Our pleasure! Thanks for watching ! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled; and if you haven't already check out @mymixlab on UA-cam too for some of Luca's videos on it!
Does anyone know what hardware saturation 1 & 2 are based on? I have heard hg2 mentioned but sat 1 doesn’t really sound like it I feel. Sat 2 could be hg-2 pentode or bettermaker mastering limiter colour section set to odd.
hey nicholas love these videos, could you explain a bit more about why Luca leaves his sides clean and only distorts the middle? Doesn't that itself create phase issues, and could you recreate that by splitting the signal into LCR and only distorting the mono channel, or is there something specific that this plugin is doing. Also, when Luca talks about having a 'high kick' layer by distorting 6k-9k is he talking about just distorting the signal in parallel with the OG signal or is there something I'm not catching. thanks!
I agree that the interview itself kinda all over the place, but I'm already familiar with Luca style, I think I watched 100+ hours of his videos teaching stuff. So everything easily make sense and surprisingly I still learn new thing from him from this one. The GOAT of electronic music mixer.
What are you talking about, this is a hyper engine algo plugin. It's very light on CPU until you engage high oversampling rates. Sounds like you need to upgrade your computer.
The UI designer who designed this plugin is a child. You do not understand users or effective interfaces for the user. Many plugin developers do this. Maybe it looks cool, but the human brain does not process vertical bilateral symmetry in the way this designer, and many others, have implemented. To use this one device the user must learn two different knob layouts for the same functions. The user will likely have to relearn this every time they use this plugin, as when they work the left side, they have to learn that knob layout, then when they work on the right, the knob functions are reversed, so they have to learn a different layout. The sum of this process leads the brain to a constant low level of confusion due to the inconsistency in the layout of knob functions between the left and right sides of this plugin. This will engender a negative association with the plugin, and no matter how good the processing is or sounds, the user will be impacted by an unconscious or partially or fully conscious negative association with the plugin. This plugin, in this form, will not last in the market. Producers/mix engineers will eventually gravitate to a UI that is properly designed, even if the sound is inferior. No shade, I don't know this presenter, this channel, the companies involved, the plugin, etc. I just know some rudiments of effective UI design from professional experience in the audio processing software market, and as an avid user of a wide diversity of music making hard and software for 30+ years.
I get where you're coming from; ultimately, the friction of learning a new plugin with UI that isn't straight forward even for me can be a bit of a hurdle, the particular tool, I've taken that challenge to learn, and it's definitely worth it!
This is absolute gold. Thank you, Nicholas, for putting this together!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
This is a great video. Thanks Nicholas
This is a whole class, thanks for everything happy to see two persons who love mixing work together!!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching ! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled; and if you haven't already check out @mymixlab on UA-cam too for some of Luca's videos on it!
Luca is such an amazing person, good stories good times!! if you guys are in Las Vegas definitely book some time in his studio.
Yes; I definitely will!
Luca is the 🐐of electronic music, as CLA for rock music
He's very good at what he does; I have learnt a lot from his approach to mixing drums!
He is good but all his masters distort so waste of skills bit
@@georginikolov1141 that's what his clients and/or label wants
maaan this channel is going to the moon!
Thanks mate!
11:30 what does he mean by steps? dynamic sections?
This was amazing, am late to the party but not late for saturation. Boom!!
So many gems in this interview! 🙏
Yes! Luca was a great hang and chat!

Excellent interview man! I wouldn’t worry about the naysayers, it flowed smoothly to me!
Thanks man, muchly appreciated
Oh yeah! This is pretty exciting.
Yeap ! Great tips and tricks there-in!
pfff this was golden, thanks!
No worries; my pleasure!
Great interview!
Thank you!
Luca!?? Wow 🤩 You rock!
YOU ROCK!
Thank you!
my pleasure!
Thanks, great video.
Glad you liked it! Hoping to do more throughout 2023!

Muchly noted! I'll definitely take some lessons from this interview for future ones!
6:40 can't eq what isn't there xD
Is Luca a Studio One guy???
HE IS!
@@panorama_mastering sweet. I switched to it from logic acouple years back and I've been loving it. Good to know it's catching on with the big boys.
50% cpu with no tracks?! Come on Acustica Audio! I demoed it too, unusable!
What CPU do you have? I have an i7 iMac from 2014 and it runs completely fine;

Saturation....
Tube saturation ?
Tape head Saturation ?
Transformer saturation ?
They're all different, you know....

This was sadly all over the place, gave up after 10 mins, soz.

Sorry to dissapoint. How could have this been tightened up? Always happy to take on feedback for future videos.

@@jonnyoh4731😂
wasn't you, just felt it didn't flow well and not structured, will watch again without the red wine.
I'm Curious, What did he win Grammys for?
My bullshit meter detector just broke, bullshit overprocessing techniques for bullshit music.
