RTFM!

The more audio production videos I watch, the more I realise that "sounding better" is just giving the audience what they expect. There are no "correct" ways that things should sound, there are only sounds that people expect to hear. Hence I agree with Dan's cultural preference idea.

“Digital recordings make non-linieraties optional” this is such a beautiful way to look at it, because it explains why it explains exactly why digital is better than expensive analog gear: Digital is “perfect” fidelity by default, and gives as much control over the sound as you want. But this perspective also highlighted how there is still a considerable amount of skill involved in working with digital audio to get it to sound good. (Btw I am not dismissing analogue as bad, I am sure that’s also great)

The problem with digital is the sweet-spot. Pushing a digital distortion, for example, becomes very messy very quickly. On (good) analog gear the sweet-spot is much wider ie you can push it further without it starting to become wonky. Same goes for (good) analog synths and drum machines. The sound is more fat, full etc from the get go. For producers this makes a difference as you have a limited amount of energy for every project. Once you spend that energy you only start making bad decisions and running things into the ground. Everyone who has ever made music has experienced this. This is why going for analog whenever making music that requires more extreme things like over the top distortion, big sounds etc. saves energy and allows you room to be more creative with music, rather than spending your precious mana on creating 5 chains of saturation to achieve what you would with one turn of a knob on something analog. Both worlds have their advantages but some things seriously take the cake in each world. I vote analog for harmonic abuse. All that said, Saturn is pretty damn good. ;)

It's Dan Worrall, he has at least 3 channels

I use saturation on all my drum busses to round off the peeks without having to compress too much. That way I can remove about 1db - 3db without losing any of the loudness characteristics I like

Maybe instead of pop up tool tips Dan's voice should explain whatever you hover your mouse over in FabFilter plugins.

Excellent description of the actions of this plug in. Very impressed with understanding the DC offset from asymmetric wave forms and the use of the spectrum analyzer. This level of understanding and description sells it!

Again very much appreciated. Highly appreciate you going deeper into the intermodulation characteristics with analysis and real-world examples. I don't believe I have ever seen the subject of saturation explained in a way that 'clicks' until this vid. Thanks!

Excellent narration, easy to understand and follow. I've recently invested in your plug ins because of the quality of everything you guys seem to do. Including this video.

Thanks Dan .................. I always gain valuable production knowledge from your videos, much appreciated.

These video's are great, just like every plugin you guys make! Cheers from the Netherlands :)

As always amazing tutorial and excellent music

For those who like me were wondering what DAW he's using at the end (eg at 13:25), it's called Reaper. I literally just googled screenshots for all the DAWs listed on Wikipedia until I found it. I'd never heard of it, it's obviously a smaller and less well known one, and pretty cheap (non-commercial license is $60). But if it gets Dan's approval, I might have to check it out!

Beautiful Sounding Tool 🙌🏼

Fabfilter does it again with some great stuff thanks guys

excellent. Great plugin, and wonderful tutorial...

I’m here to enjoy listening to Dan

I dont use any fabfilter plugins (yet?), but i really enjoy how you break down how each component works in the plugins. Ive learned quite a bit about whats going on under the hood in my mixes and its given me some insite for future projects. im self taught and at a rather beginner level yet, so videos like these are an invaluable resource. Thank you!!!

great video and greater plugin , thank you

Awesome tutorial as always!

i could listen to this guy all day

i didn’t think it was better when the warm or clean were used bs bypassing. I was amazed when they were put together!

fantastic video

Great tutorial

I love this video

the track at the end with all the horns is such a good tune man ^^ fab filter stuff has always been said to be top, I've been shown this saturn saturation and the EQ3, guess imma get those at some point

Dan is 'the man'!

Dan Worrall is the God I've been waiting to worship 😁. I'm so glad it's him in this video too. 💯❤🔥

Interesting. I've only used distortion on Bass guitar prior to seeing this, will have to try it out. Thanks for uploading.

Love the wide screen.

To (my) ears, I enjoyed the horn ensemble without saturation more, mainly because I dig the 'bite' of the horns in the upper part of the spectrum. I used to play trumpet. A good live horn section sends chills down the spine.

This is really great information. I use Saturn on almost every mix and low passed so much because of that sub bass content showing up in spectrum analyzers. Guess it was never really a problem to begin with 😮

Dan has Saturn 2 fitted in his throat. Warm and gritty voice.

@mal2ksc

Because to a certain extent it's a zero sum game. Once you run out of headroom, every bit of energy put into a harmonic means energy taken away from everything else in the mix including the fundamental, as brick wall compression kicks in.

Please add updates or release version 2. Fabfilter plugins are great, but why only focus on a few of them? Update ALL of them please. Thank you.

Anyone knows the song ?

Sometimes adding saturation causes the fundamental volume to decrease. Which is great when peak control is needed. But ... why does this happen? Why does the fundamental decrease its volume?

@Ivannbeats

2 жыл бұрын

Because the peaks are lowered but saturation adds other harmonics

and just like that it's much simpler to understand why some have the false impression that expensive hifi tube (pre)amps sound cleaner.. it's just the addition of some nicely refined 2nd harmonics on top of the already mastered songs.
