you've been a huge part of my production journey. thanks for not holding back! i have a request to make: please could you make a video on how to use a vu meter. pretty please!!!!!!
@@kamso3553 Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy to have helped! That's a good idea, is there anything in particular that you find challenging about using a VU meter?
He's straight forward, no nonsense. Like he says on this video, "let's waste no time." He obviously plans and edits his productions, and REALLY wastes no time!
these companies that are providing these free amazing plugins deserve so much more credit!! I've used/been using TDR Nova for more than a year before I got Ozone 9 but I totally slept on these compressors, after 5 minutes of watching I immediately downloaded them. superb video as always!
I love the fact that the interface of Kotelnikov is the simplest it can be without making it frustrating for more advanced users. It is like Harmless but easier to grasp.
Too true, too many people are just in it for clicks and will say "Here's a list of my favorite 'x' plugins!" then go on to list almost every single plugin in that category...
Good video. Nicely presented. Very clear. Well spoken and good enunciation. The lack of gimmicks, background noises (continuous music, sfx etc) and no hyper fast cutting make this a joy to watch. Nice for an "oldie" like me! Thank you, good sir.
Full TDL Bundle owner here. I find the Fab Filter products superior in all cases except compression, where I use primarily TDL. These are not only my fav free compressors, but they are my fav compressors full stop.
These guys are amazing devs who are exactly the kinds of people producers and engineers should want to support. They have reasonable prices, they work hard for the community, they make amazing plugins, and they give so much away for free. If you like their free stuff, try to buy at least one of their paid plugins, if only to support their amazing business model and ethic.
One of my favorite channels because of how real, honest, and down to earth you are. Instead of begging for subscribers, you tell us to go make music and get familiar with what we have because it's way more fun and useful than trying to find the best (or every) plugin in existence. Instead of naming off all of the plugins you can find online, you give us a few SOLID recommendations that you're familiar with. Thanks
I was about to ask a video that explains what are the differences between some compressors. But no need to ask, In The Mix already knew I needed this video. Thx !
A feature I really like on Molotok (I somehow failed to pick up Kotelnikov when I visited the TDR site, so I'll revisit tomorrow) is the Delta button. It's a very useful feature that helps a newbie work out how the compressor is working, since it reveals what is being "subtracted" and I think it's quite rare to see a Delta button on a freebie.
you know what I appreciate the most about In The Mix? He ALWAYS shows off the free/stock stuff, unlike other RUclips producers who are always using some paid VST or plugin that they made or were sponsored by.
"It is much more valuable to know 1 or 2 good plugins in and out" well said. All music is made by setting limitations then slightly bending the rules sometimes. 2 of every effect is a good number.
So happy to see you... I used TDR Kotelnikov as you have taught us before. Now, I have come to know about Monotok. It's 12:08 am in India. I will install Monotok after a nap.. Thank you.. Good night..
Wow! Thanks so much for the pointer! The new compressor with saturation will be great for getting that last bit of loudness in a final mix. I can't believe how useful three molotok will be. Can't wait to learn it. Awesome! EDIT: you didn't even cover one of the best features:. The delta button. Try enabling this: you can use that as a staccato effect for really cool additions to your sound. Lots of possibilities. Very, very cool. Thanks again!
Coincdentally, these are the 2 compressors I use. I really like them. Seeing that you use them make me feel even better about them. I never paid any attention to the side chain stuff you mentioned. I will begin to play around with that next. Your videos are extremely helpful
I was just on my way to watch your video about "Free Plugins" you mentioned in another video about compression for this exact reason. The timing of this video was eerie! Thanks for your tutorials!
I totally agree, so much that I've got all of their gentlemen edition, except for their new Molotok, which I plan on getting their GE pretty soon...)) I do use them...all the time. I also own most of FabFilter plugIns.....but Tokyo Dawn are certainly a game changer.
Great video, as Always. Thanks for doing all of these videos, Some of the best recommendations ive gotten have been from you (beyerdynamic dt 770s, Ozone , Tdr nova etc.) I cant wait to try out molotok, it looks sick. keep making great content! Edit: Kotelnikov ended up being the more useful. such a clean sound!
What I love about your tutorials is they are not random memes that teaches nothing. Keep it up man!❤️ However, It will be great if you can make a tutorial about "Vallhallaroom, Valhalla Vintage verb, Valhalla shimmer and Valhalla Supermassive"
Hi sir it would be really helpful if you make a new playlist for only plugins in which you explain about different plugins because after know almost every basic I think it is good to look around for plugins and work with them. So making a separate playlist would be good for beginners like me
Michael, great advice and recommendations as always. I've already been using Kotelnikov thanks to your recommendation in a previous video and can confirm that it is a superb compressor. After I tried it in some of my tracks, it instantly became my go to compressor. It is very well designed, easy and slick to use, plus looks as great as it sounds. I've already been recommending it to other musicians. I'm looking forward to trying the Molotok compressor also, and no doubt it too will sound good for two reasons - 1. You recommend it and 2. It's from Tokyo Dawn Labs!
subscribed, and thank you for the recommendation. I'm looking into getting rid of waves and finding open source/smaller developer options. Probably the only big company thing I'm staying with is Ableton and Soundtoys.
This is amazing Michael, I've learnt so many thing from you. You should a video about mixing in mono, it's something that I've been struggling with:( thank you Michael!
That's so kind of you! I'd highly recommend checking out Asher Postman and Synth Hacker if you want to learn more - they are amazing!

@@inthemix Thanks for suggestions. I will definetly check them and I am sure they are good too. But for me your channel is important because I have learned manything from you. Thanks 😎
They even offer a no install version. They are the best in the game, no doubt. The difference between molotok and just a saturation plugin is that it saturates only when it compresses. Behaving like analog gear circuits would

MJUC Klanghelm Jr. is also a good free alternative. I will be glab if you check it out.
Everybody gangsta until In The Mix starts putting two unskippable ads 😂. But no problem, you deserve it all!
I swear 60% of my knowledge in music production out of hundreds of sources comes from In The Mix, Thank you
I concur! I'd say mine is maybe even higher - 75% even.
yes this guy is giving premium info for free
Same here
Very true
He's straight forward, no nonsense. Like he says on this video, "let's waste no time." He obviously plans and edits his productions, and REALLY wastes no time!
TDR are excelent tools for mixing and mastering, plus super responsive to the community
Honestly there are only a few developers who seem to care so much about the community! Youlean is another great example :)
@@inthemix you are right!! and they deserve our support back
*mixing
i have a huge respect for them as am student and i cant afford all this expensive plugins but they changed the game for me.

Looove these "here's a few amazing plugins" instead of a list of 20 :D Great videos, dude.
Too true, too many people are just in it for clicks and will say "Here's a list of my favorite 'x' plugins!" then go on to list almost every single plugin in that category...
So many people making music production tutorials, you're easily the best I've found..

You have explained so well in a very simple way. Thanks. I love to hear more from you. God bless. (Abraham) 🇮🇳

10:00 you can also do that with Nova! TDR really does know what they're doing, I think I'm in love with molotok, and I haven't even tried it yet!
You're right! Started using that a week ago. So easy to set up!

Can it be used like a de esser to filter out unwanted frequencies?
Honestly, my favourite free plugins are the Analog Obsession stuff. So incredibly good!
I just discovered these this week, love them for sure
I've got a couple of these. They are very good, I agree.
you know what I appreciate the most about In The Mix? He ALWAYS shows off the free/stock stuff, unlike other RUclips producers who are always using some paid VST or plugin that they made or were sponsored by.
All of their free plugins are so impressive! Awesome features, great sound, beautiful and useful interface... Gotta love Tokyo Dawn!
"It is much more valuable to know 1 or 2 good plugins in and out" well said. All music is made by setting limitations then slightly bending the rules sometimes. 2 of every effect is a good number.
Tell that to my 10 delays. They won't listen to me.
Bro i was really waiting for your new video while watching your another one now when I get this notification... 😁😁🙂✌️🙏
I love what you do and how you do it. when I search a topic, I go for in the mix kos I know I'm getting great value
Yes, I tried it instantly after it's release. Very nice character and tone. Really like it. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and healthy !!
Love the TDR compressor, the drum smasher pre set is great for parallel bus compression. Big fan.
I was looking for a free alternative plugin to a compresor/saturator. Thanks for showing these AWESOME plugins
RUSSIAN NAMES EXISTS
TDR: YES
One of the developers is Russian. So, yes.
So happy to see you...
I used TDR Kotelnikov as you have taught us before.
Now, I have come to know about Monotok.
It's 12:08 am in India.
I will install Monotok after a nap..
Thank you..
Good night..

acctually the molotok compressor is a monster !!!! thank u brother ,
I wanted to master Kotelnikov for a long time, this video will help a lot, thanks !
Coincdentally, these are the 2 compressors I use. I really like them. Seeing that you use them make me feel even better about them. I never paid any attention to the side chain stuff you mentioned. I will begin to play around with that next. Your videos are extremely helpful
Kotelnikov is my new favourite mastering compressor! It’s a great ”clutter remover” and it also adds clarity.
Dude you are the absolute best!!! I've learned so much from you.
Could you make another mix and mastering tutorial using free plugins like these? I found your last video really helpful!
Too good to be true... Some people never have problems with these things, but lately nothing works in my computer
Thanks for another great video! I was looking for something beyond the FLS standards.
Was looking for something to help drive a di bass track and the Molotok works absolutely PERFECT. Thank you for this recommendation!
I was just on my way to watch your video about "Free Plugins" you mentioned in another video about compression for this exact reason. The timing of this video was eerie! Thanks for your tutorials!
Hey bro i am watching from India 🇮🇳 and i started watching your videos from last two year regularly
Yeeesss, already love this one, I've actually been requesting something like this on the discord server, thank you Mike
You're welcome!
I totally agree, so much that I've got all of their gentlemen edition, except for their new Molotok, which I plan on getting their GE pretty soon...)) I do use them...all the time. I also own most of FabFilter plugIns.....but Tokyo Dawn are certainly a game changer.
What would we do without In The Mix, fav channel for sure!!
These compressores are REALLY good.
Thank you very much!!!!!
Michael is better than some of the university professors I had when I was enrolled in a sound course.
Forgot about the total gain function on the molotok! Coming back to this video was the right choice :D
Thanks Michael. Your videos are very helpful. Спасибо🙏✨
Wow handsome guy talking about great mixing stuff, what a channel
Are we not gonna talk about how beautiful that cello was? If possible could you please tell us where it's from Michael 🙂
I love both of these plugins, TDR is amazing!
I really loved what Molotok did on the cello.
TDR rock! I love their Kotelnikov and Nova EQ, and now I'll welcome this new Molotok. Great!
I've been using Kotelnikov for as long as it's existed, alongside more premium plugins like Pro-C. Definitely trying the new one.
WAW I just downloaded the TDR compressor couple days ago and didn't know how to use it thank you so much !!
Maybe I should make a full tutorial for the Molotok?
@@inthemix Yeah sure why not !
yes please

Edit: Kotelnikov ended up being the more useful. such a clean sound!
My new primary source of plugin and mix knowledge, thank you sir.
Michael, Thanks a Million! The Molotok is the Best Free Plug-In I ever Got! Super Transparent Sound my Drums Came Alive From the Dead!
Thanks for letting us know about these Michael. I appreciate it.
Molotok sounds awesome

Again, great advice: learn 1-3 compressors WELL. Advice taken! TYVM Michael.
Thanks man, you're simply put A BLESSING TO OUR GENERATION, love you man
Great Video Mike.
The example with the sine wave helped a great deal.
