Mix Challenge with Andrew Scheps

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for posting this! Andrew is extremely humble and very talented! The perfect combination!!

[@waves]

[@Producelikeapro]

Waves Audio you Rock!!

[@Rikodesinko]

I've been using this plugin for awhile and love it! I can't believe all the features I was missing out on!!!!

[@chayanchakraborty63]

Hi Warren, did you just got rid of all the 3-4 monitors that you had? Even the LP6s?

[@Producelikeapro]

@@chayanchakraborty63 marvellous! I'm rotating them!

[@paulmeredith_]

I thought the Scheps channel plug in was great before but I didn't realise how much more was hidden behind expanding panels and shortcut keys. This video has completely opened my eyes to new ways of working with this tool. Thank you!

[@fxcoder7983]

The omni channel is by far the best channel plugin i've used. the preamp is something you will use 99% of the time, the eq section is so fine-tuned that sometimes you will not even need to change frequencies, just boost or cut at the predetermined ones, it never sounds harsh, it is so lush, and a selection of an 1176, la2a and an ssl bus comp, plus a limiter, sidechanid filters for everything, a couple of deessers. I mean you can seriously cut down on costs, just by byuing this plugin. It is so well made!

[@thecapsicumkid4740]

It's not very often I get to see my two favourite producers using my new favourite plugin. Thanks for taking the time to shoot this video guys!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi The Capsicum Kid thanks ever so much my friend!

[@lumpyfishgravy]

No .... that would .... take time. Thanks Andrew and Waves for a great time-saver! Not just great sounding, but fun to explore.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Mike Page Thanks ever so much my friend!!

[@shane_taylor]

I've found myself gravitating toward the Omni Channel more and more for everything. Awesome tool. One of my favorites.

[@AlbertWeijers]

Truly the Swiss Army Knife for mixing.

[@TeleCustom72]

Casually transforms the drums in under ten minutes and makes the track a million times better 👍🏻🤘🏻

[@RenatoCachina]

Awesome video... this is one of those videos that you will watch a few times over again and save to your playlist for reference. Nice one Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Renato Cachina Thanks ever so much my friend!

[@jonautry]

Being around Huart seems like a bit of an all-around soul-crusher for Scheps. The unspoken pain on his face when Huart says, “...on the You of Tube...” 😂😂😂

[@echoesandnoise]

🤣 lol

[@jjstudiosjj2408]

Warren and Andrew together on Waves! I’m diggin it Andrew makes is look way too simple thanks Andrew! Thanks Warren! Love this plug-in, thanks Waves!

"Oooh Bus 42 is .... in use" god of mix is still a funny human

[@nashwpg]

the pedal noise in that kick was killing me!!

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

Adds character.

[@gillihansmobilewelding]

Best part.

[@AnAmericanGuitarist]

This has been by far one of my most used plugins since I bought it and I don't remember how long ago that was, but it's a plugin that I think is one of the first ones that anyone setting up a new studio (home or otherwise) should buy. I have recorded as a guitarist in pro studios over the decades and always watched the engineers and asked questions, but I don't have pro level audio engineering knowledge and experience that these guys have. However, having this plugin definitely helps me get far better results in my small home studio! Every once in a while you find a piece of gear or software that knocks your results ahead quickly and noticeably. This is one of those plugins.

[@JoshFryer]

This is the best plug Waves has made in a while. Love it!

[@mickeymiguel2726]

One of the best video ever

[@accoe2k]

Anybody here from the sale? This is awesome! I love these tutorials. Almost wish every company did this.

[@adamwasthefirstman]

That was just nuts! What a great channel strip!

[@vanderlamp]

one of my go-to plugins.. :) thanx for showing a little bit of the workflow of it´s creator.. really enjoyed this one..

[@Tiosanx]

Cool song !! Great plugin! Thank you Andrew!

[@rakibmahmudovee5544]

When the video starts with "Hello everybody, hope you are doing marvelously well", you know its Warren and you know its going to be good and informative !!

[@freethinksman4393]

I just learned about the expanded controls too. I love this plugin.

[@Vegan_Waterr]

Thank you so much for uploading and doing this.

[@PuRe_AdDicT]

It was great first time round, but definitely worth another look :)

[@sweetfoampunishment3286]

@@Ascoundrel What? Sorry??

[@Lysdexia]

An educational, sonic delight - thank you indeed Messrs Huart and Scheps for sharing your expertise and wisdom. The Omnichannel is my favourite plugin bar none - it would be my pick for in-the-box mixing if I was only allowed one.

[@Producelikeapro]

Lysdexia Thanks ever so much my friend!!

Andrew really polished that track quicker than a formula one race car❤

[@darrenross9168]

@@Producelikeapro Hey Warren, should the time come and I am more than sure it will, what plugins would you bring to the table? i bet they will be awesome. all the best, Darren.

[@Thespaceforurmom]

The Scheps Omni Channel is probably one of the most intuitive pieces of software ever made. I'm talking all software, not just audio stuff. They should make computer science majors study it so they know what good GUI design looks like.

[@jeremythornton433]

Thank you very much for this! I think I'm going to have to bookmark this one so I can come back to it for reference purposes. Excellent!

[@alexanderpiano1506]

I’m going to try side-chained multi band on the bass next time I mix, rather than compressing all the frequencies. Thanks Andrew!

[@huckwalton2307]

I make a living as a recording engineer and producer, and I’m wildly impressed by how much I get from your channel. Just wanted to add to the noise of ppraise for your channel.

[@gillihansmobilewelding]

Cool, where can I find some of your work to listen to?

[@lincolnmmitchell]

Andrew is simply the coolest. Thanks fellas!

[@RansomnoteWill]

Well done guys 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I am sold... full video @producelikeapro is great too 🤙🏽

[@mrcoatsworth429]

Just recently learnt that Andrew mixed 'Look Away', my favorite song from Rival Sons' latest album. Absolutely amazing work! The whole album is phenomenal and pure rock bliss.

[@robertsimpson5801]

Andrew would probably cry if he heard one of my mixes. ;D

[@finnie]

probably true for the rest if us here haha

[@TexasJackdaw]

I recently purchased the Omni Channel. It is without a doubt, one of the best plugins I have ever used.

[@Producelikeapro]

Tim Roberts yes! Great plug in!

[@nicebluejay]

yup i didnt know that u could solo an eq channel by control-clicking the knob....great feature!!

[@tommyaudio]

so awesome, thanx! was just using this plug tonight! can't resist that saturation on the drums ✌🤓

Bro...I been eyeing this plugin, that expand feature just sold one!

[@Producelikeapro]

Kurtis High yes! Great feature!!

[@totigerus]

how is it so far?

[@pilkjaer]

Great video. No idea what they are doing but it's sure enjoyable to watch. Original sounded pretty good for me but that's what you pay audio engineer for - to turn good song into great one. One really need to have a good pair of speakers and ears to be able to appreciate and catch all the nuances and differences. Software is really overwhelming.

[@lionstudiodundee]

Andrew you are a legend.

[@trollstjerne]

Got a strange deja vu feeling watching this.. Oh, yes i've seen this before over at Warren's channel. Anyway, Great video!

[@Producelikeapro]

Marvelous

[@Producelikeapro]

Evan Ward Thanks!! Andrew Rocks!!

[@TruthSurge]

oh for fs... it's an advertisement.... saved myself 15 min at least

[@Avatar7x7]

Great video - I wish Scheps would say exactly why he did everything that he did because mixing is so subjective... I hated the snare sound until he made adjustments to tone it downed warm it up ...

[@NostraBloom]

Great work, was the artist mentioned? Maybe I didn't catch it, I'd love to listen to this song with vocals and all.

[@SergioCavalieri]

Andrew saved the drums in no time

[@sofoklessantorini1888]

Love to see him approach the vocals now.. Awesome tho

[@freez092also]

Totally dig the song!

[@ChinoMagliba]

OMG that drum room technique!

[@alienair1748]

8:00 onward by 30 sec, that pedal squonk is ridiculous. Why tolerate that? EQ scooping unwanted frequencies is important and taking out 'speed king devils' isnt??

[@dfrasu]

Poke around on those plugins and all kinds of thing come up! That is something I do all the time.

[@kevinacres1699]

This was such a good idea to do. This was as entertaining as it was informative. Bravo! I need to get myself a lot of alias youtube accounts so I can bump up the likes on videos such as this.

[@cypressmuzik]

Some nice clips for sampling in this video!!!..

[@lennonesque]

Any way we can get a full list of the books on display on the console?

[@SynthStreet]

2 awesome dudes :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!

[@danmeme7740]

Obviously there are tons of different things you can do to change the sound and feel of a song. Goes to show simple is better, get the point across with simple quality. Also goes to show nothing is more important then a good song to begin with. All the great older songs had far less options and still hold up today. I mean what did they have back then? A limited eq, compressors etc.

[@mikesparks3398]

I’ve learned so much from Warren!

[@xon_gfx]

this feels like dejavu

[@bumberClart1000]

Thanks guys

[@2gunzfilms425]

I wish on videos like this, we could get the sessions and actually use them for practice to apply some of this stuff

[@LoveMeBack]

Awesome song!

[@massivebeatzz]

I tried making it bigger for a modern monitor, it seems low resolution geared for murky PC monitors. For me with triple 4K monitors it looks small and grainy. I like my luxurious look, and scalable interface 50% all the way to 200%. Any plans on doing that?

[@DynamicRockers]

@16:18 is it me or it's totally overdriven?

[@cecosvidovski]

watch the video on warren huart's channel idk how waves screwed the audio of this video

On the KIK VU meters are hitting red. How to understand working with VU in digital audio ?

MORE LIKE THIS!!!!!

[@theycallmefilip]

Man that squeaky kick pedal is annoying...

[@jamesklarc6485]

Filip Suciu Led Zeppelin had that same problem. But the song was so good it didn’t matter

[@dankenton]

Sort of strange that Andrew didn't work that out - sounds like Forrest Gump with those leg braces playing the kit.

[@alienair1748]

@@dankenton Bahaha,... I was thinking the same thing. It stands out so much. . to assume Zep had same issue as an excuse to keep it in is insane to me. I would have taken it out by all means if its the same approach to EQ. Scoop out all the junk man.

[@ProDoucher]

I love it!

[@JacobWildrick]

AlienAir yeah no way let it breath.

[@demetrios3232]

Nice video. It might have been helpful to A B the two versions. In other words, let us here the original compared to the tweaked version.

[@9uidin9li9ht2]

There wasn't a real A/B comparison sadly. I have a hard time discerning a real difference between the before and after. I hear some subtle compression mainly and saturation. What am I missing?

[@R3dmanactual]

Man, would have loved to see/hear some vocal work using this...Still cool tho.

[@TerrenceCallahan]

Check out Sean Divine's channel. Pretty sure he's got a pretty detailed video or two using the Omni Channel. Happy mixing!

[@marin4311]

THis plugin seems to be a MUST-HAVE. My wallet cries again.

[@boglot]

Get it, brother man. It’s only $45 right now. I bought it and I’ve been using it on almost every track of my mixes. You could legitimately get a mix to sound professional using only that plugin

[@robshrock-shirakbari1862]

@@boglot The aliasing on Omni Channel is completely over the top. Sorry to be a bummer.

[@shahrammoayedi6246]

So useful 👍 thanks

[@JAROCHELOcesarcastro]

😂 “That would take time” Andrew is my ITB gurú

[@kevinacres1699]

why do the VU meters using the scheps omni channel clip everytime the kick is hit? I thought that's what we wanted to avoid. We are looking for that right volume as we feed from one plugin to another. I looked for this answer before I asked this question but all I get in my search is how a VU meter works and that's rudimentary. So many times I see people on youtube using plugins and the VU meters always slam hard in the red. I can't believe that people want that type of distortion all the time in there mixes?

[@gillihansmobilewelding]

Haha, it's not causing distortion though. The red is just there to scare people who don't know how to mix.

[@voice-of-oblivion]

it indeed is a great plugin.

[@rheubengreen8612]

Awesome.

[@GrandNebSmada]

Unrelated but I wish Andrew did voice acting because he has such a nice full voice

[@producerfuji_official]

Question can you use this plugin on your Entire mix chain and would you put auto tune before or after this plugin . And if you other plugins do you recommend it go at the beginning or end of the chain . Sorry asking 3 question in all

[@andrestuart7994]

well, this is mean to be a channel strip. So this usually goes first and autotune after, but it really all depends on what you do with it..try and experiment

[@producerfuji_official]

@@andrestuart7994 you hank you so it’s it best to put aux bus to your vocals and instrument or you can add it across each ?? And love your videos and break down on the plugin 💙💙✊🏽
