give you a rough idea, but it's not always what the track needs. Pay for someone to mix your tracks and you'll get a better result with better translation (will sound great on every device).

@@bassinblue did you even read my post / lol / --- being a songwriter/producer, i want to quickly get a rough mix that sounds almost polished like i am listening to it on the radio,-----

Thank you. I'm happy you liked it.

Thanks ☺
