I’ve struggled for the longest time while using bass plugins. The low end on my P Bass just seemed completely out of control! I kept thinking to myself, surely I shouldn’t be high passing as high as 100-200Hz, essentially the fundamental range of the bass. When you mentioned here that DI signals can be much stronger, that makes much more sense. However, is recording direct from the bass guitar into an interface an ideal method? Or perhaps there should be something in between? Thank you.

I think it sounds better before the processing

Good to run this on a send and blend.

My Studio is in my Storage Unit. I miss my Studio... 😥

I can hear the difference, with that warmer low end, but.. its not hugely different, highlighting for me that the better the source signal the less you have to do.. and it always has to be kept in perspective that its about how it all sits with the rest of the track.. hearing it solo like this is a bit misleading id suggest..

5 years later, do you think the focusrite is still relevant? I was thinking about adding it. I have the ssl and amek 9099.

The peak of the output is way higher than that of the input, of course the processed signal sounds louder. The input peaks at around -6db while the output peaks at around 0db. Redo this demo with the peaks matched please. I really want to know if this plugin is actually worth a damn or just snake oil.

Faith No More's King For A Day... Fool For A Lifetime (which Andy Wallace produced) has one of the best bass sounds of all time

Nice

Cool!!!

Not my favorite trick. Cuts through, yeah, absolutely, but with heaps of "ch's" and "s's" and "kuh's" and whatnots. Not pleasing to my ears. It's a quick-and-efficient trick when you don't have the time to go deeper: there should be more room in the mix, in the highs, to start with! The instrumental mix is way too rich and busy up there. This trick is similar to those employed in mastering for loudness wars... compete, compete, compete!

ok so I take out harshness, but then the dullness of the vocal takes over. what plugin can rejuvenate the dullness and make it more full without enhancing more of the harshness.

Shame these aren't part of the PA Mega bundle like some of their other stuff.

I send all the instruments in a slapback and I love it!

would this be effective for me as I am deaf in one ear. I wonder if abbey roads studio 3 would be better since I can tilt my head and listen with my left ear?

Better suited as a supplemental processor, not as the sole plugin on a mix buss. And yes, oversampling makes all the difference.

More commonly known as the Abbey Road reverb trick

Subscription? Nah. 🤣

Great Channel. Subscribed!

We were we… just bought it for the vibe and old times sake. This is a perfect beginning run through- thanks.

Thanks! I was googling around to find out what the 2SPC button is for and you answered it precisely and right in the beginning of the video section I expected to find it. Thanks for not wasting my time!

I am doing this currently on an analog console and an outboard compressor. And am running into some significant phasing issues. As I push the Aux fader up to blend it gets really thin and all of the low end goes away and doesn’t come back until the parallel signal over takes the primary signal. I really want this to work with the analog channels.

Great tip. though in the digital world these work arounds that Andy has done aren't really needed.

Would of been better if we heard it in context with the music.

this was a game changer. thank you

You should NOT be using Andrew Scheps’ photo unless you’re interviewing him. You’re just talking about his technique:/

The Fletcher Munson curves are right ! But only if you have a flat neutral monitoring speaker in your studio... If not, so when you have a taste speaker setup, the curves are useless... Cause you hear, what the FM curves show, when you mirroring the FM curves, horizontally In a flat neutral scenario, you hear, the screaming mids or the lack of bass, easily... I have a flat neutral speaker setup and have the FM curves in my mind... It works :-)

2:24 Knowing the Kiive, it would be different with the oversampling on

What is this DAW you are using?

E drum kits and this software... BIG no so far, about 2 years into owning it, it looks nice and is nice, but its a pain, omg.... it just seems to forget more things then you ever can make it do.

Fantastic overview, just the right amount of everything.

What decibels does Andy mix at when he’s mixing at low levels?

You could call this fader a “remote threshold”… you can use this technique for recording vocals to keep the recording from over compressing.

Piano sounds like the cheapest garbage ever

Is that an original song?

Why what is the point of it? Do people no longer have a brain? More Ai rubbish that no one really needs😡

To me it sounds like the class a is in stereo and the original is in dual mono. I personally prefer the sound of dual mono over stereo compression for mix bus. Here I feel there is more depth on the original… is that just me?

you don't need to hi pass bass and kick your subwoofer is not going to explode

Burnley 73 and the Need 73 were my favorites.

Great work, but I'm curious as to why we can't just use the high pass filter on the neve? Why filter on the ssl if the neve already has a high pass filter?

It would be great to go over the meters! I purchased this plug in and love it!

I knew this was going to be live instrument processing the minute I sauce waves plug-ins

Where are the metal grooves? I can only see three metal grooves in the list, with some extra fills

The solo DI sounds better.

Did he use a widener plugin for AC GTRS? THANKS

Electri guitars only or Acoustic Gtrs too? Thanks

Knock knock from 2024, I have about one hundred WAV files (church services) that were recorded on one channel. The mixer had a 3.5mm going out of the right monitor directly into a digital recorder. The digital recorder is set on Stereo, but was only getting that one input. The audio quality itself is fine… I would love to convert these all to stereo or at least have audio coming into both right and left headphones…. Thanks for letting me bump and share my issue.
