This bass bus compression trick is gold! I've been using this technique, works really great! Drum Bus compression is cool, but Hi Hats can be a nightmare.
i have the joel wanasek bus glue collection and its amazing. But i will probably be getting the JST BG series as well. i want to have a variety to do a variety of things. imo joels series is best suited for more aggressive styles but it looks like JST BG might be more versatile. i think both have their place. joels bass bus glue is probably the best in my opinion but from demos ive heard i like what the JST BG Drums does as well. And depending on the mix i might choose some things for Joels and others i might choose the JST BG Mix bus compressor.
haha i was litteraly listening to your course already searching for your synth expertise,that would be awesome. Im trying to merge cellos and synths and i find it so hard to mix. Meanwhile thank you so much for your work i just discovered you, its the next level cheers from paris!!!!
I want to see Miami cover a video on multi and compression in good detail for a mix bus or mastering. I’m finding it holds my mix together perfectly where I want it, but also find it way easy to overdo
my favorite part of that joke was at the end after the explanation for the joke "and then you somehow gotta think all of thats funny" That stuff had me dyin
Synth bus compression video would be nice, my main question would be, when you have ambient / backing track synths and lead synths would you work them in distinct busses or all on the same bus. Also, if you have a choir acting as a backround layer would that also go into the vocal bus?
It still makes my head sore understanding how something can sound louder than something else when it isn't (demonstrated in the bass bus limiting part)... Like how is that possible and what is going on in our ears to cause this? Physics be wild, mang.
There's 3 main reasons! If you imagine a bass guitar, it has lots of fundamental frequencies in it (the "note" that the string makes) and lots of overtones (all the frequencies above that make the bass guitar sound like a bass and not a sine wave) when you maximise a signal you allow these overtones to come up and give the illusion of loudness. Secondly imagine a your bass guitar is very dynamic even in one note the start of it is much louder than the end of the note, when you maximise it you allow the whole note to be pinned at a consistent level which will make your ears perceive it as louder. Thirdly saturation generates and enhances existing harmonics in the signal that tell your brain that something appears to be louder. A fun way to visualise all this is to open up a bass track and low pass filter it until its just a sine wave and play around with the settings on saturations, distortions, compression, limiters and maximisers so you can see and hear what is happening to the signal. Then when you fo those things on a full signal you will have more of an idea of what you're adding and taking away from each part of the signal 😊 I realise now that might not be fun for most people but it's still a cool learning exercise!
I want to hear this song so bad. I have been hearing snippets for a while now. The 5 frequencies video was the first time i heard it but dont know the name of it. When is the release?
Out of curiosity, when you mention that the individual vocal tracks have compression on them do you mean on the way in or on the inserts or both? I'm always confused about that and never know if I should apply compression to individual vocal tracks and then apply vocal bus compression or if I should only compress on the vocal bus. Thanks
Man I've been waiting for this episode to come out to help me with bus glue for the jw guitar bus glue but you had it set at 0 for both parameters I'm still at a loss for it setting it up as every time it sounds like poop on my mixes. Chug slayer is great for that multiband compression but man I can't get it to sit well overall :/ any tips would greatly be appreciated.
I love how you use BG guitar on bass bus, I don't use JW bass on bass bus much because it's more like one plugin for all from bass DI. When I have amped bass track I never though JW guitar can use on it. Thank you!
I like how you snuck in maximizer before we've got our filthy mits on it
YES! I always felt like my mixes were a bit stale, Miami always bringing quality content :D
Hope this helps out, and thank you!

Can’t wait to use this in my mixes!

Use a Multiband Compressor to treat the Highs differently 👍👍👌
Another AWESOME video - GREAT info, thanks!!

Show up for Miami , stay for the tips ! 🤘🏻🔥
ALL the synths! Some people say not to because of the sinewaves.
Nice info, are u located here in Miami? Good to know !!!!
Kool info!
Dad joke game is strong.
Errday

Your puns are fire 😅😅
I'm interested in your take on synth buss compression!
It still makes my head sore understanding how something can sound louder than something else when it isn't (demonstrated in the bass bus limiting part)... Like how is that possible and what is going on in our ears to cause this? Physics be wild, mang.
It’s honestly mind blowing lol

Gracias por tantoo!! =D
Hey, Miami! How about multiband compression techniques for the busses and the master? Always loved your content
I'm on it!
-Miami
This series is so good and helpful. Thanks a lot Miami.
Btw, what's the song in this video?
Its called Rise or Fall (How things used to be) by my old band, the words we use!
-Miami

What's the name of the song in the vocal bus example? I know I've heard it somewhere. Also really great video 🤘
It’s called how things used to be by my old band the words we use
-Miami
@@joeymusic Word, is there anywhere I can listen to it? It sounds like it slaps

What’s that song in guitar/vocal compression section?
My shouldeeer // when we got oldeeer
Fxck !! This Vocals Sounds Amazing !!!

The secret comes in how you set the input levels. You can always reach out to our support for help!
Damn. Herr I thought I was gonna learn how to glue all the parts of my cement truck together.
Was your de-essing joke breakdown a subtle nod to Anthony Jeselnik?
Yessssss

Wasn't the new plugin supposed to release 10/10?
It’s on the way

The date we teased was a tease for a tease. Sorry for the tease.
Those drum sounds though
They slam!

Well, if you don't know what you're doing, the glue can turn it all to SLIME !!! lol

why bass needs two s-es tho...
Make it make sense!

Mix Gus.. Bus compression
2:52 Bitch Lasagna, Bitch Lasagna
production value leveling down on this video
How so? Let us know in detail. Thank you for your feedback.
😂😂
Imma need a limiter cause this video is overlaoding with audio jokes
diversity
I just had to unsub and sub again, that's how crazy your transition-game has become.
Appreciate the love! As long as you sub again lmao

You speak so much bro, not very productive way to learn so.
