[@matthewward5813]

I will say it and say it and say it again, musicians new to the mixing game think delay and reverbs is what make a mix... and the truth is eq and compression is the tools that can make your mixes go from demo to commercial the fastest once you learn how to use them of course. Nice review Graham the track is sounding good.

[@pandemic7]

This guy.

[@frasermoffatt1817]

Excellent walk through Graham.Thanks. I bought this plug in back in January for $49. I've used it on everything I've done since. Killer on the master buss. Great range of presets baked in which makes this whole package worth way more than I paid for it.

[@Str8SlapRec]

I love waves scheps omni-channel and I love the way you mixture track with it as well. You actually showed me how to use it. Thanks bro

[@bonzzo777]

This plugin is the foundation in all my productions. Its just fantastic

[@GotBettaBeats]

I wanna thank you for what you do for the audio community. Great music and great teachings.

[@bradynovak1434]

Dude this song is one of your best!! High quality production for sure

[@dafingaz]

Everyone get this plugin now!!!! So dope and even a better deal at $29!

[@scherdgze]

A lot of people are talking about a deal at $29. I've been looking on their site daily and always saw $99!?!?

[@dafingaz]

Serge Belanger the deal was live about a month ago (when this video was posted). But stay tuned to their website and sign up for the email alerts. It goes on sale frequently throughout the year. It’s also not bad for $99 but $29 is much better. Lol.

[@Str8SlapRec]

Its 100$ now. Because waves now how good this channel is

[@massivebeatzz]

it's not 30, it's 38 on sale, and deosnt' qualify as the free plugin if you buy over $50, so no matter what, you have to pay for 2 plugins. Smart strategy.

[@dafingaz]

massivebeatzz yeah. You may find some deals sooner or later. You can get RVox for free right now though.

[@gregwixted]

I bought this thing about a month ago for $99 and I can honestly say it's worth a lot more. IMO this is a premium tool. Really love this thing and it's on sale today for $29. If you download a demo I think it won't take long for you to decide whether or not you would use this. Nice demo Graham.

[@recordingrevolution]

Love it.

[@ritzenhauf]

I've read it can use 5+% of CPU :/

[@ulrichgamingandmusic]

I luv this Plug.... 4 fun facts about it. 1)... If u load it in and dont turn a knob, u have 0 cp load, only the modules u touch. 2)... on the top right of each module is a little rectangle, click it, u get an expanded view of this module, with even more control, f.e for compressing mid side differently. 3) click Ctrl + a frequency knob ( f.e in the EQ section) solos this band... awesome 4) u can use the deesser as an external sidechain, f.e to duck only the kick frequency out of the bass, sounds different then just sidechaining the bass. Thanks Andrew and Waves for creating this lovely piece of art

[@ulrichgamingandmusic]

@@Fonkemman of course I do ;) it 's just great, like a swiss army-knife

[@KenFoxmusic]

I love this plugin. used it on a bunch of records so far

[@josephn3496]

Man, I need to use this more! Love how it keeps your workflow simpler

[@brainmurde]

Thanks for video, Graham! I really enjoy Omini EQ section with Mid\Side, this thing is awesome. Use it on master channel in every track. Sometimes I use it's preamp or compressor (FET or OPT), but there is nothing extraordinary with them. For 29$ I've paid, it's great!

[@nickwolfe957]

Had no idea you could add other waves plugs within the channel strip! Great feature!

[@guzzigu]

Brooo i think your voice fits better in this kind of music really awesome man! Keep it up

[@whisperthiefmusic]

The De Esser on the Omni channel is the only one I've managed to get decent results with!! I'd buy it just for that and the high pass/thump section!!

[@BigFatCock0]

Waves' 'Sibilance' is really great.

[@christophermarloweproducti4670]

BigFatCock Yes I also love the Waves Sibilance plugin! And have high hopes for the Omni de-easer as well. My favorite so far is the free Airwindows DeEsser, that one is just like magic 😮

[@jefftravilla]

I love the de-esser. I’d only ever used a de-esser on vocals, specifically for the intention of removing some of the s’s. But Mr. Sheep’s plugin really opened my ears to the de-esser’s function as a single band or shelf compressor. I use it to tame cymbal wash harshness, temper the low mid buildup on acoustic guitar, especially palm muted parts. This plugin changed my life and finally got my mixing with my ears instead of my eyes.

[@Str8SlapRec]

Come on now the compressor is cool the EQ was cool and also saturation

[@gnprice]

First, this is an awesome song! Been slapping Omni across the drum buss lately with the "beef my drums" preset as a start.

[@KaitavSapreMusic]

The song sounds great! Thanks for this helpful tutorial.

[@klementus]

Oh yes, I found this song, it's called: Thief (feat. Graham Cochrane) The song is awesome!

[@producerfuji_official]

Hello Gram love the video question with the Scheps plugin would you recommend putting the plugin first across your audio in protools? And if using auto- tune would you put that before or after on each vox channel besides the instruments tracks

[@ryanreach3710]

What input level should the vocal be at? I'm hearing -18dB or 0VU is the "sweet spot" for plugins, but I can't find that in any Waves manuals.

[@BobSchusterMusiccom]

Nice review and demo. Like the song 2. How does compare features, sound etc. with the CLA Mixhub?

[@GatoPaint]

question: deeser before or after the EQ ?

[@jefftravilla]

GatoPaint depends on the EQ moves you want to make. Let’s say you want to brighten everything up and do a high shelf around like 3K, but that exposes some harshness in the 4K range that you need to tame. In that case, de-esser after EQ makes sense. If you hear a problem that you’re trying to solve before touching any EQ, I’d put the de-esser before EQ. For its literal use of taming sibilance, I’d put it before the EQ as a general first step. If the EQ moves expose more sibilance, you can either move it to after the EQ or turn down the de-esser’s threshold to remove more of those frequencies before they get boosted by your EQ moves.

[@codyjumper5019]

I can totally hear the inspiration you get from Chris Cornell in this song haha. Well done!

[@recordingrevolution]

Yaasssss!

[@improvewitherror]

Thanks for the video, I really like the track.

[@recordingrevolution]

Thanks!

[@BigChiefPrinceVision]

Enjoy your videos gram. What kind of mac you use, im looking to buy my first mac, what specs would you recommend for production and comfortable mixing

[@perrypelican9476]

I would like to know the main advantages of a channel strip over separate plugins besides the convenience of one plugin. If you do a Mix with many tracks, isn’t it likely that a variety of compressors would be called for. Or are the individual tools in the Omni just so good and especially, flexible. But I can’t imagine that. All plugins have their own subtle Color. Please explain.

[@SirThomasJames]

I understand what you mean, basically how I use it is use the Omni Channel is to use it on buses. I will shape the bus how i want it (especially with the midside and sides functions), and then afterwards go to individual channels and maybe use some specific plug ins.

[@BrofUJu]

I really like it for individual drums, kick, snare etc. How one eq change happens effects how the compressor works etc. I like to work effeciently, so having everything there and a great sound is fantastic.

[@djdrewpyroproduction]

Great work Graham. Sounds awesome and huge! Will you be replacing your ssl channel strip now?

[@recordingrevolution]

Hard to say - this thing is really cool!

[@bogatibokorakos]

Wow, you have a fantastic voice!

[@recordingrevolution]

Thanks!

[@BeatsBangcomtv]

I like the vibe on this song! Dare I say a "Nine Inch Nails-ish" feel to it? Nice work!

[@Simonewhitesim-1music]

That's a Bumping track. The plugin adds air and life. Nice Job overall. thanks

[@Simonewhitesim-1music]

Gonna grab Rock a few albums with it. Cheers

[@mysteryblackstudio6185]

"Awesome sounding mix" Are those 2 Master Mix being part of Top Down Mixing, or just being part of routing, Great Plug in, I feel in love with it the first time put it on a drum plug in?

[@recordingrevolution]

Yes!

[@alien.villager]

Super nice track. It sounds really cool. I'm only wondering if there is something that could be done in mixing to have it sounding less different when the output is switched from stereo to mono (I'm running Reference 4 system-wide). It sounds really nice, wide and powerful in stereo, but in mono the sound changes dramatically. Would love it if you could share your input on this, Graham. Thank you in advance. Also thanks for all the good stuff you share with us, Graham! 💜

[@Byronic19134]

Use mid side mode and just make sure ur mids sound just like ur sides. Usually the sides is what u lose in mono. But to be honest nobody is listening in mono

[@alien.villager]

@@Byronic19134 You're right. Nobody is listening in mono on their earbuds or at home. Things are different for clubs and concerts, though. Cheers! :)

[@PapiCee]

Bro this song is bumping!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JBauerProject]

How does it work against your Processing power (CPU). When you put this on 16 channels, 32 chnls, etc. Does it kill your CPU like most Waves plugins (CLA Mixhub as example).

[@Partybob1]

$29 that is ridiculous! It’s great.

[@DavidRosario69]

The compressor alone is worth the price of the entire plugin.

[@toddlertrain3359]

I'm really wondering how the sound of the omni compares with the SSL channel. Thoughts?

[@Byronic19134]

@@xaosnox Ur saying its only worth $20? How many EQs with mid side and a pre amp can u even buy for $20? How many Fet, Opto and VCA comps with mid side can u buy for $20? Arturia is selling they're 3 comp bundle for $99. And i really need a channel strip with mid side, and preferably a preamp and limiter too, so please link me to one for $20.

[@sammytheman8994]

I noticed your vocals In this are sitting better now in these videos, any update on mixing routines? :D

[@eranddroory9987]

Seems like a lot of channels are pushing this channel strip at the exact same time. How much does waves pay you guys for this? This is the 4th channel I've seen TODAY pushing the omni channel..

[@markosimovic7812]

Waves currently have a promo where the winner gets a 1 on 1 session with Mr Scheps himself. Shame they don't mention that.

[@mistersadaimusic]

I got this plugin with Mercury during a ridiculous sale before the V10 update (don't recommend, WUP is confusing, and you will never ever use all of the plugins) and never even used it because I'm a nerd for the SSL channel strip. I guess I have to try it out now. It's become a habit when I see these videos to ask myself if this is new or if I have it and just never saw it because of the ridiculous option paralysis, then to open my DAW and look for it. I always look forward to these reviews.

[@geestarworld5181]

Is this plugin for the master channel

[@cjw4381]

What computer do you recommend for your daw and mixing?

[@AhmetWinchester]

If you're a starter it doesn't really matter and you should only upgrade if you encountef performance problems like I had. I upgraded my system and would recommend a strong cpu, ram + ssd for your OS and another large HDD for your rendered projects or stems. I'm using a i7, 16gb ram with 250gb ssd and another 1k hdd and I don't have any performance issues at all, not even with plugins which are super cpu intense but those specs really depend on the kind of work you want to do.

[@AhmetWinchester]

PS: DAWs are pretty much System independent, the overall specs matter

[@JensHilzensauer]

only logic is mac only, all the other daws work on mac or pc. the better your computer, the better it is...but a windows tower with a Core i3-8100, 250 GB SSD und 8 GB RAM + another hdd hard drive for storing your stuff can already do a lot of positive damage. If you have more money go for Intel Core i5-9600K 6x 3,7 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD + 2nd hard drive. If you can afford even a better system I'd recommend a Intel Core i7-9900X 10x 3,5 GHz CPU, 8 GB RAM, 250 GB M.2 SSD. If you can afford bigger hard drives or more ram, go for it. ;-) But for Mixing and home producing I would recommend those 3 setups.
