It definitely has come a long way and things are much easier. Using loops is a solid choice, many people do. I’ve been a drummer since I was young so that’s why I always play. Just keep making music and having fun!

@@floodwaterstudios I've used 3 for a song i'm working on and getting them all in time was a nightmare. All were tweaked manually until they were in time.

🤙

Those types of settings presonus doesn’t really make known. I’ve tried to find other stuff for the fat channel also but to no avail. I will say channel strip does seem less responsive compared to other compressors though. Still a great option, just less initial response

Appreciate you

If you’re merging midi events you can “dissolve” the part and it will break it back into section. If you’re merging audio events unfortunately there isn’t a single click way to dissolve that. You would need to use the splitter tool and chop it back up manually.

You’re gonna love it

It didn’t sound like one to me. I’m not a fan of tube screamers. Too much midrange boost for me.

@@floodwaterstudios Buying one, I dont like tubescreamers either, ha ha

Appreciate it

Appreciate the feedback. No hard feelings at all 😀

Awesome idea!

I need to make a video about it. It’s so great!

@@floodwaterstudios mines doing better. When u updated the firmware something must’ve gone wonky. I did a factory reset and things are working like they’re supposed to now.

@@floodwaterstudios and yes. You DO need to do a video on it. There are precious few available.

🤘

I hadn't actually thought about that. Which poses a question; Why would you want to skip parts?

​@@floodwaterstudiosThis feature has existed in LOGIC for decades and is so handy if you want to test different versions of your song without having to move the parts you don't want to play. On top of that, it makes the scratch pad practically useless because you can do any combination directly in the arranger view.

I address this also. I use quantize to tighten up and then manually address problematic areas such as fills. Pitch can cause issues especially in overheads for sure. But I’ve noticed usually that’s only if the quantizing has gone wrong somewhere. Work smarter. Not hard. Efficiency in the studio is key.

Fat channel is just the plugin name. It adds 5 plugins to your channel at once instead of 5 different plugins being needed. You get a high pass filter, gate, compression, eq, and limiter. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Welcome!

Yes! Aren’t we glad we don’t have to cut real tape anymore? The digital age is pretty awesome.

Appreciate you!

You have some good ideas!

Enjoy!

🤘🏻 keep pushing!

Appreciate You 🤘🏻

The knob on top is a trim/gain knob. That affects the signal going into the fade. I like to get things up to volume using the gain knob then fine tune with the fader. Drastic moves on faders can cause lower resolution audio

@@floodwaterstudios thank you for the response. Is this only good for playback or can it be used for monitoring? i.e if my guitar sounds too quiet, can I increase the trim to hear it more clearly before recording?

The trim knob can be useful in setting level for recording but keep in mind it will record at that level. Meaning if it’s too hot you could run into clipping. Just keep an eye on it and if all else fails turn up your speakers to hear better. Recording at conservative levels will give more headroom and less headache during mixing.

@@floodwaterstudios I see, that's one issue I am encountering with studio one. My monitoring does not feel loud enough for my guitar, the volume is at max on my scarlet interface and my input is at around -10Db. When I record, the playback is much louder than the monitoring .....why could that be? How can I get the recorded levels and the monitor level to be the same?

Shoot me an email jon@floodwaterstudios.com

Everything should be up and running. My apologies for the glitch.

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll fix this asap.

Glad this can help you. In the studio I run Mac.

I’ve been here. Every Thursday 9am 🤘🏻

@@floodwaterstudios Ah, the algorithm just brough the video to my feed today. (Not that it matters but,) What about compressing (death) metal guitars? I'm using Softube amp room with like 8 other plugins. Needless to say, its kicking my ass! So much fizz. I'm even using that new W.A. production Deres to help. Plus, UAD compressors.

If by fizz you mean extra noise then I would look into a noise gate to help. I’m not sure if compression would solve much of that issue. You could try to mess with the compression release knob which can help control the tails after the initial transient. Though with so much distortion/drive it will be harder to do so.

You can set a key, yes. I did not have one set in that tune though. Between timing and temp to the right of transport controls you can set it. Then in melodyne you can also set it to link.

Heck yeah! Possibilities are pretty endless 🤘🏼

I dive into the very thing here: Should You Use A Bus Or FX Channel? th-cam.com/video/NR-KDptY2-U/w-d-xo.html Cheers!

Only the lead line has any effects on it (reverb and delay). The two rhythms were just the pedal and amp. Don’t let this video make you pass on the pedal. It lives on my board. Sounds great. Hope this helps 👍

🤘🏼

It looks like somehow my whole website is down currently also. I’ll need to investigate that because it was up yesterday.

www.floodwaterstudios.com/template should be fully functional. I’ve tested the link thoroughly and it should all be fixed my friend!

I appreciate you!

I will add a limiter when sending mixes for review/approval. Although I only turn it on to do that bounce out. Good advice to have though for sure!

I agree. There are some better options out there. There is too much low end response for me to clean up.

@@floodwaterstudios exactly. I‘ve tried it as mic for bass, but the ultralowend is not useful.

I'm not sure what you mean here. What cannot stop?

MD for me!

Appreciate you

Hey there. I’m sorry to hear this. I will make it right. Send me an email to jon@floodwaterstudios.com

I normally process them as kicks but have not tried centering. I’ll definitely give it a listen soon!
