Multiband compression changed the game for me. I was the same as you for a long time and I think it was wise of you to not touch a multiband compressor for so long because if you don’t know eq, it can easily be overdone. But I say go for it. He uses a waves c6 & you can get it for like $30

Yup same here I was having the biggest issues EQing vocals as I would need to take out soo much to make them ok and it would just end up sounding hollow, until I discovered multiband compression and instead of regular eq I now do dynamic eq

Thanks for the video!

Incredible

Nice vid! Wonder what setting he is using on the Waves GTR plugin?

Looking through a bunch of tutorials of guys trying to convince me that their eq is doing anything worth noting in logic. I saw this guy using ProTools and I knew he knew what he was talking about straight away. Couldn't believe this was actually mixing the og song!

Why does it always sound so bad when I use an LA2A? Sounds like pumping, doesn't do well on transients. Is there a technique I should be using?

@SjimDeKat

3 жыл бұрын

These people record through expensive outboard gear, which causes the file to already smooth out the rough transients. Without this gear, try to use multiple compressors in your DAW that all do a bit instead of one doing it all. First use a clean (not an emulation of gear) compressor that’s really taking care of ducking the transients, but not the rest of the track. You can do this with a very fast release and to find the sweet spot for as fast as an attack possible without it sounding bad. Optionally you can bounce the track to visually compare if the transients got less. When you have more of a smooth source, you can then use a compressor like the LA2A to give it character and the smooth compression it’s known for. The LA2A specifically has a permanent attack and release setting. So when you feed that compressor a heavy transient, it’s gonna make a huge dip and take some time to get back, which gives the pumping effect. With a more controlled signal coming in, it won’t do that :) Hope that helps!

How can a master get such a horrible amp noise? Mix with masters of hiding....

you know i have to say with all due respect justin definitely needs a new team. i mean loads of these songs, eg 'been you' couldve been number ones but the noises are mastered in such a lifeless overly saturated way and so cramped together that it just sounds like a big clash of noise. a perfect example of this is that skrillex mastered the song 'sorry', and those odd drums and rolls at the end of a sentence are so unique and rubbing against the ear in such an interesting way, and the song was massive. by comparison, the song 'the feeling' which skrillex also produced and which has equally interesting noises etc is so lifeless and dull. like theres a really interesting - booming drum, rolling click click- that makes up every verse but theyve been mastered so flat so it has no impact. or even the humming bass for the chorus and the drum are just shallow like they dont hit in an impactful way on the ear, and theyre not spread out enough or loud enough and they dont rumble enough
