    Great tips. Mind blown with how much difference invert phase makes 🤯. Thanks for your insight. Really helped my recorded drums sound more full.

      Thanks mate! It’s crazy how important phase is. One of the single most important things to understand when mixing drums!

    So glad to see it’s not just me having issues with phase with tube eq in logic! So annoying

    • @spinlightstudios
      @spinlightstudios  6 місяців тому

      Yeah it’s a bit weird, normally I’d expect phase issue maybe if using high pass and low pass filters but this EQ just goes out of phase 😂

    Dynamic eq for OH symbol crash. I like this method cause it only attenuates when frequency gets to loud. A static cut can make it sound dull to me. Great vid!

    Logic has a sample replacement function too. So you could have even skipped Trigger.

    • @spinlightstudios
      @spinlightstudios  6 місяців тому

      Yeah I know, but only if I wanted to load one shots or use stock midi samples in logic … which I don’t really like. but I’ve done a video ages ago about the logic drum replacement tool - it’s definitely cool - trigger is 100% better

    Were the drum tracks stretched at all? In isolation some of the ghost notes on the snare sound stretchy. But in the mix it all sounds bloody great!

    • @spinlightstudios
      @spinlightstudios  6 місяців тому +1

      Probably just cut up and quantized - probably the overtones when solo’d wobble a little from being sliced and stitched back together - this track is from 2013 so I was probably still manually slicing and cross fading everything back then lol

    Logic question: when you’re automating at about 30:00 minutes and you’re lowering the volume, it seems like you level match the volume in one click with equally loud sections earlier. Don’t know that trick. How do you do that?

  • @caprising4445
    @caprising4445 6 місяців тому

    I do think the logic 'vintage' style eqs can be more phasy than others; I almost always reach for other eqs before those; the API graphic one can be very harsh when doing additive stuff... great vid

    Hi, regarding phase alignement, would you consider to do it with the room mics as well, or it is useless because it looses the 3D space feeling?

    • @spinlightstudios
      @spinlightstudios  6 місяців тому +1

      I find it looses the depth! Usually just try phase inverting and see what sounds best for rooms!

      I’ve tried auto align, I thought manually moving them around got a better result. Definitely worth trying out though, some people love them.
