I use your "upward compression on mids" trick all the time. I've been calling it "parallel midrange upward compression," but it's the same thing. I'll sometimes do it on a whole mix in the mastering stage if I feel the mix needs more perceived loudness or presence. But I sometimes also do it at the mix stage on individual elements or instrument busses.
@@NVRLOSTT depends on what stage of the process I'm at. I love Pultec style EQs. I also like the high end on certain console emulations, especially SSL emulations like the ones made by Brainworx at Plugin Alliance. I also find saturation plugins can add some nice high end content. Fab Filter Saturn is great. But I'm far from an expert. If anything, my mixes end up too scooped... lots of lows and highs. That's why I love the upward compression trick to add midrange.
⚠⚠⚠Brother Sage! A have a request, could you do a video on De-Essers? As technology is always moving forward, we have now Dynamic Deessers (Pro-DS, Weiss DeEss, RDeess, Spectral Deessers (sonible smart deesser, Oxford SuprEsser, RX Deesser as insert), AI DeEssers (Auto-Tune Vocal DeEsser) and even offline deessers (RX, Spectralayers) - and you get lost pretty fast. They all "great" by their description. But which one is the best? Would be AMAZING if you would make a video on this topic updated for 2024!
Wow I didn't realize this about 500 hz. Normally I cut there because it seems to eliminate that boxey sound. You think it is better to add there for vocals?
Thanks for watching! I usually cut it as well for the same reason - since most singers perform closer to the mic it's usually present already, but if you're finding the vocalist is harder to understand, a small boost can help! SageAudio.com

What do you use for your high end for air ?

Amazing, this video is pure gold
Very good vid, but which technique should we apply - all of them? =)
that wholly depends on the track, these are just tips foryou to pick and chooswhen the situation arises. Need more depth? follow the Neve depth tip!
What setting do you suggest starting at to emulate the neve portico depth and wide functions? Don't wanna over do it.
Thank you for the great class!
This is dope 👌
