Nobody's told me what i have done wrong... I need chritisism! I will improve on the next video which shall be Drums and Bass continued. Then the 3rd episode shall be about synthesis and then some kind of self mixing/mastering solutions.

Nice one deps, learned a bit from them, bring on the next ones.

Theres nothing "wrong" with it, its just the way you work, im gonna be implementing more subtractive EQing for sure.

EDIT: what was that little blue eq anyway? came with logic or not? (thought it was an oxford for a sec, please dont say its an oxford)

+1 on camelcrusher and rocket-- great plugs.

Thanks!

No thats the built in logic channel EQ. Cant use it with anything else unfortunately...

great work!!....really enjoyed these

It was too short, the next one should be 3 hours long, and by the last 10 minutes should contain a bass patch so phat it can't get out the door.

These are fantastic - nice work!

I'm a Logic and electronic music production newb so I'll be watching intently for the next one.

Do you have any insight on how the transient designer works its magic?

[sigmund floyd]

nice one, i def look forward to the next one.........so parallel compression is basically doubling the signal and compressing the 2 signal?????why not just slightly compressing one signal????and why did you use the rocket compressor instead of logic's native one?

Its not doubling the signal as such. Im adding an extremely compressed version to a copy of the original, then this extremely compressed version is being mixed in with the original. If you can imagine it keeps all the dynamics of the original, but it 'fills' the gaps between the loud peaks and ..well silence.. Heres a vid i scooped up from youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAT1P0UBF58

I used the rocket compressor because it has extreme attack and release controls, and has precision not normally found in 'average' compresors. Its also great for really slamming drums, so its great for parallel compression.

Scrap that i made my own video -
Make sure you watch it on youtube in 720p so you can see what im doing.
Enjoy

Parallel compression continued-

What's the shortcut key to send 100%? That's a new one to me

Sweet video man! I don't think I was crushing enough previously which is why I couldn't get the desired sound!

Errrmmm... Alt click i think. Works for all faders and even bypasses inserts/sends when you click on them. handy!

Hehe yeh I trial and errored it in the end I knew it bypassed but didn't know it did that to sends and fader

[Depone]

Bump!

Also do you recon i should try get tbis stickied if im making a series of them?

[marshy]

Nice video, thanks a lot! Looking forward to the next bunch.

alt+click will bring any setting to 0 (or 0db) in logic-- so it brings the faders to zero, limiter output, send level, etc...
