      Aren’t these plugins he’s using stereo plugins? He has them on quad channels. They are only affecting the left and right. Am I wrong?

      I wish you would compare them with volume normalized. The difference is big, but the first thing I hear is that the modified sound is louder overall. Only after playing them at roughly the same perceived volume I could hear what those plugin do.
      (Yes, I know, compressor, but still)

    Thank you for taking the time to make this. Not a fan of the interface on the API plugs though, a bit fiddly tends to kill my flow. The Phase plugin is cool for stereo tracks but you have to be very careful with mono compatibility. Sounds great on the example you used though.

    I like what you did for the drums but it's really difficult to tell improvement in sound when you aren't matching volumes with your A/B comparisons. Everuthing louder almost always sounds better, even to trained ears.

    • @andreiviievskyi2838
      @andreiviievskyi2838 5 років тому

      that's the point of mixing, make it sound better - if louder is better then that's what it is. my personal opinion tho.

    • @rez9386
      @rez9386 4 роки тому

      Actually this a/b is a good one... the one thats bad is compression a/b usually they dont re adjust the volume. In this case it's EQ.

    I love Tom Holkenborg's entire series of videos on yt, and yes, that includes the pasta one :D However, for the purpose of comparison and showing, i'm not a fan of boosting and then comparing to the much quieter bypassed signal. Tricks the brain into thinking "yea, the one with tons of punch and thud and air sounds way better and more present". Anyway, thanks for the video, Tom & Waves.

  • @nicksaya

    The plugins that are being put on his quad channels are only processing Left and right front. Any thoughts on this. Which plugins work on all channels ?

  • @cornerliston
    @cornerliston 5 років тому +1

    Tom is such talented film composer. Watch his channel to see lots of videos explaining many of his music scores in detail.
    The really interesting thing would be to show the processing up UNTIL this processing. This is more a bus treatment. Not unnecessary but obviously 95% of the sound is already done.
    And the good thing is you can achieve exactly the same thing with any EQ and compressor. Analogue simulation is almost all in the psychology of the mind. No one would be able to choose between two tracks of the same drums teated with analogue simulation plugs and just ordinary plugins. That said I often use them myself because it makes me listen to the change I make in the music instead of watching an eq graph analyser. (Which I like as well.)

  • @setvice
    @setvice 4 роки тому

    Why not add a bit of EQ after the stereo widening instead of going back? Wouldn't changing the EQ at the start of the chain then effect the compressor too and so then the threshold would need to be adjusted too?

  • @educateyourself3872
    @educateyourself3872 2 роки тому

    If you limit/maximize all the drums (drum stems) to almost clipping, how does that interplay with the different elements of the track? I assume you wouldn’t want to do that for the other stems and would only do it for the drums because they would be the loudest element in this case? Also wouldn’t adding the other instruments push the overall mix past clipping then? I’m confused about how to add all this. Thanks

    Awesome tutorial by a real master! One thing I would add for the newbies: while you are actually mixing and processing a track (not just for a tutorial), it's probably not the best idea to fiddle with settings of plugins in a chain with plugins bypassed before it. Doesn't make sense. Works for the sake of the tutorial though

    • @shashankchauhan5009
      @shashankchauhan5009 3 роки тому

      I understand what you're saying but in modern DIGITAL music, you need to look at it in terms of timbre too. By adding L3, he just increased the loudness of the "timbre" of the drum groove that he thought would pierce through the mix. And to create "HEADROOM" you just need to bring the "Output/Volume" fader down, in this case, by 4-5 db.This would ensure that the punchiness of the drum groove where every hit, flam, syncopated hits, etc. are prominently audible in the mix. Hope this helps!
