Yep! The only thing I haven't figured out is how to flip the polarity within GA itself. Currently I have to flip it in the mixer channel.

@@jazzdude7014 Count me in as one of those users who didn’t use it enough. I think that’s about to change though

Thanks for watching, I hope it works well for you!

@@AlterSoundsPH Thanks for watching!

@@maxbiermann I’ll post the channel preset for it later on

@@SpradingalingMixingThings thanks a lot!!!! And bye the way what a cool weird song that is 😃

Thank you for putting this song out there for us to play with! It’s a great song to work on and I had a lot of fun with this session. Keep me posted on the new stuff and hopefully I can do another one of these in the future. Happy writing!

You're very welcome. Happy mixing!

Thank you for watching!

I didn't have any beer at home 😭but I'll make sure I have some for the next stream haha. Thanks for checking it out and hurry up and make some more music! Cheers!

I just wanted to use the second ribbon mic, hahaha. I had done the mono kit mic with the first ribbon a while back and wanted to do it again, and I didn't have a matching pair of mics to get a true stereo setup going so M/S made the most sense to me.

Absolutely!

Do you happen to know the difference between Bass XXL and Base XL? Is one just an upgrade from the other or do they each serve a specific purpose?

I appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching

Thanks! I’ve got some ideas to push it a little further, but without redoing anything or doing some major editing this is about as good as it gets. Vocals definitely need to come up and bass needs to go down quite a bit. Maybe I should do a third stream for revisions and to finish it up?

Yeah, if I were the engineer/producer on the session then I would have tried to do quite a few things differently. The guitars in particular are really dark and mushy and a DI for each would have been a huge help. It's all fine enough for what it is and we can still make it sounding pretty good with some work.

Right?! I love learning from the big time engineers, but they’re working on stuff that has been pretty meticulously recorded in a very controlled environment. A lot of my experience is working with audio that’s been recorded with no budget by the people in the band in their home studio and then they hire me to make it listenable.

Yo, good to see you too!

It's been a while since I've looked at this session, but I believe there are two main rhythm tracks, then two more playing higher octave chords to make the main rhythm nice and thick, but also balanced in the stereo image. Then the others are more leady or accent bits that are doubled and harmonized in spots, also done for thickness and stereo balance. You don't need to do it this way - listen to A Perfect Circle's first two records or Metallica's Load in headphones and you'll hear one guitar part on the left and the other part on the right - but it's pretty common to double up and layer most everything. Thanks for watching! Alex

Greetings from the USA! Which version of Cubase are you running? If you're on version 11 or older then the MIDI Remote manager had not been introduced yet.

​@@SpradingalingMixingThings thanks for your answer. I have Cubase 10.5.

I downloaded and opened up the template from here: forums.steinberg.net/t/sharing-my-128-custom-color-set/160120 Then I went to the Project Colors setup and set “save current set as default” so that I can load it up again easily

Thanks mate ✌️

@ Cheers!

They make good stuff! I think I got what I have through a promo deal with all the izotope stuff I’ve bought. The comprexxor and 670 wind up getting a lot of use

Of course, open the mixconsole and at the top right corner there’s the button to open the left zone. At the bottom of the visibility tab you should see the option to switch between channels and zones. Select Zones and then you can lock tracks to the the left or right side in the mixer window. Alex

@@SpradingalingMixingThings thanks mate 😉

I bought the Everything Bundle from vrmusicgroup.com

Thanks! It’s been too long

I did some reading on their site and it’s adding harmonics like RBass. It shouldn’t eat up more headroom, though, they should be roughly the same

Take original signal, low passes it at the frequency you set (80Hz is a good starting point), saturate it, then high pass the saturated signal to remove the original bass, and add that back with the original full signal - all these bass enchacers work like this.

Thanks for watching! My PC isn’t a monster like some people have. The CPU is an intel Xeon 3.5ghz processor with 8 cores I think. I do run my buffer size at the highest setting to take some load off it, too. Focusrite has some Windows settings recommendations on their site to optimize your DAW for the PC. That should hopefully help a little bit. Alex

Ah dammit, I rarely use it and completely forgot I had it, haha.

Thanks for watching! The drums had that 4 on the floor beat, so I kind of leaned into making it sound more dancey and pop-country. After listening back in the car, I would definitely turn the kick down a little

@@SpradingalingMixingThings even if you turn the kick down a bit I definitely agree way more with your mixing approach. Would have tried the same. Like it, fits the song better

🤣🤣

They listened to the angry mob with pitchforks and guillotines, hahaha. It really was in everyone’s best interest that they reverse course like this. If you follow Chris Selim, he suggested an olive branch to reestablish trust between them and us customers: get rid of WUP and let perpetual license holders update their products for free. That would certainly bring me back
