I have learned so much from your videos! Thank you so very much!

[@maxbunkercamp]

With the acoustic guitar in fingerpicking I use parallel compression, as it is softer. I also send reverbs in parallel, with a very natural result.

[@Hocus_Tokus]

Parallel processing is the usual way to treat reverbs or delays (the aux tracks being merged with the dry tracks in the mix bus). Using reverbs on inserts may though be interesting for creative purposes.

Hi Joe - do you know if using the splitter on one console channel is more cpu efficient than using an additional channel/s instead? Also do you know of alternatives for the S1 forum , feeling abandoned and getting withdrawal symptoms! Thanks for your content.

Love you Joe Gilder, you are a fantastic audio engineer

Wish I'd known this years ago. Another great video. I'd love to see more videos talking about terminology, and in particular how different DAWs (and audio engineers) use different terminology (eg sidechain/ducking, send/aux, parallel compression/New York compression - and the list goes on). I've learnt about so many techniques but then figured I can't do them as my DAW doesn't support them, only to find out later that it's called something completely different in my DAW. And just to get it off my chest, the term that bugs me the most is 'gain reduction'. How is that logical?!! 😕

You talked about this at one point - does Splitter tool automatically balance the split signals so they come out to the same volume after combining as before splitting? I won’t end up with 200% volume if both split signals are at 0db before summing, right?

Simplicity lesson I just learned, getting rid of stereo enhancer plug-ins. It wasn't doing anything good. I will attempt to get some stereo like effect another way. Slight difference in left or right EQ, or slight timing difference in the left vs right delay, reverb.

Trying desperately to wrangle the money together to get the big discounted course deal. Just got to tell the wife if I don’t get it now it’s going to cost us a lot more when I finally do!

Joe, where does a guy go to get a basic education and get started in music production? I bought Presonus 3-4 years ago, got immediately overwhelmed, and quit. I need a primer, a teaching tool that helps me get set up and running. Ideas...?

[@HomeStudioCorner]

My courses do exactly that. They're on sale until friday. www.homestudiocorner.com/bf

[@ThreadBomb]

Did you read the manual?

[@romangrayjr]

@ThreadBomb I don't remember a "manual" that came from Presonus that tells how to start from square one in music production. That's where I'm at. Have never used a DAW before, don't know how to set it up, or the parts and devices I need to assemble. I've just got a bit of experience with my Yamaha AW16G hard disc recorder from 2001.

@@HomeStudioCorner If I buy the bundle, does it teach how to set up my equipment somewhere in there?

[@HomeStudioCorner]

Somewhat, but you've gotta learn how to set up your specific equipment. Everyone's system is different.

[@tedbahas]

Hey Joe where are you going with that gun in your hand....?
