    You are literally a wizard. With every single other youtuber, i watch their videos, maybe get a cool ideas, but walk away having experienced some easy listening little idea thing. But THESE VIDEOS MAN. There comes a point in every single video where i have to squint my eyes and go, "what the fuck did he just do? " and then logically and slowly work my way through the steps to understand the chain of transformations taking place. It's like a college lecture or something. But BUT when I'm done and i understand it, it isn't like i walk away with some new idea to mix or something. That eye watering process of concentration and listening fundamentally changes my perspective and adds to my whole understanding.
    It's not like i walk away knowing how to make a cool thing with my toolbox. It's like i learned an incantation to unlock a secret drawer and found an entirely new tool, that upon contact, slightly morphs into my hand in a way that changes how i look at and use all other tools.
    Alright maybe the analogy got a little strained but you get the point. You are the #1 audio engineer mentor for an entire generation of students, young and old. This isn't a trick, this is wisdom. God bless you i hope i can make something so insightful some day

    I figured out a method for Ableton which I feel is relatively simple.
    1. Create Delta send channel (pre-fader). Add desired filters. Send anything that isn't being inverted to this channel (e.g. snare for 500Hz bandpass boost).
    2. Create second "Inversion" send (pre-fader). Add utility and invert polarity on left and right channels.
    3. Set fader on the Inversion channel to -inf (or sends only). Enable send to the delta and set to 0db.
    4. Send anything you wish to notch/cut to the inversion channel. It will then be inverted and sent to the delta channel.
    Hope this helps out.

  • @IDDQDSound
    @IDDQDSound ปีที่แล้ว +73

    That last trick was awesome. I think in the past few vids a lot of people are asking how these filters are different from regular EQs. It just comes down to convenience for me. If I can move a fader to brighten up my mix instead of having to visit 3 EQs on 3 different tracks, or if I can balance my low end using one fader, that’s just way faster than the classic approach.

    • @tz4601
      @tz4601 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      He gave a good explanation for this on the last parallel filters video. Paraphrasing, the advantages are what you said, plus the ability to use non-linearities (assuming a colorful filter), plus the ability to morph between filter shapes.

    • @vAlkemistv
      @vAlkemistv ปีที่แล้ว

      So in that sense, does the simplification of automation give you greater control over the outcome of a mix? Is that just a standard part of 'big picture' mixing that can't be represented quite clearly through youtube tutorial?

    • @IDDQDSound
      @IDDQDSound ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@vAlkemistv I mean I personally think Dan Worrall is quite excellent at representing everything through youtube tutorials haha! I would say something that I've learned is that, if something is hard to do, people won't do it! So for example, There's been ways to use any plugin to do some Mid-Side processing, for a long time, but most people didn't really explore those options, until M/S processing became something you turn on by the press of a button on the plugin interface. So this is similar to that. If I have to work on 3 tracks to get a brighter mix, I may just convince myself that it's bright enough, but a single fader I can move, then it's at least worth trying, even though I may realize that it was bright enough, in which case, a single Command+Z gets me back to where I was :)

  • @petrasbalsys2667
    @petrasbalsys2667 ปีที่แล้ว +164

    Amazing as always!!
    An idea for fellow Ableton users :
    Create a new audio track, set it to "Sends Only", route whichever instrument you want to have an inverted polarity send, add a Utility device, flip the polarity on both L and R, and then use this to feed the parallel filter return bus!!
    Was able to follow along with the video no problem, of course it's a little bit more tedious than on Reaper, but whatever!

    • @gianlucamarchese
      @gianlucamarchese ปีที่แล้ว

      Could work, but inside an AER you'd have to create eg 3 channels: Dry, Signal1 with inverted polarity, Signal 2, then instead of having a single fader to decide the volume of Signal1invpol+Signal2 you'd have 2 volume faders (that you could map to an AER macro though), good call anyway for those working more with inserts than sends.

    • @FoddyFogHorn
      @FoddyFogHorn ปีที่แล้ว

      I only got this to work by:
      Sending the instrument I wanted to stay in phase to the master and also routing it fully to the return track.
      Sending the instrument I wanted to be flipped to an audio track with the phase invert plugin.
      Sending that audio track with the plugin to the master.
      Setting the audio track with the plugin to "In" monitoring mode.
      Putting my phase flip and other effects on the return track.

    my god, what an amazing tip. I really like the idea of construction the channels in a way that the balancing of the mix consists of less and less steps over time. The most common example would be to level multiple percussions relative to eachother, and grouping them for volume control over all of them. This tip takes the concept to a whole new level. I will definitely experiment with this!

    For FL studio users:
    To flip polarity on a send (not flip on the bus itself), sidechain send (send with no volume or shift+route) to a bus of your choosing. Next on the track that you're sending from load up patcher last in your chain and add in a fruity stereo shaper and invert the polarity (use preset or make opposite the sliders on default load up). Now right click the "to FL Studio" output symbol and enable the send you're using output then drag the yellow output flow cable into said output listed. Done :).
    Alternatively can use fruity send with a stereo shaper before it in the chain but makes the home track inverted to without a send before it routing the audio somewhere else to keep the origin signal.

    Dan you are an incredible engineer...
    I come from this geeky/audio-bender way of mixing because it feels amazing to pinpoint the problem, link knowledge together to find a way and solve it.
    Lately I've been experimenting with mixing with composition and layered/change of instruments: if the chorus feels too bloated remove an instrument, a layer (of a certain freq.) or change the phrase... if the bass enters maybe change of kick drum or drum pattern, etc.
    I've found that this usually leads to compositions that I've never thought I can come with and the amount mixing "tricks" are less cause it was kinda mixed by the song itself...
    Of course these techniques are not of one or another, in fact I think can work together amazing.
    Anyway thanks for the videos and sharing your knowledge!

    For FL Studio users: you can use patcher to make all the parallel chains you want. You can use fruity stereo shaper to flip the polarity of a signal. You can also do this in the mixer with sends and polarity flip (little up and down arrows symbol) like in Reaper

    Hello everyone. Dan, thank you for your awesome videos. I'm Studio One user and I definitely have this worked in my DAW.
    1) Send your Synth to Return (FX) channel
    2) Send your guitar to Bus, flip the phase of this Bus, turn fader down, and make pre-fader send to Return(FX) channel.
    3)Enjoy, or do the macros for shortcut.

    Outstanding lesson progression. The last 4 or 5 videos got us used to using the tools and mindset necessary to approach and apply the Delta Channel.
    For Sonar you can create the sends by creating post sends > aux channels. Then the aux channels (which are pole rev-able) can be assigned to another aux channel or a bus. On the bus you must use something like Channel Tools to flip the polarity. I suggest using Channel Tools even if you're on an aux track as the available individual L/R pole revs, mid/side/L/R gain, channel width, and individual delays assignable pre or post encoding, gain, and pan add a whole lot of mojo to that Delta Channel.

    1) A soothing voice for doing naps (eeeh... I meant taking notes! That's it. Yes. Notes & learning all day, Sir.)
    2) A little self-irony to get through the more theoretical sections.
    3) And most important of all: no "Wow! Do you hear that difference?" when there is absolutely zero difference. (thanks for telling us about the Null-Test)
    Keep up the great work!

      I personally disagree. If you watch all Dan's videos in chronological order across the FabFilter channel and this channel, I think you would be able to follow through all the more recent videos. That's what I've just done (it took me 2/3 months to write down notes and absorb the content) but now this video felt pretty obvious to me. I kind of guessed where he was going the whole time. If you think it's too much effort to start from the beginning, my advice would be if you already know the stuff, you'll move fast anyway. But if you don't, that's probably where you would want to spend your limited learning time first. Start with the basics and build your way toward more advanced material. Enjoy the journey!

Put an EQ on the master remove 2 db. Copy the EQ on the snare, boost 2dB. It is like if you did nothing on the snare but cut 2 dB on every other track. It is not rocket science but it works

    Bitwig Users:
    Either create a seperate channel for flipping the phase, or:
    Create a Tool device on the channel you want to send, flip phase L + R if you need to
    Select the device, press Ctrl + G
    Turn down the mix knob of the newly created fx layer to 0
    Send the FX Layer to the filter bus: either expand the channel strip with the little arrow icon to show the the Tool layer and turn up its send, or select the Tool in the FX Layer and turn up the send in the inspector
    This way you can choose the point in the signal chain where your send goes out.

    • @iam-music
      @iam-music ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sure...but the real deal is creativity and its a lot deeper than 2 knobs.... I think you are missing a whole world of implication
      1.WORKFLOW: If you template the above idea and drag and drop the solution...you have trained your brain to use more muscle memory. Muscle memory creates reliance on gut feel rather than looking or thinking about it and this is the real bonus. Ive been mixing for 40 years...these are all little gems to add to the workflow.
      2. DYNAMIC FREQ PIVOT: The low mids generally have the most contention...this is a good alternative to sidechain/trackspacing as its both substractive and additive.
      3. AUTOMATION EASIER: On top of that...being able to simply use a send per target ie a subtract or add, at will, takes a lot of the drudgery out for larger projects as you localise a common tool for global effect; Push/pulling for subtle movement according to context is a very easy action...once again, you can shut your eyes, grab the control and move according to feel...imagine that.
      Speed becomes the essence...its like life drawing, learning to capture and complete in 3 mins vs 30 mins of drawing that is wasted because the weight doesnt sit correctly kind of works as analogy...for me anyway. Peace!
      Or just tweak 2 knobs and the myriad of peripheral that goes with it...either or...but Im thankful for the exposition...Cheers Dan

    @Hermiel ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm pretty clever so I can usually grasp the concept you're explaining much more readily than I can hear it in the examples you provide. In this video, for example, the snare occurs only once or twice in the span of time you allot to the -∞ and unity fader states. That's not enough time for my mind's ear to pinpoint the differences. Also, you tend to talk in between the different states, which is mildly distracting, despite those dulcet tones. (Speaking as a rabid fanboi.)
    You might ask why I don't simply fire up REAPER and try this for myself, and that's a fair question. The sad answer is that while I'd love to do just that, these days, all the time I used to devote to making music is taken up by watching videos about making music and lamenting the fact that I no longer make music. I simply can't spare the time, you see.
    Food for thought.

  • @peterbrandt7911

  • @GaunCochran
    @GaunCochran ปีที่แล้ว

    These tricks are really useful, but once certain elements are grouped together with group processing the null doesn’t work well enough. One solution I came up with is duplicating the drum bus compressor onto all the individual drums but then sidechaining the compressors to the drum bus. It allows for group compression while also making the parallel filters play nice with individual tracks

    As soon as the video started I directly understood where this was going .... Yet I would have never though of this ! It is very clever, and so convenient !
    I think I will use this for the "final" stage of EQing in my mix, to experiment carving frequency slots for diverse instruments. Not only it allows to easily boost vs Carve at different places, but it has also the advantages of being easy to remove and A/B compare..... That is so cool.
    The only downside to me is that it might make stem creation of my projects a bit more tedious.

      @@DanWorrall Hahaha, Yes that is a great idea, but actually, I also use stems when a song is finished for live shows reasons. I typically render one unique multichannel wav file contaning all the stem tracks that groups the project tracks per element (drums, bass, synt, acoutics, main vocals etc).
      Then I create a live project, I import this multichannel stem in reaper and depending on my mood, I add effetcs mapped to midi controllers and/or replace some of the tracks live instruments (microphone inputs with looper pedal or not, drum machines, etc).
      So it does not really fit this application, unless I duplicate the "delta channel" several time and change the routing so that every duplicate doesn't receive several tracks anymore but only one . Also, by doing so, I kind of loose the ability to add a dynamic processor after the band pass filter.
      Maybe you have other suggestions ?

    • @bhaldvok6930
      @bhaldvok6930 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ha I found a solution. It works using "render stem through master". I didn't know it, but this options actually render not only through master, but also with sends. I know it can cause problem with dynamics/saturation that are applied on subgroups but I should be able to manage it.

    To accomplish this, your DAW needs an invert polarity toggle on both the track and the send. If this is missing, you can use a plugin like Flipper to achieve the same. Now you can use any DAW, but I'm not recommending that you should. I prefer to tune each instrument to fit in the mix and this never involves changing exactly the same frequencies. So while this trick is cool and all, I would only use it as an effect, driven by some crazy automation.

    My goodness, Dan is still rocking the old RME MUltiface II converters! Those are over 14 years old..
    Actually, I'm still using a Multiface II with my Win 7 rig; the PCI cards allow for incredibly low latency, and the feature set is awesome. The specs are not a whole lot worse than the newer UFX series (on paper at least - though I'm sure that cumulative improvements in analog circuitry, clocking & filter design make a huge difference).
    Until I need to get a new computer (which is expensive these days), I'll be sticking with the old converter.
    Nice parallel EQ tricks, BTW.

    • @TiagoLeonor23
      @TiagoLeonor23 ปีที่แล้ว

      U can do it with native compressor, audio effect rack and utility. The compressor sidechain can be heard, making it an aux recieve, basically .If you put various chains Inside a rack with a compresseor in each and flip the polarity of the chain you want to invertet. Then you can put all the filters you want
      I've been making some rack presets based on Dan's videos
      I even made a bandpass filter. Abletons Eq doesn't have one, but a rack with a inverted notch in parallel does the trick

    i've been rewatching the parallel filters video series over and over again.
    so brutally phenomenal these techniques are.
    i was wondering, can't we just extend the all pass filter trick by..adding more all pass filter bands? yea, the phase difference caused by the bands will interact with each other and the equivalent target frequency might be a slight bit different from the value show in the plugin, but if we're gonna use our ears anyway...
    So anything you send to this parallel channel with all pass filter bands will get a notch at those frequencies and any track that's flipped and sent would be like band passed? dialing in the fader level of the parallel channel will make it more subtle..
    I guess all this is would be common sense after the video but i just realized it xd, oooh an eq curve that boosts certain freq and cuts the same for others, similar to super separate trick but this time the frequencies are in our control??
