Mixing Trap Drums with Waves Plugins (Part 2)

[@adamosarczuk6424]

Sean these videos are dope, im following along in my session in logic and using them as I watch this. Is making my mix sound a lot better thank you so much for this free info. Im probably gonna download some of your templates after this. One question tho, why do you like studio rack? why not just insert the plug ins into the channel. Is it an organization thing? would love your opinion on this, thanks man!

[@SeanDivine]

thanks Adam! a couple of reasons why I use Studio Rack: the quick keys seem simple but are very effective for conveniently tweaking presets. Saving and loading presets is great. I work in a few different DAWs depending on the project, so being able to save and load effects chains across any DAW is invaluable as well.

YOU. ARE. THE. MAN. You are the only mixing engineer/producer I follow that creates and clearly shows how to make such a clean yet full mix. Everything you touch is soooo clean my man. Thank you for everything you do and for showing us tips and tricks on how to get that clarity, punch, depth, and creative movement.....all with the right amount of simplicity. Much appreciated!!

[@SeanDivine]

[@keimaari]

Amazing

[@nfmusicdesigner154]

TY

[@panitabeats]

You are a great person showing us this, very very usefull, thank you, but I have a question, do you think it isn't usefull to do a drum mix buss and glue them together with some compression or some kind of processing?

[@SeanDivine]

glad it helped! with these style of drums, going for maximum impact and dynamics, drum bus is usually not the answer :)

[@flameingo1]

Been waiting for this!! Can you do mixing synths or instruments with waves too?

[@SeanDivine]

stay tuned :)

[@flameingo1]

Sean Divine my guy!! Always got my back in the mix!!

[@zzagg6]

@@SeanDivine some real instruments with waves would be great

[@uchoobe1876]

You're amazing

[@SeanDivine]

so are you, thanks!

[@americanowl]

WOW.😍🤩 U R REAL SUPPERSTARS.

[@diogenessbeats7421]

Great

[@BelieverStarcraft]

Sean often times for all my drums I put on the API 560 on the drums with analog on cause I feel like it adds a nice sound to the drums, I use some of the presets and adjust. Is there anything else in waves you’d recommend I give a fiddle with?

[@SeanDivine]

Torque, Smack Attack and the Puigtec EQs are great!

[@3rdStringMusic]

Nice

[@shved082]

Yo Sean! Thanks for the video, one of the most useful video on mixing I've ever watched. Great job! What do you think about drum buss? Do you use it in your mixing routine? Do you have some kind of your special effects chain for summary drum track? Especially, I'm really confused about overall reverb on drums - you use reverb on every channel, so overall reverb would be some kind of extra? Thank you again for amazing example of explaining.

[@SeanDivine]

I use drum busses on occasion for a more "glued" sound or for parallel processing to add some punch. Otherwise, I'm typically processing them individually as you see here, especially with electronic drums. It tends to give you a more impactful sound, in my experience.

[@shved082]

​@@SeanDivine Thanks, man! Appreciate that. Have a nice day :)

[@BelieverStarcraft]

So dope, How do you make those Vocal Chops? I am interested, if you recorded the sound yourself and then Formatted it or if you found it as a sample? I'd love to know how!

[@SeanDivine]

[@glorian4339]

I catched the 25th frame. XD

[@wilhemquijote_stargate]

fireee

[@papichulo2716]

Why do you call it Clap 808? Does your presets have 808 preset?

[@nicolaisvensk3092]

Amazing content! Do you do producing for your living? :)

[@SeanDivine]

thanks! yes, I do

[@MAXXC7]

hello sir, I wanted to ask you how does that make you use a stereo rack studio on mono sounds such as kick or snare? I'm French that's why I ask you I have trouble translating the video on mixing beat trap with plugin waves. thank you in advance for your reply good day to you!

[@SeanDivine]

I like to use stereo effects on the aux for processing (reverb, delay, width, etc) so we can send a mono signal to a stereo aux and have a lot more flexibility for processing

[@stevenjohn9665]

Yo sean where can i hear and buy this beat? Shits fire bro lol

[@SeanDivine]

thanks Steven! It's a loose idea at the moment but my finished beats are on divinetracks.com 🤜

[@sujesdvguitar]

For some reason i can't find the Studio Rack insert after installed on my Mac, i open Logic and it's just not there... I want to use it with local CPU processing like you.

Boa mano! Slv Brasil.

[@SeanDivine]

obrigado :)

[@malikisrael9355]

Where do you get your vox chop samples from?

[@SeanDivine]

these are from Arcade bit.ly/2SIMhgQ

[@StevenSoto]

Have a chance to purchase a Blue Bluebird ( older version ) or a Blue Baby Bottle ( older version ) which would be better? For rap vocals? I have a deep rap voice.

[@SeanDivine]

haven't used the bluebird... baby bottle is a great mic

[@StevenSoto]

Sean Divine thanks man ! It’s cool you answer messages.

[@TjSpenc]

Blue spark is good too! But I have a more melodic tone when I record so it helps give it a smooth aound
