It is always great to hear( and see ) Marc D’s take on things when it comes to mixing. Likewise his explanations which are really educational. A true gem, I must say.
What's with the audio pops throughout Marc Nelson's segment? Good info though! Would you say the trick with the Ampex and the API eq works the same if you are using the same eq type on the UA API Vision Strip, too?
Some great plugins there. I like the Cytomic the glue, it's a nice plugin. Thanks very much guys for the tips and a great big thank you to the PLAP team
hey great stuff. I like using the craneborne Carnabys (EQ), WES audio Dione (SSL type Compressor) and the SPL Big (stereo width) to preshape my mixes. Just as a Top Down approach.
ssl native buss compressor mk2 and the louder than liftoff silver bullet plugins is my go to these days. Rarely switch on my hardware since i put these two together on my mixbuss.
The options for plugins these days are mind boggling. Did anyone suddenly feel the urge to buy one they saw here? I know I did. But, I then realized... I have a sht ton of alternative options that are equally lauded by others. The lesson? I dunno. Keep cool?
Are you referring to the SSL Native Bus Compressor 2? Very good bus compressor, indeed! SSL had previous versions of their bus compressor (going back to the Duende days), but the Bus Compressor 2 is SSL's best version to date (in my opinion). It even includes a selection of oversampling. 👍
it´s realy great, the compression is a little bit more on the smooth side, compared to the SSL stuff. The Creme RC is also great, because you can recall it digitaly, which nice.
I don’t necessarily disagree however, different styles of music require different treatments. I think for the first and 3rd tracks you don’t want the level of sheen that works so well for the 2nd and is definitely Marc’s style. That said… MDN is an absolute legend.
Do I have like 9 plugins on the mix bus? Absolutely. Do only 2 of them actually do something to the sound (ie - isn’t an analyzer or for specifically listening to a specific frequency range)? Yup
NOTE: This video would have been made a bit before MDN's P455 Sidecar (by Pulsar Modular) was released (2/2024). I +assume+ that that VST negates a lot of these recommendations.
@@synthzizer3324 if you want the pop and shimmer - turn them up it is that easy. and you don't need none of the fancy miracle plugins. it's what you learn with years of practice
I met you once, in London back in the day. Are you not bored of this. Sure, there aint enough money to spread in the arts, but this? Your a salesman promoting anything that will make you money, and your examples to project that are very poor. If your looking for the next big thing to work with, this will make that only a distant dream. I think your better than that.
Even though this video is about "mixbus": processing, the three engineers are not going thorough a mixbus but thorough master fader. It is my understanding that the difference between Mixbus and master fader is that mixbus inserts are pre fader and master fader the inserts are post fader. Also have read on the interweb somewhere the compressors should always be put on mixbus with pre fader sends so fader movements do not effect how hard the compressor is hit.
the Mixbus is the group channel for every subgroup and all the multitracks. the Master fader controlls the output. it makes more sense to route the mix through the mixbus, because often you have rafferance/guidetracks in your session, and you dont want to apply the same processing to your referances, you do to your mix.

The Glue sounds very very nice, must get that one. Thanks for some of your mixbus sauce share guys
The Cytomic The Glue plugin seems great, I downloaded the demo version! The T-RackS Classic Compressor also seems good, I will compare the two.
Feel very lucky, these professionals sharing their hard-won knowledge with us... thanks for the channel and the vids.
Thanks ever so much! Glad to be able to help!!
Wow! Taupe is stunning.Just gorgeous on this track.
It is always great to hear( and see ) Marc D’s take on things when it comes to mixing. Likewise his explanations which are really educational. A true gem, I must say.
That's a beautiful piece of music.
new fangled so good
Thank you for sharing your knowledge guys - very much appreciated. Merry Christmas from South Wales, UK!!
Our pleasure! Happy Christmas!

Marc always giving us Indiana music producers some encouragement...💯🔥
@Producelikeapro where can i find the Mixing Template of Marc Daniel Nelson?????
Inside of Produce Like A Pro Academy
Marc is the man! I’m always left wanting to buy the plugs he uses. Lol
ssl native buss compressor mk2 and the louder than liftoff silver bullet plugins is my go to these days. Rarely switch on my hardware since i put these two together on my mixbuss.
what's the name of the track that Mark is mixing? I would love to hear to that artist/song
it says 'only love is real' at the top of the screen, I guess thats the track, don't know the artist
Todd Kessler-Only Love Is Real
If you get his advanced mixing course, the multi-tracks for this song are included.

does that eq shift phase in a certain way that you like?
SSL has finally put out their own version of their comp, and i prefer that one. all their plugs are amazing for mastering!

@@ProsodySound yeah, that's the one i meant...SSL with oversampling, all we need now is a beer! 🍺🤓
Being as Ableton Glue Compressor is Cytomic's stab at the SSL Buss Compressor, is The Glue the same as Ableton's one?
yes... they are one and the same.
Wow, he's using that old old version of that IK Multimedia T-Rack's Commpressor. Back when they were using that dinosaur as a logo😅
They still make it! It’s ‘classic’ and it sounds awesome!
@@Producelikeapro "Vintage" :)
@@MoreMeRecordingvintage GUI!! Haha
I still want that thing. :)
Good stuff! Pretty sure Taupe is pronounced tope (as in the color).
All very subtle. If you blink..... if you imagine.... you hear a difference
Forgot about The Glue, I must try it again. Good compressor.
Hey guys, what do you think of the Tegeler Creme Hardware?
it´s realy great, the compression is a little bit more on the smooth side, compared to the SSL stuff. The Creme RC is also great, because you can recall it digitaly, which nice.
Hi Thomas,I use it on every mix . Rc version ,Not only on buss mix .that’s a very good gear.
SSL native BUS Comp 2 is the best in my opinion
Fantastic episode!
Tbh, compared to Marc’s mix the other two sound like demos 💯
I don’t necessarily disagree however, different styles of music require different treatments. I think for the first and 3rd tracks you don’t want the level of sheen that works so well for the 2nd and is definitely Marc’s style.
That said… MDN is an absolute legend.
Any of you all tried the P331 EVL? Seems right up this alley.
Do I have like 9 plugins on the mix bus? Absolutely.
Do only 2 of them actually do something to the sound (ie - isn’t an analyzer or for specifically listening to a specific frequency range)? Yup
MDN is a GOD!
Letss go one to watch tomorrow
Does anyone know the song name from Darrell's video?
The ProTools limiter at the end sounds distorted.
NOTE: This video would have been made a bit before MDN's P455 Sidecar (by Pulsar Modular) was released (2/2024). I +assume+ that that VST negates a lot of these recommendations.
Nice video guys. 😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
I want to learn your sound bro......
Ampex mm1200
I thought this was going to be about Harrison MixBus.
Interesting! They named their DAW after the MixBus! Haha
How strange is the fact that Phil Allen mixes with practically no low end? I wonder if he sends stems to mastering?
Is it me or do those drums in the first mix sound really dead, muddy, and totally lack any feel or emotion?
Nope… not only you)))
Yes correct. But that's what makes the overheads and guitars pop/shimmer. Hope you learned something..
@@synthzizer3324 if you want the pop and shimmer - turn them up it is that easy. and you don't need none of the fancy miracle plugins. it's what you learn with years of practice
@greganikin7003 are you taking the piss or did you just not read the comments in the correct sequence and words in chronological order?
Don’t think it’s you, but not every genre or clients wants super tight, punchy, drums. If his mixes are getting approved he’s doing something right.
Wow, some of those moves are pretty subtle. I can barely hear the difference half the time :/
yeah true, but have fun try out techniques like this by your own, and listen to how the feel and groove change.
@@DerSilvano this video is not about mastering!

Marc kinda favors Theo Von.
Whats the actual point of using all these old ass plugins when you sit on hardware worth 100’s of thousands ??? And it sounds really bad too!

Wut 😂
That's technically correct. Mixbus stands just as "the whole mix goes through this channel" I supose.
the Mixbus is the group channel for every subgroup and all the multitracks. the Master fader controlls the output. it makes more sense to route the mix through the mixbus, because often you have rafferance/guidetracks in your session, and you dont want to apply the same processing to your referances, you do to your mix.
