Love this video Dave!!! You do such a good job on these videos. I am so happy engineers are sharing on KZbin.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

I appreciate that!

[@kenkrugger]

Great mix! Thanks for sharing this. I love seeing the methods people use. I’m glad I’m not alone in using presets as a starting point. This is so helpful

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thelightmonkey1970]

Great video, thanks Dave

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@AtomEcho]

Thanks!

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

No problem!

[@OfficialAlexZitto]

Nice, keep the good work 👍🏾

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks, will do!

[@1loveMusic2003]

That's a nice 2 bus hardware chain!

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks!

Both the Empress and the silk of the MBT sound just amazing. I was wondering what kind of gates you where using but now I know, thanks. I definitely like the Sonnox Drum Gate, there are sometimes sales with 50% off so then it's 80 instead of 160. I also dig the CLA Epic, really a versatile plugin. Great video Dave, thanks 👍🏼

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

The Sonnox is not $160 but $230. Too. much in my opinion. The Slate Gate works fine for me

[@Studio22mix]

@@MixingMusicAnalog damm you’re right their prices are in pounds, that’s 210 dollars 😮 Ah well 105 when in sale 😅

[@kokocreatesmusic]

hey I noticed in your new setup with the mic and controllers in front of you: can you still reach the bus comp on the console ok? - and this leads to the actual question behind it: do you even adjust it a lot or kind of have a go to setting that just works for you?

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

The console compressor is pretty much set it and drive the signal into it. I dont reach for it much

[@braxal6983]

The bummer thing about the Rupert Neve MBT is its main thing is the super silk and widener. Other than that nothing else is really needed. For now I am using Nfuse plug-in for those until they come out with a dedicated box with super silk. I watched many videos including audio animals and the plug-in super silk and widener are great. Nufuse also just updated the plug-in with harmonics on the super silk section. I cannot reason 4k expense. When the dedicated box comes out I will buy that.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Makes sense!

[@braxal6983]

I just got the SSL Bus +. For me it is a must have. Way better than the hardware SSL G Comp. There is so many things you can do with that box. It is sick

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

I would love to try the Bus + to see how much better / flexible it is. Unfortunately, SSL wont send me one. :(

[@braxal6983]

@@MixingMusicAnalog They need to send it to you. Once you get it you will most likely keep it!

[@johndoe-cb5ck]

​@@MixingMusicAnalogyeah if you can get one somehow that would be awesome! I can't make up my mind if I like the api 2500 (plugin alliance version) or a ssl bus ( analog obsession version) they both sound great!

[@projekct_amk]

Very Enjoyable and lots of inspiration, I have never seen Trigger 2 which is the biggest interest to me, I have a tendency to stay away from Slate stuff, but I might give that a blast! Im currently waiting for the Metric AB to get a tad more attractive (poor Scottish student) too. Uncle David, thank you for your efforts on all your content.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

I love all the Slate stuff and Trigger 2 is pretty much the industry standard and has never failed me

[@darrylweller6143]

Can you do a video on the MBT?

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Yes, it's on the list do do for sure!

[@SenecaMeyer]

Hey Dave. For drum replacement - what's your approach to pitch? Are you tuning the samples to the song and then tuning the 'live' tracks to match or are you going by what was recorded as the primary and pitching the sample to match?

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

I dont tune the samples to the song.

[@alainjulot3490]

I remember you had a Presonus Quantum vs UAD apollo x16 AD/DA converter. What converter have you finally decided to use ?

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

The Antelope Galaxy 64

[@johndoe-cb5ck]

Hey Dave, so I'm thinking about getting studio one artist and I'm confused about third party vst...I hear you can't use them? I coming from cakewalk by Bandlab and I love it but it will soon be a paid daw and I'm thinking about upgrading to studio one...HELP!....and I'm going to steal some of your tips,hehe...very helpful video

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

You may want to check with Presonus about Artist. They may have changed things.

[@johndoe-cb5ck]

@@MixingMusicAnalog cool! I will

[@Romad_20]

​@@johndoe-cb5ck I use Studio One Pro but has artist before. You can 100% use 3rd party plugins without an issue. Nobody would use it otherwise

[@TilTheEndOfficial]

BSA Silencer is pretty damn good.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

I heard of that. I need to check it out at one point.

[@neltom50]

Using plugin samples on an acoustic drum recording?? Now I understand the Roland kit, in your room

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Aghh, no you don't....lol
