Hey Sean thanks for the idea! Im curious about the order of how you have the chain in the video. Many of the famous Rap vocal hardware chains i've seen in pictures / videos would be a rack case with a - Sony C800-G / U47/87 > Neve / BAE 1073 > CL1B > Apollo x6 - - Now, in your video you have the 1073 going right into the 1176. Was just wanting to ask about that. If I owned a real 1073, I would in fact just go to the CL1B directly right? Or are all those guys sending and returning to the CL1B?

Great video breakdown. You never disappoint. I value your opinion on which is the best fit for my question. I produce my own music (rap) as well as my wife's (neo-soul). Which program would you suggest for a beginner for mastering their own music? 1. Ozone 10 | 2. SSL Fusion (Using your StudioRacks preset) | 3. Waves (Using your StudioRacks mastering presets) . Thanks!
@SeanDivine Жыл бұрын
Thanks! It depends on your workflow / plugin preferences - if you have little to no mastering experience and just want a quick but usable suggestion, Ozone 10. SSL Fusion presets if you want the signature Fusion sound which is very different than Ozone. Mastering Chains SR presets if you want lots of different styles and prefer to be able to tweak / learn some of the processing that's happening behind the scenes :)

The CL1B offered in UAD site is the same as the one this video, as it is provided by Softube for the UAD ecosystem And finally, you could use any De-esser, reverb and limiter solution provided by your DAW or go with the Precision plugins they offer at UAD and EMT or Lexicon reverbs

Need your input on this, when I mix I have like my ocd like I like to literally match peaks before and after a plugin but I just can’t do that all the time lol it’s ridiculous. I do want to use my ears but sometimes I feel like I need a meter, i understand when gain staging it just needs to be in ball park when I’m comparing a plugin before and after, I just need to just have more confidence and not be obsessed with numbers and matching them

The main benefits are 1. Being able to save a template that can work in any daw. 2. Being able to turn any stage into Multi-Band. 3. The Macros can be used to really customize HOW you mix.
