FabFilter Saturn DRUM Mixing Trick You NEED To Try!

- This incredibly cool trick I stole from Eric Valentine uses the saturation in Fabfilter Saturn 2 in an interesting way, resulting in drums that sound more forward, thicker, less muddy, and brighter while at the same time smoother and less harsh!

I learned this technique from Nolly. Good to see it works great.
Oh nice! Nolly is the man!
This is a killer video. Thanks so much!
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
My inner voice: "...don't buy more plugins...don't buy more plugins...don't buy more plugins..."
Better Mixes: "Check out this dope plugin!"
My inner voice: "........."
My wallet: "Here we go again..."
My wife: "Stop watching Mike's videos!"
Dope song btw!
Hahaha I know...that was literally me with this exact plugin when I discovered this trick.
"I've already got a hundred saturation plugins; I don't need another"
*sees cool trick using Saturn*
"well...just demoing it can't hurt..."
*after demoing* "dammit, I guess I'm going to own a hundred and one saturation plugins!"
Songs for the Deaf.
Ooooh yeah! Such killer drum sounds on that album!
SANRES folder lol
Hahaha woops!
Thanks for this video! Have seen Eric and a lot of others use Saturn with great results, but never managed to get my head around how to use it myself. As good as it sounds, it is just not very intuitive to me. Your video finally did it for me. Thanks a lot! Liked and subscribed, keep up the good work ;-)
Yeah, I owned Saturn for a long time before I started actually using it. Like you said, it just wasn't super intuitive and had a lot going on. I didn't know where to start! But once I "got it", I couldn't stop using it! It's such a great tool. I'm glad you liked the video!
My favorite Eric Valentine record is probably Queens of the Stone Age. The Grace Potter record he just put out is mind-blowing though. He just did a mix breakdown of one of the songs. Highly recommend.
I love that QOTSA album! The drum sounds are insane. I'll definitely have to check out the Grace Potter breakdown video though! I missed that one somehow!
@@BetterMixes it's in the Live tab on his channel. Only video there.
Great Eric Valentine method.
I'm glad you dig it! Thanks for watching!
Great trick for samples but would love an example on a real kit? This would just explode cymbals and make this extremely harsh
It actually works great on live drums too! I should have used live drums for this video, but I just happened to be working on a bunch of MIDI drum sessions at the time and grabbed one of those.
Obviously you can't always crank it quite as far on live drums as you have to deal with cymbals, but you can usually still go pretty far, especially if you reduce the dynamics knob a bit on the upper band to cut back on the cymbal bleed.
Saturn especially on toms is awesome!
Yeah, it's incredible how much it adds to them! And Saturn is just sooo versatile, it's such a great tool!
Hey man! I just discovered you today. Thank you so much you are so awesome and straight to the point. Great for pros who want quick knowledge bombs without hand holding.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked the video!
Hey Mike! When mixing, would you start with Saturn before adding EQ's?
Hey Petter! If the track needs a lot of EQ, I'll do most of the heavy lifting before using Saturn, but if it's close and only needs a little EQing, then I'll usually use Saturn first since using it this way brightens things up.
wait wtf? that's what the dynamics knob do? omg this is game changer
Haha I honestly don't know exactly what it's doing/how it's doing it so well, but it legitimately is one of the best gate plugins out there (and DEFINITELY the easiest to use being a single knob). Cranking it the other way (into compression) can be a lot of fun on certain tracks too. It's got a really unique sound to it!
Should we use it on linear phase mode on drum bus or not?
I wouldn't bother with linear phase on a drum bus (unless you have multiple parallel busses and only want Saturn on one. Then it might be worth trying).
Damn that guitar tone at the end! Damn thats really a killer tone
Thanks! I THINK that was my Mesa Single Rectifier into a V30 in a Vox 412 cab.
what this Drum Sample? I love it Tone 💕🙏🏻
I'm glad you like it! It's the Bonsai Snare which is free at bettermixes.com
Thank you
@@Arttaporn2 No problem!
dude awesome trick, thanks so much!
and btw you look like leon kennedy from re 2 remake
No problem, I'm glad you liked it!
And I had to look up what leon kennedy looks like, and hey, I'll take it!
Nice one 🙂
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it!
before sounds better than after
Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man. (Big Lebowski reference)
But in all seriousness, if you have Saturn (or feel like demoing it), give this a try but maybe dialed back a little bit. I pushed this example fairly hard to make the difference more obvious, but it can be used more subtly too. Or, these drum samples are already fairly processed, so maybe you'd still like this technique on less processed drums or live drums. OR, maybe this trick just isn't for you which is obviously totally fine as well!
@@BetterMixes
I'm just kidding. For me there is only before and after. I can’t say that any of the options is better
Your videos are just GREAT, and your drum samples are unbelivable too (and Im getting free updates and expansion kits all the time). Thank you so much!
Thanks so much, Antonio! I'm really glad you're enjoying the samples! And the videos!
All you are hearing is alliasing distortions. Maybe it sounds good with you but for me it's distorted alot 😅😅😅
Yeah, I mean it's a distortion plugin, so distortion is exactly what I'd expect to hear from it. You can use it much more subtly (as I often would, I went a little on the heavy side to make it more obvious for the video), but if you just don't like the sound of saturation on drums, this probably isn't the technique for you.
There's no "aliasing." You're using that word because you think it makes you sound smart. It's literally a distortion plugin, so it's going to sound distorted. But that's not the same thing as aliasing (which is far more subtle, btw).
@@rome8180 let the mean read audio forums lmao
