Hella yuck my peopel need to learn how to consolidate with protools lol dont get at me cause i was a protool genius in my day but these new jacks be using a sterio track for everything lol i use to teach people back in the days how to use protools and the 2 things i made sure i teached them wad to alwsyw save and consolidate the tracks after to make new regions from start to end of thr timeline them get rid of the chopped up mess they made now you will have a clean timeline and not the files or whole song folder is now smaller to save and transport lol protoold hd got that spoiled. For those who want to clown i was the 1 that saved thr hit factory when thr mac g5 came out and protools didnt work with it but the h factory got rid of sll the g4s so thdy was dead in the water they called all types of people to fix it and none of them could fix it cause it couldnt be fix lol so i was last and i knew somethint none of them seem to know cause they couldnt read or something the the g5 and protools was not going to work at that time so thr fix was i had to get them back g4s i told them if its not broke dont fix it make new rooms with the new trash so u test it out lol i am happy i am not in thr game and over music now i been using protools from the start my fav was the digi001 and g4 os9 i still have full sydtems of them stored up why cause i loved it and its for history keeping. 1 love to all the real gear heads out there Ameer Reemabeets truthseekerAi A.i taurus426 nyc soundcloud.com/ai-ri5
Thanks Ken for that session full of valuable tips and advice as always. Been going through your lessons alot recently and things are starting to click. My mixing is definitely starting to improve now. Cant recommend your tutorials enough!
Hi Ken, this is a very interesting and well explained upload, thank you. I've been using the Venn Quick Haas plugin but the presets don't relate to any of the -100 CENTER +100 increments in my DAW's pan range. So using your suggestions here might be the answer and will let you know! Possibly maths could be used to resolve the m/sec values using the RT formula. What are your thoughts on using maths to resolve compressor values such as Threshold, Ratio Knee, Gain, Attack & Release derived from the BPM value?
I would say headphones would make the most sense for the Haas effect. With speakers, the audio from each speaker DOES reach the other ear, and it does so with a delay, so an additional delay, I would mostly result in somewhat less clarity, and risk of creating a notch or comb effect in the mono downmix. With headphones, you lose sound-stage because you don't have the effect of ear shape and head size. So to regain sound-stage, you have to do some forms of head modeling, and I would put the Haas effect in that category. I still use it now and again, but it's generally something you can't do everywhere without it causing some weird effects on other equipment.
I remember watching Ken and learning the world of music production. We released our first song although still instrumental but still was a tough to balance the frequencies and resonance of glass piano. If any one likes music to calm down or get your pets to sit down.

I had a similar problem, used HAAS to put a kick "right", mono was full of phasing, then I decided a reverb of the whole thing and BAM, the mix was a catastrophe... Did not manage to resolve this problem yet by myself.
@@z1reticuli Don´t use it on kick? The slower the waveforms the easier our ears will figure out that the phase is out. It´s a no no on the bass as well. Maybe try to take this course again? He clearly says it is great on pads a lot, this makes sense.
nasiha nawab what’s your budget if you want something to start with audio technica at 2020 can do the job it’s around 85 pounds or 90 dollars roughly With usage anyone who wants to advise you will need to know what purpose you gonna use it for podcast,singing,voiceovers etc and what sort of space will it be treated or not etc Thanks Good luck
Took me 8 years to find this & it's helped me more than most of these online tutorials....Ken is a real gem, thanks for sharing your knowledge. You are appreciated sir! =)
This is epic, remember listening to 50 all the time back in the early 2000's. Thanks for sharing this Ken, appreciate all your knowledge. Peace + Love =)
