    Hi Sara, wondered that you use the Bettermaker EQ, we use it mostly for rap or the more heavy genres. but your sound is also nice with it. The god particle, hmmm I have my doubts it makes the sound more "radio" I have a background in broadcast and was configuring Orban DSPs and making presets and it's just like a radio DSP, it's obvious that I hear that immediately. I still have a self restored API 16 channel with the original transformers. And our tracking room still an SSL 4000G. But all connected analog and digital with Dante. Noticed that you are also a mentor of the academy. Seems I don't I don't know everybody, have a great day.

    Great review. Did you adjust tonality on the individual tracks when first mixing into your mix bus chain? If yes then I would think that had you mixed into the God Particle mix bus you would have made "similar" adjustments when mixing into the God Particle and perhaps would have ended up adding a touch more highs on the individual tracks, yielding a brighter result on the mix. If no, I would tend to think on your mix bus that the Oxford Inflator was adding the desired highs with your Curve setting. I totally am in agreement that building a multi plugin mix bus chain offers much more flexibility, And the Oxford Inflator is a total gem!

I would love to know if there’s any chance that I can speak to you to find out if you could teach me a little more about this plug-in even though I’m doing well with it but just want to get a little more hands-on if possible and of course, would love to share my story.

    I use this on my mixbus right from start of every mix, regardless of genre. After gain staging the individual tracks and busses into it, I try to be hitting the input of this plug-in at the bottom of the green box input meter. After all track and bus level effects and compression I want to be at top of the green box input meter.
    I still like to place an eq before GP on the master bus, depends on what I feel would work best but I often reach for Pulsar Massive. Will also add Gullfoss from time to time after that eq. If master needs more glue than GP I may add a buss comp after the eqs, Pulsar Mu, Overloud 670, DDMF magic death eye tend to be favorites for me there.
    If only use eq in GP as some minor tweaks, if at all. I leave the big knob at 100%. Keep limiter on for quick demo to artist or for cross check across car, portable speaker, phone, earbuds etc. Limiter back off and print when moving into mastering stage (try to separate from mixing stage by a day or two if you can).
    GP is a great plug-in but it won’t fix a poor mix. I don’t think it will really help you fix a poor mix either. I do wish that the multi band meter target box for the high band was shifted more to the left so you can see how close/far you are from the high band target. I almost never hit that box consistently, a few peaks will light up, but not like the mid and low bands. I hope they change the Ui there in future release to make that meter more effective.
    Good review Sara, starting to watch your content and you offer a lot of solid advise and perspective that newer engineers should consider. Take care

    I got this one some weeks ago had had to remaster a dozen songs when I found out how good it was! So my mix bus suddenly got very slim. My mix/mastering chain is now this: UAD ATM-102 into the God particle, then Ozone 10 and for last the smart:limiter. I only use the limiter very early on in production, then turn it off when I get into the last stages of the mixing where I add the ATM, Ozone 10 and the smart:limiter.

      @@SaraCarterSimplyMixing I leave it at 100 for the most part, a bit like you with the Inflator, I mix into it. So I get the multi band compression, widening and depth I need from it. I guess you could have the input into the God Particle a little bit hotter than on the video and you would get "enough" on 100 % setting. If the signal is lower the effect also get less noticable. Also I often add 1 dB with an EQ using a high shelf from 1kHz.

I suspect you've given me the perfect solution as I do like the tone & width the God Particle gives. Cheers!

    This is a terrific video, thank you! I did try a trial of this plugin. I didn't perhaps try it as thoroughly as I should, but my impression was that it made things sound 'professional' easily; but that it was not very helpful in trying to craft my own sound. So, it certainly has its uses. For me, both as a learner and as someone mixing (and to the extent that I can, mastering) her own work, I don't think I'm ready for it. There are other tools that are much better with which to learn and to explore different possibilities.

I constantly keep on struggling with integrating VU's at the end to take some reference. I also saw that video on your channel and it's something I've gone back and forth a lot. I think I can see that your VU is set at -14 dB FS & sometimes you are hitting +5. Would you tone it down paying more attention to the VU or would you just wouldn't mind that + something & stick to the Master Out not clipping? I hope I made some sense there. Thanks again

  • @Rhekluse

    I wouldn't add an EQ before GP to boost the highs, I believe the idea is to add those highs throughout the mixing process. I find the main parameters I use are the Input & Output in order to maintain the target level going In and level match going out (assuming the mix is leveled & gain staged). The limiter works well but it feels more for test-squashing a mix for loudness. It's clean but with no ceiling, attack or release parameters I would rather just stick with a more than capable 3rd party limiter. As mentioned in other comments, it does feel like the EQ is more for minor tweaks. Low (shelf at 100Hz), Mid (bell at 600Hz-ish) & High (shelf at 9khz-ish) the EQ does have fixed slopes & curves so it may be modelled from a console Jaycen Joshua preferred, or maybe its for giving that smiley face EQ vibe. Overall I really like the GP but its not a secret-sauce and it certainly won't fix bad mixes. Cheers Sara!

    I think i like the God Particle better cuz it sounds warmer but if you had adjusted your static mix i think it you would've had a more similar sound rather than tweaking the GP for your mix ! and btw i think the Inflator does add brightness so that's what you're probably hearing i don't think it's the recording.

      Not necessarily, warm signals can still have high frequency content, don't you think? The issue is the subjectivity and vagueness of these terms when trying to describe sound

    Hi, i have a little bit out of topic question, is the project setting at 24bit depth? 'cause i saw dithering at 24 on L2 limiter, i usually work at 48/24 so my question is, if i work with this setting and export at the same sttings (i rather render offline 'cause i pass through an Analog Heat MKII just to add a little bit of saturation, to my ears it rounds a little bit the hashness feeling of a project based mostly on digital sounds) do i need to use dithering on the limiter anyway?

    • @SaraCarterSimplyMixing
      @SaraCarterSimplyMixing  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Even though the session might be set to 24bit, internally the DAW is running at 32bit floating point, so bouncing out a 24bit mix should have dither applied (as far as I understand it) unless it's going to a mastering engineer. I believe some DAW's do this automatically so it's worth checking before adding a dither plugin. It's confusing though because some say that you don't need to dither from 32bit floating point to 24bit, so in all honesty, sometimes I do and sometimes I don't and nothing bad has happened yet!

    • @foruncolo74
      @foruncolo74 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@SaraCarterSimplyMixing ok, yeah, it's a little bit confusing but since all DAWs should work at 32bit internally i should apply dither through a limiter or on the DAW settings (in Ableton you can enable or disable it) before exporting, it's still quite confusing anyway tho, 'cause if i render some tracks online i can't apply dither of course so i wonder if i do many online renders of various stems (sometimes i render stems when i do some heavy processing with plugins that are quite CPU hungry instead of freezing the track), i don't know if i'm adding noise to noise but i never heard anything strange anyway but i think i will apply it from now on, at least on the final track, on the limiter if i render online, on the DAW if i render online. Mani thanks you for the answer :)

    The most "real" review of this plugin.. I feel like most reviewers often get on the congratulatory wagon too soon. Thanks for putting it through it's paces. I'm actually not convinced this is meant for all genres of music. Maybe those other promised EQ curves might address that in the future.

      The verve of the bloke who 'invented' this. it's just a bunch of eq and compression in AI architecture. I think it's because of the word 'GOD' and his ridiculous reputation in the current music scene. The guy is a sleaze.

Maybe I was wrong or rude and my intention was never that because I happen to respect and like Sara Carter. So I watched it again until the 15th minute barrier and there is literally no audio passing through the plug in. A thorough explanation of other plug ins, a quick runthrough of the plug in interface, the way Sara's template is set and so on. So, luckily my ears are just fine, thank you for the interest!

    Between minutes 20-23 I can tell the plugin is confusing you... its meant to be mixed into. You compared a whole cocktail of adjusted plugins with the god particle untouched/unadjusted. Not a true comparison in my humble opinion. The god particle isn't supposed be your whole mix bus like the chain you made. Try using that chain going into the god particle instead and tweak your chain into it well without the l2 or whatever limiter your using since god particle has a limiter or you can put whatever limiter after the god particle instead too
