Thank you. I needed to hear that actually.

[@shane_taylor]

I have all of these, except F6 (and I have Kirchhoff EQ for that), but I've had StudioRack for over a year and never used it, or really realized how powerful it can be. Now I know. Thanks for that!

[@TeslaOsiris]

Torque is such a good plugin...I got it for free when I got a couple of their Abbey Road plugins, and it adds a lot of definition to percussive elements.

[@richieb12]

I'm working on a mix at the moment where I have dipped 2k on the guitars to make room for vocals. I'm going to swap out the EQ with a dynamic EQ side-chained to the vocals now. Thanks for the tip!

[@EdThorne]

It’s a great technique 🙂

I'm a new follower/subscriber and I just bought the Waves Dynamic EQ you recommended, but were you gonna make an extra video on HOW TO USE THAT? Please do! It's been 3 months since you teased us with your excellent promise, LOL. (Or maybe I'm not seeing it...tell me where?)

[@EdThorne]

Hi Gordon, thanks for the kick up the butt, you’re right, I do still need to do this video. I’ll see what I can do 🙂

[@AndrewCCM]

Agreed. I bought it too a couple of days ago…

[@sussypiratts2816]

You recommended the SSl E Channel. There is the new EV 2 Version. How would you compare this to the Mixhub and the Scheos omni Channel? Which one should I get?

[@EdThorne]

Demo them all out and see which works. The EV2 is obviously the newest so should sound the best.

[@marshallcity4047]

Good job!!!

[@EdThorne]

Thanks for watching 🙂

[@okybbymusic]

I want to know how to mix music like your background music!! Desperately!

[@EdThorne]

Hi. I use Epidemic Sounds for my background music. They have a huge catalog of great music. To produce music like that, it’s the same process as producing any music - Good sounding recordings/sample instruments, good mixing and mastering. Library music needs to be a more consistent level throughout than a song traditional would be with dynamic movement.

[@okybbymusic]

@@EdThorne he must have a sample genie or something

[@humocato]

great thanks for the video!!!

[@EdThorne]

You’re welcome

[@WasionKey]

wow i didnt know studio rack was capable of that, I have it but never use it.

[@EdThorne]

It’s probably the most versatile and flexible plugin out there! The more Waves plugins you have to insert the better obviously.

[@GRAVE5]

Work with waves v10?

[@EdThorne]

Does what work with Waves ten? All waves plugins can be updated to the current v12.

[@J_Suave317]

How do you feel about the ssl g master bus??

[@EdThorne]

This is good too and would probably make a Top 10 list. You can hear it against the Townhouse, UAD SSL and an analog compressor here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6mbaJ2QYqaqldU

get it... i have it on my bus always... legendary

[@frankgerrits]

I like your videos and I also like (some of) the Waves plugins. But dude, seriously... Have you sold your soul to the devil? How can you recommend people to get on a Waves subscription plan? That must be the worst investment EVER! The only way that would make sense is if you subscribe to either Gold or Platinum for just one month to see which plugins in the bundle you actually like and use. Then stop the subscription and buy these plugins separately when they are on sale (which is... well, throughout the year basically). If you like a bunch of them, buy the bundle when it's on sale. You might have to be a little more patient here, but I have seen Gold go for less than $100... By the way, can you explain what is going on at 1:58 in this video? There's a lot of bussing going on there. I mean, a lot... What is all that for?

[@EdThorne]

Hi Frank, the Waves Subscription plan isn’t for everyone but I wanted to make people aware of it. Regarding the busses, there is a lot on that song which is was a complicated mix, loads of instrumentation going on and different groupings/fx sends/returns. It was a pain in the arse to mix 🤣 Here’s how it came out: open.spotify.com/album/6AlgJ2F9m2uk0CsOmWZZJy?si=A9GdC56iS3O_wc4uOCvsng
