[@SaniBanks]

SSL plugins are HIGHLY underrated. SSL is slowly becoming the best plugin manufacturer. And they have good customer service 👀

[@AdelSweezy]

fact ! they're channel strip is the best in the market for me

[@MarcPapers]

I love SSL hardware. The plugins can come in many forms tho. The UAD SSL plugins are a bit better than the waves imo.

[@407movementBeats]

Are we speaking ssl plugins or other companies ssl plugins ? I love ssls actual plugins

[@OPENNOTES24]

@@407movementBeatsyeah them official ssl plug-ins are crazy

[@SaniBanks]

@@407movementBeats Yea, i was referring to plugins manufactured by SSL.

[@NautiNick]

Switched from Logic to Studio one. Copped KNOCK. Copped Master Plan. Copped UAD Spark. Wife copped me a LA-220 for Christmas!! Mannnnn This was a crazy year. Ya dont know how much ya elevated my mixing and recording just from having these conversations!! Happy Holidays to the whole HMD Gang !!

[@JTFuller]

FACTS @NautiNick..

[@goobabooba1665]

Dude you’re lucky with that wife

[@Dyji__]

My Audio Nerds podcast is the ultimate inspiration for this production space. Truly grateful for this podcast. Happy holidays 💯

[@AdelSweezy]

Thanks for all guys it's been a pleasure to follow you over all the episodes

[@ed.e.b961]

My favorite episodes are MixedByAli and Teezio hands down 🙅🏾‍♂️😂 And I would say my favorite moment was when L. Jean talked about playing his mix on public transit, the chopped version had me dead bro 💀

[@MakePopMusic]

Thank you guys! Yep, I'm in Cubase. Let me know if you guys ever want to try it out! 👀

[@liljedahlmusic9771]

Low key I believe Reason be the most slept on, I rarely see anyone really throwing round the name or speaking on them. But they got some the craziest soft synths and midi players out there. Highly recommend checking out objekt and friktion (might’ve butchered the spelling) or the midi chord maker, bass line generator, or other midi players that be crazy intuitive! Much love y’all and merry Christmas thank you for y’all’s videos 🙏🏼🔥🔥

[@VelourFromVA]

I literally came to the comments to say the EXACT same thing. It’s like REASON has people in a gag order and they aren’t allowed to speak about it. I truly feel that most people get intimidated by the software. But truth be told it has the best overall sound quality before even mixing. But who knows why the crew NEVER speak of it. But most def slept ON…. 😴

[@davidmanning6398]

Agreed

[@MrUpgradeMusic]

Okay so first I want to give a shout out and say thank you to the my audio nerds podcast for just being genuine and creating this space for producers and Engineers alike. Me being a producer myself and also musician it's a lonely world out here when you come in contact with people, artists, enthusiasts who don't speak the language that we speak and y'all have created a platform to make that music/producer world more inclusive and not so lonely! Y'all have had a hell of a year and even though funds haven't been correct I will become a paying member by the first of the year. From episode 1 I was hooked but I was a fan of Hmd prior to the introduction to the pod so I've been around for a while and man.... y'all got something special. Look forward to the next year with ya'll and salute! 💯 💯 💯

[@graykeyzmusic]

What a great year!! Too many moments to pick a fav but listen, every sentence that Teezio dropped was a gem 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

[@_CUANDO]

This really needed for our audiophile community, all praise to y’all.

[@zantilla]

Congrats y'all, so glad y'all are here, this podcast makes my week. You're doing so much good for our community and I for one am grateful and feel seen. now imma get my shit off... Bitwig is by far the most slept on, cus we have heat and we don't even get mentioned by anybody. We got MPE in the piano roll. We got container devices, we can multiband ANYTHING. We got modulators, CLAP, we got stupid control of sampling, etc. we got the works, y'all missing out. I've replace over half my plugins with just the stock tools. hell, that new Transit joint? we could make that from stock in like an 30 minutes

[@mainskia.m2768]

Real talk yall can keep the EQ. I've learned so much about mixing from you guys its re-energizing to see people have fun talking shop about all the technical stuff. Im FL GANG by the way

[@darkus_prod]

Favourite episodes DECAP & L.Dre & AJ HALL. Really dope you guys had them on your platform AJ is truly a gem to producer who want really fly swinging dusty drums. Favourite moment Devvon shedding a big bro tear watching his homies grow. Wholesome stuff. Easily my favourite pod of the year 🙏🏿

[@Koosa-kq2hv]

Slate Digital has teamed up with SSL...that was DOPE!!!!

[@alreadyit]

thanks guys + folks behind the camera. love this podcast and have learned so much

[@HShorro]

i just want to say THANK YOU all you 3 and YOUR TEAM we appreciate you all thank you all for this PODCAST

[@HelpMeDevvon]

I really appreciate that!

[@djmartyj5525]

Thank you for the advice in this channel.wish you guys a happy new year and more well deserved success.

[@THENAMEISJJAX]

Protools is the kid that hit puberty a long time ago with the mustache FL Studio is the class clown that gets to date the most popular dude/girl in school Logic is the mad scientist nerd kid Studio One is the jock Ableton is the emo dude Cubase is the quiet exchange student …Audacity is the dead kid you dedicate the yearbook to

[@randyswagg9295]

The DAW that does Dolby Atmos (Which comes built in) in a user friendly way is STUDIO ONE v.6.5. They use a binaural audio feature the let's you simulate the Atmos audio in headphones.

[@iamsoul_za]

17:47 Respect Image-Line!! I'm proud that I'm a FL Studio user. 🙏🏽😂

[@okaymazi]

Been watching for a while now and keep coming back to learn something new every episode, keep creating gold 💥

[@DohBoi863]

Most underrated DAWs no particular order... Studio One, Cubase, and Bitwig. Honorable mention would be Cakewalk Sonar which is said to be making a comeback in 2024 I've used their older versions before and I've always enjoyed the workflow. #StudioOne

[@iamsoul_za]

Cubase is definitely underrated. If I'm not using FL Studio, my next DAW is Cubase.

[@OCTO8R]

​@@iamsoul_zacheck Bitwig. Just check it 😉

[@DreamslideProductions]

I love how this has grown man, made ups to yall. I love that we all bicker over our daws (coughcoughSTUDIOONEISBESTcough) but we can see all the flaws and triumphs in everything. This is for real the only podcast I tune in to. One of my goals for the next two years is to step up my KZbin game to get a mention on here. Mark this comment as proof💪🏾

[@KingsviewENTMT]

I loved that Roger Cloud episode because that so full of knowledge

[@aronrobinson2887]

Best Pod Ever... 1 thing I remember is when I damn near she'd a tear when D was talking bout that first big check... Audio Community HMD had given us more this year than all audio companies combined as far as knowledge, game, and laughs. I say all this to say " I want that hmd compressor " lol. @aheezwhoitbe

[@HelpMeDevvon]

My friend you won I’m DMING U NOW

[@aronrobinson2887]

Devon so Nice wit it, he even chose a Pro Tools User for a Winner.. This Guy just doesn't miss...

[@LegendSummingMusic]

I’m really happy that not only is this channel growing but I’m able to carry conversations and collab with some crazy producers,engineers,artists in this community ❤🎉

[@RP14_Music]

Studio one and Bitwig already have the project share so you can “translate” sessions from one to the other

[@RP14_Music]

@rp_14music

[@OmgCoreyWTF]

My favorite guest was def MixedByAli on paper because y'all dug deep on the thought process for some of Kendrick's best projects but the most surprising was Ryan Schwabe Digital, it was super dope to see y'all work with not only the creatives but hardware company's, plugin company's, and enlighten people on the more technical side of music this is dope Y'all keep it going. You guys should ask a acoustican or something next because knowing how your room sounds, I think you guys talked to Teezio about it

[@116boogie]

i got the RME ucx ii for Christmas that sh!t sounds amazing.big up

[@Sickknessofficial]

Much love keep it up 🎉

[@dziwoah]

I'm a protools, ableton and fl user now lmao it's dope because I use them all for different things

[@gasmanondatrack]

GREAT EPISODE FELLAS

[@luckyjuju8710]

Y’all give me hope being DIY producer/mixer

[@diablefernal]

Hi guys big fan of what you do amazing and I kind of agree with you I was on Logic for approx 15 years until I swap for Studio One 4 years ago and yes the GUI is not amazing but the workflow DAMN never been able to go back to Logic !!!!!!

[@deiontebrown9933]

Cakewalk is slept on byyyyyyyy far! Plus they are dropping Cakewalk sonar soon which, as a Cakewalk user I couldn't be more excited for

[@domh9117]

waiting for spectrasonics is like waiting for gta6

[@cheapspace]

but damn when they finally release tho...

[@ToureP]

James Cameron did Terminator 1 and 2. As well as Aliens(the sequel to the first one) those 3 movies sent him to the moon. But this podcast is super dope. You guys kept popping up on Tik Tok, plus the lack of mention of Cubase made me want to check you guys out. For the record Cubase is better than FL. LOL

[@lilian896]

Ribbon mic episode was eye opening!★

[@treezyarroyo9129]

Teezio episode was a gem 💎 But hey, lets get Busybeats or Curtiss king soon

[@Truth.from.the.Zulu.1]

🔥 video as usual. Curious to know do yall have any experience with the “Gold Clip” plugin. Would be very appreciative to see a review of it or just know your thoughts. Peace!

[@MixedByDnyce]

Cubase shoutout . Much love

[@MrCamwilliams7]

UAD spark 👌🏾 you won’t regret it

[@maddfrequency2294]

Teezio best episode. No recent bias, just cat broke down SIMPLE. HONORABLE mention was Ali

[@Mr.TeETH78]

Yes! Call out these companies! Thank you!

[@djmartyj5525]

by the way you shoul do an interview with Cliff St-Cyr from HartraxRecords you'll be supprised to what knowledge he has in the industy and gear.

[@imBlizRicks]

Waves Diamond bundle used to be all over them seven seas 😂 Was alot of ours introduction to plugins

[@BrennonZSmith]

Studio one has native atmos that you can use in headphones. It's super easy

[@davidbutler5101]

Serato Studio is hellllllla slept on

[@DappadanD87]

22:03 I don’t like the look of the saw either but I’m definitely a studio one user

[@emptytombprod]

2:09 sounds like a DAW user anonymous meeting lol 😅😂

[@Dee.Huncho]

Teezio was one of my favorites

[@jazzylamel]

THANK YOU!! CUBASE MOST SLEPT ON

[@simmyautomatik4436]

Happy Holidays

[@beatprocess]

Luna is free for mac users and has a free instrument called Shape tool kit. Great drums and piano. Bass too

[@cryingemojiupyours]

ngl i been using the spirit lately and its gone getting my lead rap vocals very tight and upfront

[@nicolasdieuvel6796]

The way Courtney reacted when LJ mentioned being fat and watching Naruto @32:11😂

[@DozaVybz]

I think Rode and Mackie just merge 38:20 Antares could Adapt the Smart Eq 4 feature 41:50 but the would mean you'd still have an instant of the plugin on each track..

[@oglxc]

SMOOTH!

[@mannyferrer193]

Focusrite has the clarett plus line which are better than a lot of interfaces out there that cost more.

[@rudi876]

Im not sure how many of us there are but Im someone who has no idea about producing/engineering totally foreign to me but still, I listen all the time

[@mylesmikieal]

WE IN THE BUILDING!!!!!

[@wavydavybeats]

If Jaycen drop a 1073 plugin, I'm coppin fasho

[@daeshonfields1402]

Y’all are cooking because imagine if a glossy obsidian version of the HMD plugins comes out that would be insane

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Fam that would slap

[@niisowah_]

9:50 is the camera audio plus subtitles an option? I wouldn't mind😅

[@LeakBanga]

I agree Fl is revolutionary however, Waves will always be relevant due to the fact even the old school plugins from them gets the job don.. And fab filters don’t get enough love

[@therealdjslim]

My breakthrough VST came from SAUCEWARE AUDIO and LUNACY AUDIO

[@beatprocess]

I been using Luna

[@FanzOfTheCultureNetwork]

Studio one Is the best Daw. I'll scream it from the top of the hills

[@GGS348]

Bro "Obsidian edition" would go hard tbh

[@SaniBanks]

I used Protools for 7yrs and switched to Studio One 1yr ago. For me, its not similar at all. Yea, they have a setting where you can use Protools shortcuts in Studio One, but thats just about it. As an engineer/artist, Studio One is just light years ahead imo. The workflow is not really comparable. Though, it took me a couple weeks to get adjusted. In essence, all DAWs work the same. So I feel like once you learn one DAW, you can move to another within a few weeks (if that).

[@marc942]

Consolidation dream right now is UAD and Logic/Luna

[@stevii5542]

Larry ohhh 🔥

[@davidfields1920]

I’m just here checking to see if I got the black disc yet 🤪🤪🤪🔊🔊

[@bubbajonesmusic]

Studio One has user freindly Dolby Atmos on lock already.

[@lortakeover2129]

Time stamp for top plugins ?

[@aNewDope]

There's an Ableton Live Soothe clone as well

[@OmgCoreyWTF]

Arturia is also a cracking plugin company

[@xxspinzzxx]

Guys studio one already has the ability to share projects between diff DAWs

[@JAMES-zp7zd]

MORE LOGIC USERS 2024‼️ We have our own version of grossbeat btw. Top 2 and its not 2

[@ProdJbrenz]

I feel like Courtney and I are the exact same person lmao. Same humour lmao

[@MarcPapers]

I use logic and Luna. Luna is the best daw in the world.

[@Mr.TeETH78]

In music bought Moog!

[@ezurg01]

You guys know that studio one can translate any session to other daws right??

[@kevspeakstruth]

Another fun fact is the version we have of that Celine song was actually the demo version she did and she didn’t even like it!

[@emptytombprod]

AJ, Teezio, Decap. Hands down.

[@ZepelinBeats]

Became a fan some time this summer and It's been a hell of a ride so far. Love yall

[@803MUSICGROUP]

Studio One, REASON, and Cubase/Nuendo are underrated!!!!

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Nuendo back in the day was incredible

[@mimarrecords]

Team Ableton ❤

[@studio9ine2wentyone]

If FL Studio came out with an interface, I think that would make them the MVP.

[@lahlii]

Yall need a 4th guy. An MPC guy.
