    best advert / interview i’ve seen in a long time 👍
    mr. Wells lays it out in such an elegant manner & the calm reminder that it’s so personal, what makes a mix work…
    & McDSP are truly innovators, bringing new and exciting ‘ cooking tools ‘ to our audio kitchens ✅
    this is food for thought ❤

      I was about to write the same thing! Very good interview and very well explained!

    I just realised I'm the same age as Greg and also moved to LA the same time to try and break into the music scene. In my case it didn't work out. I still remember one offer to paint someone's house and provide the paint and in return they would get my resume to a studio exec. The houses ain't small in LA either. I never took the offer and left LA quite demoralised after 6 months. It's a city full of everyone all chasing their dreams and trying to make it but only a small percentage do. I'm glad I had the experience though. There's a good chapter for a book just about those 6 months if I ever write it.

    The Greg Wells vocal plug-in is a game-changer! Respect to 'Waves' for making this available to the small-fish with GarageBand. BRAVO and thank you. 👍🏻🇬🇧

    Whats the name of the best in the box guy? Serben?

      Serban Ghenea, one of the best! And maybe he might be referring to this mix : th-cam.com/video/eddbsFE62Y0/w-d-xo.html there's a different mix on the album but Serban's mix was release as a bonus if I remember correctly. Fun to compare the 2 versions

    Wouldn't you think Colin would start offering some of his original Plugins for free now that they paid back his inventive genius?

    Do you think Adele would be interested in my song Angel in the Night?

    Another famous mixing engineer that's gonna say how these plugins are great, when in reality he's using top-of-line outboard gear in a professional studio?

    • @oneeyeupradio6789
      @oneeyeupradio6789 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      While there are still just a few things one might prefer analog for, for the most part many engineers just prefer analog for the physical and visceral experience of touching the gear- being able to move multiple knobs at a time, and mixing with the ears not the eyes on the screen. Experience/feel/focus. Digital really does meet and in some ways, exceeds the capabilities of analog hardware, definitely doing more than what you need to make records of any style and level of quality. Just learn the physics of audio and acoustics, and music theory and juat be creative. Plugins are a great gift.

      @@oneeyeupradio6789 I've been recording professional for more than 30 years, and I can tell most of these plugins are just gimicks that don't do any difference to the sound.
      That's why we use outboard gear.
      These videos are just ads, to make believe it's possible to achieve the same with $50 plugins.

      @@PedroMiguel-if3ll 20 years in myself. I make my own plugins, personal use, non commercial. I totally agree the vast majority are snake oil crap, that said, what we need is already available. As example, what makes an ssl emulation is it's signal chain. the shape of it's filters, the filter side chain, the compression ratio, the subtle saturation. Most of the popular ssl plugins from various companies nail what makes the ssl the ssl. Most fairchild plugins compress in the same way the hardware does. Sure there are many non linearities that treat the transients in a subtle way, but emulations are only improving. I am a bit esoteric, so I think there is magic in not digitizing a waveform- but this is not what most people are listening for and what makes a great mix is it's overall geometry. Totally attainable in the box.

    He can talk all day long. The APB is way too expensive period.

      @Five2nd 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Yes I can’t afford it either, but that doesn’t make it too expensive. The profit margin is probably razor thin and it’s a machine designed for people who make serious money doing what they do. You’d never say “that John Deere Tractor is a rip off!” Because you don’t want a tractor. You want an APB. And you can’t have it. 😛

      I did a comparable cost of outboard 500 series gears I will need and APB was 3 times cheaper and more flexible especially considering the components used in the box. Most people purchase 500 series one or two at the time and don't feel the big expense until they realize they have invested big. For that matter if you also add all the emulation plug-ins you will realize APB to be a better choice. The only thing on APB is that it's a big bang getting all the analog gears packaged and may feel too expensive in the beginning. I am considering to sell few 500 series as a way to offset and justify APB. Part of the reason is the convenience of inserting a plug-in vs turning on devices patching ables and running to print and if later during the mix I may have to do the same.
