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
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
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.
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
@@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.
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!"
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 $7.99 a month. When picking those 5 I almost got the CLA vocals and I wish I had now.
*You do not have to be an expert in matters of the heart, to write about it and to speak about it. You just have to morally know what's right and what's wrong, stand behind that and move forward..*
Brauer Motion is one of my favorites for sure!! I like HComp and Kaleidoscope very much, RVox and RBass are highly regarded and for good reason, but one of my favorites that I don't see talked about a lot is Triple D. It's really good at ridding vocals of harshness and muddiness
idk why the needle wasn’t moving, his threshold could have been brought down more, but i def heard a difference in how hard the snare hit. could have just been change in level due to makeup gain tho...
Yup, it is just make up gain. Compression is not there at all. Do not want to hate, but this made me really sceptical about his knowledge about the Plugins. I personally would not trust the recommandations at this point. Btw, if anyone is interested in insane good Plugins check out Black Rooster Audio.
Hi! Thank you for the nice and useful videos. However, were you actually compressing the audio when using the SSL? Because ir seems like the signal wasn’t really reaching the threshold.
If you think Waves is expensive shop the UAD plugins. After you get over the sticker shock of the 1000+ dollar interface that's required. Waves is known for being affordable
Is the R vox better as an all-in-one compressor or the CLA 76 as a dynamic compressor in combination with the CLA 2a as a tonal compressor? Which variant sounds better? And when do you use which plugin? Would you combine the rvox with another plugin? I want to make pop and hip hop music, but sometimes something more aggressive.
Hey Sanjay, I see you are a fan of the SSL sound. Me too! So I did some research and landed upon the SSL Native plugins. Plugins made by SSL themselves! And they are available on a subscription model!!! 5$ a month for the channel strip and bus compressor. 15$ a month for their entire collection. I love them!!!
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
GW mixcentric is the best..... You do not have to know what is doing under the hood! It is the best! And voice centric it is much more clearer than Cla! Use your years! Love your stuff! 🙏
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.
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!
It's so strange to me that SSL is lauded for sound. The studio I worked in, SSL stood for "sounds so lousy". The only reason it was in the studio was for automation. When the newer Neve consoles came out with automation, everyone pretty much dropped SSL. Maybe it's just a preference.
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!
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
Saw a huge black friday sales from Waves and that's what brought me here However I can't seem to hear any difference most of the ABs and that SSL master bus in the middle was hilarious... threshold at +6 dB and pretending to hear compression kills me Anyway, I'm not buying anything after watching this, so thank you
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
@@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.
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?
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 ??
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!
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!!
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.

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
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.
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?

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

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
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
Notification squaaaddd. Also 200k!! So happy for you
Hey Varun! 😀 Thank you!🙏🏽
Amazing as always man!!
I've been meaning to get the J37 and Torque for a while now, they sound really good

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

6:08 is is me or the needle is not even moving aka the compressor doing nothing at all ?

@@daen446 I hated this video. It's almost as if he wants people to believe the plug-ins don't do anything.
I know the gr did nothing but I have it and it’s amazing on bus channels.
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 🤣

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!
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

@@ikigai47 'expansive', not expensive
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

I heard about it from a French rapper named "Ademo" from the "PNL" group some time ago, what a great discovery

Hi, U need to click the plugins on and off so we can hear directly what the plugin is doing.
Their distortion plug-ins are nice especially with the multimod.
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

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.
