For drums...UAD Pultec Pro Legacy on the drum bus...with Soundtoys Decapitator. Vocals...I'm loving the JST Howard Benson Vocal Plugins (The Doubler and the OG Plugin) and CLA Vocals...For reverbs...Waves CLA Epic.

There’s no specific plugin that I need for every mix. I was going to say my stock EQ but if I didn’t have that I would just use a different EQ. Sorry, probably not the answer you’re looking for but it’s the truth.

Waves SSL E console. I have one on every track just giving the slightest bit of compression for colouration.

Great Video! I think the big takeaway here is starting with an incredibly consistent drum performance. Taylor is spot on with consistent kick and snare hits. No pensive or half hearted sticking here, Hawkins is just killing it and proving yet again, what a monster he truly was.

One thing I do when I’m trying to build a mix for my live concert tours is take a sample of the snare from the drummer and I use trigger2 to resample itself so while I’m doing my dynamics and eq I don’t get bummed out when the drummer hits off center or botches a rimshot. Then at the end I take off trigger and see how it translates. If everything goes well I transfer the avid/waves settings onto my live console.

im mixing a local band and the drummer was not consistent at all, its just one big face palm. id like marc to come to my house and show me how to mix drums like those

This gentleman has the most helpful insight and tips out there and articulates things in a way that makes sense and is easy to digest. You learn more from the thought-process behind his mix decisions, than any plugin settings.

Thanks very much Marc, great as always. Cheers to the PLAP team

Love your videos. So much to learn from watching these. Simply the school of rock as it should be.

This was a game changing video for me. Using MJUC to bring out the kick and snare in the room mics without the OH's overwhelming everything, so you can then use that energy creatively in parts of the song. I have 2 songs I've really struggled with to get a drier drum but just have some life in the mix and could never get room reverb right to do this and keep the punch. This totally unlocked the mixes for me and wider creative options too. Proper gold dust video.

I came here from Instagram where you posted the teaser. When he mentioned "one of the best LA in the itb realm" but the teaser didn't tell WHICH one, I had to come here 😀 and I KNEW IT!! MJUC. Always a winner. It always amazes me how much weight MJUC adds on the 2bus.

Awesome video

Hi Marc. Could you make a video where you will be showing us your must have plugins plz? These kind of tools which you will be taking with you on journey to alpha Centauri?

Great, now I have to buy the BlackBird strip lol Cheers!

Exactly what I thought. It sounded already awesome since the beginning 😅

@1:10. Wow it does have room ambience from overhead mics. This is without reverb plugins? Did they put mic very high? My recording experiences are limited. So I’m curious how come the overhead can capture that much reverby texture. It sounds awesome anyways!

I love these videos. Even though I use Cubase - it translates perfectly. Also I was sold on Marc once i saw his dog. I also am a Weimaraner owner. It is now my favorite breed. But even a noob mixer like myself can take away so much from these vids. I need to just bite the bullet and join the produce like a pro academy

the guys was not even doing anything and the drums where sounding amaizing wowwwwwww, i totally wanna hear this song

Q: How Do you know when the drums are done? A: When the dog wakes up.

The drummers of this caliber playing to the click in this kind of studio with this kind of console sounds like Superior Drummer with just a hint of humanize, The same is with Ryan Vikedal. He sounds so tight like a SD3 and You have to put it into actual SD3 grit editor to see that it's actually live. I remember one track that CLA was mixing, very new wave, everything digital and the drums sounded the same and at the end of mix CLA is killing with the line: "That was live drums played by RHCP drummer", and I was like WTF?

It’s so often dictated by genre. If the song has push and pull and drum parts that mirror the feel of the vocalist then they don’t have that gridded feel. Jim Kellner is a Perfect example of that kind of drummer

Жыл бұрын

@@Producelikeapro I know. I was just first shocked how tight those drummers are and how close to SD3 type of program they are. The valocity and the timming is almost always around +/- the same but then like You've said, and we all know - You don't have to play to the click or give it to hardcore digital editing AND at the same time if You don't have a great drummer but a great drums from program and great mixer, then You can still make a record and then find a session drummer to play live which is much easier than "rent" a guy for a longer process. ALL IN ALL: it's good to be a songwriter in this era and have a lot of options.

@@Producelikeapro and I on Polish punk-rock scene so the metronome type of drums were not in their neighborhood as You can imagine ; ) But it's all season to taste and a matter of HOW MUCH You wanna to be sign/get a career in today's DNA "rock and roll world". But isn't all starter with Pop punk/post-grunge? If You get those old multitracks (guitar hero and others) then the beginning of 2000's is a start of Nickleback'ish digital editing. Personaly, I'm in between with a live drummer and huge drums with a lot of heavy low end like Sean Kinney had on Black Gives way to blue record as I mention few times.

I really have to say this course was abit lost on me. I mean these tracks are so good sounding, that if you get tracks like this, you dont need this course. I also think some of the examples where abit quick, like he is explaining something he thinks you already know. I got the course on recording drums at home, witch I think was better aimed at hobbyist or semipros, but hey, fun to hear this. The big take away I think is, get it right at the source, witch is solid advice anyhow👍 Anyway.... love the channel, keep it up.

The plugins have phase buttons.

What I notice more and more is that even engineers who do promotional videos for certain plugin companies and their SSL channels.... end up using SSL's own stuff. I agree. I did the same journey. I couldn't use any other SSL channel anymore.
