  • If there is one way to make your rough mix sound immediately better, it's using a mix bus. The mix bus is a way to group and process your tracks-in this case your whole mix. Making a big picture adjustment to the entire song before you even start mixing immediately elevates your rough mix-you can ballpark a vibe and give it the glue it needs to start sounding like a finished project.
    In this video, mixing & mastering engineer Mario Borgatta takes you through a track he's mixing called "OVER IT!" by koby, and demonstrates how he sets up a mix bus in Pro Tools, along with some of his favorite plugins and outboard gear for getting the job done. That said, everything he demonstrates can be achieved with the software and gear that you are most comfortable with.

    Hi Mario, any thoughts on how you can achieve these same results when you are required to deliver/work in stems where the sum of the stems needs to be identical to the full mix? Thanks

    Never heard of prime studios plugins until this - very interesting, having a "trim" plugin with character. Too bad that one is no longer available - I think its a fantastic idea.
    There are tons of saturators out there, but a trim plugin for mastering designed specifically for gain staging the chain (replete with subtle non linearities or a simulated tube amp stage for example) is a great idea for a plugin
    I am very interested in plugins which take advantage of Acustica Audio's sampling technology - and just whenIi thought I knew of them all, viola! Prime studios is revelated to me.
    Interesting stuff indeed

    I think you need to to set the HP Sidechain Filter on the bottom panel to select a frequency.

    • @MarioBorgatta
      @MarioBorgatta Год назад

      So on the shadow hills it is automatically set to 91 hz. So all you have to do is turn on the SC. You are able to then move it to any frequency after if you’d like. I keep mine at 91 fairly often.

    Hi Mario, do you prefer to set ut your mix bus before you start mixing or at the end of the mix?

    • @MarioBorgatta
      @MarioBorgatta Год назад +2

      I’ll set up some of it. Probably about the first half of it in the beginning. Then tweak it as I get closer to the end of the mix.

    Avoid stereo imaging on the whole mix bro because you may cancel out the sub/bass its better to use m/s eq or comp or saturation just a good advise of 20 yeara of audio experience

    • @MarioBorgatta
      @MarioBorgatta Год назад +1

      You won’t run into this same issue with the Fusion. The S1 is just for giving people and idea of what is going on. Also used very lightly

    • @Truth565
      @Truth565 Год назад

      Leapwing Stageone is probably the best plugin option to supplement what Fusion does. It doesn’t hollow out mid like the S1, it just adds information to the sides.

    Please don't stereo widen your whole mix guys with one of those plugins. There's better ways of getting that width with proper panning and placement of sounds, etc, etc. You can potentially end up with a weak sounding mix that doesn't translate well on big system, especially more clubby type music on a mono club system. Will sound great on headphones but I try and avoid it as much as possible (Yes I do speak from experience and did this a lot in the past)
