hard to resist these plugins after u dive into them! these channel strip combos are really cool too!

@@toddlask yeah, today i checked and their site shows a €169 euro price! (everything seems to be on 'reduced' offer today) but i did the video over the weekend when it was showing €299 euros.

@@dancetech yeah i logged in and theyre offering it to me for $119. too hard to pass up! great job on the vid btw.

And...they just released an update today with a new module EQ-PA. It really is a fantastic suite of tools for the price.

@@kshep39 👍

Thanks mate 👍

Eesderryrq lol ok

i've done a few Quick Sampler tut's already (search channel or 'quick sampler'). not sure if they cover what you want. I think you are talking about a new Drum Machine Designer tutorial showing new stuff you can do with the Quick Sampler behind it working as the engine? I have covered some of that. Search our channel for Quick Sampler.

👍 Yup! I'm just doing a video for COMPREXXOR which'll be up soon. T-Racks emulation of the Empirical Labs Distressor, very nice!

Great review 👍

@@dancetech Haha, I get carried away and overshare sometimes! right back at you, marvelous review.

@@akagerhard no no it's all good man, 👍 you should do some reviews for plugins when we get the new site launched next year: Preview: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osdora99uNqbZas.html

@@dancetech wow, that's a lot of amazing work you put in there. I know very little about the history. The bits I know are basically when I buy a plugin-emulation of something and read about why they are emulating that piece of historic equipment (wether it be processors or instruments and drumboxes). What I can do is use plugins, run them through an analyser and judge what stage of production I'd use them for. I'd be happy to do that - I'm more comfortable with talking about plugins I own and use a lot, but taking a demo for a spin should be doable too.

Tell me about it!! (iLok) Gated reverb? make your own using any Mall or Plate reverb and the SSL channel dynamics Gate 👍

@@dancetech That's what I do at the moment 👍

already done it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/js5nh5yFmbm6ZWg.html

those are both essentially screen extensions which allow control of various sorts, but nothing is processed on the core of the extension device afaik

you want a review of the equalisers?

turn the volume down?

@@dancetech ok so before I test the preset I first need to turn the volume down and then I need test right?

@@vcodev108 if the volume jump is that bad, mute the track, load the preset, check meter, unmute the track. Pain in the butt, but it will save your ears and you should start to get to the point where you know what fx is killing your gain.

@@TheEggdogg Yes thats what I have been thinking for a while thanks for the tip!

well i suppose not if you are doing more trad' mixing AND/OR if you are a more advanced user who can work out how to do what Mixbox does in some of its more creative FX based patches. About half of the Mixbox processors/fx are NOT included in T-Racks, & it's those filters, modulators etc that play a greater role in EDM sound construction rather than trad' mixing - although having said that, if you experiment with the DAW host plugins & T-Racks plugins you already own, you could achieve many things Mixbox can do, but just not as easily & conveniently. Depends what music you make & how big your wallet is. So for instance, the couple of examples I showed at the start with the drum & bass loops. You already have the inverse reverb in T-Racks, so combine that with an amp/cab rig to get the speaker cabinet sound, also some eq & compression and you'd get pretty much the same thing. Another example... Mixbox has the Slicer which I used in the bigger song mix, POST a reverb, to slice up the reverb with a Slicer pattern which was then auto-panned and a few other modulations. If you dont have that Slicer tool you could use a gate - POST any reverb - triggered from a midi pattern to slice the reverb output with a pattern determined by the midi pattern notes (which means you are in absolute control of that pattern, rather than relying on a preset in Slicer), and then feed the whole lot into a auto-panner, flanger, whatever & you'd get something similar.... the process inside Mixbox is just easier and of course you can save those created ideas more easily to load up on other projects etc more quickly. Much of the Mixbox sounds ARE achievable with individual fx plugins, but you have to know how to conceptualise those signal flows and it's a bit more fiddly to set them up & then save & re-use them in future 👍

@@dancetech I was only thinking of this as a traditional mixing tool ala OmniChannel or McDSP 6060. It’s not for me right now, as Ableton can do quite a bit with its rack system.

@@dancetech +1 good post, I would like to add that MixBox is super fun to use and lightning fast at getting a good result. I'm impressed with MB.
