Do you use top-down mixing? If so what are your favourite plug-ins for this? If you would like some free custom rock and metal drum samples and other goodies, grab them here: www.audioproductiontips.com/free-stuff
Great video. Just found your channel and I like how you actually know what you're doing. Subscribed and looking forward to more. Have you done one on good gain staging and referencing levels?
Thank you, much appreciated. I did, it is an older video called "Digital Gain Staging with a VU meter". However, unfortunately, the audio capture device was set to the internal iMac mic so the microphone quality isn't as good on it. However, all the information is correct. I was actually going to make a revised version this week which is more of a cut to the chase version. I did a video last week on Digital Metering too, which explains dBFS, RMS, LUFS, True Peak etc.
Hey Pete, I didn't know there was a term for mixing like that, Nice. How do you feel about drMS? I've been curious about that plugin. Maybe its worth doing a video on? I love the Black Box too! I'd be curious to hear some of your favorite plugins and why? The track sounds good!
Hi Nick, I really like drMS it lives on my mix bus with a slightly adapted version of the preset shown in the video. It's also mono-compatible which is useful on groups of instruments. Maybe I will do a favourite plug-ins video :)
Hi Nathan, Yes, Multi-mono certainly for compressors (and sometimes saturation too), because you get more "bounce" and "movement" that way. This works well on stereo-buses in general not just the mixbus. For things like EQ I tend to leave in stereo. I know Michael Brauer only ever uses multi-mono compressors on the mixbus.
These methods like you used, 'Top-Down' or 'Bottoms-up' or 'Side-Side', what is your motive by doing this? I mean what do you wanna achieve? Also, one more question. What about Gain staging, EQ, Compressor and all? Do you use it before using these methods?
Top down and bottom up etc. Are just methods one could use to achieve their desired goal, another way to think of it; what is your preferred 'workflow'? How do you feel most comfortable working given a set of conditions. The goal is to achieve a mix you're happy with Gainstaging is the first thing you should do, everything else comes after.

Very nice 👌
What do you think of the dual mono processing on the masterbus rather then a stereo processing on it?
