It's a way to play without having to use a pedal. Lower your volume to like 2 or 3 and when you want the full effect, crank the volume. It's a cool effect and is something different than your average clean.

I think it's more of a matter of you looking visually at his projects to understand. For me, these small effects and transitions make so much of a different in terms of bringing out the energy of a track. And after I watched some of these pros talking about this and showing, more and more I hear these subtle transitions and effects coming in. Another thing I always noticed is how big and wide guitars sound and 99% of the times the sound comes from the whole band and not just the guitars alone

Note that you have to pan the guitar (or any mono sound) before the Imager at 8:37 to get it wider. That is why he is sending the guitar into a bus that has the imager plugin on it. He is panning the guitar track into to the bus, and not the bus itself with the imager:)

It’s a fringe subject. But mixing is insane. You get to craft the finishing juice of sound that generates emotions As a music lover, newfound singer song writer: It blows my mind how much you can do with a DIY room treatment, audient mic pres and plugins It’s insane. Million dollar sounds with so little. What a good time to be an artist
@Gregorypeckory
@Gregorypeckory 5 жыл бұрын
It is a good time in terms of tools to make a lot of different sounds. But I'm not sure having more tools than ever is a good enough advantage to call this a "good time to be an artist". I know some extremely gifted and hard working musicians who after a lifetime of hard work on their playing skills, songs, networking, and a hundred other things they do to create a good musician's life, are still struggling and in many cases, either doing day jobs or teaching for most of their money, as well as living with very little of it, sharing rentals with others at middle age, etc. The more I think about it, the more it is a great time to be a musician as a hobby if you have a good source of income to indulge in cool tools and a place to use them, but a very poor time to be a pro musician, unless you're willing and able to concentrate on a lucrative career path at the expense of following your own creative direction. For example, people who write brilliant music, but are also willing to dress up as a classic rock band and do a tribute act, are almost sure to make most of their money (a very good living if they're crowd pleasers who get some nice casino gigs) doing the act, not with their own music.
@tobiasjone
@tobiasjone Жыл бұрын
The tools we have today are amazing, but unfortunately, there’s a lot of people stabbing in the dark trying to use them. I used to work in an all-analogue studio (and still do mastering work in the analogue domain), and trained under experienced and accomplished engineers who passed on a lot of knowledge, first hand. This process of learning via osmosis is being replaced by KZfaq videos and forums, which just isn’t the same at all. Also, even though awesome AD/DA, pres and mics can be bought for very little outlay, a lot of people use amp sims, VST drums etc (which are great in their own way) instead of using the amazingly affordable recording equipment to capture sounds with real air around them, and all these nuances / errors that make the audio sound organic, without having to fake it.

That s1 is such a killer little plugin whenever you need some gratuitous width on something. It’s funny because it’s so Spartan and old school looking compared to all these insane modern plugins with perfectly rendered knob dust and fader wear graphics. But that one little, 20th century looking imaging plugin really throws certain sources right outside the speakers and created immediate interest under the right circumstances.
