better yet, just use soundgoodizer and you can skip the third step

LMAO, i do the same every single time

I love how you apologise for one tiny mistake. Just shows how much you care about your channel and about not wasting our time. Quality channel right here. And by the way we forgave you before the mistake was even made!

[@Mike_Wazowskii7]

You're on fire with the mind reading. I was just learning this the other day thinking to myself, "I hope the In the Mix guy does this". These stock plugin tutorials you're putting out are just golden. Thank you for being awesome!

[@TRVladdy]

as always, its amazing how much you can still learn even though you thought you had it mastered. I have been using maximus for YEARS now as a mastering tool and compressor in general. Still, even I learned stuff I didn't know about before. I'm not overexaturating when I say that this is propably the best producing tutorial channle in this whole platform. have been recommending you to my friends and clients for quite a while and will keep on doing it. amazing content.

[@inthemix]

Thank you so much for those kind words and for sharing my videos with people, I appreciate it :)

[@ti13cz]

That, folks, is quality assurance.. He went and watched his whole video first, looked out for mistakes, fixed it, before releasing to public. Good job on that, Michael. Again, thank you for making complex tools easy to understand.

[@jeanracaillou8171]

We all make mistakes but not everyone bother to fix them like you did! Cheers Mike, keep up the good work!

[@C.D.J.Burton]

Honestly knowing how to use maximus has made arguably the greatest difference to my development. It really is that "missing piece", used for picking up the bottom of the mix, and doing it in style. The stereo separation is great, it would be good to have panning per band also.

[@josonthebeat]

It's my first comment here. Cause I'm from an African french speaking country. But thank you guy for giving high quality content like these. Helps me a lot ( as a beginner ). And I apply it to the genre I'm producing. Still learning.

[@TheProducerSchool]

Very well explained!

[@beatsbythekilo]

Was just searching your KZbin channel for a Maximus tutorial last night and boom here it is! Amazing channel man. Thanks so much!

[@dallinorr6929]

Bro, just wanted to let you know that you're my go-to for any FL Studio tutorials. Always very clear and thorough. You have a natural gift for teaching. Thanks for helping others the way you do.

[@erma4ellaeu183]

Another great tutorial man. I've learned so much from you! Bro, I am not gonna lie to you I would kill somebody just to see a video of you mixing and mastering a song from the very begining explaining every move that you make. Even if that video was like 2-3 hours I would still watch that.

[@v3rlol]

I come back here every now and then , whenever I forget something, cause there's so many things Maximus does. Hands down the best tutorial out there. You helped A LOT !

[@akashchawda8952]

The simplicity with which you teach everything is simply mind-blowing !!

[@mayim22]

It is easy to take videos like yours and many others for granted, because of how fast paced life is with the internet. Just wanted to say thank you for making this playlist. Great work!

[@musicwithsagar]

I use maximus but I didn't knew anything about it in detail. I only used it either for Mastering presets, deeser preset or give a mono background track fake stereo effect by separating the bands in three different inserts. Thanks for going into detail. I think I will use this plugin more than before from now.

[@Walker-ky9vy]

Like seriously, I recommend this guy for anyone who is a beginner in fl studio. Any aspect of the DAW is well explained by him❤️.

[@Robert-yh3ll]

This guy is probably the best Teacher for beginner music producers to learn everything basic to master.

[@SHOCMUSIC]

Thanks for the tutorial! I actually already used Maximus a lot, but I didn't knew about the sustain part so I'm really glad you mentioned all knobs about this plugin :D

[@kenney0313]

Dude!!! This is easily the most comprehensive foundation-forming DAW Tutorial Series ever! Real Talk.😎

[@jaywolfe5426]

Thank you for everything you do I love these in depth videos on each stock plug in.

[@RobRuffMusic]

I literally just played around with the different bands trying to get rid of boomyness in my voice and it sounds so much better. Thank you Maxiumus.

[@TheBryLife]

Maximus is one of my favorite plugin along with span, loudness meter, imager and REVERB!

[@rhydes_]

The multiple curves compression thing was amazing! I've never heard or thought of it. I guess it can be used as a compressor, a noise gate, and even a transient processor at the same time. Maximus is such a powerful tool

[@nenissaK]

And as a waveshaper when the attack, sustain and release are on 0. That's the only difference between fruity waveshaper and maximus... so 3-band saturation/distortion, exciter that is. Kinda freaking cool! I pretty much use maximus for all tracks

[@DANYALLAYNAD]

nenissaK have been using the saturation on fruity limiter with the attack release and sustain on 0 and didn’t exactly know what it was doing it was jus something I did by accident but now I know it’s using it as a waveshaper. Thanks 🤙

[@Skaerex]

Finally understand the compression now! Thanks!

[@yxshmusic]

I just slap the clear master RMS preset and call it a day 😂

[@pennydon9354]

lool that's me asf... whichever preset works that's it for me.

[@jalentulip5158]

who the hell doesn't slap clear master rms on lmfaooo

[@inthemix]

Job done

[@JustaguyIam24]

I do this on my drums individually to make them pop more in the mix

[@themadsamplist]

The Slam amp master, NY compression or Breakbeat slam presets can be very cool on breakbeats.

[@CyberEditing]

Maximus has a surprisingly large library of presets. It's my first choice for plugins on my mixer tracks.

I just wanna say thank you. i've been watching your videos since 2018 and my music sounds way better. All the way from South Africa... keep it up

[@thaDjMauz]

For the first time in a video, I didnt learn anything directly but somehow getting Michael's fresh look at it does inspire me to use it differently, to re-evaluate how my understanding hasn't changed in these last 5 years or so. Thank you michael!

[@Sash77....oldmanradic]

As a 23 year user of FL Studio and love using the DAW, the most frustrating thing about FL Studio is it's weird and bizarre way of making plugins that just confuse people. They don't stick to industry standards instead make weird ways of doing simple tasks that require more learning and slow down the most important thing and that is the part of actually making music.

[@CPMusic254]

I actually Taught my self on how to use Maximus But Michael has Cleared my creativity by giving me more tips and now am becoming a better sound engineer daily. Much Love from Kenya

[@zawahirjutt]

This one is 100 legit, im not even a bot saved my life when i already finished editing thumbs up!

[@Windklang705]

*Future Michael speaking* I love how even when making mistakes you manage to teach us something: mistakes are not a problem. Actually I quite love the graph of maximus now - the reading input and output is kinda easier to understand than other compressors where you have to know what a dial does and then kinda imagine what will happen when you turn a knob.

[@treroyal5561]

11:19 this is why I like your videos. The future Michael was a good add

[@SilvermainMusic]

I have used Maximus since I started. Always thankful for more insight. Disappointed you didn't go more into 'maximizing' but in the tyle of music you work with I understand. In my 'epic orchestra' stuff I use some maximizing on the master channel 99.9% of the time. It is definitely one of the 'secret sauce' settings in that genre IMO. Thanks again Michael!

Its fun how micheal is making such soft nice pop songs but most of his subscribers making hard edm bangers but hes still teaching is soooo much💞

[@jackstakes]

i used to just browse your videos but I've decided to be one of your Subscriber. love from Zimbabwe. 💯 Imageline should endorse you bruv coz you're great.

[@jon0830]

This is it. one of the best IL plugins ever. There's really nothing quite like it. After a few months of learning and experimenting with it (after avoiding doing that for years) Maximus is now indispensable for me for countless tasks throughout sound design, mixing, bus processing and mastering. Slapping on a preset (which I used to try) really doesn't do maximus justice. I feel it's a plugin you really have to know well and experiment with to get the most out of. It is so much more than simply a limiter or loudness maximization (which it also does brilliantly IF you really know how to get the most out of it). Maybe my favorite plugin of all time.

[@JJ.Picasso]

Maximus is great but the dynamic graph is what kept me from using it. This video def helped me out with that. Always dropping gems.

[@taruhmei]

I was really looking for very long time for a dedicated video on maximus on youtube. Thank you Michal for your help.you are doing great job.

[@Corporate_Desecration]

The dynamics graph has helped me so much with shaping percussive sounds to match the song. The saturation algorithm on Maximus and Fruity Limiter are great if you learn how to use them

[@richie1027]

Brilliant. Articulate, precise, excellent delivery and ability to highlight salient points. Cudos!

[@Fascinatingfacts108]

I am getting use to it 😅... Like you really gotta dive in and try it from all the videos... Best teacher

[@EkeneJesusVictor]

*Awesome tutorial. In the Mix, you're the Best!!*

[@PavelLitkinBorisovich]

Maximus is a crazy super creative saturator! Play with low part of triangle on bass, it can produce super special harmonics and add a lot of flavour to your bass

[@AKAtAGG]

This channel is so fkin good man. Maximus - as with Sytrus when you did that a few days ago - is way more powerful than I ever thought. As good as plugins I've paid lots of money for, going on this video. Top video mate honestly I learn so much from this channel it's unreal. Edit: 'I will try my best to explain this...' then explains absolutely perfectly in a manner that nobody, no matter how new to music production, will understand perfectly. Honestly if i wasn't old enough to be your dad i'd wish you'd been my music teacher.
