Lance Prenc shows how stacking multiple clippers can result in a cleaner, more professional mastering sound with metalcore giants Polaris.
NAIL THE MIX is an online mixing school created by Joey Sturgis, Joel Wanasek and Eyal Levi - the guys who produced bands like TDWP, Chelsea Grin, Blessthefall, Machine Head, Monuments, Miss May I, Of Mice & Men, Reflections, Born Of Osiris, Asking Alexandria and dozens more of this generation's best metal bands.
Every month, NAIL THE MIX members get exclusive access to the REAL MULTI-TRACK SESSIONS from a REAL ALBUM, and a 6-8 hour live streaming class from the producer who mixed it. These are the actual sessions by bands like Gojira, Meshuggah, Periphery, Opeth, Fall Out Boy, Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember and more - and NTM is the only place in the world you'll get access to them!
Lance is the master of in-your-face mixes 🙏 so cool that he shows his approach here
All those clippers and still hitting a consistent brickwall -4 db on the Pro L 2 is diabolical lol. I cant deny that it works for this kind of production though
He single-handedly won the loudness wars :)
Nah, Dan Worrall did it first
Lance: I prefer this clipper over JST
Joel being summoned out of nowhere: JST is great you're just using it wrong!
LMFAO
😂😂
A lot of industry professionals in the comments
There is so much compression that my head have a internal bleeding
I've stopped caring about trying to make my mixes as loud as everyone else's. You have to make compromises in order for the mix to not distort and blow up when you put on the clippers and limiters, and it becomes less about good mixing and more about loud mixing, and what's the fun in that? Now I have more headroom to do whatever I want. The thing I was worried about was how much quieter my mixes will be compared to other music in my own library, but I found out about the MP3 Gain program, so I just turned everything else down and it's no longer an issue, and it's great because now all of the analogue recordings before the 90s playback at the same level as digital mixes. Loudness can get hecked, I just wanna have fun mixing again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Newbie here, what’s the LUFS on this? I can’t tell
I think it was -4.0
@aboliguu1168 goddamn
You can def hear the clipping
Yup, but part of the mix tho
He doesn't care lmao
Mix sounded way better with just one clipper.
FYI: this won't work on ballad songs
"StandardClip is designed as a mastering clipper so you need all the extra metering", well no. You need that kind of metering/features in a clipper in mixing context too. JST Clip is just an outdated clipper with no Output Gain, no clipping metering, no ceiling. The excuse of "it's designed as a drums clipper" is a very clumsy/amateurish way of trying to put under the carpet the obvious lack of basic features of a product made by a company sponsoring the video.
I am so amazed watching Joel explain stuff he knows his shit so good. what the hell is dither. lol.
I'm sorry to be a "computer nerd" but stacking clippers makes no sense. A second hard clipper will do the same mathematically as just more db on the first clipper. Also a hard clipper after s soft clipper doesn't make much sense because the purpose of the soft clipping was shaping the the shaved peaks. It's basically irrelevant of you clip those peaks again after that
😂😂😂thats one way to get rid of dynamics lol, sound good though 😂😂😂first time seeing someone seeing an engineer use multiple clippers on the master
zero dynamics
yeah, not sure that's something to be proud of :/ The mix looks awesome and then the mastering destroy everything....
thats the entire point for this style of sound
This is designed to hit us in the face though. Not for everyone.
