Make sure you put an affiliate link with the plugins you use on the videos down in the description. I'm pretty sure most of the people watching would be interested in them as we all see them being correctly utilized by you. Though some are free, if somebody buys the paid ones you also get a little commission. Thanks for the awesome vids.
Wow! Loving your videos! You present the info in such a concise and precise way it shows you really know what your talking about. I only subscribed a few weeks back but I've learned so much from your channel and I've watched a lot of mixing tips previously.. please keep up the great work your doing! And Thank you 🙏🕊️
Excellent as with all of your videos I've seen so far! One point, I have the free version of TDR Nova and it does do expansion if you keep turning the Ratio setting down past 1:1. (Not sure if they've changed it in a more recent version as I downloaded it a few years back).
can not express how much I'm grateful for your knowledge sharing. How long have you been using Studio One? I have it since version 1 which is 12 years or so. But I'm only a musician who records sometimes.
Great lesson, I'm really enjoying your videos. They are very easy to understand and so practical, I wonder if you could touch on side chaining and what ways to utilise it, most videos I see explain the usual kick and bass relationship but their must be more applications other than this electro music combination. Looking forward to your next one thanks again.
Great material and explanation as always! So if I feel, say, a snare should be poking through a little more, will reaching for an upward expander or a transient shaper be essentially reaching for the same thing and accomplishing the same result? Is there a time where you'd reach for one over the other? Many thanks in advance.
The transient shaper is more targeted on the attack of a sound, whereas the upwards expansion is more like a momentary dynamic boost to the affected FQ range that you set. So the effect is similar but not the same. That's oversimplifying it but it would be a long technical explanation. I suggest trying both and seeing what sounds better in your mix. That said, if the transient shaper does the job then run with it. The upwards expansion has more potential to interfere with other sounds in that FQ area. Hope that helps!
hello @AudioMountain777, sorry to bother you again. I've come across this controversial topic TopDown vs. BottomUp mixing. Various engineers seem to provide good reasons for or against both. What is your take on that topic? And maybe a second question, would you put any plugins on the final mix bus or leave that completely to the mastering engineer?
I don't really have an opinion that's worth much on top down mixing because I mix bottom up and keep the ideal finished mix in mind as my goal, but for me it's a pretty fluid process and not overly systematic. As for the mix bus I think it's ideal to leave it empty of compression, limiting, and EQ if you plan on sending it off for mastering, but that also really depends on the material. So I don't have strong opinions on either topic, but at the end of the day it's whatever methods give you the best results, and every mix engineer has their own style. Hope that helps. Thanks for the questions!
Superb !.Tutorial..👍✌

I'm new to Studio One- still learning it, but I'm liking it. Glad you're enjoying the videos. Thank you!

I will definitely be doing more side chaining videos soon. I'm a big fan of side chaining EQs.
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
These videos are fantastic and I love the fact that you are using Studio One. Keep em coming 👍 😊
Thanks, will do!
