I do most of the time. Like one for the “Chh” & “Shhh” area and another for the “T” & “S” areas. I like to do manual clip gain as well. It lets me do a lot more with the EQ later on that way. I know I have a video somewhere on KZfaq about using the two Dessers and another one somewhere on the clip gain technique. Been doing KZfaq for too many years & I don’t always know where all the videos are.😅

Well, it’s better to get a good signal going in and good mic placement to try to avoid it. I also do another technique where I reduce the clip gain on those sibilant areas. I know I have a video on KZfaq somewhere about that lol. But a De-Esser can be a good safety net, so it’s good to understand how they work.

You’re welcome!

I think it works exactly as great as all the previous version, excpets this one has a harmony player built in. It's the most advanced version to date for sure.

Hell yeah!

Glad to hear the info has been useful! 🙏🏼

I appreciate that 🙏🏼

You got it. You can add an EQ afterwards too, to clean up more.

I appreciate that. We're doing good. How have you been?

@@realisticproductionsLLC I'm doing good bro

Glad to hear!

Every situation & person is different. But I would start by neogiating an equal share. So if two people are involved 50/50. 3 people 33/33/33. 4 people 25/25/25/25. etc. That doesn't work in every scenario, but it's at least a starting point that makes sense.

I appreciate that a ton 🙏🏼

🙏🏼

That's a good suggestion. I can do that!

What type of distortion are you hearing during playback? Is it the whole session that sounds messed up or just that indvidual track? The reason why I ask, is because if it's the whole session I may have a hack for it. It's a weird one but it works lol. When the whole session distorts, go the "Playback Engine" change the buffer size hit "ok" & then change the buffer size back. For some reason that works lol. Also, if you're dealing with problems on indvidual tracks, have you changed your session to "Low Latency Monitoring"

@@realisticproductionsLLC The whole session or any playback, if I go into say KZfaq and play anything it crackles and pops or even sound test in the windows settings, your advice is definitely something I could try in session, once I noticed the issue I tried all the optimization settings uad recommendeds, changing bio’s settings, buffer size, my drivers are up to date, I just purchased the Apollo twin x usb earlier this week

I appreciate that man 🙏🏼

I have logic pro, but it's been quite a while since I've had to use it. I don't think I use it enough anymore to be confident to make a video on how to use it right now though lol. I bet there's a handful of other channels that make videos using Logic Pro. Like searching for "logic pro busses" probably brings up a ton of videos.

@@realisticproductionsLLC type shit i fw the way you teach thoguh if i could watch you instead of them i would but i respect it

I feel you. I appreciate you.

I'm telling you this one has saved me so much time lol! 😅 Glad to hear you found it useful too! 🙏🏼

Thank you for letting me know! Glad the info was useful. 🙏🏼

Log into your UA account on their website & then go to the Auto-Tune product page on their site & you will see price options for upgrading from a previous UA version or buying it out right for the first time.

Thank you!

Thank you!

You're welcome! Glad it popped up on your feed, because I remember you commented on a previous video that you were looking forward to this one!

I appreciate that. My handle on there is Realistic_Pro I wasn't able to do "Realistic Productions" like my other socials because it was too many characters for Twitter I guess lol.

Yeah, that's true some of them do have the D-Sub connection. But there's a lot of them that do require soldering. I've had to solder enough of them myself. Either way though, I think aside from that technical point, I feel the info was still pretty useful throughout the video. Especially since a TT patch bay was only mentioned in brief passing as extra information & the focus of the video was a 1/4" patch bay & how to set one up.

But this is literally a review on the UAD version... Like the whole video is based on the UAD version lol.

Not disagreeing but when comparing the two im just stating the summary with my agreement

I appreciate that. Glad the info is useful!

🙏🏼

I appreciate that! She's doing much better. Thank you for asking! How are you?

@@realisticproductionsLLC I'm doing great bro another day to be greater than I was yesterday

@@realisticproductionsLLC an Blessings on Blessings for Moms

Hell yeah! I feel you!

I appreciate that 🙏🏼

If you're trying to get the analog sound on the overall mix, I would go for an analog bus compressor or analog mix summer (like the Neve Orbit.) Now if you're looking for that sound on your recordings like vocals & such, your best bet is to grab something that will process it before it ever hits your DAW. I wouldn't do an external mixer, but rather just a sold mic pre. You'll get more bang for your buck when it comes to quality. The Warm Audio 273 Neve clone is something I've used for years. It's only two channels; however, since it's just dedicated to being a pre-amp & EQ for two channels & nothing more, it does those two things really well.

Think I’m going to go for bus compressor.💯

I’ve been really happy with the results and the quality of the analog bus compressor I bought four years ago. I’ve used it on every single mix and master since.

Glad you think so!

I also learned ALOT about my headphones lol..

ALSO, I thought you didn't have to mix at super loud volumes anyway?

Thanks for letting me know! I've been trying to show behind the scenes & more of the ups & downs of the music industry. Instead of all of the glamour.

I do; however, my mains are the Focal Twins that are 3-way monitors with some pretty powerful low-end. Low end is something you feel more than you hear, so it does not take much volume for the bass to travel to the neighbors connecting apartment.

Well, technically just reducing to 16 bit is going to reduce the quality. But if your session was in 24 bit and you reduced it to 16 bit, rather than starting your session in 16 bit and keeping it at 16 bit the whole time, won’t ruin the quality. Actually it may help the quality, because you’ll get better quality recordings. I always suggest to actually record at 32 bit float, because that extra 8 bit of headroom can really help you avoid clipping digitally while you’re recording. Same with sample rendering at 32 bit. That headroom gives a lot of safety net. So reducing later down to 16 bit will just reduce the bit quality and lower the headroom, but all of the clarity that you were able to capture during the recording process at 32 bit, will still appear in that 16 bit copy.
