in the mix videos: how to mix and eq other production channels: my wife LEFT ME due to this ONE EQ MISTAKE

[@inthemix]

Ok that made me laugh!

[@Darfail]

Lol!

[@jslaughter95]

well played sir

[@scpk2246]

so true.. some kinda blah blah blah just to draw attention

[@jayashp3855]

Producers hate him for showing this secret

[@ZennitMusic]

I think Michael is the only person that is allowed to do any sort of promotion for any plugin. He tells us directly and he is honest! PLUS at the end the video is just so useful :D great job!

[@inthemix]

Thanks man, I appreciate that. Honesty is the policy on my channel!

[@dontbe2silly]

I agree

[@ysink]

[@nicolaspetersen7691]

Man, probably you have the most peaceful and calm way to explain things. Please keep this nice flow cause people like me, with no academic background education, are learning the impossible!!!

[@kylerichard8872]

Every time you upload I know I'm gonna learn something valuable. Saving to my watch later for now!

[@inthemix]

Thanks Kyle!

[@rodgerashish9781]

same here bro...

[@julianvillalba7997]

Dude, I love your channel and how well you explain everything in such a clear, fun and articulated manner. I´m new to recording and mixing and the content you always put out is priceless to me, and I´m sure for many others as well. Thanks and greetings from Argentina!

[@moodmusic787]

I'm so glad they let a person trial this for two weeks! After those two weeks i couldn't imagine making music without this. I had to buy and I can testify that this Plug In Is Amazing. Its like literal magic especially for someone like me who is a beat maker and not a mixing or mastering engineer. It really gives my beats that professional industry sound.

[@CTR-UTH]

In your opinion, do you think that the Gullfoss plugin suite they offer is worth purchasing over something like the FabFilter Pro Q-3?

[@papito2lindo]

I have to say I own this plugin and for me is the absolute cherry on top. A little goes a long way and also I like how you didn’t try to sell the product to us but instead showed us the value the product could bring to our products. ✊

[@harvolamusic9758]

This is a great plugin! Have been using it with pretty much every mix since last spring, and it always makes things sound better by a few %.

[@thesethreekings]

One of the best and clearest mixing tutorial channels. Probably the best. Keep it up 👍

[@MH44444]

I want to thank you for this. I did a trial of this eq and it really works well especially for me. I'm not a great mixer and I have a hard time determining how best to deal with a problem situation and this eq has really improved what I've used it on so far. I was hoping to get a discount on it and thanks to you I was able to do so. A lot of my music sometimes has two distinct parts and one of the problems I've had is that the two different parts require different treatment so having something like this eq is really helpful in that regard as it adjusts in real time to everything.

[@acronus6204]

I just have to say that your guides are amazing. You helped me a lot. Thanks!

[@armanaloyan3043]

Really love your channel. Honest reviews and shows what a plugin is useful for. Thank you for all of your insight!

[@itskdn]

Man, Your Tutorials really help me alot and I'm learning a hell lot of great things from you!! THANKYOU SO MUCH. All the Love from India 🇮🇳💗

[@Derpadeedooda]

One of the best plugins that I've ever purchased. Love the way it glues the mic and fills in the holes in your mix

[@vewilli]

I purchased this Plugin a week ago and now I found your review, which of course helped me in using it …. Thanks!

[@MrJeanie192]

You’re the best music channel on the whole website I actually have learnt so much from you thanks so much

[@ownedbymykitty270]

One of my best plugin purchases of the last 5 years

[@Skyverb]

Thanks a bumch for explaining things as you went. I've been messing with this for a week now, and most of the time the effects are subtle, even if I max out settings to see the difference. Made it hard for me to see what it was really changing. --And in ur acoustic guitar demo the effect was pretty noticable. Thanks for including that as well.

[@SpecterFXXK]

Just bought it, omg this is sooo cool, thanks for the review

[@TheFuneralFrog]

wow INCREDIBLE!! i've been looking for a plugin that does this for years

[@lassi6547]

So useful and pragmatic advice as always. I think this tool will really help people get the job done.

[@Table-Top]

I got this a while ago and use it to tame resonant frequencies quickly. Works good for me. I'm happy with it. I tend to keep my recover/tame settings to about 30% or -30% because its easy to overdo it and end up with something brighter than you need.

[@ElNabulsi]

This video has been very intuitive and truly wonderful. Thank you so much. Off to purchase it now!

[@WassupFred]

You are amazing man!! I love your videos man.. u are so calm and collected and well spoken!! Salute 🫡

[@ChaseEaglesonOfficial]

*4:56** Peter McKinnon wants to know your location* Fantastic video and plugin, always love watching and learning new techniques from your videos. Cheers Michael!

Very good review of this plugin, the best I've seen so far.

[@SDSGODMUSIC]

This is my go to. Love it! Come to think of it, I haven't really seen too much of this plug in here on youtube.

[@xMaSSxHyST3RiA]

420K subs! YEAH BABY YEAH!!! Congrats dude :)

[@JasonDrvmz]

I've been using this plugin on all my mixes for the past few months. It's absolutely amazing, it's simple and straight forward. It's the secret sauce.

[@inthemix]

The secret sauce!

[@Tapepusher]

Do you usually use it on individual elements or would it be a good mastering plugin too?

[@JasonDrvmz]

@@Tapepusher I usually use it on my master channel

[@fpep5]

Great plugin. I've been using it for a while. No matter the source, I get great results by trying to get the bias meter, on the far left, to not move at all or just barely peak above & dip below the zero point. I can't explain why or even confirm if this is the correct way to go about it. The method works for me so I'm sticking to it unless someone can enlighten otherwise.

[@diptabagchi]

You are not only a good teacher, but also a very good human. Love from India🇳🇪

[@11clouds]

Im still on the free trial but im sold after this review, workflow is just so quick i love it

[@Static.Display]

Love your videos! Have learned so much from you! Thank you!

[@tommystewart2692]

That acoustic is so sweet. One of the main reasons I joined, was because of his use of acoustic guitar to demonstrate and illuminate recording and mix techniques.

[@paultae4674]

Good work ladd...bringing the mystery of mixing to the young uns is the lord's work...and you do it well...

[@CC-Pi]

This is amazing! it could save so much time and do more than a human could do with EQ changing 300 times a second to create a perfect balance of frequencies. brilliant!

[@sgammatostudents]

Thank you so much!! This is a beautiful demo!

[@gulfsidestudios3995]

I use Gulfoss on all of my mastering! Works like a charm.

Wow that's amazing!

[@darknature9716]

I’m getting this plugin you can hear the difference 🔥🔥🔥

[@jpr1est783]

I've been using it on the master of orchestral mixes, with the settings so that no more than -2 to -3dB is being boosted or cut. It helps bring out densely (and correctly) orchestrated compositions.

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

Very good! I got to check out that plugin! Sounds very useful!

[@mallkigabriel]

[@SuperDaski]

I use my friend your gullfoss settings with virtual dj, amazing balance and clarity thank you very much

[@terrykeefe8386]

Been using Gullfoss demo of a week and it is quite remarkable. I do believe this tech will blossom in the coming years and we'll see more like this. A little bit goes a long way because you can dial the "heart' from your mix in search of this "everything has to be flat" theory that seems to be in vogue. I can make some really flat, boring mixes but at around "20" for both recover and tame there's a nice sweet spot.

[@inthemix]

Honestly Terry I agree with you 100%

[@MeKaashu]

i have had this plugin for a while but i didnt know how diverse it was, i only used it for Brightening which resulted super massive on sharp leads, i love this plugin.

[@teddym2808]

Thank you for the discount, thank you very much indeed. Just got it for 203 AUD including tax. This plugin is beyond a must have.

Michael; Even when you speak, Your tune and voice is enough to us to prove you are honesty

[@alexmoscatelli149]

Most underrated video you've ever posted

[@compoundaudio]

I've been using this for a while now. It's very good for vocals or melodies that have a lot of Resonance. This defo helps take control of certain aspects that a simple static eq or even dynamic eq can't do. It's also nice across buss/groups but only subtle. Great vid dude

[@inthemix]

Thanks for sharing your tips :)

[@JJRocheO]

100% get this plug in its amazing 🏆

[@Crimzan4]

Really cool Plugin! Thank you for your genuine opinion and insight of it! It's not too expensive either! :) Michael, I gotta ask after listening to all these beautiful sound examples - are you going to release a new album of Miavono? I've been listening to Rise so many times and all these examples (not only in this video) really hype me up to hear more stuff from you. Love your melodies, love your work!!

[@marsnwalker4271]

We are very thankful to you🙏🙏

[@youssoubarro1671]

Really Good 🔥

[@petermowry]

Great tutorial - thank you for the excellent work. Just gained a new subscriber! :-)

[@rockjonez61]

I would have loved to see how this plug in works on vocals. That’s always my biggest issue mixing. Get video bud!!! Always enjoy your calming demeanor!

[@DanielWake]

Rock Jonez For vocals I would say that Soothe is much better. It is made for making them sounding pleasing and removing those bad frequencies. Gullfoss is amazing, but it’s more of a clarity and balancing sound tool.

[@izadjan7249]

Yea man, that bypass reminder as actually valuable haha

[@ZAENMUSIC]

finally it's a good alternative to Sooth vst... grab this everyone!!

[@mennovroom5537]

[@beornthebear.8220]

Nice demo. It sounds good, and a good product sells itself if people know it exists.

[@00IIIIIIIII00]

First of all, THANK YOU for showing us this plugin! ----- My questions: Are Gullfoss and Sonarworks compatible? ------ If so, where in the master chain should each be? ----- Does Sonarworks affect the algorithm of Gullfoss, if it is used? Your tutorials are the best on KZbin...cheers friend!

[@heavyharris5580]

Around 8:00 is when I really started to hear how well it was improving the mix. Sounds great.

[@maatek]

Great review! What's really interesting is how lightweight it is. I expected much more cpu usage.

[@agthaog1986]

thanks a bunch bro. i watched for less hen 3 mins and decided to just go get it. this tool seems almost essential if u ask me. 2 be honest im still not fully understanding the "bias" control fully but im guessing it kinda just gives a contrast to either or effects used

[@RandomAnyThings365]

Guitar melody touched my heart

[@sakshidhiman4604]

Thank you so much 👍👍

[@PharaohLawLess1]

Gulfoss is the cheat sheet answers when taking your SAT. This plugin is great and necessary

[@88keyz]

What I like about this plugin is the visual feedback of the eq frequency actually showing in real time and I also like all the other features of this plugin 👍🏾 the price is over my budget I hope there will be a free give away or contest I can possibly enter to win this plugin lol thanks n much appreciated for the review it was very helpful and knowledgeable

[@inthemix]

What I like is that if it's constantly boosting or cutting a frequency you can dive in there with a normal EQ and correct it first. I do have a discount code in the description but I understand a plugin like this is a big investment :)

[@88keyz]

@@inthemix I agree and I saw the coupon discount thanks and I think this plugin would be wroth it for those that are professionals and making profits from there music Production this just my hobby for now so maybe down the road and when I start making a profit from my music Production I may possibly buy this plugin with the discount included with my purchasing of it lol 👍🏾🙏🏾👍🏾

[@88keyz]

I have started learning more about EQ and many other types of plugins I own by using only a few plugins and plugin effects for a week or 2 straight so I may try this for the 2 weeks free trial and only use this plugin for 2 weeks it seems very simple to use then later in the year check the price around black Friday 👍🏾🙏🏾👍🏾

[@spiv05]

Great vid thank you
