[@flamersss]

so would you use the SSL for the mids and API for highs right after it in your chain ?

[@5piece]

You absolutely could if you prefer to break it down across multiple EQs! I prefer the high end of a Neve (or similar emulation) to the API personally. It really boils down to personal preference though! Shoot ‘em all out and see what your ear gravitates towards

[@mixedbysuede]

So do you use all of these plugins simultaneously with each other?

[@5piece]

Yes. You can use just one EQ, or multiple. Sometimes of course it’s easier to just use one, but I often EQ in steps and each one has its own unique sonic characteristics / saturation. There isn’t a hard rule or limitation except for the ones you impose upon yourself 🤘🏻 Hope this helps.

Sir Can we use Bus compressor on a pre master bus with 2 or 3db Gain Reduction then Gain stage and blend our track in to a Compression??? Is this a right way please make one detailed video on this topic thankyou 🙏

[@5piece]

I’m not 100% sure I follow the question BUT it sounds like this video about my mix bus will cover it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5zZgniomMZqodE I also have many other videos on mastering compression so don’t be afraid to go back and visit the older vids on my channel 🤙🏼 I’ll continue to make more in the future to stay tuned and thanks for the suggestions 👊🏼

Thank you sir 🔥

[@5piece]

Anytime!

[@lrryjns]

Just curious, how do you get the artists to let you use their stuff for videos? Great to hear awesome sounding stuff on music tutorials

[@5piece]

Some tracks happen to be my own demos so that’s self explanatory. But a lot of my videos use music from other artists that I’ve personally mixed and mastered, and gotten permission from them to use. I always respect the artist so I make sure I get their blessing, and thankfully these videos help further promote their music. Glad you’re digging it!!

[@Azora1027]

do you add the dynamic eq right after you eq the vocals or after adding the compressor ?

[@5piece]

Depends on the song, sometimes before, sometimes after, sometimes both. Best to use your judgement and when you hear/notice a problem, reach for the tool to solve it 👍🏻

[@MoneyRouteRay]

How do all get those stems? I hear a few people on KZbin mixing that same song

[@5piece]

That’s impossible lol the only person using this song for these tutorials is me since I mixed it and my artist EverythingOShauN created it. We don’t share these files with anyone, unless they found a way to steal it Can you send me a link to anyone else using the song? I’d like to see what you mean

[@fuonstudio]

okay but the song make me Lmao ..... Who is Ade Wan ???? Ade Wan take everything from him or what ??? How dare u Ade Wan

[@5piece]

You’ll have to take it up with the artist EverythingOShauN

[@zaylevelten]

it’s nigerian pidgin, what they’re saying is “and they wanna take my-“

[@mattmatters153]

very misleading and false placebo effect issue.... bandwidth for all pultecs/emulations only affect the high frequency. lows have a fixed shelf...

[@5piece]

Good note - but that doesn't discredit the recipe I provided (widening the Q after selecting the frequency and dialling in gain), nor does your note here apply to the other 3 EQs (non-Pultec) I used in this example. This is a very situational thing based on using the Pultec's alone. Your comment here can be misleading as it would make you think the whole video is a throwaway, meanwhile one small aspect was overlooked yet the entire message still applies 10x. I probably should've used a different EQ to start to demonstrate the recipe first but alas, here we are. I didn't want to skimp over it because then that would be even more confusing when I pull up other EQs and do an entirely different process. Appreciate the clarification either way.

[@mattmatters153]

agreed. Hence why i stated particularly pultec/pultec emulations only. I understand and stated the false placebo because i went through that too prior to learning and fact checking it myself because we can mentally trick ourselves with sounds…etc. haha my comment could be misleading so i specified because the example of moving and setting the q in the video had no sonic change at all, which is particularly misleading/confusing. Cheers though! Keep on keeping on and appreciate the response as well.

[@MrRigazzi]
