is it possible to use two different fingers on a plugin? For example input and output gain of a compressor to compensate the increasing gain on the output?
I just tested it out and no you can’t - I think the plugins would have to allow multi touch which I guess while you use one parameter you can’t adjust another. The raven console is multi touch - so faders, pan knobs, solos, mutes etc
The big question with slate ie what is the real cost? Seriously I’m asking… how much bottom dollar is that raven and is there a f--ng subscription with the software ever?! Great vid man!
You would need to check the raven software compatibility in the Steven Slate audio website as I don’t think it’s compatible with all daws yet - but seems they are working to have it ready for more daws soon. I’m pretty sure it’s Mac compatible with Logic, Pro Tools and Cubase and Nuendo - maybe more now.. again definitely check the site!
@@spinlightstudios Yeah that would be my only use, inside Ableton on Mac. Just curious if the touch screen is universal. - I havent seen definitive info from them about use without their software.
You can install the raven software which also installs the the multitouch aspect of the screen - I can use the screen as multi touch then without launching the raven mixer/tool bars. But I think you still need to run the installer to get the multitouch gestures etc
I have 2 of these set up with Mixer on one and transport/tracks on the other, the new Raven 4 is really good, way improved flow. I have been using a hybrid style with a kensignton mouse and using macros from apple, but the raven 4 system is now more intuitive and hands on. Batch command s( Macros)are time savers and have a depth to them that is huge. Loving Raven 4 I have had my ravens for 4 or so years.
Based on YOUR set now, do you think starting out with classic mti2 at this time is ok? Mti max is pricey. I’m ready to get a unit to start with. What’s the quality like on your classics? Blurry at all???
I dont find it bad resolution wise, but i am sure if i had 2k or the proposed 4k version it would be clearer, i have no issues at all With plugins it is prob the mixer that looks a bit soft but i don't mind it, certainly the screen response is good and accurate Having had 4.0 for a month or more now, i am coming to grips with batch commands and getting gestures sorted I am committed to using mine as much as possible for tasks and i have made my own batch commands to do things, perhaps others might use apple key commands but once a script is done and committed to a user button its only once touch away
Hey Iain, I’ve been really enjoying using mine! Very cool piece of gear - I find it more useful than my previous controller and doubling as a second screen is a bonus too as I’ve never had room to really set up a second monitor.
I use studio one professional and the V2 controller but was going to go for a studiolive desk to integrate, however about 2 weeks ago the Raven peaked my interest and is compatible. It's great you reviewed it as I genuinely appreciate and trust your opinion on gear and plug ins etc. I think your review has confirmed I'll go for it in the near future. Thanks again.
@@iainwatt5046 thanks Iain. It was super easy to install and get it up and running with Mac/logic - and then like any new piece of gear - it’s just a learning curve and committing to taking the time to get to know the ins and outs of it all!
Hey mate, little bit of an over exaggeration there - feel free to scroll back over the last two months and see all the free unsponsored videos too - mixing rock vocals - aligning out of time audio to a click - one mic song wa251 - mixing drums with stock plugins - vocal tuning in Melodyne - 10 essential plugins - all unsponsored. look I get some people hate sponsored content and it doesn’t matter how many times I say I only take on things I’m interested in and companies that I like - some people still going to hate it cause all they want is tutorials - unfortunately without having mass memberships on YT or patreon to back a channel - the only way to stay viable is to do a mix of sponsored content + if you support a channel you should be glad to see that too because it means they are going to be around longer! I also enjoy making reviews and showing how new products work - how many times have you come to RU-vid to watch a review or tutorial on how something works that you’re interested in. My suggestion would be to ignore the videos that don’t interest you and wait for the ones that do, there will always be free mixing and mastering content on my channel.
@@spinlightstudios 8 of your last 10 videos were product reviews. I get they're a necessary evil but if you could tweak the ratio a bit it would help me and maybe people like me feel the magic again Why not start a patreon or a paid course? I'm sure a lot of people would be interested
Rhys puts out great content, whether it's product reviews or not. It's a privilege that we get all of this for free. Be appreciative and thankful that we live in a time when content like this is available at no cost to us. I know I am. :)
@@matthewwood642 appreciate it mate! Even in plugin demo videos / you can usually discover cool tricks that can be applied with the plugins you already have :)
@@spinlightstudios I just want to say I was really impressed with your channel when maybe 10-20% of it was sponsored videos and the rest was truly helpful tutorials. It made me more than willing to subscribe and maybe pay for a course from you or hire you if I had something I needed mix work for (which I don't at the moment). Not sure I'd have the same impression if I saw that the vast majority of your videos were promoting something most producers don't need. I know firsthand that most gear is a money sink
