You're interesting af it's true thanks dan

He keeps you interested. But I don't think Dan has anything to do on how interesting you are. :-)

settle down

Not just mixing. That applies to almost any skill training, whether it's a computer skill, art, sport or language.

Damn straight. What sounds good VS what we get taught is a very different thing. It doesn't matter how you get there, it's the end result that matters. Break every rule and bypass all you know to make something sound good. I've had so little time in my life to enjoy making music but this is something I love by. Your ears are the best tool you have, not someone else's.

@@UncleMarty there's always some rules to go by if you're looking for a certain sound/outcome.

@@225maine For sure. I guess my point is that rules are guidelines and my post was the same. Nothing in the world of audio should be set in stone if what you make is what you wanted to make. Obviously smashing a compressor and maximizer too hard for most genres doesn't work but does work great for stuff like dubstep, but doing it to classical doesn't work at all. I guess it's all about what sound you want as music and audio is very subjective to many things :)

@@UncleMarty that's true..I completely agree with that! Go with the sound that you want 💪💪💯

Very good🙏🏿

everybody knows the artistic name of Dan is Darude

At literally 6x the price, it better be...

It gets addictive - I sometimes have to stop and ask myself if a particular band needs to be dynamic!

what's the difference between dynamic EQ and MB ?

@@Renaxelo just eq vs compression there isn’t really a ‘difference’ per say as they’re just reducing volume relative to an input signal, though I think it speaks volumes that Pro-Q doesn’t have attack, release, knee settings etc, it would practically make Pro-MB obsolete if it did

Whilst I’m on a rant, in relation to Pro-MB, why is it in percentages as opposed to milliseconds? I can appreciate having both, but just percentages makes no sense to me... My attack being 17% is futile information, 17% of what?

@@jackflynn-oakley1937 As far as i understand, it was wisely considered by FF, and actually makes lot of sense. Why ? Well, my comprehension is that Pro-MB intelligently adapts the attack time to your signal (it's "content aware" and/or "intelligent" if you will), and it's doing that amazing thing behind the scene while still letting you have some control on the attack time. That's neat imo. IE: If you set 17% attack on Pro-MB, it's NOT gonna result in the exact same millisecondes amount each time you set it up that way. That's why in that context, it does make a lot of sense to speak % instead of milliseconds. Very wise choice imo. In a similar fashion, when you switch on the "quick attack" button on Waves last SSL emulation, it does set up a different quickish attack time automatically, depending of what you are feeding the plugin with. It's "content aware" and/or "intelligent" as well. That's well done i must say, this is sounding good. BUT it doesn't let you have that extra way of controlling what it does to your signal, like Pro-MB does. (It's Waves SSL Eve2 or something like that. I suggest you check out Dan Worrall's last video about it, even if you don't use Waves at all. I myself most likely won't buy any Waves product anymore or even bother trying them, but this video was still a very nice and informative experience for me). Go for it! Dan Worrall is the King of plugin reviews (and more!). There is absolutely not questioning about that fact anywhere, so far. His videos speak for him. You have to be quite interested about audio engineering for fully appreciating his work, but i'm sure you are :)

i think that would cost some radio stations out there much less then the big racks they driven

If you look up the definition of the word "concise" in the dictionary it links you to Dan Worrall's KZfaq channel. No waste of words, nothing superfluous or unnecessary. The man is gold.

That sounds like you're killing the vocal?

@@ostrol1590 a lot of modern vocals are heavily compressed or limited

@@jdnd2023 20db GR tho? Maybe parallel?

@@ostrol1590 just try it by yourself and comeback to me

Depends on the genre and track, I guess. What kind of music are we talking about? Psytrance, rock or folk ?😊
