I don’t use stereo widening plugins but I do enjoy the ozone stereo enhancer at 3%

My dog! Thank you!

🫶🏻

@@paulmisty8998 hell yeah 💪🏻

Cream 2 and I forgot the other one that I own but as of now are still not available on M1 nativly AAX (Not using rosetta) unless it just got updated I'm not aware of it. I reached out to support in like May and they said they couldn't provide a timeline on when they would be updated. ***UPDATE*** I just checked I guess they did get updated I just installed them! Good looks thanks for reminding me

@@coldskoolbeatz I would love too but they’re so expensive haha I have some that I’ve bought though!

@@RicardoTolbert They always have sales around the middle of the year and the holidays my G.

@@coldskoolbeatz ima have to be on the lookout. I also don’t use them because I’m on a M1 Mac and they’re not updated yet. Unfortunately kind of sucks. It’s been like four years lol

@@RicardoTolbert My replies keep disappearing. Maybe it's because I was trying to paste the support statement from Acustica's website. Anyway, not sure where you heard Acustica plugins are not supported on an M1. I own a 16" Macbook Pro M1 Max and at least 15 or more Acustica plugins. I use Cubase 13, ProTools, and a few other DAWs. I never had issues running them in any of them. Cubase 13 in particular blocks any plugin that is not native. Of the 15 or 20 I own, only 1 shows up on the block list. The other 19 or so say, "x64/arm64" under the architecture list. I bet if I updated that particular plugin it would find it's way off that list.

@@AnwaarAliOfficial no.

My dog 💪🏻 thank you !

Appreciate you homie thanks for stopping by! Let me know what you get

It can be similar. The PA you can be more intentional because you have control over the THD. So you can essentially run you channel strips "hot" on purpose. But the UAD you have to push into it to get some juice out of it. So really it just would change the way you mix. But I will say I do really enjoy the transformer button on the UAD!

Yeah I get what you're saying and I totally agree. It's hard for me to play the full song(s) because I've gotten a few copyright strikes before when I play the full song and its a long process to get them removed and let TH-cam know that the artist is okay with me doing these. My next few videos will have a lot more context. Thanks for the feedback though I appreciate it and thanks for watching!

⁠​⁠​⁠@@RicardoTolbertI’ve seen lots of tutorials where they play the vocals with the music but I hadn’t thought about what is required to do that without some penalty being applied by TH-cam. I guess if it’s music approved by the copyright owner it’s okay to use it. Thanks for your reply, Ricardo… I appreciate all of you guys who are trying to help us learn how to mix. Happy teaching !!! 😊

@@angel.2002 EQ for sure

bet! i definitely gotta try playing around with the ratios more i usually do like a 4:1 lol

There's something happening with YT's conversion unfortunately they haven't gotten back to me with any help. My next few uploads will hopefully be okay

Nice video though 🔥🔥🔥

Yeah for sure it is but with the Distressor specfically it is emulating the compression curve of how an opto compressor detects and reacts to the signal. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!

I appreciate that! Thanks for stopping by!

The compressor is everything in a vocal track you’re st ooo pid. Most music would suck without great engineering.

@@leadfoot64 Hey buddy, I've been a prize winning engineer for over 40 years. My point was there is very little difference from one compressor to another and one brand of compressor is not going to make or break a great performance. And, by the way, the compressor is NOT everything in a vocal track, the vocalist is.

@@iamtheimagedoctor Oops I’m stupid, didn’t catch you were talking about compressor comparison.. that’s true. As far as the vocals, I figured it was given that the ‘vocals/vocalist’ was top notch, and the next important thing would be compression. Compression is on all recorded music (with some exceptions) in one form or another so I would say its role is very important.

@@leadfoot64 Did you even watch this? It starts with the statement "Why ALL engineers use these compressors for vocals." That is obviously a statement that can be contradicted. There over 100 sub genres of music and this TH-cam is by someone who stated they record a lot of HipHop. Essentially saying that the compressors are "too clean." Then you have to add a tube pre-amp in the chain to burn in some harmonics to "warm up" the sound. All I'm saying is that there are dozens, if not hundreds, of compressors on the market. Sure some are cheap and you don't want to run your vocal through a guitar pedal compressor. But they all have a threshold, a ratio, a gain, and if you're lucky a hard and soft knee control. I could go into any professional studio in the world and do fine with whatever compressors were present. If the final product is a big hit is anyone going to say "Thank God we had that particular compressor or we wouldn't have had a hit." Or likewise if it's a flop/disaster is anyone going blame it on the vocal compressor? Of course the role of the compressor is important but to state that ALL engineers use these compressors is, quite frankly, BS. End of story.

Yeah because when it comes to interfaces that have low-latency recording capabilities, your signal is hitting the included software first to be processed through the hardware then into your DAW. With Avid it just directly going to pro tools. Same thing with UAD if you were to use Luna you are doing all the processing within the DAW instead of separate app.

yeah thats true just depends on what ur needs are and if you think gear will get you to a place that you need to be. The end of the day its mental thing. Ive worked with producers who can't work without certain gear or gear at all and Ive worked with people who can work with anything!

Glad you liked it!

Well if you watched the video you would basically understand how to PRINT your audio with your native plugins. Thanks fam4925

@@RicardoTolbert I did watch the whole thing and how exactly did I get the most of them? I thought - because of your intro - you'll be talking about using UAD native plugins without UAD hardware. Both the title and the intro did hint on that and then what.

I’m not sure what you’re not understanding? Either you don’t understand how the UAD platform works or you missed the entire part where I was showing you how to PRINT your NATIVE plugins just like if you had a UAD interface. The title says “how to get the most of your plugins” not “how to get the most out of your UAD plugins” and in the entire video I’m explaining why I got rid of my UAD interface, but how you can still use your third-party native plug-ins just like if you had a UAD interface.

@pham4925 also instead of complaining about something you clearly don’t understand. I actually do have videos on UAD native plug-ins that I’ve made in the past.

Couldn't agree more!

I agree!!!

Thanks Jeremy Johnson 7676!

Thank you 😊

I agree they did a really good job with modeling it!

Yeah usually that is typically a harsh area especially for AirPods and Bluetooth speakers

@@ApexArtistX Title says “best plugins for mixing” not “best sounding plugins”

Yeah defiantly I can do that asap, thank you for the suggestion!

Yeah I can believe that. Ive always said that specifically the UAD LA-2A collection has the most character when it comes to compressors. They did a really good job. The tube-tech you have to really dig into to get it to do its thing which is true for the hardware as well in my opinion!

Thanks brother 🙏🏼 appreciate you

Yeah exactly that was my conclusion. Its definitely most useful on buss's!

Good choice!

Both great can’t go wrong with either one. Manley is tube, 2500 is VCA. In my opinion the 2500 is more flexible but if you’re looking for more of a sound or big tone difference I’d go with the Manley.

@RicardoTolbert thanks! They have the 10 bundle for $349 and I got a $25 discount, but didn't want to get 2 compressors If I didn't need.. kinda leaning to the API but they are both good 👍🏼 as hearing from the demos!I already got the UAD Essentials bundle for only $49! ..API Vision, 2500, 1176 collection , Mini Moog, Ravel, Manley Passive EQ , Avalon VT-737, Ravel, Hitsville Reverb and D Chorus or just the Manley Var Mu maybe..idk If I wanted to get another Mix Bus Compressor if I didn't need.. I'm making Hiphop and dabbling in EDM..

I’m actually not familiar lv1 so I can’t give my thoughts!

Yeppppp I try not to follow trends! Thank you for stopping by 🫡

This guy you’re referring to, I will agree.

Sick thanks for the info that’s good know and actually makes since now thinking about it thank you!

Glad i could help !

I’ll have to check them out I demo’d one plugin from them before

Usually I’m using the filters on the SSL’s specifically because I like how they filter. There unique. Especially on drums but yeah I’m always checking with and without the filters!

🫡 thanks for watching!

The good ol days! Look at how far technology has come!

Made it worse…..things like the mix doesn’t look right make me laugh.

@@redtape2006 made it worse in what way?

I’m using an Avid Carbon, so I’m able to use HDX plugins. 90 percent of plugin alliance can be used in DSP mode and obviously the avid plugins. But I also have an M1 Pro chip so most of the time I never have to tap into HDX unless I’m tracking!
