i still wonder why you record these videos without a direct audio source from the Daw. Would be way more usefull....

[@rrdj4tec11]

Thanks so much guys! This was by far the most helpful tutorial I have ever watched. Good tutorials for how to mix and master EDM tracks using UAD plugins are almost impossible to find. You guys are awesome and I hope to work with you in the future.

[@ProducersHouse]

Great video VOG tip was really helpful. Just to give a heads up for newbies the release on 1176 is in reverse to typical compressors. 7 is the quickest release setting and 1 is the slowest

[@CouncilEstatePopMusic]

great tips and tricks. thanks for the upload.

[@SayakPChatterjee]

Appreciate your lesson...keep going..love from India..

[@rickpena8843]

Thank you so much. You've helped answer a lot of questions for me.

[@KarimLeMec]

The chainsaw stem need to compress a bit ...

[@garfieldoliveira1458]

Brilliant video guys, excellent, where is the link to the part 2 video please, thanks cheers

[@jaygandhi3178]

They do good work.

[@dannyhudson5115]

I miss Alex being in the squatters, that was some crazy house music

[@jinxypoes1]

mix every channel on -12 db on each fader and you wil never have clipping problems or headroom problems

[@timurnugumanov8164]

chainsaw background sound in the mixing studio? rly?

[@analogsquad5530]

Not everyone is lucky enough to work in total silence.

[@RebelloMusicUK]

real helpful, cheers

[@lambd01d]

He showed the how bit, but not the why. Why not just bounce out your groups straight into a premaster? Is it more a CPU thing or is there some other reason for doing it like this?

[@arbcovers]

explained really well..

[@HeavenlyTrance]

You guys are awesome!!! I would love to wear a t-shirt like that!! where can i buy it? :D

[@RH3D]

Sorry - could this not have been filmed on a different day to the construction work? This is a video specifically about hearing small changed in audio and the fucking chainsaw massacre's going down in the other room,... really?... REALLY?

[@Dismiacs]

i canr find the secound part of this video in the online vault ?

[@2011hifi]

Man that drill or some machine sound in the back ground is annoying.
Nice tutorial.THanks

[@skymakai]

Am I the only one who was sad to see that LabelWorx is using UAD Voice of God (VOG)? Isn't it well known that VOG is simply a resonant HP filter, that can easily be replaced by any EQ module in any DAW?

[@labelworx]

It is not just a HP filter. I have just tried VOG compared with a couple of EQ's to get the same effect and it is no where near the same. VOG Generates harmonics and adds them to what is already there. You get a lot warmer, thicker sound than doing the same with just an EQ. I'm saying this after trying what you suggested too. Hope you found the rest of the video interesting :)

[@vishnudh1216]

If you are gonna feel sad about things like this then you are gonna be depressed forever! So let the man use the plugins he is comfortable with 🙄

[@jonathankevinpick]

I've bought this copy of CM mag, but can't find the second half of the video, can anyone help point me in the right direction?

[@Dismiacs]

same here have no fucking clue where it is

[@jonathankevinpick]

I found it. It's on page 35 of the mag, bottom of the blue box.

[@Dismiacs]

Jonathan Pick what do you mean it's on there? is it a link I can download it from or something because I can't find it in the online vault thing... explain a little please

[@Dismiacs]

thanks i found it on page 35
P.S they will probably not like your comment lol

[@jonathankevinpick]

good stuff. haha thats why i didn't just put the link 😂

[@parrat8589]

Super random but anyone know who makes that studio desk?

[@sullyskillz09]

Christopher Brandes probably custom built

[@labelworx]

A guy who works in our office made the desk for us. He is a label manager but good with wood in his spare time ;)

[@timurnugumanov8164]

was he making another one during this video?

[@ScandinavianGut]

Where is part 2?

[@pkmusicrecords]

Label Worx claimed one of my song! Not cool tho!

[@AV-sl1wr]

dude sounds like a 13 year old boy going through puberty lol , good video though minus the backround noise
oise

[@Love-Within]

[@Movedahouseradio]

[@aesthxtczoe1550]
