    To the young mixing engineers who feel overwhelm bout the number of plugins out there, just remember you can do a perfectly fine mix with 2 plugins that are already in your DAW. An EQ and a compressor.
    Matter of fact, sometimes you dont even need those plugins if your signal was recorded in a great studio/room. You can EQ without a plugin simply by using microphone techniques like, stepping away from the mic during a loud section... You can compress without a compressor using volume automation.
    Your mix quality is dependent on
    - The artist recording skills and performance 50%
    - Instrument arrangement. Panning, volume, cut edit 40%
    - Your plugins 10%
    Try do most things manually so you dont use too many plugins that will take away processing power.
    Cheers.

    Also for the span to those whom may not know, if you click the down routing arrow and select "mid-side" it'll also show the side information just change the "underlay color" so it shows up! I just figured this out but unfortunately FL doesn't offer a mid side eq so be careful with how you're eq out low side information.

    Hi,
    Once again, great vid, full of value =)
    I already purchased the pro version of Youlean Loudness Meter using your code from a previous video.
    I'm eager to try the newer plugins you showed us there.
    Thanks for this again, cheers!
