Dude. The amount of studying you did for this review is phenomenal. Not just another "plugin reviewer" that shows you what the knobs do and that's it. Been following you for years now, you're by far the best mixing teacher on RUclips for me. Thank you.
Bro, love the fact you are knowledgeable about the plugin and walking us all through it. Too many audio engineers obviously don't even read the manual before they review it. Good job, you got a subscriber with me.
best plugin review ive seen ever, to be honest. So much depth, yet you also didn't spend time covering things that 99% of people don’t care about. I feel like I could purchase this plugin now and know EXACTLY the purpose behind each knob turn and parameter. Thank you!
I also like mixing with a limiter (or clipper) because you‘ll know immediately if something is wrong. If you can’t push it your mix into the limiter, it‘s probably too dynamic or unbalanced.
for anyone wondering the eq curve is there to compensate for the compression we are doing, it compresses the mids the hardest so we give back the mid range by the eq, just learn his ozone preset and you will understand
This is a hell of a review my boy! Not only did you review the plugin the best so far but you have concrete examples showing how and why it all works with context of why its important. 2probeats I've been following forever too great RUclipsr.
I just want to say that I really appreciate what you do. You're incredibly thorough, and engaging. Your production and delivery is clear, concise and top notch, You dive deep and it's clear you care and put a lot of work into what you do (to our benefit!). Yeah man... just great, great stuff. I hope you're making some of that youtube $$$. because you've earned and deserve it.
I was using the God Particle “religiously” but getting very frustrated with trying to hit the high end parameter. Thanks for your in depth explanation - I’ll stick with it!
Hands down the best review I've ever watched for a plugin. It provides a great overview for using the plugin for all levels but then dives into its guts for the experienced engineer. A beginner will revisit this as they learn more about mixing to discover new levels of understanding as a whole. I SHOULD NOTE that It was your in-depth review that gave me confidence to purchase the plugin because I had a feeling that I knew what is is doing in order to use it. Great job as always Devvon. This lesson combined with the one on sitting vocal with reverb (H-Delay) makes you simply the best!
Great demo as always bro! My only problem with plugins like this is that people tend to lean on this type of stuff to achieve a sound, but you’re just sounding like the next guy. I would caution people to use it as a tool not a crutch. Mix like you love to hear music! That’s what Jaycen Joshua did! And he gave you his taste in a plugin!! #brilliant
Fantastic in-depth investigation. I am demoing TGP now and you really helped me understand what's going on with it far beyond the minimal manual that comes with it!
Learned a lot from this, thank you. Stripped out my chain . Started with TGP first, applied what I picked up and built up from there. Some difference in the final result. Very happy with it.
Devon my dude, I just want to say, Thank You! Your talent, dedication and professionalism, collectively, are on a whole different level. I appreciate all you do to help and motivate myself and others aspire to greatness!!
At about 8 min when youre messing with the mids when the vocal comes its hitting where it should be but in between the mids get lost in the back. Im not sure if that dynamic is over dynamic or maybe the instruments in the back need to come up somehow the crest factor or level has been something i think about a lot as of lately
I've been putting a clipper before the God particle and then boosting the highs and lows to get more OTT sound... it's an incredible VST and makes it easy to get the sound I want for heavy dubstep.
@@jazzanaut7850 Yes, glue with soft clip works but the more advanced way of doing it is like what Nasko is doing... splitting the bands and only clipping the higher frequencies and then limiting the lows. His kilohearts preset is called Smart Clip and that's what I use on my master now. You don't want to clip your subs.
@@slxmsolbeats It's a snap heap preset made by Nasko. Look him up on patreon, for 15 bucks you can get your hands on a ton of incredible sample packs, ableton racks, snap heap/multipass presets. If I could post a picture of it here so you could recreate it, I would.
Awesome, someone that explained the plugin and how to use it. There are some videos that explain while others sound like they just bought it and started doing a review without knowing what to do, and started to treat the review like they are Simon from America Got Talent. Jaycen has taken a lot of time and effort to create this. I won’t take it likely. If you ever met him and Dave you would know where his heart was on creating this. Thank you Devvon for an honest review 🙌🏾
Shout out Dev man. Really learned something new fr! That reverse engineering process showed me that I can do the same thing with Maximus on FL Studio. Straight fire
Commenting just cuz you give hella value bro been watching all your videos over a week now and my mixes FINALLY getting better about to complete my FIRST ever
@@messbemade I’m gonna give you a tip directly given to me by Sound Theory (the people who created Gullfoss) and people don’t know or don’t believe that the Gullfoss should be the last plugin on the master bus. It cleans up every thing. Put it on even after you limiter
Fire azz video my guy went in and dissected the TGP. Good stuff!! I know I wasn't the only one who hit that pause at the 21:11 mark and got a glimpse of that template 😁
Great video by the way. It seems like WAY too many people in this niche of youtube videos sorta fall into the Dunning Kruger zone. You are the real deal, no false ego.
Now I understand what this plugin is. It's a better version of Izotope's Tonal Balance in the sense of seeing where you're frequency are and if they're hittin green you're good if not then u can make adjustments right in the plugin or tweak ur settings in other plugins👌🏾 I was Skeptical at first because I didn't know what it was or what it did but now everything makes sense and I will be buying this for all my future mixes and masters to make things sound better and help me mix better🔥👌🏾 I really needed this video and it helped me a lot💯💪🏾
Can't compare it to tonal balance since it is purely an analyser/ reference tool . The bandwidths on god particle are very broad. What if you hit the suggested mid range but you have too much energy in 2khz? In tonal balance you can see every frequency detailed. Just to clarify that in case somebody sees this and misunderstands it. ( Oh , also , big difference depending on genre . Can't go for same low end for example for a bass heavy song and an acoustic song )
@@demetriuspaschalides4622 Yes, each song can have a different "optimal" EQ band mix. Some may benefit from heavy vs low bass. Hence, the GP's recommendations are only indicative and would often need to be overriden.
This is the best review & explanation of this plug-in I’ve seen on RUclips when researching whether it would be something my mixes would benefit from or if I should give it a trial or actually buy it. I’ve read a lot of comments that it’s mainly intended for R&B or Hip-Hop. I’m recording/mixing rock & metal, but I think it would definitely work for those genres as well to bring some clarity & boost to the mix. Thank you!
First, thank you bro! Will say.. I would've loved to see a sine wave ran through it to see what kind of harmonic content was being added :) not to worry, I'll download the demo and give it a try myself.
What a great video! I'm trying to learn how to get my songs "mastered" just to send to people but the problem that I see with this plug in is that it has no visual support for you to find out if the mix is clipping when you turn up the limiter.
many thanks for the fantastic review - I love the god particle, it brought my mixes to the next level when you mix straight into it. great sounding song btw!
It's basically taking the 3-Band Filter & other functions from a DJ Mixing Console - that's quite clever. Quite often I run my Tracks through DJ Software for similar reasons. If I could run multiple instances on different tracks with my system in a Live situation I could use it.
Should the God Particle only be applied to the Stereo Mix Bus ? Or can it be Used on the Master Out Puts like a Mastering Plug in ? Thanks for the demo excellent!!
This was super informative. Best review of how to use this plugin I've seen. I bought TGP when it came out but didn't start using it until watching this review. thumbs up.
Best explanation I've seen for this plug-in although still not quite level matched.. When a plug-in adds 10db of gain wtf?? TRY: making the God particle 5-10db quieter then your own mix chain.. And then tell us the "façade particle particle" sounds better...😂
Where would this plugin go in the chain if I'm mastering myself? Would i mix into this, then bounce it down and master it with a seperate chain, or just throw this on last in the chain, and add my mastering plugins before this? Thanks! You have some awesome videos i just subbed :)

what limiter do u like using?
@@boimesa8190 I often use the Ozone 9 Limiter for my productions.
I stumbled upon this, great advice
@@musicbyolb so u mix with Ozone always on... CPU killer xD
No one is as clear and precise as you when it comes to explaining new plug ins
for anyone wondering the eq curve is there to compensate for the compression we are doing, it compresses the mids the hardest so we give back the mid range by the eq, just learn his ozone preset and you will understand

i got 10 days left on the trial im buying this it is crazy thanks dor the reverse engineering tutorial D you lit
This review is gold. Very comprehensive. Keep it up!
Devvon is the goat of RUclips tutorials
Learned a lot from this, thank you. Stripped out my chain . Started with TGP first, applied what I picked up and built up from there. Some difference in the final result. Very happy with it.
Ever since it dropped I haven’t mixed without it since. 🔥
amazing video...love the song and the mix.....
5:33 i like how you explain things it's easily digestible
great video! I just love how you explain the creator's intention and also teach how to use it properly.
Devon my dude, I just want to say, Thank You! Your talent, dedication and professionalism, collectively, are on a whole different level. I appreciate all you do to help and motivate myself and others aspire to greatness!!
I respect how thorough you are man , much appreciated
Bro this amount of work this plugin is doing is insane, thank you for the discovery

Are you by chance using Abletons glue compressor, activating the soft clip 🤔?

@@gulagwarlord Okay thanks man will check him out
Thank you for that great review. Well done sir. As a top down rock metal mixer this plugin was a game changer for me and use it eveytime now.

Fantastic Review, Thamk You very much
Best video I've seen on this thing, well done.
Appreciate the quick 5 second like/sub drop, lol.
Much love frm Nigeria 🇳🇬 ur reviews r top notch rsalt help me get better everyday. ❤❤❤
Highly appreciate your review. SQUAD TALK.
bro posted this on my birthday. I'm honored
Best review of this plugin I've found anywhere. Thank you, Devvon!
Thank you brother. Thoroughly explained with examples. I needed this. Bless.
Wow my brother. Such a great video. Wow
Shout out Dev man. Really learned something new fr! That reverse engineering process showed me that I can do the same thing with Maximus on FL Studio. Straight fire
Commenting just cuz you give hella value bro been watching all your videos over a week now and my mixes FINALLY getting better about to complete my FIRST ever
This Plugin is really a god particle, I see how it automatically detects frequency areas, that way you know where some bad frequencies are!!!!
Fab filter pro q 3 and mb can do the same thing.
This is awsome. I never thought that I can study and make presets by comparing AB that plugin makes change. Very interesting approach !
bro your writing is crazy! love this song
I bought the God Particle last week and that plugin is a beast. I use this with the Gullfoss plugins and get great results
gulfoss before or after? on master im assuming
@@messbemade I’m gonna give you a tip directly given to me by Sound Theory (the people who created Gullfoss) and people don’t know or don’t believe that the Gullfoss should be the last plugin on the master bus. It cleans up every thing. Put it on even after you limiter
@@PharaohLawLess1 so gulfoss always last on your master chain?
@@messbemade Yep
Why last instead of first? I’m curious on the philosophy behind that
Very helpful man! Can't wait to see you again at NAMM by the grace
Appreciate the level match. Not a lot RUclipsrs/Reviewers are aware of this. Loudness can be deceiving. 👍
Extremely!!
Awareness and being paid to like something are 2 separate things 😂
Devon has always kept it one hundred
Ditto!!!!!!
Best audio teacher out!
What's your song title?? Where can I listen? I'm so hooked
Beast on the reverb
Gain matching is critical to comparison. If the plugin is twice as loud, our brain will always prefer the louder choice. Always gain match, please.
you've explained this plugin the best out of all the vids on youtube ...... your mix sound really dope bro ..props
Such a great, thoroughly researched video! Does this plugin work well for Atmos mixing too?
Thank you for gain staging at the beginning
Yooooo... I just added God Particle to a beat that I am mixing... As SOOON as I added it, the mix took OFFFFFF! Insane. Now I want to try out your EQ
Jaycen said the hardware unit is in the works. I'm definitely buying it because the plugin has been a godsend for me.
Fire azz video my guy went in and dissected the TGP. Good stuff!! I know I wasn't the only one who hit that pause at the 21:11 mark and got a glimpse of that template 😁
So really this is a good plug-in for beginners that have no idea where their starting point should relatively be
Great video by the way. It seems like WAY too many people in this niche of youtube videos sorta fall into the Dunning Kruger zone. You are the real deal, no false ego.
Sweet review. You did some great prep work before making the video. Very clear & precisely explained.
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate this in depth demonstration.

"I'm going to take off the limiter"
THANK YOU!
came here for a plug-in review, left listening to your music. lol. You got it goin on man.
thank you, this video made things click
I was using slate fgx and fgx2 for years until I tried the god particle. Sold immediately
What a great video! I'm trying to learn how to get my songs "mastered" just to send to people but the problem that I see with this plug in is that it has no visual support for you to find out if the mix is clipping when you turn up the limiter.
When are these other engineer's curves coming? I still haven't seen them.
Not gone cap I usually crack plugins and this is my first plugin I ever paid for today💯
Great review Devon!
Great breakdown of the plugin! Awesome video
many thanks for the fantastic review - I love the god particle, it brought my mixes to the next level when you mix straight into it. great sounding song btw!
Very nice instructive video... This plugin seem to be very helpful to put on the master bus...
Man this is a game changer forsure the future is getting better 🔥
Bless for showing the reverse engineering 🙏🔥

Hey man, thanks for the walkthrough.
This was super informative. Best review of how to use this plugin I've seen. I bought TGP when it came out but didn't start using it until watching this review. thumbs up.
Great review, but I think part of the A/B excitement is because the ACTIVE is louder . . . or at least seems louder.
Blackbox, Maag Eq, Clipper before that God Particle and its tha shit!!!!
Great review and tutorial man! Love your voice too.
Bout to try it now! stoked!
If I could give this a hundred thumbs up - I would. As it is, you just earned a subscriber. Bets plugin review I've seen of any-damn-thing.
Best explanation I've seen for this plug-in although still not quite level matched..
When a plug-in adds 10db of gain wtf??
TRY: making the God particle 5-10db quieter then your own mix chain..
And then tell us the "façade particle particle" sounds better...😂

Best video review on this plugin, 100%
At last you showed exactly what people wanted to see! Thank you so much!!!
Right this is what I’ve been wanting to see in reviews for this
Did those other presets ever get released (Dave Pensado, etc)?
Where would this plugin go in the chain if I'm mastering myself? Would i mix into this, then bounce it down and master it with a seperate chain, or just throw this on last in the chain, and add my mastering plugins before this? Thanks! You have some awesome videos i just subbed :)
This plugin is amazing. Thanks man!
Bro’ ..that track is 🔥
Thanks yo maybe I’ll drop it 🤔
Devvon different bruh 💯😭
Great tutorial and dope song! Thank youuu
Dope video... Its also cool that you mentioned 2probeats!
Tell him I said what up!!
