"Turn it till it sounds good" love it

I come from a metal and EDM background, and one day I tried sausage fattener on guitar. It is usually meant to absolutely crush and add intense harmonics to synths to make ridiculous beefy synths(think knife party kind of audio damage) but used moderately on guitar I got some of the clearest and punchiest guitar tones. Just keep the sausage mildly unhappy and set threshold to taste. Great on lower tunings.

good tip! i'll try it out! i mostly produced Drum & Bass before and it worked wonders for those heavy basses, that are basically like a bass and low tuned guitar combined

The way Waves prices their plugins now, it's pretty affordable to get into their ecosystem. I think I bought every one of their plugins that you mentioned for $29 (each.) Even the SSL E-Channel! They rotate what's on sale pretty regularly, so I just add stuff I want to my wishlist and check back periodically.

Scott Nelle check everyplugin.com. They carry waves and have better prices. A sale for $29 at waves is usually $25 at everyplugin. Also, you can usually find additional discount codes for 5-10% off.

A great alternative to the Massey Tape Head is the Slate Virtual Tape machine. Throw it on default settings.... dial it up or down to taste. Beautiful.

I would love to see a video about your drum mixing and the automation that appears to be happening. They sound great!

Guys, my top tip is the Waves Pie Compressor. It has that wonderful ability to bring the mix into the room. You can put it on stuff without even using the compression and it will sound better. The normal price is stupid $250, but it is often on sale. This is not really a metalhead's tool, but if you are a notch or two down from that it is the dog's todger.

I would add Fab Filter products to the list. They have very good tools for metal production.

Same, just the Pro Q3 and Pro MB can do wonders

You can bridge Tape Head to VST format. It's a bit of a hustle but this plugin definitely worth it! Great vid btw)

Your mix is amazing dude! Awsome video

Top 5 list is definitely quality info. Thank You for the reFresh! 🤘😎🤙

YOU ARE THE BEST!! I had the issue with a bass guitar that you said! totally fixed it! thank you!

I use SoundToys Decapitator and EchoBoy on all my songs, I'm also a huge fan of the UAD API vision channel strip. Cool video.

Have them all besides Messy Tape Head, hell yes! Thank you Jordan!!

I like to use the vmr as my first insert on most tracks with the vcc module first. you can group it aswell, adds nice subtle saturation. also the vcc mix buss module on the master buss

Mine are : Fabfilter proq2 Uad 1176 collection Soundtoys echoboy Fabfilter Reverb Soundtoys decapitator Soundtoys microshift Waves Rvox Fabfilter pro MB Slate trigger Melodyne.

Good informative video and i dont usually comment on youtube but great job and picks of plugs. Good luck to you.

Waves had the SSL for $29 yesterday... down from $249... woo hoo!!!!

Thank you so much for this! Mostly on Logic, I'm not familiar with most of these plugins, so will give them a try. Cheers.

Is there a reason why you chose L1 over L2 (or further incarnations)?

This channel is great. I'm only using waves stuff right not but I'll have wait for the slate stuff to go on sale and play around with it. Maybe black Friday or something.

Alex Wain I’ll check that out for sure. Thanks man!

for those who like free vsts, check out the "Dead Duck Channel". It's a copy of the SSL eq and all of its features.

Great channel!!keep up the good work!!

Hmm Metal Engineer sounds like a real job.

Love what the tape head did to those guitars! Any alternatives that works in logic?

12:58 around here you mention about the standard loudness in metal, approximately how loud is the standard now a days?

RazzerRaw Throw a commercial track of your choice-- or even a few tracks-- into your DAW then look up how to monitor RMS and the top peaking frequencies in your given DAW. If your DAW doesn't have a way, Reaper has free audio monitoring plug ins, or online there are free RMS meters for download. Just do the research and you'll be fine, but hopefully this is a good place to start for you.

I dont use protools so for the tape head plugin Is not an option for me, but Audio Assault Headcrusher does the work for me

Cool stuff Jman

"Under $100" awesome! "US" Damnit!

Do you have any of your drum samples from Slate Trigger available? Thank you so much for your time and passion!

check out the new version of the VMR...2.. got it today and its really nice.

@@huntergill4945 Old-school death metal mixed with some Hard-Rock and stuff like that. Got some alt rock and jazz stuff too.

Just a question- why not just eq the nasty fizz out of the guitar instead of using tape head?

It just does something unique - seems to focus the tone around the midrange and smooth out the top end in a nice way. I don't use it for every lead guitar, just when it seems especially harsh.

Would "L1 Limiter" be appropriate for mastering as well?

Rodrigo C. Giacon When you buy it it includes a maximizer with soke settings suited for being in last in a final mastering chain. Idk if it's a wide band Limiter thougu, which isn't always preferred for mastering.

Rodrigo C. Giacon I'd say Fab Filter Pro L2 or Waves LL Multi 3 as a final limiter. For mix biss compression take a look at SSL G Master Buss Comp. These options will run you some $$$ but mastering takes a bit of an investment if you want transparent, decent sounding master. Start sifting through KZread and Google to learn the madness of mastering. It's a different ball game from mixing that I can't explain but the internet is your friend. Just gotta do your own research with this kind of thing.
