Andrew Scheps' In-Depth Mixing Tips for Scheps Omni Channel 

lol

Anyone can mix a song with waves plugins

Totally lol very nice guy too

@@LilChristo No.

@@LilChristo No.

Lol, yeah, he's a GENIUS...

i believe they are better in conjunction to explain, esp to a beginner as myself. I wouldnt know wth he would be saying about the plug in if he didnt teach the (why and what).

totally! Even just his segments on various podcasts are so frank and insightful! Love him!

@@alienair1748 That is why I like him - its super easy to catch up with him

Exactly, he doesn't take it for granted and you can imagine he really squeezed everything he could out of the development. Mr Scheps you're a gent!

😮

Just one? I was thinking on every channel, literally...

@@johnvcougar I agree...the beauty is, you still only need one!

I thought the same xD

Right someone to teach you something 😅

it definitely is.

Yeah, man-- holy shit

... and pros, alike.

Don't forget Paralell particles.

😂😂😂

I know right? Lol. Andrew is the MASTER!

Me too

Slate is no good?

Lmao how did you not initially see its purpose?

@@supersquare-maybe because Waves kept launching the same plugins with an extra feature and different gui .

Patrick Fouhy never really understood the parallel plugin. What do you like to use it on?

Well, you can use it on almost anything. It's essentially a way to add parallel compression and/or synthesis to the sound. Super easy to use, BUT, it's really easy to over use as well. The four parameters, Air, Bite, Thick and Sub each add their own bit. Air and Sub (if I remember correctly) are more like parallel synthesis, adding harmonic overtones to the frequencies. While Thick and Bite are frequency specific parallel compression. Bite takes the transients and compresses them slowly with a longer release time. Great for making snares pop a bit more. Or getting any sort of faster sound to cut through a bit more. Thick is similar, but for the low end, really adds a nice round bottom end. If used on a snare drum it really fattens it up. On a kick, it add low end support without being boomy. Very round sounding. On a bass guitar these two knobs can really bring out the articulation, of the pick/fingers, while keeping a fat, round bottom end. Air, on a snare drum, just adds a little more polish to the upper end, and really accents the attack of a kick drum. Sub...well, that adds sub harmonics. the cool thing is the parameters play off of one another, so once you figure out how they interact with one another, the better you can dial in a sound. Also, the parameters aren't so extreme that you can't turn it all the way up. On a drum bus, just cranking every dial up to almost full has a dramatic effect but is still a useful effect. (if that makes any sense) It almost begs you to crank a parameter farther than you typically would. The downside, is you don't have much flexibility within the frequencies. I Thiiiiink it just draws from the source for all that information. If you use it on too many parts of your mix, it will make your mix very powerful, but it kills dynamics if used too much (like anything) and since you can't fine tune very much, using it on multiple sources does make your mix sound a little hollow because it's accenting similar frequencies on all the tracks you use it on. If you need an instrument to really pop in the track, Parallel Particles does it nicely, and very very easily.

Patrick Fouhy just replying to compliment your awesome response. Puts my discordant thoughts on it into something that connects the dots and told me a thing or two I didn’t know. Gonna watch his 30 minute explanation video on it now thank you!!

+1.

That's awesome!!

To who? Waves?

@@brianjohnson9802 he should have sent it to me so I can get this

He has said himself in another interview that his does most of his mixing in headphones then will check on speakers. He prefers mixing in headphones so would probably move his hair out of the way. But to answer your question, yes it would

Me too! Crazy right?

@@aarona.dubzperson8245 Absolutely.

The saturation in this video is too subtle. The actual plugin is much stronger, very easy to hear, and goes all the way to overdrive if you crank it up. Andrew is demonstrating an early version of the plugin in this video, so they could have balanced the settings more since. You can try the plugin for a week with a free trial from Waves.

I'M WITH THE LAST GUY WHO COMMENTED. HE'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. THIS THING DRIVES HARD SATURATION WHEN PUSHED.

yes. press ctrl down and you can listen what you are filtering:)

This is exactly what I was thinking. I would buy instantly if it had that. Even better - waves should make all of their console plugins (this one, Cla and the abbey road etc) compatible with the bucket...then you could have a mix bucket and choose which console for each channel. Why haven’t they done that???

I just got mine too. It is VERY GOOD!

Dude! It's really not that hard. Maybe watch the video a few times and try all the options on your own mixes. This plugin is built to address many audio engineering concepts, all in one place. As such, it's a fine toolset. You'll get it. Hey if it takes months to learn, that's value! Try the presets, they are very, very useful.

Yeah, that is BEASTIE!!!! Never saw that before.

Shane Smith its $29 now

Holliday I appreciate you !!! I actually ended up getting it a week after the posting above

Shane Smith lol nice!

Facts

yes, I heard you can....and then maybe you can put another omni insert into the omni that is an insert inside of onmi....and so on, and your CPU is sure to have big fun...lol

Try it out and let us know, there are no rules!

Hi there, our tech support department is open 7 days a week and will be more than glad to assist. Please contact us directly: www.waves.com/contact-us

Great to hear!
