Guys, MJUC ROCKS! I just tried it on one of my vocal tracks and couldn't believe the improvement! Thanks for another great tip!

[@jordanmattievisuals]

Just bought the MJUC plugin. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@maxpatrick11]

I love this format! Please do more of these!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Max! It was great fun!

[@captainslapem]

Just curious about the flip-frame transitions? They usually suggest a scene change. A regular camera change (which looks like a hard cut) would be more natural for an interview.

[@cybergypsies]

Yes, these out of context transitions are extremely distracting, to the point of spoiling an otherwise first class conversation.... as they usually are, thumbs up guys, keep up the good work! ❤

[@Projacked1]

Finally, the first producer I have heard so far , taking placement! of the speakers as the most crucial part of your setup. I can't state enough how much milimeters can drastically change the response of the speaker. You need to find that magic first. I can do it in a few hours now. But that is simply because I love to do it. When the room starts to 'sway' with the stereo image your getting in the zone. So careful movements, and sometimes back and forth to get it right. That's where you learn to listen for those tiny phase issues. Especially in the range of high mids and above. I use the Sheffield Coustic Test CD , as I'm used to it now, to experiment and get better at it.

[@Beatledave7]

Always enjoy these chilled out chats! Thanks for making the time to do this!

[@TheOnlineBusker]

It's not often I'll sit through a 2 hour video, but when Marc is involved... I'd watch it twice!!! This was great!

[@dwaynejessome1728]

great way to ease into the morning on a Friday before beginning the day. Soooo much insight here. Thanks

[@willemmoller6736]

great chat Marc and Warren, thank you! mic breakdowns happen, hey Eric . . . I did live sound for years, learnt to always have backups ready to go

[@thedaveut]

Warren, please tell Marc to come up to Utah and Ill take him skiing with me up to Snowbasin!! Best in Utah! I love Marc's mixing approaches. Its helped me get way more organized in my sessions. Thanks!

[@mikem4984]

Great conversation, gentlemen! Didn't want it to end. I could listen and talk "shop" all day : ) Cheers!

[@producemusicathome]

2 guys talking shop ( that know what they’re talking about! ) I enjoyed this so much. Thanks guys. More!

[@Producelikeapro]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AlexeySolovievMusic]

Really wonderful interview! Marc is super smart and super pro guy it’s always a huge pleasure listening and learning from him!

[@AlexArrowsmith]

I've been loving these Q&As! I love the rapport Warren has with Marc (especially when it comes to The Beatles!).

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Alex! Yes, Marc is a great friend and I love making videos with him!

[@buddhikachathuranga9202]

Thank you .! Lot of Appriciate what you'r doing.! We love it! 🖤🔥

[@Producelikeapro]

Amazing

[@budgetguitarist]

WONDERFUL interview! Thanks!

[@rajkamaljangir3618]

I like these two gentlemen's, they have knowledge like old man, and talking like noughty kids, learn a lot from both of you, thanks

[@folkncountrystudio]

You guys ROCK, Love the info from your videos. Many Thanks.

[@oleksandrpozniak]

The trick I use. Run sound through some HW line AMP, denoise with RX8, and add some Harmonic distortion on top in the digital domain. Noise is gone but harmonics are left

[@felipebonacic]

You guys mentioned super briefly, but it could be another video, how do you guys deal with those moments when you know the mix is right but the client isn’t happy. How do you guys deal with those moments where the changes kind of would change the mix a lot to a place where you wouldn’t be happy, and how do you move on from that? From critiques that aren’t constructive?

[@splashesin8]

Yay I finally got to kick back with this. :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Audrey! You Rock!!

[@musiccreation1198]

Did you choose the Mac Ultras due to video production? ...but for Audio??? Thanks guys...two of my 3 fav people on YT chatting == awesome. Learned a ton. I can't find a used Presonus ADL 600 anywhere. :(

[@TiagoOliveira-ll2iw]

The best LIVE Q&A ever Warren!

[@twitchbook-1]

Please use the benchmark dac for the comparison

[@kadiummusic]

Tokyo Dawn's Nova has been doing everything that Soothe does for years. You constantly hear about Fab Filter, Waves and other popular plugin manufacturers and yet hardly hear about Tokyo Dawn's superb suite of processors. They really are superb!

[@oleksandrpozniak]

As soon as your total delay goes more than the limit in your settings it stops to compensate and moves the print forward. But this is always the case with Master prints since we all have tons of processing on the mix bus. But higher SR decreases latency. 44.1k is 2x latency from 88.2 and 4x from 176.4

[@lisacariddi8213]

Love this, you guys are great together! And would love to see you interviewing Nile too 🙂

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Lisa!

[@TheOnlineBusker]

Aah goddamit after watching this I thought "let's treat myself to a new plugin" ha! Got the Puigchild compressor, and absolutely love it!!! Make mine music today!!

[@TheStudioFreq]

It’s my favorite compressor and it enhances the sound of things even if you just simply run audio through without changing the settings or pushing the compressor hard. I love the mastering glue setting in the presets! Great for final

[@johnny_freeman]

Love a good Country Store pastrami sandwich; morning coffees are nice too. 👍🏻👍🏻 Great convo.

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha yes, indeed

[@Musikfryd]

I sometimes feel like we're people who've just been chatting since the Stone Age, and so slowly just together the sound improves.

[@PatApoo]

Great Q&A. TY.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

[@balladboy6644]

Hi Mark Re: the sample accuracy of the stems vs the master analogue print, my understanding is HDX solves this problem. I might be wrong but I believe when you're running pro tools ultimate natively there's always going to be some sample delay without the HDX card installed. Maybe i'm wrong but have a feeling HDX solves this issue when mixing and printing.

[@Producelikeapro]

The new hybrid system does both, the HDX for tracking and Native for mixing

[@balladboy6644]

@@Producelikeapro Absolutely, it's a brilliant idea, but you need an hdx card, I'm not sure if Daniel was originally on a Native card hence the issue with the latency.

[@marcdanielnelson317]

@@balladboy6644 Good to know and makes sense. Its a weird quickly thing i cant get my head around but should maybe just try with a HDX card and see if it sticks then. Thank you for the heads up.

[@pupkid8613]

@@marcdanielnelson317 last year I moved from HD Native Thunderbolt to a single HDX card in an Avid TB chassis with the new hybrid mode and it's great - also seems to be much more efficient - my sessions run 20-30% more efficiently with HDX hybrid. Worth it for that alone but hopefully it will sort your stem latency issues too....

[@k1ttyF158er]

Darn! I missed it live - I guess this is a different stream than the Feedback Friday one.

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes! Indeed! Thanks for joining us on the live stream

[@sonnybrasco9735]

Great video guys. I definitely like the mjuc for sure. Cool gems in the video

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks so much!

Marc always seems like a guy you want to be friends with.

Hi Marc Hi Warren here is a test uad vs native in german. Sorry gonna lern some Deutsch! But Thom is really good and competent engineer. Maybe you can just email him your request?

[@RTCLR123]

Who did your paint on Genelecs Warren?Looking cute

[@prankas]

Guys, which plugins you talked about, they sounded like "suid" or "suit", "golfus", "spare" or "spair"? couldnt identify them, sorry '))

[@Producelikeapro]

We talked about Soothe 2 by Oeksound (you’ll see a lot of discussion about it in the chat window), also Oeksound Spiff and Gullfoss by Sound Theory

HEDD Audio will probably get back to you, soon. That’s in acceptable that you shouldn’t get the chance to speak about these marvelous items. Absolutely like your point of view not to talk about things you didn’t touch. Honorable.

very cool friendship and brains

[@Producelikeapro]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

[@rizky1200]

Here is some idea, I think a video of tow of you playing music together would be fun, or maybe write a song togheter.

[@musiccreation1198]

Native Spark UADx Plugins vs Unison dsp plugins....Steve Kinney has a good YT video comparison...with great comments / discussion.

Speakers: you habe to trotz out The HEDD series. Especially the 20. amazing like Theorie headphone. Situated in Berlin. Founded Boy a Former Adam founder

[@charlesrocks]

I think the digital world is a lot worse than what people want to admit. I’m glad Marc brought up gain staging because even if you gain stage “properly” it doesn’t have that magic that analogue has.

[@balladboy6644]

Re; the Mac questions, The Mac studio is very powerful but bear in mind, it's not upgradable, everything is soldered to the motherboard except for the SSD. If anything goes wrong with that expensive piece of metal, the whole motherboard (logic board) will need replacing unless Louis Rossman can fix an individual chip on that board for you. The Mac Studio will need to stand the test of time for me. Bear in mind, your Mac Pro 2019 cheese grater is fully upgradable and has more space for air to flow between components which = greater reliability. The Studio is going to need to be cleaned out every few years (like you would any computer) due to dust accumulation, and it's not the most straightforward computer to dis-assemble. In contrast, you can simpy lift the lid off the top of a Mac Pro 2019. I think the clue is in the name "Pro". It's a professional workstation computer. The studio is aimed at the mid level enthusiast market. Not the same as the Pro market. Every year there will be a new "M" branded chip, it's going the way of the iphone. A new model every year. Personally i'm exctied for the new "M" arm based chip Mac Pro, that machine is going to be unreal, lets just hope it's upgradable. I get what you mean about the space the 2019 cheese grater takes up. It's something else to consider with studio spaces getting smaller.

[@Producelikeapro]

It’s a 2009 Cheesegrater and I’ve never had to have it cleaned internally in 13 years, so I’m not obviously concerned about dust issues with the new computer, also being much faster and more powerful not worried about needing to upgrade for many years either. Thanks

[@balladboy6644]

@@Producelikeapro The cheesegrater is large and has a lot more space for air to circulate, so dust wont be such an issue as it will for smaller computers with limoited cooling and air flow potential. The iMac is another such example that can overheat very quickly dependant on use. Absoutley agree with you though, I suspect those mac studios are great, a huge initial outlay of course, but all new stuff seems to cost a lot these days with inflation e.t.c. Will be great to see how you get on with them!
