Thanks so much for checking it out!

my pleasure man! I appreciate you checking it out!

Much thanks man!

Sorry for the slow response! I really appreciate you checking out my video, and if it helped in any way that's great!

Kush rocks! Thanks for checking out the video!

Thanks for your support at T-M and for checking out this video!

sorry to hear that! I've had nothing but great customer service from Tom Frampton (who owns the company). I'm sure he'd be happy to help you out!

Yes any saturation plugin can tame peaks (if driven hard enough)...at the time I made this video Kelvin was one of my new toys so I used it...but I still use it a lot to this day. It's a great plugin!

@@tourna-mix7557 thanks mate, can you tell me what your favorite plugin for this goals is nowadays? and your favorite neve emulation?

Hey, yep I own about 80% of what UAD has put out...Noiseash is every bit as good IMO.

@@tourna-mix7557I think NoiseAsh's Pultec crushes UAD's IMHO. Also their Neve's are really amazing.

Hey! Ya I’ve never found using samples for brushes works….I’d suggest trying to just use the real drums provided. Good luck!

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

Totally agree!

I usually only use the pan knob when a track is hard panned.

@@tourna-mix7557 But is it any different than not hard panning, regardless? I just downloaded the demo so i will play around with it.

I’m not 100% sure I understand the question….whenever the crossover frequency is engaged pan knob will function differently than traditional panning….regardless of whether the track is hard panned or only gently panned - and this is because some frequencies are left up the middle. When the crossover is disengaged pan knob functions exactly like a normal pan pot.

It’s just that when a track is hard panned the effect of pan knob is obviously felt the most. But ya, best thing is to try the demo.

Money well spent! The Ruletec is exceptional! All their plugins are.

Awesome! No one has time for manuals 😉

nice one

A sample is a prerecorded or computer generated sound used to either replace a drum element, or to supplement by combining the two or more samples depending.

Nice one

Oh hey man! Thanks so much for checking it out!

I can't remember the exact science behind it...but it's definitely a plugin that was designed to solve the issue of how we hear things in headphones. It has to do with crosstalk I think. On speakers I honestly can't hear the difference on and off, but on headphones (in certain applications) it's night and day different. There may be a slight difference on speakers but the intention of the plugin really is to make things sound better on headphones. Thanks for watching!

Ya it's a really cool EQ for sure! I'm looking forward to getting to know it even better.

Thanks Tomas!

@@tourna-mix7557 I went with the same mixing approach but with different plugins because I don't have Pulsar Audio ones , I have demo them and Pulsar Massive is a special one!

Yes it’s a very nice EQ!!

I appreciate you taking the time to check it out Ryan!

So when a clipper is used gently it’s essentially a way of reducing peak levels without actually changing the way a track sounds. I think of it as buying headroom. Whereas a compressor changes the sound of a source due to its attack and release which shape the envelope of a sound. SO to answer your question I’d generally put a clipper before a compressor if the source is overly dynamic - clipping prior to compression will even out the signal and allow your compressor to work less hard. But if a signal isn’t too dynamic I might put the clipper after the compressor just to lower the final peak level. It’s not uncommon on drums to clip BOTH before the compressor and after, especially when mixing heavier styles of music that require a very loud master. SO you’ll have to experiment …clip before, after, or both!

@@tourna-mix7557 Great, thanks.

fair ball! lol

I was just going to say the same thing

Ha! That’s hilarious….I agree!!. Thx for watching .

Thanks for checking it!

Hey man thanks for checking it out! Any plugin that has "multi band" capabilities basically means it can be used to affect a specific part of the frequency spectrum (for example a multi band compressor can be set to compress everything below 300 hz) whereas any "full band" plugin affects the entire frequency spectrum. Kelvin allows you to direct the situation to specific frequency areas so it kind of acts as a multi band tool...although strictly speaking I'm not sure it qualifies as multi band as there are no cross over points (like there are in Saturn). Kelvin works by using an internal side chain pre-saturation EQ (the EQ faders on the left) to shape the sound before it hits the saturation. Amazing tool!

@@tourna-mix7557 Thanks for the explanation. I have investigated this too and I want to add that in a multiband every band is processed individually whereas on a single band design, like the Calvin, always the full bandwidth is processed. But with the side chain filters (that's probably how the Calvin works) you can determine which frequency has more or less effect on the processing. The same you said, but in other words.

@@NikolausBrocke yes exactly!! You got it 🙂

Hey Theo! Man thanks so much for the encouraging feedback! And thanks for being a T-M member! Glad someone is watching these videos 😉

@@tourna-mix7557 No problem. Watching this really helped me to see how I've been 'over-mixing' tracks when I could just keep it simple and straight forward. I mixed a track today with that in mind and I think it's probably the best track I've ever mixed! Looking forward to next month's tournament, keep making dat music

I hear ya! It’s amazing how easy it is to overdo things!

Hey thanks so much! I appreciate you watching and I’m glad it helped in some way!

@@tourna-mix7557 and you made me grab that boz panner … Can you hear the effect of a panned mono instrument track not only in solo but when its mixed with a full arrangement ? Again i found your presentation very impressive

Cool, it’s worth owning! My experience is that it’s most valuable whenever you have a mono instrument (that’s panned) in solo….so like a panned guitar that starts a song for example. When there are a lot of other instruments playing it’s effect/value isn’t as noticeable….and of course, it’s only on headphones that any of this matters. I don’t find I need this plugin on every mix, but when I do need it it’s a total game changer! Happy mixing!

@@tourna-mix7557 i can easily hear the effect on my speakers

@@tourna-mix7557 could you please explain why only on headphones ? I can easily and clearly hear it on my speakers

Thanks for watching!!
