Thanks for the feedback, @GeorgiNikolov-v7i! Ruby was definitely on fire in that dance track-must have had an extra shot of espresso! 😄 As for the gain staging, I might have been a bit too enthusiastic. It’s all part of the fun, right? Appreciate the keen ear and the notes!

Thanks for the suggestion, @NzeJoseph-kp1sn! A video on achieving a big wide master sounds like a great idea. I’ll definitely consider making one soon. Stay tuned! 🎛🎚

@vladpetrovsky8674 Thanks for the comment! True, multiband compressors can mess with phase, but when used wisely, they’re like a master chef adding just the right spice to a dish. Careful balance is key-so don’t worry, the mix will still taste delicious! 😉🎛

@kingech_B15 Why do people argue over sounds? Well, it’s like debating whether to use a paintbrush or a spray can-both can create masterpieces, but the fun is in the process! 🎨 Whether it's the smooth warmth of the VT5 or the digital vibe of Ruby2, it's all about the art of the ears! 😉🎧

For mastering, an excellent analog de-esser is the SPL DeS Dual Band De-Esser, which is transparent and effective. The Weiss DS1-MK3 (though digital) is another mastering favorite for precise and transparent de-essing. Thanks for checking out the video!

​@boogiesnail no thank you for the advice

@Limit5482, I feel you! It’s all part of the process with some clients, but as long as they’re bringing in the work, it's worth the ride. Charging for those bigger changes is definitely the right move-gotta keep things fair for everyone! 💪😄

🙏🤝

Super 👍🏻

Hey! Both are top-notch but serve different purposes. The Elysia Alpha is super clean, precise, and punchy - great for tight, modern hip hop/pop mixes where you need transparency and control. The DW Fearn VT-7, on the other hand, has a beautiful tube warmth and musical vibe, perfect for adding depth and character. If you want a more polished and detailed sound, go with the Alpha. If you're after warmth and vibe, the VT-7 is your guy. Hope this helps!

@@boogiesnail PERFECTLY described. Hard to get opinions from people that haven’t used both. Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's true that hardware often brings a warmth and fullness that's hard to replicate with plugins, especially in the low end. That said, with careful tweaking, plugins can also achieve great results-it's all about knowing how to use them effectively. Every tool has its place, and sometimes it’s just a matter of what suits the mix best. Appreciate the discussion!

Welcome 🙏🏻🤝

Absolutely! It's like comparing a flashlight to the sun. Who knew our little devices could reveal such epic battles? 😂🌞📱

Hey! Thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear you're not happy with the results. I used the Plugin Alliance version with oversampling to avoid aliasing. The difference you're hearing could be due to how the plugin emulates the hardware. Thanks again for your input!

@@boogiesnail did you over sample the software for this video or no? Genuinely curious.

@@dw543 Yes, I did use oversampling for the software in this video to avoid aliasing. Thanks for asking!

Haha, I wish I had Robert De Niro's skills! But don't worry, it's just me here, mastering with SSL plugins. If he shows up, I'll let him know you're a fan! 😄🎛

Thank you! 🙏🙌🤝

Thank you my beloved friend and drummer 🥁🙌🤝

Thank you 🙏🏻 Appreciate it 🤝

Ah, the headphone dilemma! 🎧 Your mix is playing a game of 'telephone' with your headphones. The HD600s might be making it sound boomy and dull, while the MDR7506s are highlighting the harsh and shrill parts. So, which is it? Maybe a bit of both. Try referencing on more systems and find a balance. It's like trying to make everyone happy at a family dinner-tricky but doable! 🍽 Thanks for the comment, and happy mixing! 😄

Ah, the secret formula to mastering with Alpha! Thanks for the timestamps, looks like you've got the Alpha GPS! 🚀 😉🤝

@@boogiesnail Hardware makes the sound better, more detail in mids, better and punchier bass.. but i can achieve this with much less expensive gear. It`s amazing compressor tho, if you can afford it 💯💯

@@DJURBANBG Totally get it! Hardware does add that special something-better mids, punchier bass. But yeah, you can get great results with cheaper gear too. It’s like driving a Ferrari vs. a Honda-both get you there, but one feels extra fancy. 😄 Glad you liked the compressor! If only we could all afford a rack full of these! 🙏

Thanks for watching! You know, RUclips audio quality is like trying to taste gourmet food with a cold - sometimes it just doesn't do it justice! 😉 But don't worry, your ears aren't playing tricks on you; the Alpha compressor is still the king, even if RUclips tries to dethrone it! 👑🎧

Haha, I love your imagination! The Alpha compressor does have a magical touch, but I haven't seen it breakdance just yet. Maybe I need to tickle that 3rd knob a few more times! Thanks for the laugh!

You got it! NEWFANGLED _Punctuate is like the secret sauce. Elevate takes it to the next level! Glad you enjoyed the video. Keep rocking those transients!

The SONNOX is indeed a powerhouse! For real, it's tough to beat. But there are always contenders out there trying to challenge the throne. It's all about finding the right tool for your sound. Thanks for watching!

@@boogiesnail My findings are ,that the FAST Limiter has a very nice feature which is the Transient slider. It sounds extremely transparent ; and is super easy to set up. Would be interesting to read your findings on the FAST Limiter (focusrite) . The interface and sound is genius in my ears

Thank you so much for your kind words! The guitar player and I are the authors of this song. It exists in full version with drums and electric guitars, but this one is an acoustic version featuring acoustic guitar, bass, percussion, and my voice. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you 🙏🏻 very well 👍🏻🎯🎯🎯

Thanks for your comment! You're right-the BM waveform is great for a mastering compressor. The Fearn and Knif are also excellent, and a hands-on comparison would be ideal. Having the BM EQ, Compressor, and Limiter2 must give you great control over your sound. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you 🙏👍🤝

Thank you so much! I'm really glad the video made such a big difference for you and helped you understand what "glue" means in mastering compression. It's great to hear it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Looking forward to sharing more tips and insights with you. Stay tuned for more content, and feel free to ask any questions you might have. You're awesome!

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried the Maselec MA-2 by Relab, but it didn't quite fit my preferences and workflow. I appreciate the recommendation, though!

Thanks for your question! If your piano VST sounds too bright, here are some other VSTs you might like: 1. Pianoteq by Modartt - It lets you tweak the sound a lot. 2. Keyscape by Spectrasonics - This one has great, warm-sounding pianos. 3. The Grandeur by Native Instruments - It has a nice, balanced tone. For the deep sound when using the sustain pedal, try these tips: 1. EQ Adjustments - Use a low-cut filter to reduce the deep bass sound. 2. Velocity Curve - Adjust the sensitivity of your MIDI keyboard to get a more even sound. Hope this helps!

@@boogiesnail thanks for reply, i will try

@@onurgunduzer 👍

Thank you 🙏🏻 I will definitely check it 🤝

Excellent choice 👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I agree that mutual support and cooperation between leaders can make a significant impact. It’s essential to work together for the common good and ensure that past mistakes are not repeated. Integration and new programs can pave the way for a brighter future. Let's focus on positive progress and unity.

You're right, it can feel quite spacey without reverb. Reverb helps to add depth and a sense of space, but it's crucial to find the right balance to enhance the mix without overwhelming it. That's exactly what the video was all about. Thanks for watching!
