What Are The Best Audio Plugins Ever Made?

[@graykeyzmusic]

I wish these Audio companies understood how much we come to this podcast for their expertise… I can’t tell you how many game changing plugins I have bought because I trust these guys so much. My favorite podcast EVER!

[@ZAY________]

100% daily

[@tymoni3606]

H-Delay would never leave my DAW it never fails and also it’s the only wave plugin I really used

[@michaelcucchiara]

The waves holy trinity is that the de esser and the sound shifter for me. But their update plan makes me not use any of em

[@herealbutler]

Me being a new engineer & learning most of my skills from Devon, I feel real good because I came across Spectre on my own a while back & was blew away by it, so the fact that they stamping it like that makes me feel like I came far with my mixing knowledge fr

[@solemartyr]

I randomly found Buggy on Twitch a couple months back and I've been learning so much from his streams. So to hear he was a part of HMD at one point was dope af to hear 🔥🔥

[@jutsu_]

I might have to unsub low key. This pod hurting my wallet. Every time y’all shoutout a plugin, I’m obligated to fly in. 😅

[@HelpMeDevvon]

LMAOOOO

[@prod.xx808xx]

😂😂😂ngl, 23:28, you sold me on Spectre. Frequency and MID-SIDE control on a saturation plugin is 🔥.

[@GillyThaGOAT-fu6uv]

Bruh! Facts! 😂

[@EngeniusBeatz]

Mid side saturation you sayyy?

[@WhyNotDudeMusic00]

Hahahaha

[@enriquequinonez1330]

I needed this episode was stuck between what audio plugin I should get I appreciate y’all

[@iamquaret]

Yoooooooooooooo. Studio one is here

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Yurrrr

[@ELLIOT8209]

It's in South Africa too

[@graykeyzmusic]

Teezio and Benjamin Thomas dropped SOOOOOOOOOO many gems 💎💎💎💎💎, I had to keep pausing the videos just to take it all in

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Factsss

[@Sub-Zero-gr5cf]

Gotta watch the new one with Leslie

[@Sub-Zero-gr5cf]

Gotta watch the new one with Leslie

[@MarcusSt0ne]

I LOVE Pro-Q 3... but, that Kirchoff EQ kinda does it a smidge better IMO. 👀

[@Bhebhe]

Can you do automated EQ sweeps on Kirchoff?

[@MarcusSt0ne]

yeah I'm pretty you can automate most things for each band (frequency, gain, Q)? It's dynamic section is also more tweak able where Pro-Q 3 only has a threshold and auto mode @@Bhebhe

[@macmoll]

D-Verb = Digidesign Reverb. That would be my guess at least. Protool’s was under Digidesign before it switched to Avid.

[@kennera]

Magix Sequioa and Samplitude Pro has had those functions since they were created. That is why the mastering engineers use those DAWs. Give them props. Daws are playing catchup to them.. real talk.

[@michaelcucchiara]

I jus learned the basics of Sequoia and it's so powerful. Just having an accurate LUFS meter should be standard in all DAWs at this point 😭

[@boseyhad2doit2em]

The 3a is so cold. When I didn’t know anything I started with it. And after I learned I strayed from it. But then I listened back and thought. Those tracking are fire just did everything else around it with room treatment as a rookie. Wish I could just fix that and leave the emotion of old recordings hahah

[@boseyhad2doit2em]

@boseyboi_

[@damnrney]

RVox might be the only Waves plugin I stan.

[@ZAY________]

R-AXX I find to be better because R-Vox seems to have a weird tone / frequncy to it

[@aviatedviewssound4798]

Ya boys ain't ready for that la-4 opto compressor, fuse audio labs has a plugin emulation, it's the best vocal compressor, one of MJ's favorite and it's very transparent and smooth, it pairs well with any saturator specially since the CL 1B is inspired by it.

[@ElliottMcKenzie]

I literally record vocals with nothing but CLA reverb on the bus. Do this for the ENTIRE record. Then go in after and add tune and mix it. It's SOOOOO clean this way. Have the Artist go sing/rap it in with nothing but reverb. Then go in and add plugins after during mixing. This will also solve the issue of "singers" who can't really sing relying on the autotune too much. Take it off completely.

[@rjsworld1512]

I use Spectre on every mix but it’s not Hall of Fame, YET. It’s a perennial all-star, league mvp, and on its way to being a 1st ballot HOF. Give it time for this conversation.

[@JTAITSINGER]

LJ got that M1 with 64gigs of Ram, amazing! Yo LJ. What interface did you end up getting?

[@airellmarklew]

SSL G-Master Buss Compressor hands down is legendary

[@delmixedit]

The thing about RVox and RComp is that the same thing as what y’all said earlier about using a template for 5-10yrs. Lots of people just use what they been using since they were an intern.

[@vontreherumaiBH]

I used to be a plug-in junky .. I recently started using Hardware eq and hardware compression on my vocals and now I barely use plugins 😂😭😭😭😭😭 and don’t even use all the plugin spaces in pro tools.

[@ezurg01]

Studio one gang gang ❤

[@abbadonproductioninc]

Yo this episode is dope! Shout out FL Gang!! Speaking of Wavesfactory Spectre, I believe the free Melda Production equaliser plugin has global saturation but I wonder if you can use it like Spectre in some way!! 🤔

[@JadezProductions85]

Bro yall put me on to Subloom. That thing crazyyy been processing my kicks & basses for my sound kits and it hits everytime. Definitely gonna try Spectre next

[@justiceg5265]

This is an unbelievably useful podcast goddamn

[@detreval9685]

Y’all should make a poll if possible of y’all top 30 and then have the community pick the top 10 from there starting the audio nerds podcast plug-in Hall of Fame

[@djbrozer2392]

Definitly SOOTHE 2. Not necessary the bread and butter of all tracks but that plugin really blow my mind.

[@datboiicrazzy7808]

I agree wit LJ but that spectre hit, i replaced it wit my saturn, it hits on alot of my clients vocals and use blackbox on my master. Idk i wanna try it on my master bus juss to hear it out like ah badman 😂😂

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Son put him on lmao

[@samson4272]

Would love more music biz shares. This was amazing!

[@jonnytrilla223]

I thought I knew nun but mixing but use most of these already ! 😂 I guess I’m onto something thanks. That lofi 0.1 !!

[@Freewayquezmusic]

Wanted to get Spector but I got ozone and that exciter does the job

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Fam I got that too but boy does that spectre does some magical things and is way more surgical

[@ELLIOT8209]

​@@HelpMeDevvondoes spectre do the same thing as Blackbox HG?

[@rjjtmt]

@@ELLIOT8209does more

[@HRPL-ej9zo]

If u got Izotope Neutron u dont need spectre. You can do the same with neutron exciter in multiband mode.

[@graykeyzmusic]

Whoa!!! Did LJ say that Carmelo might not make HOF on basketball??? 👀👀👀👀👀 Top 12 all-time scoring, he's easy in... lol

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Melo is def making it to theHOF

[@IamQrock]

Yo! I think having Oak Felder on one of these types of episodes would be amazing! He loves to talk about stuff like this too! I really enjoyed this episode lol y’all funny man 😂 such a great podcast

[@AMMixes15]

I use L2 still and I love it. I’ll use it before I go into my limiter

[@straighttrippingmusic]

Would love an episode on how and when you'd use Spectre?? Seen you talk about it a lot.. Seen a different episode you said you like it on kicks,??

[@IlluminiousProd]

Good stuff bro. Literally about to buy Spectre and Valhalla

[@datboiicrazzy7808]

Courtneys "OH YEAH OH YEAHH" got me lmaooo

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Lmao

[@ProdNile]

[@taggangmember]

[@jaminjohnson7225]

I lived in Houston all my life. Never heard of it.

[@davidfields1920]

34:41 I think it’s because digidesign owned that plug-in for a while

[@Its_Raymond]

I’m curious on what plugins y’all put on a vocal chain vs bussing it out? 🤔

[@bobmcgee8577]

dev please make a video on spectre, i use it but i prefer saturn maybe cause it was my first saturator

[@cannonflacko6214]

Honorable mention goes to RTA F6

[@djmattzmusic]

"quality meat" is crazy 😂😂

[@chrismccullough3516]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@therealonetherealone]

What you do to your Bass with Saturn i do the same thing with Ozone

[@hundertprozent100]

Is there any Plugin that has similar meters like TGP for the Lows, Mids & Highs hitting a sweet Spots? I think it would be very helpful if u are Starting a mix with a Kick to know how much LOWEND , MIDS AND HIGHS and compression for a Kick is ENOUGH! How do o know IF the Frequencies on a Kick are in A GOOD Balance.???? NOT AN EASY QUESTION, I know THANKS

[@herealbutler]

& even tho I learned a lot from Devon, I still use Studio One, DO YO HOMEWORK ON STUDIO BEING THE BEST OF ALL DAW WORLDS.

[@hottrakz]

The vintage warmer and the elephant limiter

[@Adimejoint40]

19:56 Zion been going crazy dis season 😭

[@SaniBanks]

H-Delay got snubbed, thats crazy

[@PreachGoldMusic]

[@AaronBakerDub]

[@jesselavigne3545]

[@HelpMeDevvon]

That’s true not gon cap

[@nathanprezaps1045]

Yo where my cubase 13 ppl at?! Lol lowkey cubase is fire for mixing, stop sleeping!

[@3rty6ixRaps]

I'm with you bro! I don't care what anybody has to say, Cubase 13 is currently the best DAW for mixing. The features in that thing, crazy man, crazy! If not for any major updates, i'm gonna stick to Cubase 13. I feel like steinberg doesn't get the praise they deserve. 🙌🔥🔥🔥

[@jessezfromboston]

What camera do you use for the A roll

[@HelpMeDevvon]

All A7 iii and one A7 iv

[@YEE941]

[@PRESTIJUS]

Never clicked off a video so fast.💨 Came for plug-in advice y’all talking about McDonald’s 🤦🏽‍♂️ crazy you said as a panelist you don’t like terrible KZbin intros

[@ScottFarlee]

FL STUDIO DESERVES CLIP FX LIKE HOW STUDIO ONE AND PRO TOOLS HAVE IT

[@itstyx2]

Hands down lo-fi the best stock 🔌 protools gang stand up 🫡

[@pqila]

I've learned that less is more in mixing. Meaning less plug ins lol 😅

[@bryantlroeback3287]

METRIC A/B. Without referencing your music against a well recorded track your mix has less a chance to sound competitive.

[@WUNTZN4EVR]

FL is definitely checkers

[@gforceink]

Melodyne is included in Mixcraft Pro Studio btw....just fyi.....

[@SupremeSpeaking]

Mixcraft is goated

[@nurd_afrikhan]

Rvox is the only plugin you can't find an alternative for!!

[@nobodyspecialmusic]

Same af. I don't have the best computer so some waves plugins load a lil slow and I would love something faster but can't replace it shit is goated lol

[@Rio-uv1gs]

Voxengo Harmonizer and Waves Vitamin does what Spectre does

[@jesselavigne3545]

Bruh deer ankles aren’t that bad

[@Dream-bw8sv]

They not lyin Rvox is essential at this point bruh and the tone it gives is crzy

[@delmixedit]

Olive Garden!!!!!! That’s a low bar 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@michaelduffproductions8976]

Didnt denise god mode do that before spectre?

[@GodlyAttire]

My waves subscription just got cancelled today 😂😂😂 I gotta pay them boys soon

[@nashse7en]

Bro Fl is affordable and lifetime cause they know that cracks will only get better and faster.

[@kazkumar]

I NEED A MIKE DEAN POD BOYS CMONN

[@Hovss]

Ableton gang

[@bobmcgee8577]

i hate to say it but fl is arby’s cause we have the meats …pause but who has a beefier sound than fl

[@KingKasper]

YAMAHA HS5 IS CHIPOTLE...SPECIFICALLY the hs5

[@Blah-i7n]

i think devon got hurt when i commented his new hair looked like my dirty broom after cleaning the entire house

[@DruDilly]

Spectre is Luka Doncic

[@pesopeso510]

LJ!!! BRO!! FL might SERIOUSLY have piano roll competition fam, i recently downloaded Ableton 12 and 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶. Been watching tutorials breaking down all the features and loyal Fl gang might not fold but they might be suduced into cheating more often lol i cant WAIT to hear yall talk about it 😂 😂. I can see Courtney staring and seducing the mf camera and stealing that voice you use like you tryna seduce ppl into using fl 😂 and Devon giving props but being hurt at the same time

[@Noltababy]

I wish there was an Ableton user on this podcast. It’s way too popular of a DAW, especially outside of hip hop, to be shitted on the way all these guys do. It’s got is superior qualities and it’s bs like all the others

[@runituproil2373]

10 nuggets for a dollar 😂

[@ScottFarlee]

ABLETON FEELS LIKE IT HAS A WHAT??

[@SeraphymMusic]

Focusrite is McDonald's??? MAAAAN WATCH OUT!!!! Don't forget Focusrite has a PRO level side of the game! They don't even share a website with the "little red boxes" you must be referring to.

[@AaronBakerDub]

WOW!!!!!!

[@cliffhangerzz8411]

31:55 😂😂

[@KC10234]

Pro tools is def chic fil a

[@davidbutler5101]

UAD = La Madeleine

[@KRXTORRR]

Dev still sick of LJ🤣🤣

[@HelpMeDevvon]

[@lortakeover2129]

I don’t understand how the guy with the glass can sit on the couch with all these professional engineers,Get the chance to ask all the questions and tools ,& yet he haven’t even used spectal bro give lazy vibes he need to step up his game, bro it’s a lot of plugins out here gotta think outside the box and try different stuff and find your own sound just using waves is sooo outdated

[@lortakeover2129]

I’m not tryna be mean or a hater i search KZbin looking for gems

[@AMMixes15]

LA3A is the GOAT
