    whoever it was in fabfilter that decided to make Dan Worrall do all of their plugin videos deserves to be CEO of the world

    Dan, you consistently put out some of the most high yield and insightful tutorials out there. Thank you for taking the time to do these...they're on another level compared to most videos on here and it's greatly appreciated

    You could explain this type of information to some people a thousand times, but it will still take them 10 or more years to fully understand without having to be reminded. I'm one of them. I've been privately studying audio/recording for over 25 years and I still don't fully understand it all. Some of it is just mind boggling. Thanks man..

  • @BabyWavv
    @BabyWavv 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    OMG THANK YOU ! I've been killing my mixes with no dynamics and phasing issues this is a lifesaver I never knew why I was inverting the phase or what it even was. Most tutorials on youtube are a bunch of bedroom preset junkies that's don't really know what they're doing just know a few words and use them in a way that gives the illusion of perceived knowledge... I'm no professional but I'm sure I understand a lot more than I show. in this game, it's not what you know is how you use it!

    utterly outstanding video considering it came from the official source, which shouldnt be surprising but I see so many official channels out there with less than stellar tutorials, or are too boring to watch. these are the BEST out there. thanks so much Dan and FabF!!

  • @xaosnox
    @xaosnox 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Fun to walk down memory lane and see who FF plugs have progressed. I wish I could just have 2% of Dan's wisdom. Utterly brilliant man!

  • @claesweicher223
    @claesweicher223 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Legendary videos! I'd wish that many other plugin manufacturers made just as well produced product showcase+tutorial like you guys do! You get shown what the product is capable of and how to use it which is something a lot of other showcases lack!
    In most cases with other manufacturers you just get slammed a plugin in your face and get told "look how pretty and powerful this is, now please buy it, and oh let other consumers do the explaining on how to use it"
    I've recently become a big fan of yours! :) Everything seems well thought off.
    And Dan Worrall is the David Attenborough of music in terms of voicing! :D

    I am so stunned. Simply stunned. After years of professional and semiprofessional studio recordings I finally found the key to awesome drumsounds! Thanks Dan - now we have to redo all records :)

  • @kapteinnemo8309
    @kapteinnemo8309 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

  • @mrbsred1
    @mrbsred1 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The videos you make are not only incredibly informative, but the production and attention to detail is the best I've seen. After watching many tutorial videos, I can honestly say that I learn more from these (relatively short) videos compared to some of the long-winded alternatives I have come across. Thank you so much! Fabfilter products are amazing; particularly Pro-Q, Pro-MB, Pro-C and Pro-G. You certainly set the standard!

  • @ZooDinghy
    @ZooDinghy 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    :O standing ovations to Dan Worrall! I can't remember when I last saw such a good tutorial on TH-cam. It is such a pleasure to watch this. This shows that teaching has its own aesthetics. Beautiful!

    This is an AWESOME video. I've been watching a bunch of videos over the last few days about how to do mid/side EQ, but none of them explained why or what is making it work.
    This went into a perfect level of technical details and added a lot of information to my understanding of how to use mid/side processing.
