[@troutstudio]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time for this Chris.

[@gospelmuvgospelmuv]

Thanks, Chris for sharing. Happy Easter!

[@DreamsongsProductions]

Wow, some really useful ones here. Thanks Chris. Great job!

[@gabehizer111]

I'm getting a few of these for sure! Thanks.

[@hansvos5897]

Thanks for these great tips. Love your video's, you've got a nice and relaxing style of explaining.

[@jeramym9506]

I’m sure the green oak plug-ins are good but that UI is baaaaad

[@starsandguitars2050]

Some real jewels. Thanks Chris!

[@dawoodAlsamadi]

Thank you Chris

[@perfasting4342]

Very helpful! Again .... Thanks!! 🤗

[@60secmusic96]

thanks for the work you've done to research and try these plugins and tell us then!

[@TheMixClub]

Great video. Also have you ever thought of doing a video how you do video editing. I like how slick you text and sean changes look..

[@heathceccato2953]

I find it hard to believe a pro like Chris uses free plugins I'm intrigued 😮

[@barr5173]

Thank you!

[@TimelessMrErnie]

Hey Chris, Danke immer wieder für deine Hilfe und deine Tips......Thank you every Time for your Helps and your Tips and your Work...all the best ....Ernie from Germany Albstadt

[@sparklin84]

[@VincentVegardSvart]

Thank you so much

[@Tabzunderground]

This is a great video, damn

[@boudjouraftalal6859]

thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@edisonrosa]

Chris, you rock, as always! Thanks a lot for the video.

[@mixdownonline]

My pleasure! :-)

[@user-sd2sr5we8t]

🔥

[@zinomixx]

So nice

[@gwugluud]

That Cesium chorus is the best one I've ever had, free or paid. It's 6,000x better than Orchid, and I LOVE Orchid.

[@piktormusic2538]

Chris, thank you for all of this information. You are a great source of information that has been very helpful to me in my journey to record original ideas that I have spent years developing. (Man, it is challenging to wear multiple hats of composer, performer, recording engineer, mixer, and eventually mastering engineer and administrator.) As I have found the Pultec "trick" useful on the bass very useful, I for one would love to see you share some more ideas about such EQs. Thanks so much!

[@ramspencer5492]

App really good sounding, competent free plugins! Good list! 😎

[@mixdownonline]

Thanks 😀

[@timharrisonmusic]

would love to see a Pultec-type eq video....thx for all your work!

[@QuaverloveStudio]

Ok, so I'm still going through them. Tungsten - tried it on some rhythm guitars. Amazing! I particularly like the Smear and Wear settings. Frank CS - using it the way Chris uses the Blackbox ... just turn it on and leave it. What a difference it makes! Currently on my strings buss. Comper - I've had it for a little while and had only used it once. Chris's explanation prompted me to check it out again. Gonna try it out on some vocals. Now gonna try and find Chris's pdf on compressors... still learning. Once again, thanks a bunch, o Leader of the MCC! *UPDATE* Comper - still testing, but DAMN! I may be a bit premature in saying this, but I think I've just found a way to [at the very least] reduce my use of the Vocal Rider plugin, which I really love.

[@user-nk9gz1gw9h]

отлично! спасибо, дружище!!!!

[@johnbarry9692]

I use a lot of these too and there are also low latency versions for some of them.

[@mikepianist1000]

Thank you Chris ❤💐

[@mixdownonline]

You are so welcome

[@jaymusik1235]

Thanks Chris

[@mixdownonline]

You're welcome

[@jamisbillson4872]

Green Oak Software creator took time to chat to me about his Synth Crystal. Lovely chap. Brilliant plug ins too.

[@CharlesK441]

What is the background music 🤔 Does anyone know @ 14.45

[@TazzSmk]

nice list! didn't know about those Green Oak plugins, will definitely check them, Bertom also make nice usable free zero-latency multiband denoiser, must have for voice/podcast work, usable even on live streaming, free Ozone Imager is kinda mediocre, messes phase too much mostly, I prefer using free Polyverse Wider instead :)

[@thelightmonkey1970]

Pultec EQs always leave me wondering if I'm using them properly. Any help gladly received!

[@rickmassimo6192]

I agree! I have the RareSE and I always try it and then take it off. Same with the Plugin Alliance Black Box (not free). But people whose opinions I respect love them both. I would love tutorials on these.

[@mikeymoo71]

Cheers Chris! Will be definitely downloading a few of these. And I would very much appreciate a dedicated video on Pultec EQs too! 👍🏻

[@Jzeable]

limiting vs clipping, please!

[@Byron101_]

Pitch Drift = Cubase´s stock plugin "Vibroto"! same result....

[@HanyAhmed-vk7rq]

Welcome first I would like to know what type of mic you are using Also, I want a video that teaches us how to sing on well-mixed music, like the music available on KZbin.. How can I deal with it and add my voice and get the best result

[@whatscookinginthekitchen8520]

search "how to mix vocals on a 2-track" and youll get your wishes

[@michaell.8938]

Analog Obsession plugins require a patreon subscription.

[@mrrnrob]

18:43 Did I Hear "Bitch" Drift

[@gwugluud]

Why is it always that same disco-duck vocal.

[@youthmanrecords965]

I have a feeling in 2050 they will make a best of 2050 free vst video . It will be a tradition that us humans just expect to happen
