Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park on production techniques using Waves plugins, and on The Catalyst vocal effect with Waves Metaflanger.

[@khethelozungu984]

It's crazy thinking about how timeless their music is.

[@vinniemack5222]

Can we get a Mike Shinoda Masterclass?

[@davidvidales2209]

The most similar thing are the twitch streams

[@goklooz26]

You know what album was when you see Mike's hairstyle

[@adrianaochoa1697]

Hahahahaha true 😂

[@ejicon]

Amazing how Mike consistently shares the bands secrets with everyone. Pretty nifty stuff.

[@Tess1061]

It's so fascinating. And I just love it. It just shows that Mike truly loves to create and to inspire others. God dammit. We don't deserve Mike Shinoda. ;^; I COULD LITERALLY sit in the studio for endless hours and just watch him work. It is truly so fascinating.

[@Duckquek17]

@@Tess1061 Well now, (2020), although you can't sit with him in the studio, you can watch him make beats for endless hours. I guess your wish came true anyways hahahaha. thou he's no longer using Waves and is using Maschine.

[@Tess1061]

@@Duckquek17 Yeah - his twitch streaming has been a dream come true. I've been soaking it all up! It really reminds me of the days I would spend in my step dad's studio as a kid. Mike reminds me of him a lot. It's great fun to see him create music live. Brings back some fun and old memories of my childhood. And that aside, it's just cool as hell to see how Mike operates and what decisions he makes on the spot.

[@tsfbaf303]

And yet nobody can replicate it

[@HolyBread]

Mike is a literal Genius, anything Mike has ever worked on has always been a hit or has sounded amazing

[@rdvgrd6]

mike is such a cool guy

[@die-cry-hate]

Even though I'm not a Linkin Park fan, it was cool to see how an established band does their recording. Much respect to these guys :) Thanks for the upload

[@Maxcutch]

RIP Chester

[@TheHouseOffice]

he is a genius

[@RandyHanley]

I like how they know their stuff. It's impressive that they're not some sellouts, picked up off the streets and told how to record their stuff.

[@guillermor9207]

Most people will find this boring or uninteresting, but I can watch these kind of videos for hours. It’s so fascinating having a musical genius breaking down how he makes music and what goes on in the studio from his perspective. Favorite band of all time

[@LahceneBelbachir]

These are gems, I'm sitting here with MetaFlanger and MondoMod open and copying the settings, lol. The presets do sound great.

[@dvrds]

Jesus christ, isn't it crazy how this is 10 years old, and only about 5/6 years ago people began catching up with this stuff? Like insane how he says that the quality you can have in the studio is the same you can have at your home, it actually became truth, but at the time, 2010s, I clearly remember that it was very fucking expensive to buy music production equipment, as of now everybody can buy a home studio for less than 300 dollars or something, and everybody knows how to make music, its fucking incredible. Thank god for that, and for the amazing industry and people that work in it. Music production gives a lot of meaning to my life.

[@jervten]

I'm going to college for music, I'm still in high school and I understand most of what he's saying. YAY!

[@sajibdas6764]

Mike is great for all time. Love you Mike ❤️

[@kellymiko8724]

I love watching these kinds of explanatory videos whether it's about the music specifically or the band, etc. I love watching the "how to's" and "behind the scenes" just as much as the finished product - maybe even more :) This goes for movies too, although I'm not a big fan of movies. But I'll watch the behind the scenes all day! I know very little and do very little with computers, I just find it amazing on the endless capabilities - esp in the art world - that computer provide us with.

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

Yeah buddy!! That’s the man right there!!

[@kathyguerndt832]

Mike is just brilliant .. Love all his tech videos Love and support him forever

[@NumanGhani]

A true talent

[@wellido4134]

Doing these stuff those days was a hell difficult thing , that not easy man !!❤️

[@fadedoutt]

MAAAAAAAN I can't wait 'til I start producing full time!

[@Tomatofury]

those waves cla bundles are brilliant waves you guys are amazing

[@LeeAmano]

Years later, still helping us out!

[@yourboi44]

Here as a student to the game. Crazy to think I’m at where they were 11 years ago in my journey now. Ironically purchased metaflanger two weeks ago. Guess I know some sounds

[@waves]

@zulflbeatz Yes. You can also check the Waves website for technical specs of each product, found under the Support tab.

[@C0lonel5]

I think the raw vocals are sick

[@armandojuarez2880]

Mike, you are the best!

[@djdarkpsycho]

Nice work Mike :)

Wow. Great stuff here.

Miss you LP 💚

@zulflbeatz Try calling tech support at 1-865-909-9200 ext. 1 or through your Waves account and they will help sort you out with any issues you're having.

[@lerkid]

NICE!

[@OMALIE360]

i have a bundle but i have no idea what to use with what... i think there should be a place where ppl like me thats just starting out should knw what plugin should be used with what instrument or vocal etc.... if there is anyone know?

[@ramabima]

@kedejackfrom He intelligently uses Auto-Tune. unlike many people who uses autotune as trend effect.

[@lucasrodriguescavaleiro8422]

I'd like to know what was used to his voice in Somewhere I belong METEORA.

[@adrianaochoa1697]

What a nerd! Love it!!!

[@BadmashFactory]

Why is all the waveform of the audio blown out?

[@CookieThug]

me and mike had long hair during the same time :3

I literally came here because I saw Mike’s arms in the thumbnail and was like wtf is he wearing Chester’s shirt or something because hONESTLY THAT’S REALLY TIGHT MIKE.

Daniel, sorry what program of edition mike use for your productions?

[@zulflbeatz]

this software can run in window 7 or not??

[@Susus26rus]

Waves plug-ins yes. In most of hosts.

[@boyka1408]

They use it live

[@jrablao]

@39smoothgreenday Nothing in this video even showed that they use autotune. The video only showed that the application they use assimilates autotune as one of their effects people can use; autotune was never selected in 2:18 like MetaFlanger is...

[@TheRevProdigy777]

he uses Auto Tune as insurance-- just in case some one gets off-pitch by like a half-step or something-- both Chester and Mike dont use it live-- its just to make sure every little nuance in the vocals are in-key

[@reflectionist]

What's the name of the Splitter plug-in he's using?

It's very nice bundle, altough it's kinda expensive. But you pay for real stuff, not for amateur toys :)) 100% recommended

[@brosephjames]

nice phone

[@LukeGibsonSS]

I really don't like Waves plugins, they always felt really clunky to me and excessively processor intensive. I used to use them, but these days I've found much better alternatives. Some of which are the native plugins inside my DAW Cubase

[@davidhopscotch]

Great video. However, you don’t “produce” with plugins. You “engineer” with them

[@JamstaHULP4L]

Autotune exposed haha

[@kame5271]

+Jason Mercieca Lol on both their channels! well at least he wasn't trying to hide it.

[@kingprone7846]

+Jason Mercieca its not exposed. Everyone whos ever done any kind of production or recording or mixing work knows that it's basically the first plugin on every vocal - at least during initial work on the track and might then be later replaced by something a bit "better" sounding i.e melodyne.... In fact if I remember correctly in the little booklet for Hybrid Theory it actually says "Linkin Park uses (...) Antares Autotune (...)"

[@robindreier9796]

I don't think they use it in a bad way tho, for example on this song Mike showed (The Catalyst) the vocals should sound affected. its not that neither of them can't sing, they just wanted that sound for vibes (or whatever you want to call it)

[@elgamerico]

"99.9% of commercially released music uses AutoTune" LOL Nope.

[@BetaGStudios]

@El Gamerico, sorry but you have no idea how the music industry works.

[@UriBlack]

Something that can make it sound like A thousand Suns . no thanks 😒
