Hey, Pete! This is the fist video I've ever watched of yours and I must say this is really a good one! (Just ended watching one or two more, but this was the first one) I've been following guys like Joe Gilder, Graham Cochrane, Dave Pensado and more for quite some time, and you definitely belong to that class of instructors, of course with your little twist. Just wanted to congratulate you for the enlightment you're providing us here!
Svm777 First of all I just want to say welcome and I'm glad you found my content! Thanks for watching 😊 Also, thank you ever so much for the kind words. Joe and Graham are good pals of mine and I'll never refuse being lumped into the same bowl as Dave Pensado so I really do appreciate it! Please don't hesitate to give me a shout if there's anything I can do for you. Cheers! 🤙🏻😁
Just discovered your channel this week. I have to say you use the best music to demonstrate your concepts. So many RUclips mixing tutorials force you to listen to terrible songs.
Fastest Attack : 0,02ms -> amazing... I know my comment won't change the world, but they could invert those attack & release knobs to remove the confusion! Thanks Pete, great vid as usual, have a good week-end!
The waves plugins seem to me a trap. Most of them cost very expensive and for me it does not work so well. In most cases they add a bit of "digital sound on the high frequency " which is not ok. If you mix voices that have been recorded with cheap microphones, you already have digital on high frequencies and surely do not want to add them from plugins. All Love for UAD, Plugin Alliance, Acustica Audio! What do you think, do you think my theory is correct?
Universal TV I’d say use whatever you like the sound of ✌🏼😁 The only rule of audio is “if it sounds good it is good”. If certain plugins sound better to you than others, then rock those! 🙌🏼 - Pete
The way I came up with to remember the "backwards" Attack & Release knobs is that they are labeled 1 to 7. Think of the 7 as 70 miles per hour. Almost all other compressors are the opposite: turning the Attack & Release knobs clockwise is slower. But with the 1176, clockwise is faster.
Hi Pete, I love your vids.. I also have a question. I'm just starting to using Studio One 3 because of the integration with console 1. I know you gonna love this question. How do I color my Mixer to look like yours. I click the bottom and I can change the color of the bottom track title. but it does not change the color of the fader block. or what ever you would call it. Also I love your mix on this track. Thanks Rhett...
Hi there, to the far left of the Mixer you will see a little wrench icon, click that for the Mixer options, you can set the Mixer so that the entire strip is coloured
Hey why did you duplicate the harmony track and pan them different ways? Then it just goes back to mono. Unless you did the doubling trick of moving one of the tracks slightly forwards and didn't mention it?
Michael L. It's absolutely fantastic, Michael. Life changing. I don't see it as a new trend. PComp has been used for decades and is on just about all of your (and my) favorite records. All the Masters like Andrew Scheps, CLA, and Michael Brauer use it religiously. Matter of fact I'll make a video about it soon so you can check it out :)
deanc2000 Plugins are simply tools... some sessions have more than others. I sometimes like to have multiple EQ’s or compressors do less heavy lifting by using more than one at times. For example: some plugins do what I call ‘crap out or fart out’. When they’re pushed hard they collapse and react differently to hardware. So I find it can be beneficial to, for example, use serial compression. If I’m looking to compress something 4db, I’ll have 2 comps compress 2db in series so it’s more natural sounding. The added benefit of that too is you can use different comps as color boxes that give different attitude to a source. I choose specific compressors for the color and movement they add to a source. All compressors compress. But many add color and vibe and movement to the track that others do not. Hope that makes sense ✌🏼😎❤️ - Pete
hello, please use this compressor on your videos! ;) the musics way louder then your voice, has me constantly jumping on the volume control or squinting to hear what youre saying. im guessing you dont watch them which no one does. wierd how we finish stuff and then dont check how they came out. i heard me on spotify the other day and ive been wondering if the mix struggle is worth it considering theyre just gonna chop it up like that. and its not like anyones buying hd, let alone listening to it. a couple hipsters will buy your vinyl if you can afford to press it up... ppl dont even have cd players anymore...sob.
Thanks! TBH I can't remember if I used my template or if I just built in my busses, routing and effects on the fly (S1 lets me do it so fast compared to Pro Tools its not always necessary). Why, whats up? Question on something?

Hey- these guys are all great, though one more guy you should definitely check out is warren huart’s channel, produce like a pro.

These mix 101 vids are super helpful. Thank you
Eliot Walsh Super happy to hear they're helping you! Got 2 more on the way soon! 😊👍
Loving the "Mix 101" series, Pete... Thumbs up!!!!
Thanks a lot, Carlos! Lots more on the way!
That DAW design looks beautiful!
Jesse Fishman Glad you dig it! Studio One v3.5 👊🏼😎❤️
Fastest Attack : 0,02ms -> amazing...

Thanks Pete, great vid as usual, have a good week-end!
Thanks David! (and yes thats suuuuuuuuper fast, haha)
A big thank you on explaining the attack and release settings.
Reginator My pleasure! :-)
You do an amazing job at teaching the fundamentals behind concepts like compression. Thank you!!
Cydonia Mars Thanks for the kind words, brother!!! 🙏🏼😁❤️
Thank you for the killer content man!
love your stuff buddy, first time seeing the 1176 in full action - thanks
currently working at a studio with a lot of these hardware units, finally starting to understand how to really use them. Sub!
Hey thanks so much for all of your videos. It's really great stuff. Super helpful
My pleasure! Thanks for watching! :-)
Pete i really do appreciate your Vids, Watched tons but have never said thanks,, Thankyou!
akoustixx Thanks for the kind words! Really glad you like the vids :-)

All of your videos are great , thanks a lot !
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! :-)
Great Tips again, Pete Thanks!
Do you only use Snare in pardrums, or Kick too?
Pete,thanks for the info in the Vid.I have been doing sound for ten years,but only now have you clarified the 1 -7 speed on the 1176.Peace and love.
Lameck Chanda Cheers, Lameck! Glad I could help 🤙😊
What do you think of the "fat channel" included in Studio One? There is a 1176 clone
I been trying to understand compressors and what this plugin do ,you explained what it does and what to listen for and I herd it ,thanks
Dont like the sound on the CLA. UAD sounds great. I just ordered the Warm Audio Hardware box. Do you have any experience with that one?
Thank you Sir, very helpful!
Cleveland Harrison 👊🏼😎
Great and thorough stuff! thanks stay safe.

Great Channel, the examples just sound amazing, you have a new subscriber sir!
Thanks Pete very very clear and helpful
Glad it helped! :-)
Great video. You didn't talk about the "all buttons in" trick.
Thank a lot man!
another great video.thank.you.so.mutch.very very help.full.

Thanks again, It worked.
Thanks for answering and beating me to it ;-)
Really glad to hear you're enjoying the vids! And apologies for the delayed response... Yes, thats exactly how you do that in the console view :-)
Great video. Thank you,dude.
Hey why did you duplicate the harmony track and pan them different ways? Then it just goes back to mono. Unless you did the doubling trick of moving one of the tracks slightly forwards and didn't mention it?
Joel Waddell Hey Joel. Yeah, one is nudged. Didn't mention it. Good spot! 😊
Thank You
Good demo of the release knob on drums! I'm thinking about referring to it as the "In your face" knob. ;)
Dan Updegraff Love it! It sure does make a difference :)
Is parallel compression really that useful, or is it just the newest trend in mixing? I've used it and I'm on the fence with it.
Michael L. It's absolutely fantastic, Michael. Life changing. I don't see it as a new trend. PComp has been used for decades and is on just about all of your (and my) favorite records.

thank u good review ..

Why so many plugins on your tracks? You must love the UAD system with the extra CPU power.

Man...brainworx stuff is to expensive...and not worth it
good video Pete, did you mix this song using your S1 mix template?
Thanks! TBH I can't remember if I used my template or if I just built in my busses, routing and effects on the fly (S1 lets me do it so fast compared to Pro Tools its not always necessary). Why, whats up? Question on something?
