Ok I have a question. You still have the vocal track sending to the master. You are sending a parallel output into mixbus 8 so basically the overall output is louder and the compressed audio is blended. Is this correct? Is this how it is done or is it typical to compress the signal 100% wet?
Might have been an oversight on my part but usually you would disable the master from that track when sending to a bus unless you wanted to do a parallel compression type of setup.
Yeah, Mixbus is different compared to other DAWs but it certainly sounds fantastic. The closest DAW to it in sound, that I've found is Nuendo. Will be working with these videos to ramp up on Mixbus 32C v8. Thanks Nathan.
Only just watched this vid! It's good - Your explanations are easy to follow, Nathan. But the string squeak bothers me (as I I have to modify my live technique when recording to try and reduce it during recording performance!) Do the techniques you illustrate revue it in anyway - or do they enhance it? Or deal with that squeak before compression/limiting?
It depends on how dense the mix is. If you are doing solo acoustic you would want to minimize the squeak in the performance first and then an EQ or multi band compressor in post.
Hey! How do you show both e.q. and auxilairies?? I'm only allowed to choose one and i regret buying another new version. I bought 3 new versions and still the compressor lacks decent att/rel controls:(. Oh, and the option to make channels 2x smaller! It is like Waves update plan...
Hi Richard, you need a monitor that has a minimum of 1200px in height. This has nothing to do with the size of the screen but just the pixel count. My small 13" MBP can show both EQ and Sends at the same time. The compression section gives you predefined Attack an release times based on the type you choose. If you want to adjust the attack then choose the Leveler, to adjust the ratio choose the Compressor and to adjust the release then choose the Limiter. The ACE compressor (comes with the software) if a full compressor with attack and release times. You can only make channels smaller in Mixbus and not 32c.
nice tut vid here, but i notice you didn't turn off the Mstr button on the vocal track, now both the vocal track and the vocal mixbus are sending signal to the master bus, is this intentional/trick to make the vocal sound louder in the mix ?
Good catch :) This can be used for a parallel compression trick if the occasion calls for it. I may features this song in future videos. My friend Treva is a great singer.
Thanks for the video. Love these beginners series. The only downside was the audio take from the female singer. Sounded very autotuned for some reason. Looking forward to the next video.

Glad you like it! Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Nathan! I think this is one, if not, the, best quickie on Mixbus compression usage I've seen so far. Great Job!
Thanks Patrick, glad you liked it.

Oh crap I just noticed you already asked the same question I just posted!

Glad you liked the video.
I agree the vocals were extremely unnatural sounding from some sort of pitch correction.
thx thx and thx Natan for this beginer series!
Your welcome. More videos coming soon.
Thanks Nathan! Just a tweak is sometimes all it takes!
Thanks for the comment Jake. Glad you like the series.
Great job. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
GOOD ONE!!
Thanks for watching Milton.
