Andrew (and complementary, Waves) hit a homerun with the Schepps Omni Channel. It's my go-to channel strip on nearly everything. No time lost making critical mix decisions.
The omni channel was a GAME CHANGER for me. It's my number one strip on just about everything. Andrew did an amazing job with that plug-in, because it has literally changed the way i mix
Parallel Particles is a gem! I love it on kick! It seems to have all I initially need to shape the sound: thick adds that low mid punch, bite acts as the attack control on a transient designer and sub, well, is basically the sub harmonic synthesizer I'd use to give the kick that low end authority. For someone who's a beginner at mixing, it really does marvels!
Coming back just to comment on the Omni channel. I was liking it a lot, but more recent Waves versions just take forever to load large sessions. I think V11 was maybe ok, but the GUI isn't resizable. Another thing I don't like is the color palette of the GUI. Too dark and not enough contrast of colors between the background and knobs. It really is a Swiss Army knife though.
@@Tazmanian_Ninja I've since moved on. I've been using the AMEK 9099 on recent sessions and it's become my go-to channel strip. Sounds great, good feature-set and the GUI is superb.
I feel like the compressors in the Omni channel aren't as useful as I'd hoped for mixing drums. The attack and release times are way different for each compressor. The vca attack is always fast even at slowest settings. The fet is pretty good, but adds that top end aggressiveness that you might not always want. And the opto is slower, but still softens transients. For a modern drum sound, I'm pretty much only using the fet. I was hoping for a clear smacky/punchy sound like ssl or api. Anyone else have a different opinion? Maybe I'm just plain wrong.
You can always add your favorite plugin and insert it into the Schepps Omni. For punchy drums I'd suggest the Waves API 2500, or Klanghelm MJUC. ; ) For drums, you're not going to really use an optical or tube compressor, so your assessment is correct on the Omni with some drum tracks. Remember, it's a Swiss army knife, and a good one at that.
A channel strip compressor is never going to provide the same release and attack time of a good, or dedicated compressor. Your point is a good one towards drums. I know with release times on cymbals, there's the same limited issue. But the Sheps Omni Channel covers this with inserting your own plugins where you need them. Unfortunately, it must be a Waves plugin. I'm not very big on most of the waves' other plugins for the most part.

Scheps*
@@Y42 Yes, of course. Typo.
Man, I could listen to Andrew talk all day. A true artist. It's fitting that an amazing engineer has such a pleasant voice.
CLA is another cool dude to listen to. Don’t you think so?
@@JAROCHELOcesarcastro no
Scheps 73 is magical on vocals
Bought the Omni Channel a few weeks ago - BEST PLUGIN EVER!

„it’s a gainchanger!“

Scheps Omni was my first paid plugin. It's amazing.
I try every channel strip but ever since getting Omni Channel I haven't yet found one that is better. Scheps Omni Channel is a must-own!!
Andrew is the best!
damn im sold. Been a fan of the 73 plugin a while but I'm definitely grabbing his other 2
The preamp on the Scheps 1073 is awesome.
The omni channel is the best plug-in ever made. That’s all.
I just tried it today! I can't believe I overlooked it for so long. That and particles are enough. So much time will be saved now.
ok i need andrew to do a detailed video of what he's got in his mammoth eurorack now. esp the sequencer i can see on the right, wth is that
or at least i assume its a sequencer
This channel is gold! How do you not have 1M subs??? It's beyond me! I subbed anyway!
I agree… this guy is having top tier guests and the amount of subs is ridiculously low.
Yep. I already got 73....now I'm getting the others...

You're right about the contrast. Could be a tad better.

why did he stop using parallel compression that much??
The cat condo lol.
Love The Omni-Channel
‘ The ultimate one window Swiss Army knife of cool sounding shit ‘ 😎🖖🏿🤓
Andrew you know you can have Eurorack plug ins right?
haha now i get it why is good a channel strip in one plugin, makes sense. Many things have to be seem and compared at the same time
I am sorry but the plugin will never sound exactly as the analog 1073

I think he made them for the way he mixes so definitely use your own fave comps in there instead.

Is all that hardware behind him Waves?
Maestro
parallel particles is a sleeper
Great Interview. Great Plugins but for me so ugly!! Maybe together with the CLA Hub the best analog Emu Channelstrips.
Waves is a joke
His channelstrip plugin is extremely CPU hungry.
not realy
@@SenfSenferson Yes it is. Just activate all elements of it and you will see that your CPU is eaten up.
I can easily do a full mix on a 8 year old MacBook Pro with Omni Channel on every channel, so not really...
what is your cpu?
@Arthur Frayn how do I install pro tools on gameboy ? 🤪🤓😆
