- Here's an advanced stereo trick for precise width control - using mid/side shaping to remove stereo pops and clicks from transients.

Me watching this on my phone: ahhh yes
?? Sounded completely clear
Remember folks, 99% of all music ever recorded, including the majority of the music you've loved, never was this fucking anal about the mixes and those mixes sounded amazing.
mixes sounded trash shut up i smell skill issue
Give an example
@AboveEmAllProduction anything recorded on tape
@@derekrushe 🤦🤦🤦
Remember kids, don't worry about evolution at all. Just take it from our forefathers who died of dysentery.
I use shaperbox for gating for precise control. Thhis plugin is so versatile
A gate works well too🤷🏾♂️😂
Amazing surgical control and advice.
Tips and tricks from cable guys, aka how to apply common sense 😂
I'd recommend this level of surgical mixing should only be reserved for mix engineers, not artists actually trying to write and "finish" music. Being this anal will almost certainly give you fatigue.
uhh id say thats a terrible sample / sound design to begin with, id choose a new sample then try and fix that because it sounded bad and now it sounds worse.
man i just wanna make tracks and release them, im not good at all this mixing and mastering stuff, what can i do after making a track to get it ready to send to someone who can do all the heavy lifting, surgical stuff
can people stop trying to sell shaperbox to me?
Great tip! Shaperbox is so versatile and an awesome company! You’re my A+ plug-in company right now!
Hey, thanks! We appreciate you 🫡
You could do this with Utility by automating it from mono to stereo, no?
Not sure how that would work offhand. But if it's just a toggle, automating like that could sound very weird.. since there's no blend from completely mono to stereo.
Killer track btw. Thanks for the tactical treats lol
i’m listening this on iphone right now and the transient just died
In the sides, yes - exactly what I wanted :)
this is huge def gonna try this in the daw o7
Quick question is that shaper plug in on your stereo output bus or on the snare track?
snare track
Love your work man
I appreciate that 👍
Where can i listen to your MUSIC? 😢
This is amazing
that's actually really nice
Ooo, that's an awesome idea!
That’s incredible
Great tip! Love Shaperbox :)
What wave analyzer do you use?
Its inside shaperbox actually
how do you get your utility to say 'mid/side' rather than 'width' i cant find a setting for it?
Right-click the header and choose from the menu 👍
That's a beautiful tip. Thank you!
Is it better to have all punchy transients in mono because i hear many mixes today that sound good and have percs, snare and even kick in a wideo stereo.
A mono transient will sound more directional, if you imagine hitting a drum with a stick it's a very small focussed point. Especially when you combine it with a mono or narrow reverb. Not better or worse but perhaps more natural/realistic.
Why put the snare in the center? Wouldnt those frequencies compete with vocals? Maybe depends on the genre but my logic is vocals and lows (bass, 808, kick) in the middle
In electronic music, the snare generally works best as a central element (though panning snare a little off centre can work). Mixing snare and vocal, like all midrange elements, is always a balancing act.
@@Cableguys thank you
Impressive
You’re the best
Thank you
🔥🔥🔥🔥
any solution for people without shaperbox?
Midside eq plus a transient shaper. Or bounce mono and sides separately with a utility and manually fade in the side. I'd honestly just find a different sample lol
@@daynemin Finding a new sample to suit the tune would take a lot longer in this case.
@@Cableguys haha yep sometimes the track is too far along. Appreciate the content!
You could create an effect chain with 2 utilitys, split the side and mid signal and use a transient shaper for the sides, or you could use volume automation on the sides to be more precise, it would take longer but you could do it once, resample it and swap out the original sample with the resampled one
But the transient spike is now gone, no? Sounds like its no longer there in the signal (neither on the side, nor in the center). Listen to it with headphones!
I only edited out the tiny spike in the side signal. The mono signal is left untouched.
@@Cableguys Yes, but I thought that the purpose of your trick is to bring the transient spike from the side into the center. Instead it's completely gone. Now the attack of the snare is missing and it sounds like a snare with a fade-in or as if you used a transient shaper to reduce the attack.
@@esahm373 This is exactly what I want here - no weird spike in the sides, but the same mono signal as before. The faded attack is only in the sides, which is fine in this case.
@@Cableguys Oh, okay! I thought the idea is to collapse the side transient into the center / Mid signal, not remove it altogether. Otherwise you could have just used the volume shaper and removed the initial transient, no?
Best plugin of the decade
