wow lot of haters in the comments. Anyway thanks for this super useful run through. I really appreciate that you went in detail and then also ran through practical applications. Much appreciated!!
been waiting for this video!! great timing: Saturday morning, fresh coffee .... I'm settling in to watch all of this. *edit* ok great video mate, thanks for taking the time. couple of observations: the Instance List has the tracks in a different order than how they sit in Logic, which is a little frustrating. the first comparison between Q3 & Q4 was really interesting. to me 4 sounds cleaner, it was definitely my preference. it was in the tails of the high end around the hi hat... the release seemed faster? hard to articulate. when you compared Left to Right summing to mono: zero difference.
The order thing is odd. Because even if you add them in sequence the order doesn’t remain. I really couldn’t tell which was “better” in an A/B just different. But if you could then it was worth it test wise. Possible that 4+ hours of critical listening I should have taken a break an it would be clearer 🤷♂️ Hope you enjoyed your Saturday, seems like you’re getting up just as I crashed out.
@@Unders it seems that the order list only affects AU plugs. I put 4 tracks into Reaper, renamed them 1 -4 and the Instance list was in the correct order, so VST3 plugs do it correctly.
14:22 - You may have realised by now, but to switch between dynamic and spectral, you don't need to right-click and select in the menus. But simply to click on the toggle icon which appears directly above the Gain knob oas soon as you begin dialing in a dynamic range. Which makes for a much faster workflow. (initially, I too kept menu diving, until I realised the 'toggle' only appears once you dial in your dynamic range. But that's not required). :)
Like I said. Nothing that’s not in the manual. New users will find it useful, updaters can see application of new stuff. Things like spectrum grab get overlooked so it’s covered.
Yes. That's true. However, I've said it because I'm seeing this trend online, to use heavy low-cut on every element! I, especially, dislike heavy low-cuts on main vocals. Some TH-camrs claim that "we don't need those lower frequencies" on a vocal. But, human voices do contain some of those lower frequencies too! I feel like taming such lows with a dynamic EQ leads to a more natural sound, compared to a heavy low-cut.
Reminder. The best sounding records had 2 weeks just to mic up their drum kits and we’re spending MILLIONS even in the early 00’s U2 for example spent 30m on production. So. STFU and get off your high horse 🫶
@ come to think of it. What are you doing using TH-cam, reminder the best sounding records were made without TH-cam. Actually, come to think of it. I hope you’re not using a DAW reminder. The best sanding records were made without DAW. Come to think of it I hope you’re not working alone. Reminder the best sounding records were made with a team of in-house engineers. 🙄

Appreciated. An yeah, its fine everyone's entitled to their opinion.
Thanks for the outstanding comparison .. I was on the fence, you've made up my mind ! Upgrade on the way !!!
Glad I could help, happy music making
Your definition A mazing explanation is second to none !!! Thank You !!!
Blessed to have you here. Thanks for the kind words.
@@Unders Just refreshing that you think it through & explain in detail many of us understand... For that ... Thank You !!!

Roger. Possibly a day 1 bug then.

What’s funny is. I know it’s there. But I’ve done it this way for near on 5 years, it’s an ingrained habit 🤦 thank for highlighting to others.
Super cool! 🙏
Glad you like it!
Thank you for the helpful tips! I am interested to find out where I can hear that singer on spotify, as she seemed quite talented.
Before I watch 43 minutes of content, can somebody confirm what "hidden feature" it is?
Nothing you can’t find in the manual if you plan on going through it 👍
@@Unders basically I'm asking if it's clickbait, as far as I know there are no "hidden features"

@@heddshot87 The art of denial LOL
WTF did i deny?
The may have ended Kirchoff
Now once the add different EQ modeling its over for Kirchoff
Let’s be honest Kirchhoff ripped off the FF design almost like for like. Shocking behaviour
Great video!
However, I feel like there's a bit too much LowCut & HighPass EQ-ing on each element.
(I like keeping things a bit more natural).
its a plugin demo not a mixing tutorial.
Yes. That's true.
However, I've said it because I'm seeing this trend online, to use heavy low-cut on every element!
I, especially, dislike heavy low-cuts on main vocals.

Man, those female vocals are really getting on my nerves but your information is ace!
Impossible to please everybody 🤷♂️
@ You are right and you shouldn’t, ever... thanks for the video.

Are you delusional to how there’s correlation here to your point?
