I really appreciate your videos. Please continue to fight the good fight against subscription models. Not all musicians have consistent paychecks in order to access our own art from month to month.

[@danieldavies3774]

I narrowed down my list of plugins a few months ago. These are essentially the only plugins I use now: • EQ: IIEQPro - DDMF • Compressor/Limiter: DC8C - Klanghelm • Reverb: Cinematic Rooms - Liquidsonics • Reverb: Valhalla Room - Valhalla DSP • Delay: Valhalla Delay - Valhalla DSP • Saturation: SDRR - Klanghelm • Multi FX: BYOME - Unfiltered Audio • Ducker: Trackspacer - Wavesfactory • Master Comp: MagicDeathEye Stereo - DDMF

[@danieldavies3774]

I also do not like subscription models at all. I’ve moved from Pro Tools to Digital Performer and couldn’t be happier. I also moved from an Audient ID14 interface to the MOTU M4 and the DAC sounds so much clearer, natural, better depth, better stereo image, better preamps, less latency...the M4 is an AWESOME little interface.

[@tonal.states]

If you have the latest version of reaper, the cockos team added a Loudness meter, which imo is great and consumes almost no cpu

[@pvalenti]

You bring up a very good point. Since moving in May of this year I haven't set up my recording PC. Instead I am using my MacBook Pro. A lot of my stupidly huge collection of plug-ins are PC only. To be honest I don't miss a lot of them. My Fabfilter bundle works, so does my Slate and iZotope stuff works as well. I like to participate in a monthly mixing contest for Reaper users and the rules are limited to using only stock Reaper and JS plug-ins. To be honest, I can get a great sounding mix using just those plug-ins. I now understand that to be useful a plug-in needs to satisfy one of two criteria, it either needs to save time or provide character. If it doesn't do one of those, I don't need it!

White Sea, I'm a huge fan of your videos. As a computer engineer and software designer of 20 plus years, I can most assuredly say, having a stable OS with reliable software is almost a unicorn in the IT business. Especially if you're running the latest and greatest updated versions. If you really want stable, you'll have to adopt the same methodology as most government agencies around the world do business. None of the big players (including military defense systems) are running anything relatively new. Most are between 3 - 5 years behind the technology curve. So, the aim would be a machine that is at least 3 years old with compatible software that NEVER goes on the web! A dedicated stand alone that is optimized to your specific needs. That is attainable and practical. All other scenarios leaves one chasing their proverbial tail over one issue or another.

[@Drfresh1402]

That plugin is incredible. It has a very 3D sound.

[@matt_nyc_audioengineer]

@@Drfresh1402 When it works on the project it's amazing! It really only seems to like certain genres tho which to me is super strange for a mastering-grade compressor! That's why I am on the fence.

[@5adb0i]

I personally prefer the SPL Iron, and many engineers I know with lots more experience than I have would agree the Iron kicks the Shadow Hills’ Ass. Plugin alliance makes a plugin version of the compressor. I’ve compared the plugins (not hardware) and agree that spl just sounds better. I’ve also used a hardware spl but not the shadow hills.

[@matt_nyc_audioengineer]

@@5adb0i Yes, of the two on most things that would be my choice as well. The only thing about Iron is I saw a test somewhere on KZbin (maybe Paulthird or whatever his name is lol) where Iron was causing all kinds of fun problems becuase of not having oversampling maybe. I saw the video in passing honestly but it does exist lol. I still. use both compressors from time to time but I am VERY gentle with both when I use them,

[@Table-Top]

I own the PA Elysia Alpha, - I love it. Nice characterful compression and helps width too. I also own the Vocal synth but not used it at all really. It also crashed my Reaper when trying to use it in midi input mode.

Melda is great, that free bundle is endlessly useful. Thanks for this, the plugin mania has gotten out of control and I admit I was drawn in. Reviewing my plugins the other day I was astonished that the majority I never use.. but of course they are all used all the time by "grammy winning producers"! Economy makes for a seamless, and therefore creative, workflow. Let me add my small voice to the subscription objections. Being in graphics, when Adobe went there years back, it was all stockholder driven, and I hated it then and still do

My M1 Big Sur mac also regularly had the pink/magenta screen crash. And that's without using any 3rd party drivers or external devices attached. This is on a very basic used for internet only M1 MacBook Air. Issue seems resolved for me also after the 11.3 or 11.4 Big Sur update. Just wanted to note that I don't think it was really related to your driver/external devices but was a core MacOS Big Sur M1 issue up until recent. The driver/external devices just may have exacerbated the issue to crash more frequently but it would have happened anyway. Glad Apple fixed it. Also appreciate this video. I've been starting to strip back my plugins to what comes with my DAW of choice, and have just a few 3rd party plugins from FabFilter and Valhalla and ditch all my subscription based software.

[@JayYarbroughMusic]

[@billB101]

I hear that, after nearly 3 decades of Mac ( spent a lot of time working as a freelance trouble shooter/tech maintenance for high end studios in London too, all Mac based ) I made the switch to PC mainly for motion graphics ( C4D, Resolume, Touch designer, Unreal engine etc. ) but started using the PC for music and was blown away. My only issue is aggregate audio devices are awful on PC's but apart from that really loving the switch. It's kinda liberating being away from Apple's ever growing walled garden too.

[@threeforcegaming1769]

I like the Ozone suite for the limiter and I like the EQ as well. I tend to I grab the vintage Comp and vintage eq for certain projects to tame low end or add high end without adding the ultra highs. Other than that, I use the Elysia Alpha on nearly every project, Brainworx SSL on occasion and the old Variety of Sounds "Density III" compressor/limiter as the first step in my master bus on every project. Few others sprinkled here and there for very specific jobs but these are my mains.

[@m.i.stapes]

I like some of the textures from Kush Audio plugins. I'm not sure I've seen you talk about those.

[@kevinellis4729]

Man. Not gonna lie. I'm impressed by your patience with M1. That sounds horrible to me. I can't remember the last time anything crashed on me on my windows 10 studio machine. 10 minute reboot?? Geebus. Well, good luck! Hopefully it gets better quickly.

[@goofballjones5220]

On a M1 like he is. Reaper hasn't crashed on me. In fact, my entire Mac hasn't crashed and has been up and running for over a month, and the last reboot was due to an OS update. It's very stable. Not sure why his takes that long to reboot, mine is up and running in less than 30 seconds.

[@TheSlickoify]

I love the Elysia Alpha Compressor plugin. Bought it many years ago when Plugin-Alliance didn't even exist. Imagine dropping 300 bucks on a compressor plugin haha. I'm still using it because it sounds so good and special. The only thing that always sounded weird to me is the soft clipping.

[@J-DUB-F1]

More and more that Elysia Alpha is my go to mix buss comp. Even when the comp is barely doing anything, that soft clipper is gold!! :-) No more True Iron ??. I've got all the Kazrog plugs now. Their True Dynamics comps are now my go to for bass. No more SoundToys ??

I'm quite sure that pretty much everyone is going to get their stuff caught up to M1 eventually, but I'm still hesitant to go for the M1 over the most recent Intel Mac Mini even though I really need to upgrade my computer sooner than later. Do I bite the bullet and get the M1, or go with what I know EVERYTHING that I currently have will absolutely run on 100%? The M1 is actually more cost effective when not strictly considering the music production aspect. I'm not usually indecisive, but in this case there are real pros and cons for either choice.

[@dassonntagskind]

The De-Esser is actually my least favorite plugin from FF - it must be buggy because it heavily (!!) degrades the audio even when not doing anything. Had oversampling switched on, put the threshold up completely so its not doing anything, and did a blind fold test with it. Could tell 4 out of 5 times when its switched on. Would be cool if you could look into that.

My personal experience with Windows 10 and audio: all fine and dandy, even with updates Experiences I've heard from multiple sources about Mac and audio: a nightmare with every update, plugins (can) become unusable or even obsolete I'm not a specific fan of Windows or Mac, but for my own personal preference, I love not having to worry with Windows.

[@saricubra2867]

You simply need a fast CPU, very low latency, fastest storage and RAM with the capacity that you need, it doesn't matter if you use Apple Sillicon or the x86 guys (Intel and AMD).

[@dykodesigns]

I use a Windows PC (self picked components, core i5-9600K with 32 gb of ram) and an iPad. My biggest gripe with Windows is that we’re still stuck with the ancient ASIO standard. It’s great when you’ve got native hardware drivers for an interface (such as my Steinberg UR-242) but it becomes a different story when you want to record from a USB mic and an interface at the same time. Then it’s back to less ideal solutions such as generic ASIO drivers which use WDM drivers under the hood. For some reason inputs 3&4 of my interface only work with the ASIO driver, and are not seen by the standard windows WDM driver. When I connect that same interface to my iPad, all 4 inputs can be used simultaneously without needing to install a driver. This is something Microsoft should fix in Windows 11. Wasapi has such a good basis, but it’s these little details that make me look at the M1 mac mini even though my custom built pc has more I/O and expandability options. Sadly windows 11 would force me to give up on my legacy boot mode having to reinstall everything from scratch. The disadvantage of the M1 mac mini would be not having a built-in Blue ray drive which I still use a lot. If I could only buy a motherboard with an M1 chip and built in a pc case….

[@TheBlackMP]

@@dykodesigns Well, that might be the reason I have no problems with Windows: I use external RME audio interfaces with dedicated drivers.

[@dykodesigns]

@@TheBlackMP I use the native Yamaha-Steinberg driver when possible (which is very stable) and it works well with Cubase, but it’s the odd situation when I want to record a voice over for a video, I have to use a Yeti Black usb mic as I don’t have an XLR mic yet. So, I use the FL studio ASIO driver for these cases, but it’s not ideal. There’s just something cumbersome with ASIO at times, it’s powerfull, but it’s the long in the tooth late 90’s architecture of it that becomes a limitation. It was invented long before USB audio and multi-client use cases existed and Steinberg never bothered to improve it in that area. It’s a dinosaur from the Windows 95 / MacOS 8 era, designed from that era’s perspective on audio hardware and operating system limitations. It was great for that time period. ASIO disappeared on the mac platform a long time ago because of Core audio. To me, I just have a love/hate relationship with ASIO because of this. I want WASAPI to be better, a native technology that is more integrated with the OS. I wish both Steinberg and Microsoft would see this and get together and improve it. To me, Core audio seems to have the best of both worlds. To summerize: we need a better way to aggregate audio devices in Windows.

I simply think it's pointless going with M1 until all the bugs have sorted themselves out... what is the upgrade for if you lose a lot of things? The lesson of who many plugins don't really help is good, but then you need what you need, and if it isn't on that system what is the point? Professionals tend to buy stuff that just works so there's no time wasted, so this isn't a upgrade I would make myself until these chips works liked all the others

"Now, we're going to take a look at the VST3 plug-ins" as he shows you the ones he mainly uses. If you're getting hung up on "made for Apple Silicon" part, that simply means that the it hasn't been recompiled as a Universal app yet...meaning it runs NATIVELY on both x86 and AMD64 chips. If it's still an X86_64 only plug in, as you can see it called in the list, it will STILL run, but using a thing called Rosetta 2 on M1 Macs. It still runs. It still runs on AMD64 Reaper. It's just that it hasn't be re-compiled to be "optimized" for M1 yet...but they still run. If you go on in the video to 6:20 you see him talking about his elysia alpha compressor where he says "it's not native on Apple silicon", yet it IS running. You can even see the title of the window saying (x86). He DOES say he has performance issues with that plug-in because it's not ARM64 native yet, but that's it. It does still work.
