This was a great one, you should ask Michael White [mixing with mike] to do a gem like this one. Bless
As one of the producers of this song its such a treat to hear a breakdown and approach to mixing it. Thank you PA and Adam!
Probably., this is the best video of a mix engineer describing their approach and the techniques that they use. Great job!
That's really great feedback. Thank you so much!
Felt the same way. This is next level insights.
I strongly agree with this too!
Very much so. This very good.
Thank you so much :)
This man is such a master at his craft. I got to be his assistant a few years ago and I was amazed at how detail-oriented his workflow is. Amazing tutorial, Adam!
You’re a star, Danny !
Adam is such a great teacher. Thank you for organizing this lecture PA!
Our pleasure. Thanks for the nice feedback!
Thank you so much :)
Best mixing masterclass ever!
This is an amazing masterclass. Mr Moseley explains everything so clear and to the point!!! Please do more videos with him. THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you so much :)
So happy PA made this video tutorial. Adam was my mentor a few years back and I learned so much from him. Rock on bro!!!!
I didn't think the bx_digital V3 on the master would do so much, but wow...amazing 👏🏻👏🏻
"First I was afraid... I was petrified" - instant like! 😄 But seriously, great tutorial.
Thank you so much :)
Fantastic video, Adam. Your relaxed and artistic approach and your very articulate explanation of every move you make has educated me like no other video I've watched (and I've watched way too many). This is art if you'll let it be, and you let it be.
"I hope you find this useful". This was beyond useful. Absolutely fantastic and inspiring. Thanks man.
Wouldn't it be even more useful if you could actually download and apply those processes to the same tracks like all the other Mixed with MEGA projects????
Thank you so much ! 😎
Incredible tutorial.
Thank you so much :)
What a great tutorial. I love Adam’s disposition
Thanks for the nice feedback!
Thank you so much ! 😎
Thank you for this excellent resource!😁
Dear Mr. Moseley, how wonderful to listen to your profound insights. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you so much ! 😎
thanks Adam. this was awesome!
Thank you so much ! 😎
This session brought a lot of depth to the thought processes and ways to achieve a desired result. Excellent! Thank you!
We're glad to hear it helped. Thanks for the wonderful feedback!
Wouldn't it be even better if you could actually download and apply those processes to the same tracks like all the other Mixed with MEGA projects????
@@joelybarish4618
Personally, I am interested in the approach and insights. Tracks to work with is definitely not an issue.
Absolutely amazing video !!! Tank you !!!

Very informative Awesome lessons
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
What a great teacher
Thank you so much ! 😎
Thankyou
This is an absolute masterpiece, thank you @PluginAllianceTV.
Thank YOU for the awesome support!
great mix
Thank you so much ! 😎
He's a very smart person, he knows that the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Class A VCA section sounds just like the new SSL Bus Compressor, so that's why he uses it in tandem with the channel strip to get the full SSL sound. This video is a gem.
Wouldn't it be even more of a gem if you could actually download and apply those processes to the same tracks like all the other Mixed with MEGA projects????
Thank you so much :)
Thank you so much ! 😎
This is the first time I've seen a pro mixer demonstrate mixing through a mastering compressor, which is my approach as well. Glad to see I'm not alone! Really appreciate the detail of the insights shared in this video. Love the idea of automating the sends to EQs for different parts of the song.
Thank you so much :)
Thank you so much ! 😎
….keep thinking I could never life without you by my side …
Thank you so much ! 😎
thank you.. master belongs at the start ;-)... GREAT video!.. finally a real mixing video with real world knowledge and experience
Thank you so much :)
That was great 💯
Thank you so much ! 😎
Adam helped me learn so much.
😎
This is very good. I own all the Plugin Alliance plugins used in this tutorial. Thanks you.
That's great to hear. Cheers for the nice feedback!
Thank you so much ! 😎
tysm for this video!
I took so much from this ahhhhhhhhhh this is amazing
We're really glad to hear that. Thanks for the great feedback!
Thank you so much ! 😎
Great video l really enjoyed it. I love PA plugins. I have replaced most of my Waves plugins with PA. The Brain worx plugins are especially good.
That's really great feedback and a wonderful compliment for the developers. Thanks for the nice support!
Very helpful for home recordists Thanks
Most welcome, thanks for the nice feedback!
Thank you so much ! 😎
7:37 I laughed so hard, so funny. :D
Excellent video!
Thank you so much ! 😎
Love this tune. Has this song been released yet? I can't find it anywhere.
This guy produced some of my bands album in 1991 at Jacobs Studio !
Hey Bud ! Thank you so much ! 😎
@@adam_moseley Frontier was the band!
@@budgreenwood9359 Oh yes ! Amazing Bud. Thanks for reminding me :)
I instinctively said "I was petrified" before Adam did. Then when he did, I lit up!! Wonderful tutorial! Thank you
You're so welcome. Thanks for the nice feedback!
Thank you so much ! 😎
Great video. I'd love to hear his approach on setting up vocal effects!
Thank you so much ! 😎Join my mix course ? :)
It would never occur to me to use the B-15 amp plug on a suitcase piano, great idea! I have that amp plug, and can also vouch for how accurate and great it is. I had an SVT many years ago, and I still remember the way those Ampegs would make your (or at leas my) molars rattle on the low notes, even when played at lower volumes. And yup, this plug gave the same "molar rattle"! It's compatible with UAD interfaces, so I can put in the Unison slot and it sounds even better.
We're glad to hear the magic is working. Thanks for the amazing feedback and sharing your experience!
Thank you so much ! 😎
I very much like how you think of the big picture and the basic overall structure before even starting. Also, how you think of the song and individual sounds visually.
Thank you so much ! 😎
This would have been nice with a classic rock band
Maybe the next one :) Join my mix course !
26:20 where is the latency comes from? I don't have that with any PA plugin, except with the delay2500 of course. I used the SPL attacker also, but I changed to the Elysia Nvelope plugin, in my opinion you can fine tune that better. But the SPL is also great. As a key-player myself, it always takes me how low a synth bass can go. The Refinement is also an amazing plugin, even on full range material. Great work and production and song.
Thanks for the great feedback and letting us know!
🙏🏼
thank you for the tutorial. is the multitracks available to download?
Due to the low number of Plugin Alliance users that have downloaded past multitracks, combined with the challenges of clearing samples for distribution, not all Mixed with MEGA projects will be downloadable moving forward. On a positive note, this frees us to work with a wider variety of producers like Adam, feature a more diverse selection of music, and publish these Mixed with MEGA videos more frequently.
Alright then. I would personally suggest to leave the multitracks but provide the MIXING TEMPLATE the producer used. This way we are able to keep elements of the mix that suits our own mixes and manipulate the rest accordingly! Thanks alot for your loyalty PA 🙏🏽❤️
@@jankooiman6460Great suggestion. Thanks for the idea!
What brand and model of headphones are on the desk?
that dust on the desk triggers me :))
At 5:35, what plugin is that to show the eq curve?
I'd like to ask a question.
Why the Kick is stereo,not mono?
Thanks!
Beautiful song. Unfortunately I can't find it outside of this video. 😕
What make and model are those headphone's?
Hello Plugin Alliance team,is there a possibility that you add oversampling option to ssl 4000e channel strip? Thanks
All analog modeled plugins “made by BX” apply oversampling internally whenever it is necessary. We are typically not simply oversampling the whole plugin, as this would increase the CPU/DSP load unnecessarily in most cases. Especially on DSP systems, where a plugin always has to prepare for the worst-case DSP load this wouldn’t be great. The same would be true for plugins like our SSL console emulations, which get used on dozens of channels in many mixes. CPU/DSP efficiency is key here. The way our system works is that we basically make sure that any crucial part of analog modeled circuits run with a sample rate of at least 176Khz internally.
I have bought lots of your Channel-Strips but I cant find any information where I place them on a track.
Do I place the VST instrument then the channel strip then the effects after OR do I place them at the end such as VST instrument, effects then channel strip?
As I'm finding this really confusing I have been asking people on TH-cam but its crazy as no one seems to know the answer I'm just hopping maybe @Plugin Alliance can help me.
Maybe it would make a nice future video so your customers are not confused with it all?
Place the instrument first I’d suggest
While there are no "rules," many producers like using our channel strip plugins to recreate a hardware mixing workflow. Tradtiionally, you'd record an instrument through a console and use its built-in effects (EQ, compressor, etc.), then apply outboard effects (reverb, delay, etc.), and record the final result into your DAW. Recreating this with one of our channel strip plugins would look like this: VST Instrument > Channel Strip Plugin > Effects. You can apply effects directly to the track or in parallel without straying away from a hardware mixing workflow.
In some situations, it makes sense to apply effects beforehand. For example, if you're using a guitar VST without built-in pedal and amp effects, you might want to apply some guitar effects before running the signal through a channel strip; this would mimick the process of recording an amped up guitar through a console which is quite common. Having said this, feel free to get creative and experiment with applying processing in any order that inspires you.
@@PluginAllianceTV WOW thank you so much, that's the information I have been looking for in such a longtime, it now makes more sense to me. I will try the ways you have described. Thanks again now I can finally have some fun with your plugins I have bought from you as I have so many to try.
🎉
I'm left wondering what kind of computer and interfaces he's using to have access to all those plug ins...
All of the plugins in the video are Plugin Alliance products, which are compatible with both PC and Mac. They also don't rely on the DSP from an audio interface to run. You can demo the plugins in the video for 30 days by starting a free MEGA Plan trial: plugin-alliance.com/mega
12:37 no, he boosted 6k, cause 10k is attenuation freq
12:33 that pulteq is not boosting at 10k....
You need to accurately hear what you're mixing right? How do I do that in my tiny spare DIY treated spare bedroom? Thanks.
Use headphones
Depending on the severity of your room-related issues, you might be better off mixing/mastering with headphones. The position of your speakers, desk, acoustic treatment, and listening position all have an affect on what you hear. Another key consideration is the thickness and absorptivity of your acoustic treatment. A poorly treated room can result in comb filtering, flutter echo, excessive decay times, and room modes that lead to an unbalanced bass response.
While mixing/mastering with headphones has some drawbacks, like the absence of acoustic crosstalk, it voids room-related issues. We have a great video about mastering with headphones featuring Glenn Schick that you might be interested in: th-cam.com/video/9somtZ1FZTI/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Please give me the name of the mixer??
Now, update your plugins to work on 4k monitors, cause its impossible to work with tiny UI!
Maximum respect for this gentleman, but in this video, he hasn't mixed anything.
No surgical EQing on vocals??
this track dont need to!
this track dont need to!
5 minutos comentando el numero de bus donde pone los efectos🥴
Only thing I don't like is her pitch. Mix is awesome.
Why do the drums on these "modern" tracks always sound like a paint brush on a biscuit tin?
To keep track loud
those BD moves.. inaudible to me.. I would not have used them. But to each his own
Wasn't the whole point of Mixed with MEGA for users to be able to download the multitracks????????? PA is circling the drain lately.
Due to the low number of Plugin Alliance users that have downloaded past multitracks, combined with the challenges of clearing samples for distribution, not all Mixed with MEGA projects will be downloadable moving forward. On a positive note, this frees us to work with a wider variety of producers like Adam, feature a more diverse selection of music, and publish these Mixed with MEGA videos more frequently.
@@PluginAllianceTV Garbage excuse. Congrats, you just took another perk away from MEGA bundle subscribers. Thanks so much!!!
GREAT mix. However, on the PEX-500, rather than boosting 10k, you were actually boosting 6k. If you look to the immediate right you'll see various frequencies in the 'HIGH FREQUENCY' area - which ranger from 3k to 15k. If you want to attenuate 10k through 20k, you would use the top-most attenuation knob. This also confused me a bit years ago.
That said, again, SOLID mix. 🎛🎧🎶
