Which is your favorite? Did I miss yours?
I got the One Knob Reverb for free and I think it sounds great, especially on vocals.
Hi Sanjay C! I recorded a Song Using Presonus Studio. Its a real masterpiece but I'm scared the mixing and mastering is imperfect & I really needed your help I can send you the file . I hope you see this. Thank You
CLA vocals. 😳 But... Mike Dean said.... 😂🤣 Great video man!
CLA vocals is my favorite
@@jannisbmrt I haven't tried the One Knob series. I'll have to check it out. How did you get it for free?
Congrats on being the face of KOMPLETE 13 Brother!! Keep it up!
Thanks so much, ronald!
Mike Dean gonna have a stroke when he sees cla vocals
LMAO
@@rajanschroeder5981 CLA VOOOCAAALS
😂
In a good way or bad way?
@@soccerman127 in a bad way
Thank you Sanjay, this is the first plugins list that I see that actually showed me plugins I like/need. Keep it going!
So happy to hear that. Which ones did you find most useful?
@@SanjayC I got the CLA Series, J37, SSL Master Bus, Abbey Roads Vinyl and looking forward for the NS1. So about half of your list XD CLA 2A looking sexy too.
Amazing as always man!!
I've been meaning to get the J37 and Torque for a while now, they sound really good
Torque really surprised me. Its now my go-to drum tuner!
I'm also a big fan of the CLA-76 and Renaissance Bass plug-ins! I love the texture of the blue series compressor for CLA-76 especially, and Renaissance Bass I've found super helpful for creating really full bass tracks. Great video as always!!
Thanks, Rishi! Good recommendations
Notification squaaaddd. Also 200k!! So happy for you
Hey Varun! 😀 Thank you!🙏🏽
A great countdown video. Thanks SanjayC! Congrats on reaching 200K subs! 🥳🎉🎊🍾🤩🎈
Thanks so much!
Immmmmmmm.......now this song is stuck in my head. Thank you very much!!!! Keep up the excellent work.
lol! That's a good thing for me!
I really like the SSL channel strips. I like having everything in one plugin, which Waves has tons of great one-stop shop type plugins.
agreed. i use the e channel on EVERYTHING for tonal EQ, it is fantastic. sounds so smooth on everything
Thanks for sharing your top 10 WAVES plugins, Sanjay! Well explained and very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I always appreciate some vocal tips! CLA may be the generalized plugin I’m needing. Thanks!
Its just such an excellent vocal processor. So quick and easy
SSL bus comp was not compressing anything, while the make up gain was turned up by a couple of dB. It is known that any louder signal is perceived as more excited
Right! How is everyone missing that? 😅
That was unexpected but I am glad you posted 3 videos (including the Komplete 13 video) too🔥. That Torque is really awesome ngl. I was looking for a plugin that could show me if my drum percussions are tuned or not
You still need to use your ear a bit with Torque...but its so much nicer sounding.
Brauer Motion is one of my favorites for sure!! I like HComp and Kaleidoscope very much, RVox and RBass are highly regarded and for good reason, but one of my favorites that I don't see talked about a lot is Triple D. It's really good at ridding vocals of harshness and muddiness
I have Kaleidoscope but I can't get into it yet. I'm going to check out Triple D
Just a suggestion.....it’s hard for listeners to tell a difference in A/B comparisons if you talk between the 2, or pause for any reason. It also helps a ton to A/B back and forth at least 3 times.
Good feedback...thanks!
agreed , hard to A/B , i’d like to see this video again with that implemented i’m sure many would flock back to watch … wink wink (more views)
Make sure to stream the video in its highest available quality resolution , lower resolution audio is compressed and it's very hard to listen to the differences
Finally! I’ve been looking for this exact video!
Which is your favorite one?
Sanjay C I don’t know yet, I just got the platinum bundle. But when you subscribe to the monthly payment plan they give you 5 more plugins for $7.99 a month. When picking those 5 I almost got the CLA vocals and I wish I had now.
Do you use Renaissance Vox? Its just magic
Sanjay C I just got it yesterday! I’ve been most excited about it! I’ve heard a few youtubers say it’s amazing!
@@CRASS2047 check out my comment above, you might find it useful!! It really is a great video!
#notifcationsquad here. I started with CLA and fell in love with waves bundle . Killer video again. Have an amazing Sunday Sanjay.
Thanks, Maslin! You too...hey any other Waves plugins you recommend?
@@SanjayC there is a mic room plugin that emulates different mics, I use it often if I get annoyed with using same vocal processing.
That's a nice idea. Man...you need the Slate VMS
@@SanjayC will check. It out sanjay.
How is this rated so well... this man didnt even gainstage the SSL
You can also do roughly the same job with any compressor, but I did notice it was louder.
@@ags911 Yeah idk i like the guys personality but this video is a little misleading if you take a deeper look!
@@ags911 the reason it was louder is because the make up gain was past 0. Essentially just added volume to the signal via the make up gain knob.
This is great man - THANKS!!
Congrats dudeee you reached 200k subscribers 🎉🎊👍
Thanks! 😃I feel so blessed
Amazing man always,long time bro and congrats for being in partnership with complete 13,one day I will try j37
Thanks, Felix, my buddy!
Hi! Thank you for the nice and useful videos. However, were you actually compressing the audio when using the SSL? Because ir seems like the signal wasn’t really reaching the threshold.
Great!! Thank’s I already have them and I agree with your choices!🎶💥
Thanks man . I just got Waves Torque , great recommendation . wow !
No problem 👍
Thanks for the video. Timestramps were quite useful
Very good video thx for sharing!!
Dude you're amazing ! 🤘 Thanks for the timestamps 🙏
You're welcome! :-D
Dude thanks for this! The Waves catalog is so expansive that it's very helpful to hear which ones you actually use o/\o
Yes, I agree. And its hard to tell which is good and which one just isn't for you. So thought I'd make this video
If you think Waves is expensive shop the UAD plugins. After you get over the sticker shock of the 1000+ dollar interface that's required. Waves is known for being affordable
@@ikigai47 'expansive', not expensive
This was so intuitive
Thank you so much great video very clear and helpful. Your music sounds good too.
Thank you, Charles. I really appreciate that
whaaaaaa 200k!! I came back after some time and I am happy about the channel's progress!!!!!!
Yes, I'm so grateful!
*WAVES PLUGINS are Rich* , Premium ,Heavy, expensive, etc
.
.
They make LEGENDARY PRODUCTS
Yes for sure. So many top producers use them
Hey big bro
Thanks for the vid
And nice beat Btw
Thank you! I value your opinion and advice!
Nice vid Sanjay! Can u also make a video on those BEAUTIFUL outboard gears you got on your desk?
Sure. I have this video showing it all ua-cam.com/video/_dlmNwF7nqo/v-deo.html
Very Nice Review!
Congrats on 200,000 subs man!
Thank you so much 😀
@@SanjayC
Great video !! Love those Strings ❤
Strings are from Native Instruments Session Strings 2! Killer instrument
Their distortion plug-ins are nice especially with the multimod.
I was watching this video, I think I was at the part where you were talking about Brauer Motion, and I was messaging my friend on Facebook at the same time (I'm an engineer and he's a producer) and I messaged him and said "Don't sleep on soundtoys though, Echoboy has a bit of a learning curve over the simplicity of H-Delay, but Echoboy sounds amazing!" then I closed facebook to finish watching this and when I got to 11:33 in the video I just about jumped out of my chair like "HA!!! WHAT'D I JUST SAY!"
ma man comin in clutch
Thanks, Jason!
Waves plugins are really amazing. The only thing with some of them (like Vitamin), is that you don't really know what's going on. And that's why sometimes you can hurt your mix with it. But compressors are wonderfuls.
Please Help, Sanjay. ¿How you record the internal audio of your screen to do this videos? I would appreciate it so much your answer.
yea, i live the waves plugins 🥰
Best studio teacher...❤️☺️
Thanks! What are you working on today? 😀
Thank u❤️
Sir...
Exactly I am a student..😅☺️☺️
I L🌊VE your wave and your tricks!✨😉
Haha...thanks baby!
The SSL didnt even start to compress lmao
Exactly. What he was actually hearing was the +2 “make up “ db. I’m starting to master vocals rn but bro should’ve noticed that.
Bruh 🤣
Salutations Sanjay! I really like this song your singing in this video. Where can I get it?
One thing you might wanna check out is the NLS, very few people know how to use it but it sounds great to my ear
You know what? I have NLS and I've used it several times but I just can't hear the difference. Its not doing enough for me. How do you use it?
For 3D motions a plugin that's also great (and only 40$) is Auburn Sounds Panagement + it's got great reverb and delay.
If you're looking for saturation Auburn's Couture is also amazing, I use it in every project!
can’t take your word for it since you have no content showing these examples
Any chance this song is available somewhere for streaming or download? Really enjoyed it. I think you used it in your Crystaline review too! 👌
Thank you brother
Live your videos
Thank you!
Is it necessary buying the rvox and the cla compressor? Any big differences?
Brauer Motion is freaking insane
Yes I love it. Is this the first time you've seen it?
I heard about it from a French rapper named "Ademo" from the "PNL" group some time ago, what a great discovery
i like your strings sound. what are you using?
Another video well done! Notification squad!!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you! Which one was your favorite?
Torque. Because i’ve never seen A plugin like this from others. Other companies make compressors and auto pans but not drum tuners!
Yeah, it really blew me away with the quality
Also Rbass. Its great for low end enhancement for an 808 or kick
Brauer motion was my favourite 🔥
Yeah, its really cool...and useful!
This is the one thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You're welcome
Also very organized
Thanks bro i am waiting for this review
Lot love from India keep inspiring
Glad I could help with this video!
@@SanjayC ❤
Outstanding and informative video, Sanjay, as always. Quick question: what's the hardware on the right-hand side of your desk at 4:41/12:19? Also, have you posted any videos on saturator plugins?
Thanks!. That's the Moog Sirin synth. Its a fun little synth. I haven't posted saturator plugin reviews. If I had to choose one, I like Sausage fattener. But also the Soundtoys Decapitator which is not just a saturator, but does some amazing stuff....especially for drums.
@@SanjayC Thanks for your response, Sanjay.
Is the R vox better as an all-in-one compressor or the CLA 76 as a dynamic compressor in combination with the CLA 2a as a tonal compressor? Which variant sounds better? And when do you use which plugin? Would you combine the rvox with another plugin? I want to make pop and hip hop music, but sometimes something more aggressive.
You can use another compressor for color and smoothing if if the rvox is too aggressive. Or just dial it back and match the volume.
Hey Sanjay, I was just looking for plugins so this video is exactly what I needed! Can I ask you what Waves bundle to get for begginers? And also, would you recommend these plugins over Universal Audio (Having to buy the interface) Thank you for your work!
That's an excellent question: UAD vs Waves. Honestly, if you are not in the market for an audio interface, then don't worry so much about UAD plugins. You can get just as good results with Waves. If you want to buy a new upgraded interface, i highly recommend UAD and then you can buy some UAD plugins to go with it - but its not necessary. For beginners, it depends on what you want to do. I find that Waves makes excellent plugins for vocals and also for mixing. So those are the ones I featured in this video. If you are a total beginner, I suggest getting the CLA Signature Series (waves.alzt.net/Q1qXo). Its immediately easy to use and easy to get excellent results. Even when you're an expert, you'll continue to use them. And it covers vocals, guitar, bass, mixing, and more. That's my #1 choice for you for a bundle.
@@SanjayC well, at least there's a way to "try before you buy" with Waves. They really have great plugins. Some of them are a bit outdated, but they have pleeeenty. to choose from. Agree with the CLA bundle. As I said on my comment, they work better if you work a little your signal with EQ cleaning and dynamics control, before the CLA of your choice. That's when they really shine!
0:32 WOOOOOOOOH
Hey Sanjay, I see you are a fan of the SSL sound. Me too! So I did some research and landed upon the SSL Native plugins. Plugins made by SSL themselves! And they are available on a subscription model!!! 5$ a month for the channel strip and bus compressor. 15$ a month for their entire collection. I love them!!!
Oh wow! I never knew that they make their own plugins! I have to check them out now
@@SanjayC you will not regret it. The high end boost on the channel strip sounds just so damn good
While CLA plugs are great as a "one plug fits all", it is not enough for surgical work. You would need serious editing and proper eq- ing prior to turning it on. Second, I rarely use more than two parameters, i like the compressor and it works on other stuff too, not vocals only. However, you did mention the most important plug series - Ren. series. When i first tried renaissance compressor and eq, i was blown away (looong time ago). But then R vox- that is true magic. Yes it compresses, but algorithm is also doing something else. It feels as if it has a dynamic eq that glues your vocal perfectly to the mix. It also has a gate feature, that is amazing for all of us who started recording in a non-acoustically treated rooms, something like implemented NS1 already. I tried it on male, female, vocals, across all genres from singing to screaming, voiceovers and and it always delivers. For instance, for move voice overs, you would usually go for Nectar by Izotope, but this can also produce same result on dynamics and carving in its space. An old plug, and Waves are maybe not the quality of UA, but Renaissance series, that is long lasting master piece of a plugin. A mate of mine tried replicating it (he does a lots of plugin programming), got close on compression, but could not figure out this "sit in the mix" instant recipe.
I would also say Torque is great tool for live drums. Also for samples. But do not assume (not you S, others) that you MUST tune your samples. Yes, its sounds better. But certain genres are base on detuned drums that do not play even close to the harmony.
As for SSL master bus, I used the real one on multiple occasions - unlike the plug , real one is actually very very sensitive, with ratio 4 you can squash the mix already. it is worth having this plug on buss with the gentle settings only to give it a bit of a glue. And BTW, first time I was running tracks through SSL i was expecting... I don't even know what I was expecting, after having built in my head idea of this pristine, amazing, top of the line thing that will turn garbage into great sound... actually it was totally different, it made crap sound even worse :)
And finally I would stress you are doing a great thing educating people. I guess many ppl think sound can be mixed in on or two axis - left right, close-far. One of the challenges i was facing as a young producer was to learn how to place sounds "above" and "below". Now there are tools like Brauer motion that are for something else, more effect based, but also provide nice visualisation of how rich the mixing field is .
Oh, word of warning . CLA2A and in general the entire CLA2x and 76 have issues with noise. And even if you turn off "analogue 50, 60hz", if you have these plugs across all your tracks, they can build to some serious noise.
Cheers!
should I buy them separately or the bundle (if bundle then which one). I'm confused. The reason I want this because I want to take my beats and songs to next level. right now the songs I'm working on. I'm just not getting that feel I want. any suggestion ??
thank you!
Thanks for your sharing~
No problem 😊
I love that string sound! Was that a vst or samples? Where did you get it?
That was Native Instruments Session Strings 2. This one: bit.ly/33x15Yd
J37 is better mono in channel strip as a effect or better stereo on Bus stereo ?
I picked up CLA-76, CLA Mixdown, H-Reverb, Pultec EQ, Smack Attack, Torque, and Waves Tune Real Time for the $29.99 sale
Nice! You shouldn't pay more than $29.99 for a Waves plugin.
Reel ADT, Torque, Sibilance, vinyl, R-eq, these are my absolute go toos. Honorable mentions scheps 73, h delay, and the Abby road tape plugin.
Nice list. I downloaded a demo or Reel ADT and it was nice. I didn't end up buying it though
@@SanjayC Trust me man. That plugin doubles like nothing else. It is the only plugin I know that creates realistic doubles that quickly. One time i had a thin choir part I recorded as background for a song. Threw in Reel ADT on the bus and it literally solved the problem perfectly.
Wow, your use is super subtle. I can not hear a difference and often I am able to.
Yeah. You can't hear a difference because there isn't one. Either he doesn't know what he's doing or he's working against Waves for other reasons.
Awesome
Thanks!
Can I ask if this plugins is working If i put in Adobe Audition Ver. 1.5
Hi, U need to click the plugins on and off so we can hear directly what the plugin is doing.
Great video! Which would you pick between CLA and Nectar 3 from IZotope?
CLA Vocals for quick processing. Nectar for some precision (if needed).
Sanjay C I’ll keep that in mind, thanks! Love your channel!
Hi Sanyaj! I woul like to know, if I not make updates my wawes plugins are not working. I mean, i have to pay every year for upgrade, other way, they are not working?
Greetings bro. Can you tell me how to get the waves plugins to show up without being completely black? Everything is installed.
would you recomend wave shorizon bundle im thinking i need some better q reverb and drive also ima get sound toys just maken a list wish i knew exactly what i need but the bundles are such a godo deal hard to ressit
For recording on my PC I use a software called MixPad NCH and I really don't understand how I can use all these fantastic plugins on my computer. Somebody can give me a link with some instruction?
I have a huge problem with harshness in vocals on certain words, and i use a dynamic eq to try to get them out, but that often creates new ones and dulls the vocal. These frequencies are mostly because i work with rappers with cheap mics and untreated rooms. Any tips?
Your untreated room is more likely the problem. But even a mic shield will help. Like this one www.amazon.com/Neewer-Microphone-Isolation-Absorbent-Compatible/dp/B0841KM5VG
is there any phasing issue mixing stereo kick in the mix
Which Instruments did you use in this track? The strings sounded amazing.
I used Native Instruments Session Strings. I love them. ua-cam.com/video/ZuH0YHdbLtY/v-deo.html
Hi, in this video you are using an other headphone than the recommanded DT770 PRO. Which one is that? Satisfied?
I was testing the Austrian Audio headphones. They're really nice, but very different from the DT770 - and more expensive. I wouldn't replace my DT 770s
Hi bro! my waves plugins or not showing the system. when I open the waves plugins it shows a black page.i am not able to make changes, like volume up and down. I update the plugins but still shows the same. can you please help me? thanks.
Hey Sanjay what is that box that sits in front of your monitor and what do you use it for?
Hi Tyler. That's a synth - the Moog Sirin. Its a monosynth, so its capable of playing one note at a time. It produces some nice bass and lead sounds. I don't use it that often, to be honest. Here's more about it. ua-cam.com/video/S9D6Z2D3aJo/v-deo.html
If I can only choose one between R Vox and CLA Vocals, which one should I pick?
Thanks,
RVox. I think its more versatile and its just amazing
nice video... whats the name of the song
getting my rvox for free haha tq sanjay great vid as usual!
Sweet!
On the SSL Bus Comp, I noticed that when you had it engaged it wasn't actually doing any compression (according the the meter). I couldn't pick up any difference on the a/b with my ears so was just wondering if it was intentional or if I'm just not picking up on what it was doing? Sorry if this has been mentioned already
Lol yeah he’s definitely doesn’t know what he’s doing
Scheps 73 which is a Neve 1073 emulator is just incredible on vocals.
Hey, side question... NKS Ready and Komplete Kontrol keyboards.. do you have any guides or tips on how to get the best out of the Komplete Kontrol with NKS Ready instruments???
Hey Tim, I haven't really looked into tips for NKS instruments. They just work ;-) Let me know if you have some ideas for a video. I'd love to make one
@@SanjayC i must have set mine up wrong because I can't seem to get anything to work properly haha. Back to the manual i guess :D
IM pusher for clipping kicks, snare,, FEw times in the mix bus or in mastering to cut peaks 1 to 3 db
I have the whole waves v11 plugins pack sir. And now I got how to use them sir.
😲
@@MarwinLobo Yes man it's insane man but it's true I worked so hard to save money man.
Nice!!! Classic plugins and excellent for any type of music. Which ones do you use most?
@@SanjayC I use CLA vocals and rvox the most sir.
I put CLA vocaaaaaals and RC20 on the master every time.
Hey man I've always had this doubt... waves gives u free updates for about a year or so, after which you have to renew the waves update plan... do you have to renew it every year, cause it gets super expensive then
No way...I hardly ever renew mine. The only time I renew is if the old version stops working with my operating system or something. I very rarely get the updates. If it ain't broke, don't make me pay to have it fixed!! lol!
I like waves !
Waves makes awesome plugins
