In Ozuna's song with Akon, Ozuna uses two voices in the hook: one normal and one higher pitch. Were these achieved through separate recordings or by duplicating and raising the pitch using a plugin?❤
These will work if you have outboard gear, but all your gona get a Pre Mastering Quality from Plugin Alliance....... You master with Acustica Audio UAD and Kiive Audio unless your really really good with Plugin Alliance Plugins and some really good Analog gear
That first Lexicon Random Hall is actually wonderful ! 😮 I read it is discontinued… how did you get it to work on mac? Which plug version is it and which OS do you use? (I also read since Mojave the presets are wrongly labelled ?) Thanks for your help 🙏
As someone who owns V9 of a bunch of plugins and have been using them for many years, my biggest gripe with the current business model is Waves Central itself. From a practical point of view it makes zero sense to have multiple versions of the same installer. The old V9 Waves Central installer is not working well and it just makes it extra confusing if you happen to own cross-generational plugins. Not to mention that I have had it fail to let me log in on multiple occasions, thus making it even harder to fix any issues when needing to manage my licenses. As for the subscription aspect, at least the company owned up to the screw up, but it also is very odd that they had no clue how unpopular subscription services actually are, especially when they removed the perpetual licenses in the process. It's easily one of the most controversial aspects if you ask any creator in any creative field besides discussions regarding AI.
Engineers seem to make mixing so difficult and tedious. So much information. How can we, that could not afford to go to FullSail or Berkley, mix music on our own? I’ve been mixing for years and I STILL don’t know all of these complicated terms… I just know THIS: never any peaking signals. A/B your song against your favorite song. Get your music to sound as close to them as possible. Period.
Appreciate this one Matt. Got my wheels turning g for sure. Would love to have one like this talking about delays as well. I tend to use short delays for more control and long reverb. And even feed my delays into one or two of my delays, a little goes along way. But I’m sure you could do a better job of explain this combination. Great post always look forward to more.
Though reading/re-reading the technical descriptions of how ‘Gullfoss’ processes signals many times, listening to your explanation was like one of those ‘3-D/Stereogram’ posters…suddenly the ‘hidden image’ just popped out! In hindsight, so simple (conceptually), but for some reason watching the display of ‘Gullfoss’ processing the spectrum just didn’t quite make overall sense until I watched your video…thanks for the assist!
HI matthew !! great tips as usual, where I can listen some of your latest work ? do you have like a spotify/muso playlist or something because I went to you personal website and I think you havent upload any recent music, thanks.
i just cant listen to this genre. literally skipped for this reason again. same genre I cant even stand. can you switch genres from time to time if possible?
I just looked at the Waves Update Plan because I got an email with a "special offer discount" to update it to Waves V15. I really can't see the point in spending £185 GBP on updating for a year... just to get a dual delay added to H Delay (when I already have Soundtoys Echoboy), and a side chain filter on the SSL G BUS compressor!?!? I'm not interested in the Studio verse update to studio rack so, I'm out with the update and DEFINITELY not subscribing!
Thank you very much for the tutorial. What is your approach on multiple tracks? Should we set our reverb per track or create common reverb busses and send all tracks to those in appropriate fractions?
Quite obvious from the beggining. Expensive reverbs give you more transparent sound full of soft highs without overwhelmed mids and lo mids that actually just a noise and masking 80% of your mix so you just have to make it quiter, we have waves for that bs
Lately I’ve been experimenting with using 2 short reverb returns slightly panned left and right and using them to help create a bit of depth and width by varying their amounts on different tracks.
Waves produced the first digital parametric eq in plugin form, the Q series. So they single handed created a revolution in audio processing. They're going to be around for some time. Things will change, the core company, I doubt, is going anywhere.
Although I’ve experimented with combining reverbs and created some nice combinations in the past, I never thought about it so clearly as you’ve explained it here. Loving some of the combinations!! Thanks for your ears, insights and teachings!
