Jaycen Joshua talks about underrated and overrated plugins and how to mix like a pro

[@breezyoakk]

Funny seeing this now, this is from late 2023! I was in the crowd, super cool seeing Jaycen in Hamburg And my questions are in the vid too 24:25 😂

[@fremadethis]

ayy my guy breezy

[@breezyoakk]

@@fremadethis my man! 🤝

[@vektacular]

I absolutely LOVE the God Particle…I achieve stronger sounding mixes, louder mixes, more focused sounding mixes and I can use it for saturation…it’s Amazing!!!!!!!

[@nofood1]

Ive never tried it. Will do.

[@raminiizadi]

LOT OF GEMS

[@xanderpills]

Not sure if Soothe2 uses AI or machine learning though. It simply looks at a signal and the resonant peaks, and applied a reduction.

[@zaydarain]

deadass thought it was a spectral eq in a way?

[@user_s4m777]

apparently its not AI but "intelligent algorithmic processor" same for gullfoss, gullfoss explicitly mentions its NOT AI on their website

[@andreksjour]

It's not so simple, but yes, its not Ai.

[@xanderpills]

@@andreksjour I think what you're referring to must be the underlying algorithm where the user can define some characteristics of the resonance suppression, such as "Selectivity" etc.?

[@andreksjour]

@@xanderpills That as well, but i was refering to your "resonant peaks". The algorithm is identifying harsh frequencies. The amplitude is not relevant, i don't think.

[@adithyasatheesh127]

Havana? They hated that mix? That is one of the best mix job I've heard in the recent years.

[@compucorder64]

Some underrated, or at least not well enough known are Otto 11 11 11 amp, absolutely killer and for high-gain kicks many NDSP amp to the curb, much as I like them too. And for mixing, DMG TrackComp 2 a desert island comp for how useful it is. TDR Arbiter, great for de-essing and control of high-end. For saturation, I really like Softube Overstayer M.A.S., Not as well known because it's niche, and they price it quite high, and rarely discount it by much. But when discounted, worth trying, and grabbing with both hands if it's to taste. Newfangled Invigorate is great for dialing in saturation too. Even if it's not my standard EQ, Sonox Claro is actually very good, and pretty affordable.

His name is Jaycen

[@realraven2000]

16:30 certainly it is dieing because they now are used to their crunchy -4LUFs demos. and they WILL destroy your mix to get a Loud Blob.

[@larrytan73]

Jayson Joshua selsl plugins .. This interview turned into one big ad! Jason knows that you still need that human touch on the mixes and the averge fake engineer will never get that pro sound...Its always goning to feel like something is missing.Thats a Human!

[@atasagunEnt]

🥶the truth

[@FrancisFarmerMusic]

Not that Jaycen will ever read this, but dont bother with Soothe 2 to sidechain your vocals... It effects the rest of the all music bus, its not transparent. Trackspacer is clean

[@WillyJunior]

Soothe can be transparent if you know how to use it

[@FrancisFarmerMusic]

@WillyJunior I did not find it worked I'm that context.... There was a sound that I didn't like in that broad stroak context. Trackspacer does a better job from my perspective

[@WillyJunior]

@@FrancisFarmerMusic you can make Soothe behave almost identically to Trackspacer if you widen the bands and turn down the selectivity

[@andreksjour]

You definitely used it wrong. Soothe in sidechain mode, is a more advanced trackspacer.

[@FrancisFarmerMusic]

@andreksjour I'm not new to engineering lol I used it in sidechain mode and narrowed the bandwidth... To me, I still hear a sound over my track in a way that I don't want

[@charleyb9912]

Respect for his work but every year he looks unhealthier and always so serious when he gives interviews. not always just sitting in the studio otherwise it knocks you out like Daves Pensado

[@thelinkofperfectioncharity9469]

i really thought that he was hitting the gym

[@Blipzzy]

Bro what is the purpose of a comment like this…? You have no idea what could be happening in someone’s life

[@DaMixWizard]

I always tell mix engineers to hit the gym after a long session or get a treadmill for your home. You sit at that mixing desk for 4-12 hours a day gaining weight. This guy used to be slim a few years ago. That other mix engineer name MixedbyAli used to be slim, now he's big and fluffy.

[@nilespeshay1734]

He has assistants.. to help him mix tracks from the world's best engineers... to be fair.

[@christophersanchez8585]

he is just trying to sell the god particle 😅😅😅

[@donnydarko7624]

I believe that he actually uses it. I mean it's his own company it's not like other engineers who just sign their name away to waves or something.

[@Awthentik]

Have you used it? The shit is amazing.

[@OCTO8R]

Most overrated (if not telling "overvalued"): - The God Particle 🤣 - FabFilter Pro-Q - all the Soundtoys stuff - Soothe2 - Trackspacer (people are blind to find DSM V3 or free Spectral Compressor) Most underrated: - DSM V3 - Zip by Unfiltered audio - Acon Digital stuff - RMSC - XCTR v3 - LISA eq by TOMO Audio P.S.: I'm not tied by lobbying or loyalty with devs so I can say that 😝

[@xanderpills]

Have to say that Fabfilter Pro-Q with an Apple Mouse is incredible. You do one sweep with a mouse and you're done for the day. It has a smooth scrolling so you can adjust the Q as you go. It's amazing

[@OCTO8R]

@@xanderpills have to admit, I made this list out of proportion between included features, evident result of vst's processing and... PRICE. 🙄 There are alternatives with less price and sometimes more features. Pro-Q is the best of course but not for these money. What about Apulsoft, Toneboosters, UVI Shade. Plus, we shouldn't discount that fact that now DAW devs are implementing deeper modulation into the workflow. As a user of Bitwig I can make any EQ dynamic. 😶‍🌫So... after looking around the industry, the price of 179$ for EQ seems... a bit strange I think 😟

[@xanderpills]

@ That argument would've been valid unless FF hadn't just released their fourth edition of the Pro-Q which features, well, everything you need from spectral features, saturating bands, to, damn, whatever, really. But you are right: they *did* get a bit old, and there definitely are great alternatives. They just topped up the game again.

[@OCTO8R]

@@xanderpills I'm sorry for a sort of recommendation-like comment but you really should check out above mentioned devs, especially Toneboosters. 🙄

[@OCTO8R]

@@xanderpills haha. it's funny to see like my comment disappears)) Ok, I'll repeat)) I don't wanna annoy with advice, just alternative word: You should really check out above mentioned EQs, especially Toneboosters EQ4 👍🏻
