You can create a high pass filter on the waves SSL G comp with the multi-band split feature on the waves studio rack.

[@danielkisel5661]

Have you tried the Native SSL Bus compressor V2? It has highpass filter and they completely changed the way it sounds from previous versions, and added the possibility of oversampling and more attack and release settings like 20ms attack for example

[@mixbustv]

I didn't, I don't really look for ssl style plugins, I have 2 hw

[@G.Webster]

I like it. You actually covered a lot of good information I hope others pick up on, such as the cumlative saturation/passive dynamics changes that occur in the hardware because of how the hardware behaves. That's something that is not really replicatable in a plugin because they just haven't figured it out yet. Driving a hardware compressor hard vs a plugin just doesn't work the same way... but at least it does give some insight into your thought process and, essentially, work-arounds when using just plugins.

[@calving3867]

It depends on the compressor plugin really and what aspects of the signal were measured and reproduced in the model. If you look at arturia and kush audio both of them model the clipping characteristics of the analog models compressors they recreate.

[@ractorstudios]

I recommend x-eq2. It has a very analogue sound to it. Have you ever tried the slate tape? Also saturn 2 is great for trying to add that missing saturation for transformers and tubes to match that gear.

[@mixbustv]

Yeah I did, never liked the slate and same for Saturn, I like it but not on 2bus

[@mixbustv]

Not sure I get your question but if you bus two or more tracks to an aux of course the level is gonna be higher than the one of a single track. There's no set level for a vocal bus or any other bus other than the one dictated by your gain staging, and gain staging depends on track count, if you use hw or not, style etc..

I have no idea about others but aliasing is a pretty overrated "issue". As for the API, usually 2db on the 2bus is considered pretty heavy, that's why my 5500 has half db steps, but you can compensate for that (the 2db steps)

[@TheReal_E.IRIZARRY]

@@mixbustv the problem of you saying that there's no such plugin for transparent for a specific sound...which I believe you are looking for transparency on the transients and you can cut down the release time on transients to the point that it adds clarity and emphasizes the 2rd and 3rd order harmonics giving it that analog tonal shaped sound. Also look into Leapwing Audio's DynOne v3 that has a Master analog sound filter in the lower right hand corner but turn down all five frequency ranges to zero/to the bottom and only do a slight boost to the high end frequency range on DynOne v3 (not v2 or v1 which doesn't have that analog sounding filter on that plugin's earlier versions).

I have been working ITB all this time and now I'm getting into the 500 series but I have had such a hard time deciding which modules I need so that I can mix/master and that will actually compete with market level production quality (Mastering EQs, Compressors etc..) There are so many items out there that its honestly pretty hard to decide. Most of these mixed reviews are not trustworthy, but I have actually heard your sound so I trust your ear. What chain would you suggest to get me to a professional pure analog mix/master? Oh yea, as far as my budget I would say I'm ok with $1500.00 range max per module to start.

[@mixbustv]

Keep in mind it will take you a while to build a chain that will make your products "compete" so to speak, hardware is expensive and your chain will be only as strong as your weakest link. With that said, I'd probably start with the Dione Wes Audio in that price range imp.i114863.net/kdxNN You then probably want a stereo eq, in which case you can go with either a pair of API 550B imp.i114863.net/9WEa5e altho' you will find 2db steps a bit too much often, or heritage imp.i114863.net/1nkoz or Wes audio Pultec: imp.i114863.net/jdqB5 I'm a fan of the Neve 452's everybody knows that, but, they're not easy units to use and the rest of your chain would need to be on par and basically built around them somehow: imp.i114863.net/MerEK As for mastering, that's a whole different ballgame and price range, you ain't gonna get into analog mastering with 1.5K a piece.

@MixbusTv Curious to know which bits of hardware you’ve mentioned using on your 2bus chain here you also use regularly in your mastering chain? Given the two are different disciplines but also still incorporate similar elements (obvious differences for example being more use of limiters/clippers at mastering stage)? I’m sure I’ve seen a vid of you mastering where you’re also using the Fusion, PQ, Weiss, Space machine thing etc etc. Wondering if you’ve both mixed and mastered the same song whether you end up doubling up on any of the analogue gear between 2bus and mastering stage? Lots of questions sorry!

[@mixbustv]

Keep in mind that my split between mixing/mastering and mastering only splits 50%. Probably slightly more mastering jobs these days so in those cases, my mastering chain sees 542's, Fusion, SPL PQ, Symph EQ, Wes Mastering comp, with the option of inserting API 5500, FATSO, before compression and MAAG after compression before Spacecraft. Obviously not all of that is on all the time, sometimes is just 3 units, sometimes all. If I mixed the song very very rarely I use more "color" or analog on the master, if do so is usually the SPL maybe the HF comp on the SSL and maybe MAAG or Symph or API (one, not all of them) for a slight top and bottom adjustment, we're talking half db. In the end mastering is years of experience half db at the time. But many times I don't use analog but I do use my converters for clipping so I'm still not ITB

[@tomhigham88]

@@mixbustv thanks for the response David, makes total sense to me! Seems like your approach when mixing is to stack as much of that colour as needed at 2bus stage rather than leave it to mastering. I tend to like this because it’s a creative decision that can be made with feedback from the client in mind also. Then mastering that follows takes a “cleaner” approach. I guess in mastering it comes down to knowing how much colour was used on the 2bus already. Whether that’s by ear and experience or literally knowing because you asked/are the mix engineer. Either way, half dB steps here and there. Cool :)

Very good devices and difficult to emulate too. As you said in the video, you get closer to it, but there is still a big difference between the plugin sound and the hardware. Exactly the same with my SSL G Bus Comp Mk2 in API 500 format (with sidechain + 3 more ratios options compared to the Mk1 version), so far I have not found any plugin that works so clean and big. Even the SSL native plugins sound really bad in comparison.

@@1972OGTony Hi, I have no problems at all with my two 542 Porticos. Maybe it was because of your cable connection? Same cables, same gain in the interface, maybe something wrong on your API500 lunchbox? The Silk Blue also does a roll-off in the high frequency range, on the other hand the Silk Red makes a nice emphasis in the high range. Of course, the frequency profile changes whether you work in IPS 15 or 30 mode. What I like to use is IPS15 in combination with Silk Red, it gives a great bump and glue around 60Hz and raises the highs nicely. Since I have two, I can also use the Porticos in mid/side mode, which is also very useful. 🙂

I don't know about others but I'm booked solid months ahead and my client list only got bigger. And in a utopian possible future in which music is written by AI and mastered by AI, I still don't see mixing happening. That is a stage that, if ever, will be the last to "go". Way too complicated, way too many parts moving and most important, the one thing where you need a human being's taste and experience (mastering too but mixing is 100x) I think if there are engineers who saw regression are the ones who didn't stay up to date, didn't keep moving forward, incorporate new tools, techs etc.. Mix and mastering is still my "day job" and I don't see it going anywhere, with that said, I do produce my artist which is doing great, and it's not out of the question that after her we will scout more.
