I always forget about the splitter tool. I find it easier to visualize by doing a send to an FX channel and put the parallel plugins there. Then you can blend it in to taste using a big fader.
Apparently, Motown used to do parallel compression on vocals to give them more grit. They’d have a clean channel and would add in heavy compression on another channel and blend to taste.
Great info as always Joe. I parallel process just about every instrument/ vocal that I am mixing. I also use parallel processing on the 2 buss and even when I master I do some parallel processing.,
HI!, Seeing that you're a great guitar player and understand pedals and amps/cabinets a lot more than I do. Can you may make a video regards how to use diffrent amp sims in Ampire for people like me who never played electric guitar. I do play a bit of acoustic Guitar. Maybe add some Bass guitar demostartion as weel if you can. Just to get good sounds I or people whould use most it diffrent genres and styles of songs. Thanks
Why not two Parallel busses. One flavors the low frequencies and the other flavors the higher frequencies. This would require a filter first. So your plugin chain goes something like : high/low pass filter, EQ, compressor. The EQ is to flavor the compressor giving control what frequencies see the light of the compressor. So you’re pushing desired frequencies into the compressor’s threshhold while others don’t see the compressor.
Splitter is cool but if I 'M not mistaken it is like a real splitter that mean the signal got split and then if we just balance both volume we need to reboost the first path to act like a traditional prll processing
I would recommend a conversion neck if you have a spare guitar that you don't mind swapping the neck out on. Warmoth has them, as do a few other manufacturers. Or, just get an affordable baritone and upgrade the components as you go if you enjoy it. I converted one of mine, and it's a blast.
You do such a great job! At the 4:12 area in the video, it prob would have been better if you didn't even use the words LEFT and RIGHT.... could be confusing to some. You could have denoted the splits as Channel 1 and Channel 2 - just like it says in the Studio One Splitter graphic. Luv you, man!
If I saw correctly for the guitar example you didn’t use a guitar buss but routed your single guitar input into the interface to both armed guitar tracks from that single guitar signal. Am I right on that? I am excited to try all of this and thank you!
This is a great video! I mainly do live mixing and use some parallel compression on drums. Would this work well on live vocals in a church setting? Thank you!
I've heard that The Machine (the guy who worked on some earlier Lamb of God albums) would do a parallel compression, of the ENTIRE mix... 😮 I feel like that would expose a lot of things. What's your thoughts on this method of parallel compression Joe? Have you ever used/tried it?
I'm only four minutes in and already wondering how this is different from using the wet/dry adjustment on any given plugin (not that they all have that, but most seem to, at least in Reaper).
This was confusing to me (fellow reaper guy too) but I’ve found the aux channel is neat for sending channels to unique fx chains I can individually blend plug-ins within that fx chain and then to the main track. Varying individual fx plug-ins that I can blend as one unit into the main channel. Not sure if that made sense. But it also can save on cpu as well as glue multiple instruments with a single aux channel.
Hey Joe..... Off topic, have been seeing this the past few videos...... Your cameras corners are rounded like the ring hood is not seated properly....... As I edit a lot of video's this kind of triggers me..... SHARP CORNERS PLEASE!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 On Topic, Informative as always.... Thanks Joe...
You have no idea how much you are appreciated! I don't know...maybe you do. But if not, BOOM!, there it is! Thanks, Joe.
Love me some Redlight on vox. I use it all the time... 😎

Tons of gems in this vid. Thanks!!!
the splitter tool just knocks me out every time. so versatile and just makes such a difference, just need to learn all its tricks. great video too
Great idea

Very good totally agree,everything was awesome,Guitar to die for tone OMG❤
Worked wonders with the guitar! I try dry/wet with vocals (voiceover), and yes, it's a whole new palette. Excellent video. Thank you. 👍
Also...awesome class, as always. Experimenting with parallel processing rn
Wow this really helped. thank you.
SUBSCRIBED!!!! Geez! Thanks a lot! It worked!
Amazing 👏 🙀 I'm inspired
Hi Joe !! I didn't know this tip.. it seems very usefull.. many thanks
Wow.
Great idea using distortion for vocals on a chorus - thanks! :)
Great video. Thanks Joe.
Thanks for all you do!
The lessons always expand my thinking I great ways!
Ok, breakthrough moment for me with the dual guitar amps. That was awesome, trying that myself. Greast video as usual Joe.

Unbeknowst to me, I was already working this process. Experimenting for the win!😅😅
What about Parallel Wings? That's when you have a meet up at B-Dubs and you order both Traditional and Boneless lol
Now I want a baritone gtr lol

Thinking the same thing but that could just be us loll

The Michael Jackson reference cracked me up 😂 I’ve been using S1 for about 4 years and I still don’t know half the things it does!
Hi Joe. Is this available in Artist version of Studio One?
I have that program. But I don't see the Splitter option?
Could someone explain why this is different than puting the compressor direct on the drums buss chanel but with a lower threshold? Thanks.
Joe Gilder's not my lover...he's just the...err wait sorry this got weird.
😂😂
hes just a teacher, works for studio one

Jeff, Jimi and Eddie prob would not agree on that gtr approach.....

It’s a wide angle attachment I’ve been using for like a year 😂
I see that some of the pros use 3 to 4 drum busses ?
It seems like we don't need our paid vst's and plugins anymore :)
You said it! I’ve been preaching this for a while. Studio One pro has everything to make a professional mix. 😃
I was with you until the part where you didn’t show or explain how to do parallel compression in ProTools…
First!
Everything sounds better with just a little bit of wrongifying... 🤣
