It's all subjective. While, yes it can help with conpensating to acheive a good "balance". If you over do it, you can easily make everything sound way too similar and basically become brown paint. It's inperfections and little details in a mix that makes it shine. Also - mixing both on headphones + a great treated room with decent speakers is prefereable as they both magnify difference issues/problems in your mix. Becareful with plug ins that become bandages. You can rely on them too much and stunt your growth as an artist/mixing engineer. Even tho i disagreed with some points, great video! Keep up the good work :)
People keep saying this about this plugin but you could also say that about using an EQ, so I think it’s kind of silly. There’s tons of room to be creative with this.
Overdoing anything can ruin your mix, not just this plugin. Even excessive use of a compressor can negatively impact your mix. This is a fact that many artists and mixing engineers face due to the lack of access to perfectly treated rooms. However, this plugin offers opportunities for creativity. For example, you can apply parallel vocal compression without boosting the sibilances, and it can be used in various other ways.
If you think it's not possible to mix or master on headphones. Glenn Schick mixes and masters only on headphones., he doesn't use speakers (Justin Bieber, J. Cole, Future, etc).
Some time ago I agreed that it was impossible to mix on headphones and have a good balanced sound, but now everything has changed, VSX slate arrived so you don't have to spend on expensive acoustics and monitors, you said that mixing with headphones is not an option, but now it is ! It's better than expensive monitors!
It's a good complement to Bloom, I use both. Ozone Low-End makes sense too, Clarity and Stabilizer are also preeetty good. I really like Gulffoss, that's my next buy this year. All of them sound different, they are a "color palette". However, I wouldn't excuse an EQ from the chain: Smart:EQ 4 is my fav, although I use Pro-Q 3 and EQ8 sparingly for surgical things, and puig/kirchhoff/passive eq/etc for coloring... Obviously, plugins are secondary to the music you make, non of these plugins existed a few years ago and hits still were being made.
You're in the comments saying overusing any plugin is bad, and I agree with this. What I am saying though, is that I don't know if you're even able to recognize when something is overcooked. My proof is in the example you used in the first 10 seconds. The image shrunk, the impact was lessened, the front to back depth disappeared, shidddd even the sustain was killed. If you need help hearing this stuff, turn the volume all the way down in your headphones or speakers, low enough that if someone was tryna have a conversation with you while you're trying to listen, you'd tell them to shut up. When it's that quiet, your brain eventually gets used to that volume level (usually a 30-45 second adjustment period for your brain just attunes itself to this low level), and then it is way easier to hear what I'm talking about. This is EXACTLY why you shouldn't mix with your eyes!!!!!

I cannot accept that. to me mixing on headphones is x100 harder than mixing in an untreated room. lol
@@yeckxo Try HD 660 2's > Rupert Neve RNHP > Converter > Sound ID Reference > Ghz Can Opener.
Bloom is great, but easily to overdo. It can fix things but also suck out the life of a mix. Always use your ears before your eyes when mixing!
I've noticed that a small amount can achieve significant results.
Agree！
Both Bloom and Gullfoss are so powerful and easily to overdo.

I hope so. I have to try VSX and Waves NX too.
Is gulfoss better than bloom?
it's so hard to answer this. you have to decided yourself.
Great video. McDSP SA-3 is another alternative. I'd love a video that compares these 2!
Thank you for the suggestion. I'll take a look at it.
Cool Cool Cool
Thanks Thanks Thanks
hello, i think Wavesfactory Equalizer do this too, great video!
Wavesfactory has amazing stuff. I'll take a look.

@@beatsandstuff great! Thanks for The answer!

Hey man! thank you for the feedback.
Excellent🎈✨️🏉
Thank you!
Voxengo TEOTE is another great alternative
I'll give it a try in the future.
Try out Brown Noise instead
Really? tell us about it's advantages please.
@@yeckxohigher intensity at lower frequencies. GIve Slate VSX a try. I listened your review through it.
the vocals sound worse...the magic in their voices disappear lol
Is this an AI voice advertisement or what?
It's an AI text to speech @@0xFaw
i hear no difference!
Where did you listen?
