Dither until the final master? Got it

tote video

I’ve been looking everywhere and you’ve given the best solution and I’ve actually learnt what I’m doing rather than just being told to do stuff

If you enjoyed this video I think you'll love the step by step video I made to registering and collecting your public performance royalties. If you are playing live in public venues you might be missing out! 🔗 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6GzfHhsr8ear7c 🔗

I never really vibed with the Wave plugins even when I started producing. There's just so many better options out there these days that not only sound better, but look better and are easier to use as well. We are truly spoiled these days with options.

Never looked back after leaving protools and waves garbage, Abelton stock plugins for everything without bogging cpu. No ilok you don’t need to be online you don’t need any interface to just work in the box. Sharing project files is as easy as two clicks not to mention drag and drop everything 🎉

I highly encourage to purchase only from authorized dealers. If you feel you have a counterfeit with any piece of equipment. Send it to the companies service department and they can verify it for you. Cheers! Keep making noise!

great video! i wish ableton push standalone could do this on the freaking fly :P

I dont know what price you paid, but70-80usd is what they often go for. I have also seen a guy used a SM58 ( real ) and put all from (Sm58 iinternal) into a fake housing to get the soundquality that shure offer. and also the look of shure sm7b for cheap Mby you should do the same if you get a good deal on a real sm58 on the used marked.

crazy

Please stop using the blurring effect so much!

Do you master songs for money?

Ballpark Summary (?) for dummies like me; ''We don't 'hear' bass frequencies at lower volumes* as well as we do at higher volumes'' ? *SP-LEVELS

why does my low cut looks different in 2 different pro q3 instances with the same settings ....low cut, 30db/oct, q: 1.000 ....one instance i saved along time ago and when i want to recreate the same settings it looks different (not as steep)

Great tips! Keeping plugins organized can really streamline the workflow in Ableton. Thanks for sharing this!

how did you add new audio stem tracks just from loading the original master track ?

Love this Freddie!

Thank you for the video, I needed to clean up my plugins before and it is very time consuming. What I have learned from you today is by putting all plugins on a spreadsheet. I hope Ableton will add the plugin manager as it is in Logic, Thank you again

Some may find this extremely boring but I find it very interesting and informative! Having a neatly organized system is great for building consistency and keeping it in time! I’m definitely following this journey!

Tape Plug-in by Softube , better than waves.

Thank you.🙏 Now I can tick off that normalization is not even an emergency solution for me.

Very educative. Thanks Freddy #subscribed

I known it's recommended as best practice to have 1 external ssd for a music sample library & a second external ssd for projects. As a non professional, budget strapped beginner bedroom dj & music producer, would just one external ssd to put both my sample library & projects on suffice? (I have an m1 max macbook pro 14" with 2 tb internal ssd & 64g ram. I bought an external enclosure with 4tb ssd. (I ordered a 2nd 2tb ssd for project files but am considering returning it so I can afford to buy external hdd for backing everything up. I'm also needing to purchase a thunderbolt dock.) I know you've already covered this in the video, but given the limited budget I have, could you please comment on having only one external ssd for everything? (I will be using my setup both for learning music production & djing. No professional jobs. If I go this route would it be best to keep my djing music library on the external ssd or would it be better for it to reside internally on the mbp? I haven't migrated my data from my old 2012 Intel mbp to my new m1 max mbp yet. I have an extremely limited budget & am questioning the wisdom of adopting a level 3 music organization setup to start with. Again, any suggestions are appreciated. 🙏)

What do you recommend I use for Mac time machine back up for a 2 tb m1 max macbook pro & backups for external storage of sample library/projects for a tighter budget of a hobbyist/beginner bedroom music producer? I ordered an external enclosure with 4tb ssd for sample library/ plug-ins(also purchased a second enclosure with 2 tb ssd for project files BUT since i still need to buy something for backups & a thunderbolt dock I'm considering returning the 2tb ssd& enclosure for it as I'm stressing about my limited budget vs best practices) Your blue print is the most comprehensive I've found on KZbin & any advice is greatly appreciated. 🙏

I got hit with the same problem, it was all a set up smh. No more waves for me.

I don’t used waves anymore🥱🥱

I just find cracked Waves versions and use those.

I’ve been using waves for over 12 years. I agree with all your points. I hate what they are doing with their these licenses. I have wasted over $5,000 on waves plugins and licenses/renewals. A good friend of mine woke me up from wasting money because he is able to get me almost any software free. At first my philosophy was if I’m making money from productions, then I need to invest in something he tools I use. But I realized that if those developers and manufacturers are actually cheating us. It was tough for me to side with my friend but I ended up agreeing. He was able to get me every single waves plugin, not a bundle…..I actually me “every single waves plugin that they have ever made” ALL FOR FREE. And they work like magic with no issues. Now I am free from wasting money and I have all waves plugins available to me. Only issue is i now have a long list of waves plugins instead of specific ones I bought. But this is more peaceful to me than always feeling the pain of these upgrades and versions they keep playing with us with for subscription users. In conclusion, if anyone wants it free for WIN/MAC. I can provide you with the installer and you will thank me later. Only issue is I cannot provide my contact here so go on my channel to find my contact and email me and I will send you the installation file at no cost. I usually don’t comment on KZbin videos but this is my field and I feel your pain because I had to deal with it and now I’m free from it and just wanted to offer help for yourself and any of your viewers who are facing same/similar issue. Other plugins I can get for you is FabFilter, Expanded Softsynth Plugin for MONTAGE M, Synthage, more. All the best to you all and happy music.

Nice tip! Using two compressors can really help in shaping the dynamics smoothly without squeezing the life out of the track. 🎶💪

Fab filter timeless is amazing

My waves plugins consistently stop working. I never know when they are going to work correctly.

I made a vid about Waves. Do you remember March 26, 2023?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqSYXpZ7iKqEsJI

Why are you loading it directly on your machines?? Just load it to a usb key and then take it with you wherever you go.. There's zero reason to load the license activation directly to the machine itself.

Thank you for your support and teaching how to protect your data from unauthorized users. There will always be those who copy your work and take your information and use it against you regardless of backing up your data. Some folks should not be authorized to work in certain fields. This is just how things should be. Not only that but, they should be required to go through a through periodic investigation of what and how they are using their authentications and resources given by their perspective institutions. This is how innocent people are protected vs. malicious bad actor insider threats inside of an organization. By the way, I support the mindset of where you are at. Thanks!

Eventually they will ask you to pay to be able to bounce down a track containing their plugs

For VU meter: mvMeter 2 from TBProAudio or the Presonus VU Meter, both free EDIT: ignore the presonus one, 1) can't seem to find it anymore 2) apparently it had a stupid activation process

Me. They haven't updated their ecosystem format for decades. And it's annoying to have so many freaking files, large at that, scattered all across your computer just like Arturia. Literally, just come up today like everybody else and use modern redistributable mapping and single file VST3 plugins. Even though the present day if they were formatting their plugins in the compressed modern format, I would still only get the Scheps 73 and Puigchild. Those are the only ones worth it to me.

wave does good stuff ,but how market their stuff is insane ,im a reason user when reason had the vst add i brought vst fx from waves a year later i regret it , this day now the are lots of alternative of wave recent Auturia J - 37 is a prof of that i wont mentioning wich plugings you can replace from waves they are lots just check this companies you may fine some interresting fx : Native Instrument ; Softube, Plugin Alliance , Ik Multimedia , Air Musik Technology , kilohearts, Pulsar , SKnote , SSL; UNIVERSAL audio (RECOMMEND ON SALE) , you now also use the reason rack as Vst you can add fx Extension ,black rooster audio they probably even more that i haven discover yet

I HATE WAVES… A bunch of plug-ins I brought no longer work and to make them work I have to join WAVES subscription…. Yes you read that right. Plug-ins I brought before there was ever a subscription don’t work , they are 2-5 builds behind the latest version of OSX I am currently running, but……… the plugins would magically work if I just paid for a subscription

WAVES is a DINOSAUR

Bark of dog is similar to max bass. I have old waves plugs and don’t update my os so they still work but often end up using BOD on my bass

I deleted all my waves plugins (even the ones I bought) after they tried to pull their first subscription scam

I think I'm down to using only two of my 35 Waves plugins. They didn't keep up with the times and their licensing is ridiculous. Sure some tried and true tools but the single computer license is so 1990s. Every plugin I buy now let's you install on at least 2 computers (some go up to 5). Once I upgrade to macOS 15, most of all of them will be incompatible so they are going to just die off into the sunset.

I've put all my Waves plugins have been put into the trash one year ago. Waves does'nt play a fair game. No way I get any of them back.

I have Abbey Road which I got cheap and few others, but I'm not having to constantly update so it doesn't bother me, I can imagine that it's a big shit though...which it is....I have a few other random Waves plugins.....Trueverb, and a few others which were really cheap in sales.....but yeh they are completely up their own arse when it comes to their special licensing..... I got Melda ABassador for sub bass instead of buying R-Bass, I would say that any Melda VST would replace most things if you get to grips with the GUI.....

Yup I can’t stand them or their plugins. Switched to IK multimedia for most of my plugins after the subscription fiasco a few years ago

My alternative suggestions are: 1) Soundtoys Echoboy 2) Arturia J37 (NEW but pricey!) 3) Devious Machines - BASS FOCUS 4) Isotope Ozone Imager/SSL Fusion Imager 5) Infected Mushroom Manipulator 6) UAD Topline Vocal - great real time tuner! 7) Isotope Doubler/ Wider by Polyverse Music 8) SPL Hawkeye from plugin Alliance - brilliant all in one analyser. 9) Pre Sonus do their free VU meter. Keep Rockin'!

Waves subscription model is a DISASTER!)
