You're on fire with the mind reading. I was just learning this the other day thinking to myself, "I hope the In the Mix guy does this". These stock plugin tutorials you're putting out are just golden. Thank you for being awesome!
I love how you apologise for one tiny mistake. Just shows how much you care about your channel and about not wasting our time. Quality channel right here. And by the way we forgave you before the mistake was even made!
It's my first comment here. Cause I'm from an African french speaking country. But thank you guy for giving high quality content like these. Helps me a lot ( as a beginner ). And I apply it to the genre I'm producing. Still learning.
That, folks, is quality assurance.. He went and watched his whole video first, looked out for mistakes, fixed it, before releasing to public. Good job on that, Michael. Again, thank you for making complex tools easy to understand.
as always, its amazing how much you can still learn even though you thought you had it mastered. I have been using maximus for YEARS now as a mastering tool and compressor in general. Still, even I learned stuff I didn't know about before. I'm not overexaturating when I say that this is propably the best producing tutorial channle in this whole platform. have been recommending you to my friends and clients for quite a while and will keep on doing it. amazing content.
Bro, just wanted to let you know that you're my go-to for any FL Studio tutorials. Always very clear and thorough. You have a natural gift for teaching. Thanks for helping others the way you do.
I come back here every now and then , whenever I forget something, cause there's so many things Maximus does. Hands down the best tutorial out there. You helped A LOT !
Honestly knowing how to use maximus has made arguably the greatest difference to my development. It really is that "missing piece", used for picking up the bottom of the mix, and doing it in style. The stereo separation is great, it would be good to have panning per band also.
It is easy to take videos like yours and many others for granted, because of how fast paced life is with the internet. Just wanted to say thank you for making this playlist. Great work!
Another great tutorial man. I've learned so much from you! Bro, I am not gonna lie to you I would kill somebody just to see a video of you mixing and mastering a song from the very begining explaining every move that you make. Even if that video was like 2-3 hours I would still watch that.
For the first time in a video, I didnt learn anything directly but somehow getting Michael's fresh look at it does inspire me to use it differently, to re-evaluate how my understanding hasn't changed in these last 5 years or so. Thank you michael!
The multiple curves compression thing was amazing! I've never heard or thought of it. I guess it can be used as a compressor, a noise gate, and even a transient processor at the same time. Maximus is such a powerful tool
And as a waveshaper when the attack, sustain and release are on 0. That's the only difference between fruity waveshaper and maximus... so 3-band saturation/distortion, exciter that is. Kinda freaking cool! I pretty much use maximus for all tracks
nenissaK have been using the saturation on fruity limiter with the attack release and sustain on 0 and didn’t exactly know what it was doing it was jus something I did by accident but now I know it’s using it as a waveshaper. Thanks 🤙
I actually Taught my self on how to use Maximus But Michael has Cleared my creativity by giving me more tips and now am becoming a better sound engineer daily. Much Love from Kenya
Around the 3 minute mark, you were describing the colors of the bands. I noticed you also gave the colors that the color blind might see. I am not color blind, but respect for looking out for everyone 👍 Subtleties like that tell me you're a good person. Cheers!
Maximus is a crazy super creative saturator! Play with low part of triangle on bass, it can produce super special harmonics and add a lot of flavour to your bass
*Future Michael speaking* I love how even when making mistakes you manage to teach us something: mistakes are not a problem. Actually I quite love the graph of maximus now - the reading input and output is kinda easier to understand than other compressors where you have to know what a dial does and then kinda imagine what will happen when you turn a knob.
I use maximus but I didn't knew anything about it in detail. I only used it either for Mastering presets, deeser preset or give a mono background track fake stereo effect by separating the bands in three different inserts. Thanks for going into detail. I think I will use this plugin more than before from now.
It's impressing how your video are just perfect, in all point. I'm from the french part of Switzerland and your english is very clear too. Please continue like this.
Man... you give your 100% to your videos and maintain the quality which shows your hardwork. I liked the video first ...then watch it😎..You are #1 of the best TH-camrs I have seen 😘.. keep going👏
Thanks a lot Michael! I saw this tutorial 3x, and every time I learn something new. You changed for better my productions. I desire all success for you!
Thanks for the tutorial! I actually already used Maximus a lot, but I didn't knew about the sustain part so I'm really glad you mentioned all knobs about this plugin :D
I love this channel! Even when I'm familiar with a plugin I always watch these videos because they're presented so well, and there are a lot of great tidbits throughout
I'd like you to know that, in my opinion, you've got incredible teaching skill. Regardless of it being complex or not for my level of understanding, I actually understood everything. Thanks for sharing such skills and knowledge with us.
The dynamics graph has helped me so much with shaping percussive sounds to match the song. The saturation algorithm on Maximus and Fruity Limiter are great if you learn how to use them
I have used Maximus since I started. Always thankful for more insight. Disappointed you didn't go more into 'maximizing' but in the tyle of music you work with I understand. In my 'epic orchestra' stuff I use some maximizing on the master channel 99.9% of the time. It is definitely one of the 'secret sauce' settings in that genre IMO. Thanks again Michael!
I needed this video. I'm trying to get back into understanding stock more. Been on FL since 2005. Always resorted to third party plugins. You make me wanna use Maximus now. Thank you brother.
This is it. one of the best IL plugins ever. There's really nothing quite like it. After a few months of learning and experimenting with it (after avoiding doing that for years) Maximus is now indispensable for me for countless tasks throughout sound design, mixing, bus processing and mastering. Slapping on a preset (which I used to try) really doesn't do maximus justice. I feel it's a plugin you really have to know well and experiment with to get the most out of. It is so much more than simply a limiter or loudness maximization (which it also does brilliantly IF you really know how to get the most out of it). Maybe my favorite plugin of all time.
Thank you very much 🙏 could you make a video on how people should begin learning to know when plugin (compression/transient/reverb etc.) to use, if you want to get a certain sound
Hat's off to you sir Max... I really appreciate this video! This video feels special nd spooked me because don't know if you saw my exact request from last weeks video on sytrus sound design lol. Thank you!
You didn't even mention how to make smooth curves using the tension (the thingy between dots) and I almost always want my compression to be smoooooth! Great video Michael
i used to just browse your videos but I've decided to be one of your Subscriber. love from Zimbabwe. 💯 Imageline should endorse you bruv coz you're great.

Thanks dude!
can find me someone to mix my cover songs plzzz
Thank bro I need it🤟🤟
Bro ur smart af where did you learn all of this?
Great Vidéo!👀🎶🔥
Me with 4 months of experience.
Opens Maximus on master.
Selects clear master preset.
Job done.
Job Done!
better yet, just use soundgoodizer and you can skip the third step
LMAO, i do the same every single time
I used to use the "Max Loudness 2", as it did a good job at hiding how badly mixed my track was 😂
@@kingbingbong1920 Fun fact: Soundgoodizer is actually powered by maximus
You're on fire with the mind reading. I was just learning this the other day thinking to myself, "I hope the In the Mix guy does this". These stock plugin tutorials you're putting out are just golden. Thank you for being awesome!
It’s great when this happens! It makes me feel useful :)
@@inthemix all of the TH-cam thanks you lol
In the mix guy lol , his name is Micheal.
@@rij2392 I know but it was funnier that way.
@@Mike_Wazowskii7 I can relate I sometimes remember him as nice hair guy but have to admire his work ethic and professionalism .
I love how you apologise for one tiny mistake. Just shows how much you care about your channel and about not wasting our time. Quality channel right here. And by the way we forgave you before the mistake was even made!
Maximus is maybe the best plugin in fl. It's essentially a three-band parallel everything
Mastering is such an important yet overlooked topic. Thanks for this Michael!
This is where I need the most help.... so I'm soaking up mastering
@@dellzshotbeats9163 me too, but most people forget the mix is more important than the actual master, crap mix is a crap master imo! 🤓
@@Metalthijz correct
We all make mistakes but not everyone bother to fix them like you did! Cheers Mike, keep up the good work!

Bro, just wanted to let you know that you're my go-to for any FL Studio tutorials. Always very clear and thorough. You have a natural gift for teaching. Thanks for helping others the way you do.
Like seriously, I recommend this guy for anyone who is a beginner in fl studio. Any aspect of the DAW is well explained by him❤️.
The simplicity with which you teach everything is simply mind-blowing !!
I come back here every now and then , whenever I forget something, cause there's so many things Maximus does. Hands down the best tutorial out there. You helped A LOT !
This guy is probably the best Teacher for beginner music producers to learn everything basic to master.
Very well explained!
as always
Should hire him
Dude!!! This is easily the most comprehensive foundation-forming DAW Tutorial Series ever! Real Talk.😎
I just slap the clear master RMS preset and call it a day 😂
lool that's me asf... whichever preset works that's it for me.
who the hell doesn't slap clear master rms on lmfaooo
Job done
I do this on my drums individually to make them pop more in the mix
The Slam amp master, NY compression or Breakbeat slam presets can be very cool on breakbeats.
Finally I've always wanted to learn this plugin, thank you so much Michael.
He’s the best
Was just searching your TH-cam channel for a Maximus tutorial last night and boom here it is! Amazing channel man. Thanks so much!

Woah buddy woah😂
Maximus is one of my favorite plugin along with span, loudness meter, imager and REVERB!
I literally just played around with the different bands trying to get rid of boomyness in my voice and it sounds so much better. Thank you Maxiumus.
Thank you for everything you do I love these in depth videos on each stock plug in.
For the first time in a video, I didnt learn anything directly but somehow getting Michael's fresh look at it does inspire me to use it differently, to re-evaluate how my understanding hasn't changed in these last 5 years or so.
Thank you michael!
Does he literally have a tutorial for absolutely EVERYTHING?! This guy is insane 🙏🏼

Maximus has a surprisingly large library of presets.
It's my first choice for plugins on my mixer tracks.

I use maximus but I didn't knew anything about it in detail.

This one is 100 legit, im not even a bot saved my life when i already finished editing thumbs up!
I'm currently producing for a remix contest, and this tutorial is a huge help for me. You're a modern-day hero, Sir Michael! Thank you very much!
I am just here for your voice, it’s like therapy
It's impressing how your video are just perfect, in all point. I'm from the french part of Switzerland and your english is very clear too. Please continue like this.
I was literally waiting for you to drop maximus tutorial...thanks a lot :)
Man... you give your 100% to your videos and maintain the quality which shows your hardwork. I liked the video first ...then watch it😎..You are #1 of the best TH-camrs I have seen 😘.. keep going👏
In the mix uploads one video and then I am one step better. Thanks mate!
Thanks a lot Michael!
I saw this tutorial 3x, and every time I learn something new.
You changed for better my productions.
I desire all success for you!
I believe I'm watching for the 5x for now. I'm never satisfied with my final masterings.
All of this guys tutorials are THE BEST. That is all.
Thanks for the clarifying the threshold and ratio of maximus, I understood the one for fruity limiter only
These types of videos is why i have notifications active! Thank you so much!
you're one of the few youtubers where I press like before I watch the video because I know it will be good!
Thanks for the tutorial! I actually already used Maximus a lot, but I didn't knew about the sustain part so I'm really glad you mentioned all knobs about this plugin :D
You are a legend. Your videos are so useful, especially the recent ones.
To be honest, I was camping for this video without knowing if you were going to make it. Thank you for making it!
youre the greatest to ever do fl tutorials thank you
Its fun how micheal is making such soft nice pop songs but most of his subscribers making hard edm bangers but hes still teaching is soooo much💞
I used maximus on almost all of my masters....and today I really got to know about the power of this plugin
I love this channel! Even when I'm familiar with a plugin I always watch these videos because they're presented so well, and there are a lot of great tidbits throughout
also that spectogram and linear phase button was mind blowing!
I'd like you to know that, in my opinion, you've got incredible teaching skill. Regardless of it being complex or not for my level of understanding, I actually understood everything. Thanks for sharing such skills and knowledge with us.

I can't stop watching your videos!!! Awesome work!!!
Man, this guy is truly a blessing.
Wow!!! Had no idea maximus offered this. Thank you so much for the tutorial.
You've made me develop a bad habit, I often like your videos before watching them. And when am finally done, I just wanna like again.
Glad you made the perfect video on us!!👊💥
Dafuq🤣🤣🤣🤣
Huh?
every time i master a new song i come back to this vdo. goat youtuber thank you

I usually set the profile to Clean RMS especially for classical piano plugins. Thanks for the video man!
Best mix and mastering channel on youtube. Keep up good job bro.
Brilliant. Articulate, precise, excellent delivery and ability to highlight salient points. Cudos!
I was really looking for very long time for a dedicated video on maximus on youtube. Thank you Michal for your help.you are doing great job.
!!! HOW’D U KNOW I NEEDED THIS. U RELEASED THIS RIGHT ON TIME OMG
I always use Maximus for the lo-fi setting on individual instruments. With a little tweaking it can make almost anything sound cool as hell.
I am getting use to it 😅... Like you really gotta dive in and try it from all the videos... Best teacher
I needed this video. I'm trying to get back into understanding stock more. Been on FL since 2005. Always resorted to third party plugins. You make me wanna use Maximus now. Thank you brother.
Finally understand the compression now! Thanks!
11:19 this is why I like your videos. The future Michael was a good add
You come across as a genuinely good bloke, glad your channel is growing nicely.
Maximus is great but the dynamic graph is what kept me from using it. This video def helped me out with that. Always dropping gems.
Thank you so much I didn't use maximus because I thought it was too complecated but now I think i've totally understanded it
Thanks for this new playlist, appreciate the concern for we small creators
Exactly what I needed. Been using Maximus for a while now but haven't watched videos on it really
*Awesome tutorial. In the Mix, you're the Best!!*

ive been watching your videos for a while now , i just want to say you are amazing in what you do . big help at all times
Your tutorials are just so helpful and easy to understand.... THANK YOU! I’ve learnt everything in fl studio just by watching your tutorials!
TY for these videos. The way you explain stuff is clear and easy to catch on to.
It sounded literally so cool with the low band in solo mode
This channel always brings the best class
Thank you very much 🙏 could you make a video on how people should begin learning to know when plugin (compression/transient/reverb etc.) to use, if you want to get a certain sound
Dang. I've been using this all wrong! I thought I knew what I was doing but I learned so much more from this!!
Now that I think of the dynamics graph as a function graph, it seems a whole lot easier than before.
Hat's off to you sir Max... I really appreciate this video! This video feels special nd spooked me because don't know if you saw my exact request from last weeks video on sytrus sound design lol. Thank you!
