its a great technique to add sonic character... its "color bus" similar to a vca or pre amp not a drum bus that comes after. gainstaging is the key to find the sweet spot... eq compressor everything comes after in the real drum buss if you want... he has also has 5 sends on the drum bus where he recovers transients , sub and so on...its all parallel straight to all drums where he brings all busses and paralell aux channels together ... however i agree that depending on the music its not often super special but it can be like any saturation plug...
I'm a great fan of the return track approach and use it basically everywhere, however I was kinda skeptical about these fixed values that have been narrated as "great" by other youtubers too. It feels more like tossing a coin to me.
When you use The Jaycen NLS Trick , make sure you make 4 Parallel Channels : Transformer 1 , Transformer 2 , Louder and the other i forgot....with this Parallel Aux´s you can get back the Transients that will get lost in the NLS Chain and in the Shadow Hills Comp !
the chain is not applied in parallel by JJ actually, however I didn't try this one in parallel yet, but used to do similar stuff already, especially with the Console7Cascade
@@beat_spot, JJ uses other plugins in this chain too, so it isn't just the eight NLS summing strips. Either way, it could be a handy trick, not something I need. So many plugins are so good these days, there are many options for saturation in terms of summing and so forth.
Huh! And how many Grammys did you win? This is what happens when you try to use somebody's trick to make videos, but don't understand the actual technique behind the trick.. Jaycen has won over 15 Grammys and is widely considered the absolute King of low-end. His work speaks for itself.
You obviously don't know the technique and definitely have all the plugins set up wrong. I watched the same video and understand the technique its an amazing technique if you do it right. Plus its not just thos nls or about the EQ and if you look at your stereo field its weaker on one side so it pulls the track to one side more so you have to counter balance it correctly and pan it properly so its centred. Everyone wants to be an expert on this nls plugin technique.... its 8 plugins that effectively is the same as an ssl console..... it replicates the ssl console. Plus you didnt watch it correctly cause they are all set to either spike, mike or nevo with 1 drive set to 0.5 and 1 trims 2db off. Lets no mislead just for views. If you do not understand the technique just tell the truth.... they are set in parallel with the drumbus so the signal of the original drums go into the SSL console ( NLS buss then to the drum bus. Best technique from an award winning music producer. Id definitely would listen to jaycen joshua over this fake remake with a beat producer who tries his hand at mastering 😂😂 make your beats and leave it to the professionals to finish.... @jaycenjoshua @inthemix
This is just too convoluted and situational to call it a technique. While I learnt many other interesting stuff from Jaycen, this is flat out stupid. Stop the dickriding.
