    In this video, I share my top 5 Desert Island Mixing Plugins. If I had to mix a song using only 5 plugins, these would be my go-to choices. From EQs to compressors, I'll explain why these plugins would be my top choice if I was stuck on an island with only 5 plugins to mix with. If you're looking to simplify your plugin collection or just want to know what I would use in a pinch, this video is for you. Tune in to find out which plugins make the cut.

    Hi Chris!
    It's always a great pleasure to watch your videos.
    Very good choices here.
    If you accept me on your island, I will also put in my suitcase:
    - ReaComp (Cockos): a compressor with which you can do almost anything
    - VCS-1 Channel Strip (Fuse Audio Labs): because it's pretty, but above all because this channel strip sounds great
    - Vintage Verb (Vahlalla): all the reverbs in a single plugin, with a retro touch
    - Replika (Native Instrument): classic delay, but with saturation and modulation effects
    - Satin (U-he): the best tape on the market, nothing more, nothing less
    And since you chose the Omni Channel and the Pro Q3, which I also use all the time, well... I'll ask you to lend them to me on your island, ok ? 😂
    Thanks again Chris. Tshuss!

    Echo Boy as a saturator only.... I've had it for a few years now and NEVER thought of using it like that. Brilliant!
    Can't give you my top five yet, but it's a great challenge... and encourages discipline!
    Thanks, bro!

    Hey Chris, my first comment here on your channel, although I keep watching you on a regular basis. I've only been really into mixing for the last few years, but here would be my choice:
    Fabfilter Pro-Q 3
    Fabfilter Saturn 2
    Slate Virtual Mix Rack
    Soundtoys Effect Rack
    LiquidSonics VerbSuite Classics with the Bricasti M7 library
    Thanks for all your content! :)

    3. IK Multimedia Sunset Sound Reverb
    4. Soundtoys Echoboy
    5. Acustica Audio Taupe or Waves Kramer Master Tape
    sorry I love the Tape specifically the Ampex. Really wanting that new Warm Audio 351 MPX unit🤘

    My five:
    Brainworx SSL 4000G
    Waves R-Bass
    Fab Filter Pro-L2
    Celemony Melodyne
    Waves MV2
    I would use stock reverbs, delays, and amp sims if I had to. But all of these do something I can't get with stock plugins. Melodyne and L2 are especially important to me because I find Logic's built-in limiters and pitch correction software to be pretty bad.

    Never realized Echoboy could be used as a saturator. Can’t wait to try it.

  • @kickmusicmikeyjones9788
    @kickmusicmikeyjones9788 Рік тому

    🦧
    1. Waves CLA SSL Channel Strip (has saturated "bite" when using the mic line to drive the eq + compression - good noise gate too);
    2. Waves Puigtech Eq (great top end that provides saturation);
    3. Waves L2 limiter;
    4. Overloud VST for guitar and bass;
    5. Waves CLA Epic for delays+reverbs.
    Other recommended: Just started using TAPEFACE by KIIVE (Plugin Alliance) - very good tape saturation.

    3. Echoboy as well (sick saturation hack!!)
    4. Waves H-Reverb
    5. Analog Obsession Comper

    I think I'd probably use my Pulsar Massive and Mu as EQ and compression, then my Melda multiband delay, reverb, and saturation plug-ins.
    I don't yet have Soundtoys, but they're on the wish list, after I get a decent orchestral strings and piano instrument plug-in.
    I'm hoping there's some great coffee on the desert island.

    Great choices. Several years ago I read an article where Peter Gabriel's house engineer at the famed Real World Studios said he and Peter like putting an instance of Echoboy on every channel, first in the chain, just for saturation, including PG's vocals. Been using it since then, although many times Kazrog True Iron does some wonderful console saturation.

      Limiting plugins like this are generally considered to be mastering plugins, though they are of course used on individual tracks. Since he is mixing and not mastering that waves plugin wil be on an adjoining island, in a pal tree mastering hut.

      @Skrypture I disagree! If anything, it's a smart choice : having many features into one plugin is a smart move, if you ask me! Same logic applies with Echoboy : is it missing the point of 5 plugins if Echoboy can also serve as a saturator? 🤔
