I recently realised how effective mid-side processing on the master bus can really clean/clear things out for vocals, snare etc. to punch through the center.

Marc, you’ve helped me improve my mixing by 90%.. I really sucked bad at mixing but now I just suck! What an incredible human being and a legend in my book. I hope I get the privilege of meeting you someday! Thank you so much for what you do sir! 🙏🏻

Where have WE been!! Where have you been, Marc? It's great to see you back, and with another great insight. For that reason, we'll forgive you. But don't let it happen again, right? Top flight, bro

WOW! this was uploaded two years ago, and I'm mastering a project today where I totally needed this!!!! I've been using multistage limiting for years (where I use the first one just to lift the level but making sure there's absolutely NO reduction on the meter, and then using the second stage for the bulk of the heavy lifting, but it's never truly sounded great. NOW THIS!!!! This sounds so good! Who knew clipping could actually sound CLEANER in the end lol....such an awesome and timely video for me right now! Thanks so much!

Also, adding a small amount of midrange saturation with something like fab filter Saturn is great for giving a bit more loudness. Genre dependent of course, but can really help elevate the track.

how do you go about that, just on the mixbus of whole mix ?

Marc is the only person with a mullet that I will take advice from.

The “2 plug-in cocktail”. I love it. Thank you for sharing this ingenious idea.

Very neat! Get the loudness bump without sacrificing the details. And a very good choice of music to demonstrate it on clearly. Thanks! PS: I'd like to point out that having had a chance to go back and review multiple videos from Marc, I've observed a constant trend. Aside from all of the videos having useful information and interesting insight, they all have something else in common: be it day or night, smooth piece of instrumental or loud hard rock -- in every video, at no point are both Marc and that dog, that you always see in the background, conscious at the same time! ..Now, I'm not suggesting that only when Marc goes to sleep, does the dog wake up, or that there is any sort of inception-like X-Files activity going on here.. but you're free to draw such conclusions. I merely share an observation 🙃🤫🛸

Great tip. I like how adding the clipper before the limiter helps keep the mix open. With just the limiter, the mix flattened out and lost the open soundstage of the unlimited mix, but the clipper allowed that to be retained.

Every MDN video is pure gold! Love this trick! I’m gonna use it!

Best KZread video of the year. This solved so many problems/questions I've had for such a long time...

Now I've seen it done 100 different ways. I've tried it myself 100 way, but this is the first time someone was able to explain it this well and allowed me to actually hear what is being taken out in this way. Every time Marc Daniel Nelson has a video on here, it's a complete revelation. It's unbelievable how good this guy is.

Such a simple yet powerful trick to have in the toolbox.

My initial thought on chopping off those transients with the clipper was that it would destroy them and make the track sound flat (like the limiter did when pushed hard) Amazing how it does the exact opposite and gave them more punch.

I love these Marc videos! He's such a chill guy.

Really good mix. The song sounds really 3 dimensional. I like the mix without the limiter

Yes...I went and tested this on a mix I finished today and this def made it fill out more and feel tighter. Great advice...thx!

Absolute gold mine. It's not just the information, it's the presentation. One small example- having the in/out display while I've got everything running thru my monitors makes it that much easier to experience what Marc is demonstrating. Many other techniques, too. Love it Warren! This channel is a f***ing gold mine.

Wonderful video! love all videos with Marc on this channel! Thank you so much Marc and Warren

Mark... You are always the BEST !! Never thought you'd be using standard clip being a pretty old plugin. ... Thanks a bunch to Marc & Warren for all these goodies.... !! :)

Simply wonderful your videos! Thank you for your generosity!❤

Thank you Marc and Warren!

This is a truly awesome tip!

Another great tip from Marc ! Thank you !

Brilliant, Dr. MDN!

My dude, I truly appreciate and enjoy your vids. That is my motto "...just one more clean db". I find with a balanced mix (not mine, they tend to be all over the place) once you pass 10db lufs or maybe 9.5db lufs is where the mix tends to fold in. Getting below 9db lufs and retaining clarity and punch is difficult for most. Thank you for the insight!

That was great! Thank you!

A jewel video! Thanks for sharing this!

just absolutely the best teacher

Marc have a very mysterious and great personality.

I have been using this for some time, it is a great technique!

Thanks again for featuring Marc. I really listen very hard to what he says and demonstrates.

Nice to see Atticus still sleeping on the couch!

Just sensational! 🙏

Crazy! thx 4 sharing

DEFINITELY more snap on the front of that snare. Wow. Great tip! I need to focus in more on my limiting/clipping game.

just as an info: Limitless, the Limiter from DMG AUdio has a very versatile built in Clipper before of the limiting stage !

I’m a simple man. I see Mark and I hit the like button.

Mr. Nelson...thank you so much. I dig the info, it is informative. What's even Mo'betta is that you eliminate distractions and I can both hear and follow you. I am OCD and I have Misophonia (yeah, look that one up). As a result there are MANY informative videos I cannot even attempt watch do to un-edited mouth noises in addition to annoying presenters who cannot go a sentence without using "And Ummm", "Like", and a myriad of other annoying presentation mistakes. Thank YOU! -mg!

That was AWESOME Thank you!

Just one clean dB extra is exactly where I’m at. Picked up the clipper you used, which is brilliant, practiced with it including the limiter monitor check on Pro-L (didn’t know about this either) and was able to achieve what I needed. Very valuable tip, many thanks:)
