Many stock plugins, at least the ones I use, which are the delays, the compressor, the EQ the DeEsser, the reverb, are fantastic! Avid’s reverb, the plate setting is a fantastic sounding plate. It’s kind of a secret weapon! Do you know how many people I know that when they’re using Pro Tools like the stock plate? It’s really popular. And if you’re using side chain compression on it, it can get even better still!
I think the reason why I try to push using stock plugins at all is because, I want to encourage you to make music!
My job is to help you and mentor you in the best possible way I can. I’m not one of the channels going “You’re doing it wrong!” That’s not my job. I’m not telling you a bunch of bologna because I’m looking at the waveforms and saying “Look it’s out of phase!” What does it sound like? Listen, don’t look at the music.
With all that in mind it I feel it is my responsibility to encourage you, not to tell you off! I make mistakes every single day of my life. I’ve done videos where I’ve made mistakes! I will joke about it and I will wear it. It doesn’t bother me because that’s how people grow. We make mistakes.

After I bought all of the popular third party plug-ins, I realized that by combining two or three stock plug-ins together, I could get the same or similar results. It was really a matter of learning EQ, Compression, Saturation, Reverb and Delay before I could apply the different mixing techniques to get a good mix. Not necessarily the plug-ins. Thanks!

As Warren says, the best plug-in in the world is a good recording. Stock plug-ins work very well on good recordings. 3rd party plug-ins mostly save time. My mixes didn't start to sound good until I started recording good performances with good sound selections. Now I'm using both stock and 3rd party plug-ins that I understand and know how to use very well.

Possibly one of your best tutorials, even over all the hands-on technique stuff. I think the best argument for stock plug-ins is the ability to open the session up on other systems. Yes, how can you even think of final mixing a song before the vocals are done? Yes, give the vocalist anything and everything they need to feel comfortable. I have audio feeds to little mixing stations so they can dial up their own balance of instruments. I had one guy who was only able to sing while he was driving in his car. I recorded him sitting in a cushy bucket-seat chair and placed a large round object the size of a steering wheel in his hands, dropped a mic in front of his face and away we went!

You can watch KZfaq and surf forums all day and gather data, but you only gather experience by doing! Getting better comes from listening critically to what you've produced, played, etc. What was good about it, what could use improvement? The tough part is getting the "ears"/experience to know the what, where, and how to improve the results. Especially at the beginning when you don't know where to start or what to fix first. Getting some one-on-one, professional, critique and feedback is well worth it. One tailored, private lesson is worth 100s of hours of trying to figure it out yourself in the beginning.

Hi Warren, another great video! You spoke briefly of templates in this video. Would you consider doing a short video on basic starting point templates for guitar, bass guitar, kick, and snare? You have separate videos posted on how to eq bass, and drums, etc....but I would love to see a video covering the major rock instruments all in one video. I totally agree with what you said where there is really no magic template, because every song is different...but it would be extremely helpful to have a video that goes over basic starting points for EQ for the standard rock instruments. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

Great point about the stock plugins. I came to Ableton Live 9 having built my abilities with other sequencers, bringing my 3rd-party plugins with me, and I could kick myself for how long it took me to realise how many fantastic effects and features were just sitting there under my (turned-up) nose. Everything stock looked grey and utilitarian to me, and I just ignored it in favour of other things with high price tags, which is ridiculous given that I got going in the first place with the simplest stock plugins and equipment. When I realised my mistake, I dedicated weeks to going back through everything, watching KZfaq videos about them, and I learned more than I had in years. Hopefully, with Live 10 nobody makes that error again, given that it's telegraphing the quality of its stock suite now. And of course, every sequencer has its own secret weapons. Seconded about Klanghelm, too - can't recommend them enough!

I goof things up, and really can't hide most times I goof something up. It's a hard thing to get used to, but I really had no choice a few years back. I had to figure out a new way of interacting with people so that they would let me acquire new skills and methods the only way I could: with practice. So now every little flub is not so mortifying to me. I usually want to rectify it as soon as possible though. 😁 It's like falling down.

Thanks for the video advice Warren! Soon, I will be uploading a KZfaq video on Rob Chapman and Rabea Massaad of Dorje and Chapman Guitars recorded with Rob Chapman’s permission at the Guitar Center in New York City. I used the iPhone 7 for video recording at 1080p/60fps while connected to the Zoom H4N Recorder for Audio Preamplification at 96kHz 24-bit stereo sound. The sound is awesome and clear. I could hear clear vocals and clear guitar tones from the Chapman Electric Guitars. The video is clear as well but not perfect since the iPhone was recording the video automatically. I could see the difference in the white balance, autofocus, and EV levels but the sound recording made a big difference since the iPhone builtin microphones are not studio quality. Cheers, Flood!

All KZfaq notifications has stopped working for me. Stock plug-ins. I seems to me that plug-ins aren't going to make you a more skilled mixer. When you can make great mixes with stock plug-ins then you will have the skills and the ears to utilize the sometimes subtle improvements of 3rd party plug-ins. On a side note, from what I've read DAW makers know that sometimes what they offer in the package is what sells the DAW over another. So, DAW makers generally offer pretty high quality stuff nowadays.

My favourite plugins modelled on hardware from waves are seriously resource intensive and force me to work in different ways to get from A to B. I would love to be able to drop an active instance of scheps 73 freely on as many tracks as i like. But i can usually load about 5 instances before noticing trouble on the horizon... However with stock plugins i can load so many instances that i don't even need to think about it. This is where bus channels for certain things and sometimes bouncing midi to audio has come into play in my case. :)

Hi Warren, thank you for this video. I have become overwhelmed by the vast amount of plug-ins that promise to help make my mixes more "professional." . The stock "Reaper" plug-ins have been my staple and I have also added the Focusrite Eq and Comp plugins that came with my Focusrite 2i2. I also just found the forum in PLAPS that has helped me make some sense of the sea of plug-ins.

It's like asking, should you use a particular type of phone to make calls. Use whatever is available that gets the job done. I never use stock plugins only because I use several DAWs and I'd rather use one type of eq, comp, limiter, etc., in all my projects regardless of the DAW. I can afford it, so I use paid plugins, but for budget-conscious individuals that aren't fortunate enough to afford much, free ones are also a good option for the same reason.

Love the points being made in this video. On the subject of experimenting - and I'm sure you've answered this many times before - how much would you experiment in the engineering stage? Say you had a band session coming up, and had a technique you were wanting to try; would you try that technique in the session, or save it for when you can bring in a drummer or whatever to experiment in your off time?

reverb or delay WILL affect the way the singer sings and that's the point...their voice will likely sound clearer to them and more inspiring and likely lead them to sing better, plus the final mix is going to have reverb so they should sing in a way that makes the reverb sound good. If you're singing in a genre that is going to use a LOT of auto-tune on the vocals, it may be good to hear how the pitch correction will affect your vocals as you record... kind of like mixing INTO your bus compressor and not just slapping it one to what you think is your finished mix

Thank you so much for making such awesome videos! It is really inspiring. Sometimes I get a bit lost in the world of mixing with plugins and technic. It is good to go back to the basics with a mix. It is very tempting to load so many plugins on one track but in the end it doesn't sound any good at all. Than I disable them all and start from scratch again. Any tips to prevent overdoing plugins on a group bus or a single track?

Hi Martijin, I agree 100%! We've all been guilty of that! The biggest issue for me is not how many plug ins, but how drastic each move is. By that I'm suggesting that if you were to boost a huge amount, then cut similar frequencies etc several times you might be best just pulling everything off and seeing what you have without so many moves. I hop that helps?

To be honest... It really depends on a song to song basis and on personal emotions. Back in the day I heard some super badly recorded song from Frank Marino wich I listened when I went thru some hard times. For me that song will always be welcomed regardless on fidelity. Music is very subjective subject.

A great song is a great song! So technically the recording 'quality' shouldn't matter. However a terribly recording could be detrimental, so our job is to capture a preference in the best way we can!

Was always under the impression stock plus use less CPU. And many are just as good, if not better than some third party stuff. I could roughly narrow it down to logic's stock comp and eq on almost everything, fab filter for specific surgical stuff, waves non-endorsement for clean, waves endorsed CLA/SSL/Pultec/etc for colour. There's obviously way more to that, but isn't there always lol.

Also does different DAW have different stock plugins?

WARREN ! Amazing as usual. Question. Your thoughts on Event brand bi amplified near field monitors? also. Maybe you could do a decent length video on reel to reel sound on sound old school tape delay. And the people that invented the concept and used it early on with rockabilly and sun records , how it’s used as far as explaining the signal chain and hook up As well as the pros and cons Also digital delay VS analogue pros and cons diff And maybe then use it in your studio on some mixes to add context for usage Don’t forget the major influence reggae dub in the early to late 1970’s with their usage of tape Delay dubbing effect I don’t find there are many good examples of a true documentary level video of the history and usage You and Pensado need to get a video together also !

Hi Warren. Do you use the something like the Waves WLM Plus when you're mixing the audio for your videos to get it at youtube's standard loudness level? Do you have any preferred settings or even presets you could share? Also, could you do something like a "top 5 session management tips" or a video on how to keep up your studio skills when you're not working? I've just got an internship in a recording studio after not working for a while, and it's painful to realise how out of practice I am!

Yes you should use stock as much as possible unless it's free plug-ins. People double and triple on their plugs. What if you did that with your wife, neglecting the original? You saw Grahams iPhone recording? So cool. If you use the phone mic you don't even need a home to do recordings. Upload it to iTunes so you need a bank account and a phone to have a business running. Internet on McDonalds. No rent so the total expenses are a burger now and then. Grahams bass in Garageband was freaking awesome and it's possible to bend those strings.

I find that about 3 fab filter plugins can slow my system down as much as an entire mix full of logic plugins...and it sucks because they are so powerful and flexible. Pro Q-3 is great, but am I really lacking anything with logic's EQ (except the dynamic compression)...for simple tasks, I find it easiest to go for what I know
