Why audio plugins sound 'flat' & How to fix FLAT ITB mixes || Is it really the tools or is it YOU?
My name is Paul Third and this week on mixing wednesday we are talking all about two things
1. Why plugins CAN sound flat, muddy, unclear, nasty and lack depth
2. Why your in the box mixes dont sound as '3D', open, clear and vibey compared to mixing through your analog hardware chain.
We are discussing gain staging plugins, aliasing, oversampling, subtractive eq, preamps, clean harmonics, mix bus processing, adding feel and taking the dullness from your tracks using high/ mid band enhancers before you have even touched a compressor plugin, equalizer, reverb, delay, saturation on the tracks.
This can be a good mixing tutorial for beginner sound engineers and hopefully act as an audio engineer 101 on understanding plugins better.
At the end of the video I also show you how I have shaped the rough mix using the methods and tools discussed to remove that 'digital flatness'
