As an early adopter of the Omni Channel, I'm glad that my impression of it came through: It's the plugin that keeps giving! It's on sale now for $29 and it's a, 'Hell Yeah' easy decision buying decision. What can't come thru on the YT vid is how really SWEET the EQ is and the endless flexibilities you get with four deessers, like removing unwanted string slides or low end podcast desk noises and on and on. You got a glimpse of how much there is under the hood, but until you play with it, you just don't realize how much good stuff can be so flexible. WARREN: Yes, that was JUST what I wanted to see from Schepps. Thank you for making it happen and available!

Jeff Marc wonderful to hear! Yes, very impressive plug in!!

What a treat . Thank you guys

So, this was interesting. When the interview started, Andrew was surprisingly restrained or just tired from the flight. Usually with Andrew it's like ... you ask one question and get an 20 minute super helpful answer... it took some time until he was on course here. ;) Interesting that Waves is obviously pushing the Omni Channel one year after its release (as Graham on the Recording Revolution published a video about the plugin at the same time). Anyway, seeing Warren and Andrew in the same room speaking about music is amazing by design. And by the way ... having Andrew coming into your studio to mix your song on the fly ...lucky you ;)

yes! i thought the same thing. was just about to comment until i saw your comment....... he seems pretty disinterested, preoccupied and almost trying desperately to show a 'face' of sorts at the beginning interview section, almost as if he was thinking "this is the last thing i wanted to do today, but let's try paint on a smile, pimp my plugin and get this over with" haha. An incredibly accomplished guy tho, and was great to see him do his thing with the mix

Alright Warren, James here, from sunny old England. By far the best music production series ever made. The Soundgarden video with Michael Beinhorn was epic. Next one with Foo Fighters 'Evermore' was brilliant. Now this one with Andrew Schepps also. Amazing stuff. All free might I add. You learn a lot more from these Warren, than you do spending hundreds of pounds to watch other videos that contain less information . Absolutely brilliant. Watched every video on your channel a dozen times. This new series is next level. Just getting better and better. P.S If you know of anyone in the London area that needs a helping hand in their studio, I will work for free. Can do everything and anything that needs doing. Was thinking of a series that unearths all the great but forgotten British bands of the 60's/70's and talks about the albums we all love. Think Spooky Tooth and talking to Mike Harrison. Think Family and talking to Roger Chapman. Would be epic to find Mark Hollis of Talk Talk fame and fleece him of information about the Color Of Spring album. I could go on forever. All on a level like these videos your doing lately. Totally brilliant Warren. Take it easy.

so humbled to get such shared experience, for free, like that and noticing everyones efforts to provide all of this with such quality. Much thanks!

Probably the best mixing video on YT. Honest, transparent and the passion is epic. Love AS simplicity in his approach, very refreshing and this plugin is a beast. I started using it after the first time I watched this and it has superb enhanced my workflow and sound. Just absolutely brilliant

Love you guys! Thank you so much for sharing!

love it this got me a slew of ways of working with the omni channel i never thought of ....just fantastic videos you guys are putting out

Thanks for sharing your ideas guys, love you both., hoping for more videos like this.

Fantastic video! I've had the Omni Channel for a while now and it is extremely useful.

I love this guy! Being "in the box" means he's a high end professional that the average home producer can really identify with. He knows the future, the future is in the box! I could listen to him for hours...

Great stuff! Andrew Scheps is one of my favourite producers, and the Scheps OmniChannel one of my favourite plugins. Really cool watching him using it on the production of David's song.

Hearing Andrew Scheps speak is always rewarding on so many levels - always worth paying attention to. Thank you.

Fun video, enjoying the Omni channel plugin

Andrew is one of, if not the most, generous people in Audio today. He takes a lot of his time to help us struggling mixers improve our lot. He once answered a question of mine about using a macro to manually de-ess - going step by step through building the macro, and what program he used. Truly a mensch! Also, a monster at his craft. And the Omni Channel has forever changed and improved my workflow and mix quality.

This was a amazing interview ... slow to start in terms of info... but once he started explaining his Plug-in... The reasoning behind it... Why it's the best of all the gear that are his "Go-To's" ... His enthusiasm was contagious.. I learned more about fixing my mixes, from a songwriters point of view, than I have from tutorial's for other plug-ins in months... Thanks

Every time I have a new favorite album I find out later that Andrew mixed it. Eventually I just looked at his credits to find new music lol. Several of his methods have completely changed how I mix for the better. I will watch anything where he's talking so THANK YOU for this video.

Used it on my new album, but man, there is so much more to the omni channel. Great vid!

Mr. Scheps is one of my fave educators. Brilliant techniques, super creative, and wonderfully articulate in how he explains things. And loving the Omni Channel... bought mine when previously when it was on sale, just need to experiment more with it.. so this vid was prefect timing. Thanks Warren and Andrew!!

Wow. That's a gem of a video right there!

Hello.. I just stumbled across this interview. I've been watching your other interviews and enjoying hearing about what the thought processes were for popular songs.. This one was different. I'm so impressed with the development and ability of this plug in and all the thought that actually went into it. Thank you for this video, it was very insightful and interesting (for a geek like me anyway). Cheers!

I find Andrew's interviews incredibly helpful and insightful. The two of you together is like a fountain of inspiration and knowledge. Thanks for the great interview and Omni demo. I love the Shepps 73 plugin and will probably end up with the Omni one day, as I too am lazy. :)

I started music production in early 2020 and have amassed lots of plugins. This Black Friday I stumbled upon this Scheps plugin on sale, HIGHLY recommended on Reddit. It's now inserted on just about every track, including the master. It's madness. The low end that (you talk about) now comes to life with this plugin. That +4 DB on the kick really is magical. Overall, it's the best plugin I've ever used. Thanks for the quick mixing walk through with Scheps himself, I learned a lot.

Warren Huart I learned a ton from this video. I went all in on Scheps Omni Channel to do more channel strip based mixing. That was before seeing this video. Seeing the man himself work his magic brought the intelligence of the tool out. Incredible video

Watching this for a second time. There's so much to absorb in the software and the discussion on what and why. Andrew and Rick Rubin are the most zen-like producers I've seen.

Omni Channel is my FAVORITE plugin ever! I use it on every project for my clients. All of my Voice Overs are done through Omni Channel and my Audio quality is top notch now. I've had clients hire me twice within a day because of the Audio quality and I owe that to Mr. Scheps!

I love this channel strip, and it's really teaching me about tools I have been hesitant to learn about or reach for. An expander? What does that do? Well, I found out when I brought up one of the Omni's Snare presets and the gate was set to be an expander. Sent me down a rabbit hole. I'm still in infant stages of mixing but this plugin is one of my go-tos in every mix.

thank you warren and professor scheps! i love getting glimpses of his thought processes while he's working. more gems!

Thanks Warren and Andrew. I just bought the Scheps channel for $29 and I'm playing with it now. I've been trying to accomplish the same mash up of plugin parts from another manufacturer and was ending up with three or four different plugins with each doing just a bit. So far it seems like the omni channel is just that. Now...if I could just get the preamp, filters, compressors, and EQ into a single hardware unit. ;) Side note: The Nugen plugin video led me to a set of lectures that Andrew had regarding streaming services and codec quality. I really appreciate the open sharing that you two provide.

Great explanation of the plugin.

Andrew realised the huge advantage of mixing in the box. He is one of the guys I get inspired. Smart equipment excludes analog technique for efficiency.

Wow what an amazing content. You must be thrilled having such a great professor in your studio and checking your mix. And Andrew having such a great platform to show his plugin. And Waves is so lucky to have you, two heroes, on their team. Great work Warren and your team!

Thank you gentlemen. Just pick this up yesterday during the waves sale. Was already in love with the plugin after using it. But now after watching this my god the things that are possible. Andrew Scheps is a genius. Again, Job done well.

Every interview I have seen of Mr. Scheps portrays him as a down to earth no bullshit guy. Always enjoy watching his take on all things audio

Well good onya! I was trying to resist buying more plugins and you both broke that resistance. Can't wait to use it and see what it does. That De-Ess trick with the kik and the bass and also on the guitar is something I have wrote down to try at some point. Thanks to you both for the great video.

The Scheps Omni Channel is the absolute best, most versatile plugin I've ever used. You can do pretty much anything on any track, easily and intuitively. You can sonic-ally get anywhere from anywhere. Makes shaping sound a dream!

This type of video, where the person who conceived the plug-in (with a storied career), is sincerely interviewed by a producer (with a storied career), is possibly the best and most useful I have ever seen. Bravo, Andrew, Warren.

I just bought the omni channel about a week ago, and this thing is AWESOME

So the Omni Channel has replaced 90% of my plugins, I really think it’s helped me enjoy making and mixing music again. Just wanted to say thank you.

This was a really good way of doing an interview ... Having a full mix session at the second half of the vid ... All mixing/recording interviews should be done like this !!!

Amazing content, thanks a bunch Warren, always happy to see the notification of your new video overhere :) Just bought this plugin because of you, it's my third "last plugin I buy this month" :D Hard to pass it at 25$. Anyway, thanks so so much for your amazing channel, I'm learning so much from you.

Andrew looked pretty tired and I was a bit worried with his one-word answers at the start but as soon as he started mixing, all the jet lag disappeared and was replaced with enthusiasm. I loved watching his grin grow every time he went back to the mixer - could be the cover model for a book 'The Joy of Mixing" ;) So much good information about the plug-in in the video - I'm not normally a sucker for sales, but when this went on sale I bought it. I'm a bit late to the party, but thanks Warren and Andrew!

Wowsers! This was such an awesome video! Ok, so the Omni is definitely next on the list of must gets!!

What an exceptional way to get behind the eyes and ears of so much talent! Waves should post this as a tutorial.
