I think it's good to keep some transients when using the clipper though, I tend to overdo it and even with sidechain and everything I found the drums not poking out enough of the mix. These are definitely the tricks to get louder sound though, cheers!

@BossOfAllMer 3 жыл бұрын

Soft clipping is a bit counter productive IMHO. In DnB you want peaking kicks and snares, so that you can push them quite hard into the master limiter. It makes the drums cut through the mix better and adds a bit of additional "sidechain" effect on thr limiter, as everything else ducks when those peaks hit the limiter.

Nice tutorial as always :) But one question - why do you use utility with gain automatisation instead of simply compressor with sidechain input from drums, I think it's more simply :)

@LOckeNElviS 3 жыл бұрын

doesn't make any difference since the compressor input is already ur drums, the gain of the utility is just to make them as loud as they were before. nvm, thought u meant the first drums haha. u are right for the last drums, it is simpler

@bradleyatom 2 жыл бұрын

@@LOckeNElviS There is a difference, Mr Bill talks about this in length but a compressor (not to be confused with a wave shaper which is still automating volume on a grid), can only react after a trigger is sent. It's a small difference but definitely SUPER noticeable when dealing with high DB tracks, but the sidechain on most compressors has a latency of when it actually starts the sidechain because it can't react fast enough because it's reactive to audio being sent to it. On top of that, you get to control the release time using volume modulation. You can do it with a compressor but it involves you highlighting the grid and figuring out how many ms you need the release time to be to make it musical, ie: an 8th note for instance, where when using volume automation, you can cut that step out and even automate the release much, much easier.

It's just an automation curve for the gain of the utility. It's drawn in and not sourced. It is the red line with the dips at 8:30 and just turns the volume down and brings it up again.

@sackoftruth8184 3 жыл бұрын

why do you add another gain utility at the end and not adjust the level on the channel? Is that how you mix your tracks together? I also think it's good to keep some bounce in the parallel drums, so leaving some room for it instead of crushing it, works a lot better than what you did, in my opinion. Cool tutorial but an odd workflow

@DNBAcademy 3 жыл бұрын

The utility at the end is just to leave room for a possible gain automation, is better to do it on an utility rather than the channel level. The bounce on the parallel drums can be added with transient shapers but this is a matter of taste, in this case we leave them crushed. Thanks a lot for sharing those tips. Big up!

Hi, i'm a logic pro x user and i tried to download gclip, because it just has a really simple GUI and honestly it would help me out massively, however i don't know if i can because I think logic needs more than just a vst file. Is there any way around this or is there a similar product out there? Really would appreciate the help. Love the videos too Thanks in advance

Logic uses AU - audio units. Its a different format. Gclip is VST only. You can find other clippers like Gclip though

better off getting a decent break or drum samples, this is a lot of work and pc resources just to give your break a bit more impact.

@Ex0rz 2 ай бұрын

Hows this a lot of work tho? Should only take you less than a minute to do these steps. Setting the compressor as shown in the video is extremely quick and then you just fiddle around with the wet signal until you get the sound you desire. You cant expect to always find the perfect drum samples. If it was that simple we wouldnt need all these techniques and plugins.
