Sonic Academy proudly welcomes back Psy-Trance heavyweight Nate Raubenheimer aka Protoculture and this week he's checking out how to use ADPTR's Metric AB from Plugin Alliance.
This comprehensive solution for referencing mixes and masters is Nate's 'go-to' plugin and over these two videos we get to see why.
Firstly we check out how to set up our references with the track we're working on and use its vital 'one button' loudness matching facility to match the level of your reference material to your DAW playback and also the comprehensive playback controls allowing playback to be synced to the DAW timeline or playback from cue points or loops.
In the second video we take an in-depth look at the analysis options available which include Spectrum, Correlation, Stereo Image, Dynamics, and Loudness.
With it's clear user interface and various options in how you wish to view the two or more tracks you're referencing, it's easy to see why this plugin can prove invaluable in getting your tracks up to a professional standard before they're released to the world.
A very handy tool and definitely one to add to your arsenal!

Thank you
THANK YOU
Thanks 😂😂😂
This is an amazing tool, inserted after the mastering chain and sonarworks! Wicked
So you put sonar works last in the mastering chain?
@@royalinvasionproductionstv6370 yes I do, sorry I actually wrote it confusing. It’s really good and has helped me hear the energy in the audio at different frequencies. Learnt so mych
I understand the mastering chain part, how would you suggest my order go with a plugin like mixchecker and sonar works in the chain as well?
@@royalinvasionproductionstv6370 sonar works always has to be the last part of any chain :)
Sonar and A/B sit on the listen buss.
12 min in and its painful to watch .......
great plug in and great intro, thx
set up in Cubase 8.5; devices F3 mixconsole selected on left row Stereo out > right side insert MAB
Thank you for the video. How do you drag and drop without the plugins disappearing as soon as you move the file you want to drop into Metric AB , as soon as I move the file over Cubase, the plugins disappear. I have turned “ always on top “ off , both options have the same issue
Yeah this is a Cubase issue... you can set a favourites folder in the file browser in Cubase and just drag from the internal browser to the plugin.
Hi Nate. Thanks .
This tutorial was pretty unorganized. Thanks for the upload but like 5 minutes to get to the basic functions is crazy. Some sort of scripting or story boarding would have helped
Sorry you didnt like it
Story boarding?! Are you joking? Lmao........This is a plugin overview, not a high budget sitcom.
How do you remove tracks from the plugin?
When using the match function, what is being matched? RMS, LUFS, or another weighting? It's doesn't say in the manual and it's pretty important. A track with a higher mean volume can sound quieter than a track with a lower mean volume but higher LUFS?
It matches the rms
RMS
References are critical
anyone know what the red stuff below 0 is in the correlation section ? thanks.
Great
I use control room for AB referencing, but I have to match the RMS/LUFS manually. If Steinberg updates control room to auto-match the RMS like Metric AB, you wouldn't need this.
5 minutes in....nothing said.....
thanks for sharing, i appreciate anyone at least trying to educate! some constructive advice. Your voice over is way too compressed, the bass boost is too much also. The mouth clicks and pops are way too loud, due to over compression and eating the mic. a declicker would help. Hope that helps
Haha I cant believe I hit a guy from protoculture to show me how to use a mastering tool to master death metal. Cool!
can your mix and the reference track play in the same time ?
No that would make no sense IMHO... you can however see the analysers for both simultaneously.
Aux channels work in Ableton, as well as Groups... as your "control room." I think thats just a fancy word for "AUX Buss Channel," but its weird that Cubase has one single stage that goes before the master buss. Ableton can also now have groups within groups, which is convenient. I switched to REAPER. Superior audio playback, rendering, and better handling of VST's (less CPU, highest quality) than any other DAW. The new Cubase and Pro Tools releases have some neat stuff in them, but the dev's of REAPER are already working those into the next update. I've used Logic, Ableton, Cubase, Pro Tools, sf Acid Pro, and some others. I haven't used Studio One, but it would be a distant 2nd to REAPER for me (mainly because of CPU limitations).
sorry to say this but i've seen several of Nate's tutorials and this is par for the course. They tend to be meandering and lack focus.
Cubase... you are a PRO
Seriously, STOP moving/resizing windows all the time, it is extremely annoying!
it's fine
I can't resize this plugin GUI no matter what!
I wanted to now the path of the metric audio files. So thank you for telling me 10 minutes about cubase - iam an ableton user btw. - and then using our own audio files, dont do drugs!
I thought that accent sounded familiar...
This is a copy of Mastering the Mix plugin Reference
MCompare is cheaper...
Stopped after 5 min. It was going nowhere. Horrible tutorial
Three minutes in, still not discussing set up.
Thanks for the effort, but... that's more a tutorial on how not to do a tutorial :-)
SA accent.
6 minutes in and so far got nothing of any use? soz man but this just aint helpful. No worries I will RTFM
Great plugin, awful price
You can get it now for $39
WTF?
?
