Jut discovered your channel and of course, SUBSCRIBED! VERY helpful...also very reassuring because I see you incorporate many things that I usually do in my mixes (the 400 Hz dip, the Exciter, etc.), I graduated from Berklee's MP&E program back when it was all done to TAPE and have had many jobs in studios but especially at home for many years now, I had the emagic PLATINUM Logic PC version and am aware that I have been using the prodigal TIP of the iceberg regarding Logic's capabilities. Right now I am upgrading to ATMOS and am looking forward to WORKING as a PRO in Logic, I have a SUPERCHARGED Mac Mini, a MOTU 828es and very few bits of gear but hey, they are TOP NOTCH...Cheers!

Great vid. Many thanks, Chris. Do you have anything on stereo width and how to deal with correlation issues and their relative importance in the mix?

great move to open up this track up it was a bit trudgy sounding which came with the groove and feel needed something to bring it to life - very useful advise

great explanation of this tip! personally, I don't like to widen at the final buss. For my ears, it takes impact away from the kick and snare. I would prefer to widen only the guitar submix. I have been using Logic since 2000, and I just "discovered" this shortcut: Normalize Region/Cell Gain OMG what a time saver!!!! I never tried it because I thought it would only normalize to 100%, but it is much more variable than that. Keep up the excellent channel.

As a suggestion for a future video, it would be cool to talk about different ways to set-up/play poly rythyms in logic using basic quantizing, stock plugins, etc.

Listening on Mac Mini with Sony MDR-7506 headphones out of my audio interface and honestly I can't hear any difference whatsoever with the direction mixer. The console EQ made a big difference at the end, but the stereo width did nothing on my end.

Somehow must be in mono - there's a big difference

Great video, as usual. Is there any reason you didn’t use the Linear Phase EQ on the mix bus instead of the Channel EQ? Thanks!

You know what’s really insane about this is just that you mention the direction mixer and how it can boost stereo and it is the true answer to wider range vs people who duplicate a track and pan left and right only. That does take the sound out of the center which is still important but it doesn’t actually make it louder when you pan the knob left or right , it just sets the direction of the existing sound

@DavidRavenMoon 2 жыл бұрын

If you duplicate a track and pan it hard left and right it’s the same as one track centered.

@Bittamin 2 жыл бұрын

@@DavidRavenMoon exactly! But I see a ton of KZfaq tutorial producers that show that as a tip! A trick I’ve done is take 3 tracks, the two I pan left and right I will EQ out all the low end and the center I take the high end out, and that does create an interesting effect in sound, but it doesn’t make anything wider, just more dynamic

Reducing the transients in the channel linking section of Pro L2 will also significantly reduce the size of the stereo field. Something else to make sure you aren’t doing in the end that’s shrinking the size of the mix. I think default is 80% and I don’t move it lol.

@DavidRavenMoon 2 жыл бұрын

With headphones I don’t hear anything different, except maybe the bass sounding reduced. The console EQ is noticeable.

Can You tell something more about multi compression on sub crash?

@FLH3official 2 жыл бұрын

Good video, thank you. Why don't use the MS processing featured in the direction mixer in place of the side EQ? My feeling about widening tricks: It's great, I sure and I use that too but be aware that there will be no more width in the mix if everything is widen. Stereo needs mono, wide things need narrower ones. Aside posible phase issues if our hand is too heavy on such processing. As it's said in medecine "the poison is in the dosage" 😉
