Awesome video. Once you “get” both the dynamic/sidechain concept and M/S separation with it, you start using it EVERYWHERE :) Send effects sidechain ducked with the dry signal are a great way to have nice and wet delays & verbs that don’t clutter the mix and yes, you can M/S those, too. One thing to bear in mind, though, is that when you for eg. lower the Mid, the Sides in relation get louder ie. the sound gets wider. If you use heavy Mid ducking, it doesn’t only momentarily scoop out from the range you’re scooping, but can easily make weird phasing artifacts or just sound strange as the sound pumps between normal and sudden stereo widening moments. I’m not saying not to use this technique, but to carefully listen to potential “weirdness” and also that a little goes a long way to clean up a mix, to make that vocal pop on top of a synth for eg. Just a couple dBs of ducked Mids is often enough and that won’t necessarily be (negatively) audible due to masking ie. ears tuning into the vocal, or anything that’s on top.

​@@hawaiirealmedia5610 I agree 100% It's actually sad how many musicians are trying to save a buck not going to an experienced engineer and instead wasting even more money, and more importantly their life.. year after year after year running in circles trying to learn how to get good recordings because they were sold the life that anyone could do it. Not everyone can be a world class guitarist Not everyone can make great recordings. That's just the way it is.
@CrowkeeperStudios
@CrowkeeperStudios 4 ай бұрын
​@@hawaiirealmedia5610 YOU CAN learn on your own, but the issue is this. Most people are sold plugins where the sounds are essentially pre-engineered, pre-dialed in. Drum samples that already have EQ baked in, guitar plugins with all harsh frequencies notched out already, the list goes on and on. These people don't actually learn anything. And even if they did learn some concepts, it's like saying "I'm a great cook" when really the only thing you've ever done is microwave a meal some other chef prepared for you. In order to learn engineering skills, you need to be doing this work CONSTANTLY and you need to avoid taking shortcuts and actually learn the process. How to mic various things up, dialing in stuff that sounds terrible and learning how to problem solve, learning how EQ, compression, de-essing, limiting, clipping and on and on and on the list goes, AND NOT THE EZ BAKE OVEN STUFF! I mean the proper tools with all the knobs that allow you to have great control or make a trash outcome, because it's only there that you'll figure it all out. These 1 knob plugins are why people never learn.

Great video! Let me add that in my opinion the plugin "trackspacer" does an even better job than the two you mentioned. Yes it's 60€, but its dynamic with sidechain obviously, you can high-/lowpass and you can select mid/side or L/R focus. Also you are able to set attack and release times, which is useful for some cases, however I did never use it, as it does such a great job on more or less default settings.

@@benreiter7218 You can choose between stereo- or M/S-mode. In M/S-mode, the Pan-knob behaves differently. If you choose M/S, the pan knob attenuates the mid-band (by turning it to the left) and it attenuates the side-bands (by turning it to the right). Ideal for kick and bass seperation (without compressor-pumping) or bringing vocals more out.

I use EQ after the dolby audio mix. Some people forget this part. My master channel never clips, but my main volume will always clip and never distorts. And it clips alot. I check the bass and mids in my truck and make sure my doors aren't rattling. If they're rattling, chances are there's distortion. I use the Q701's to help me detect distortion. They're the quincy jones limited editions. If you don't got them, get them. If you learn them, you won't look back I promise.

I would say being an actual musician and knowing how to hear and have frequency comprehension helps a ton. I know a lot of bedroom "mixers" who don't play an instrument or have any music skill. And most don't know how to do any of this. I think your ears are the best way solve issues. Small amounts of processing go a huge distance. Also another point most do not bring up. Your source and raw tracks should always sound good coming in. I've seen sessions in Nashville where the song already sounded radio ready before they even touched an eq or compressor. It's crazy.

Wow, thank you for this excellent production tip. This is really helpful and gives me a much needed different perspective and approach to mixing. I especially appreciate you pointing out some key points about the difference between when to use dynamic eq as opposed to just using eq to balance between competing sounds or instruments. And hell yeah, Soothe2 is a really good tool but I. just can't give up that $209. There are other work-arounds as you've pointed out and I am reminded of an old adage a friend would often quote from his mom ... "necessity is the mother of invention".

If you use fl studio, u can just create automation clips for your eq, so it`s dynamic

I think it worth mention that you can also do that for free with lives stock plugins ( env follower & EQ8, even with M/S etc)... 😅

Imo, i think that, prior to all of that, the musical composition of the lead vocal and the synth (or any other part to one another) must musically let space for each other. I see this wonderful dynamic eq trick as a brute force way of fitting two parts together. In other words, if musically, the synth answers the vocal between the vocals intervention, you practically don't need to do this, and the music will be clearer, with a better play around each parts. (Very classical approach, because you can't "mix" in a live room, you "mix" in the composition)

Nice one bro! Sidechaining the subdominant sound using the pro-c is also a great help

I ment to get into this a long time ago as I kinda knew it would be important, but you explained it so good, I hope this free plugin has mid/side option otherwise I think Im gonna pull the trigger on Soothe finally... Expensive yes, but I think this is the step to get my mixes where I want them to be, I felt for a while that there is something that can be done on surten areas of my production and I think this is it.. Thx alot

Happy it can help! Trackspacer is another cheaper option that has mid side capabilities! Worth exploring. See if they let you demo or trial it!
