Hey Guys,

Hope you're well,

hmm how can i put this, i know many of what i'm gonna ask has been posted and asked before here on our Beloved Forum, so please excuse me for all those nooby questions...

well i have been working with sound and audio for quite some time now, i've gained my skills and knowledge, i may know what i need, but i feel like i'm still missing some stuff, maybe using wrong plugins or putting them in the wrong place or using them in the wrong time...

so what i'm gonna ask is

Your favorite Delay, Reverb, Compressors, Chorus, filters, exciters all sort of things...
what kinda of Chains you use on Vocals, on Guitars and acoustic ones, what do you use on the bass Guitar, what do you use on Synths, Choirs, Strings, Brass everything...

i wanna see how people work & react with their sounds, i wanna know how and why you prefer that plugin, wanna know why you use it at that specific time, why not this before that...

i believe that we can learn from each other, by exchanging our knowledge...

maybe other topics exists, maybe some of you are tired of writing it again and again, but hope you have the time to write it one last time for all of us, and i believe if people, actually did share their experience in this Thread it may save some of us sometimes, i don't know how to put it all this in one phrase, anyway, all i'm asking is to give me not only me, but everyone who is interested in some other's experience some of your time...

you may as well tell us some of your secret techniques and stuff, i'm happy to share as well, but i'm not sure if anyone is interested in mine, if you are just ask and i'll do my best writing about it,

so hope that everyone will be interested in this thread and hope that everyone says a word or two so we can make it a big thread for everyone...

Please no bad Replies or bad attitude, if you don't have anything good to say or tell, please leave your comments to yourself...

Wanna keep this as POSITIVE thing as possible.


THANK YOU VERY MUSH,

and hope you have a great time,

MLM

 

That is very broad area to cover, Still I shall do my best to answer/cover most of it after I have had some sleep, Not slept for well over 48 hours so I'm just too exhausted to think straight, Functioning on fumes/zombie autopilot MLM dude

Catch you soon, All the best

 

UP... just reviving the thread...

 

Just a heads up. Bumping threads is discouraged.

Anyways, I try to stick to the basics. One to two of each required plugin type. For example I use a convolution reverb and an algorithmic reverb. I use a coloring compressor and a transparent one. For things like delay, I tend to use something powerful enough to achieve any sound I would actually want, but don't use the full power for every application of the plugin (Sigmund for example, powerful as all get out, but can do simple delays as well). If a plugin doesn't have a legitimate purpose in my workflow, I remove it. Simplifying your setup in this manner can be very liberating. If in question about the usefulness of a particular plugin, simply A/B the workhorse you are using with the new plugin in an actual project you are working on. For me, this really distinguishes the plugins that are useful to me from the ones that are not. Hope this helps.

 

I use Rack Spacer a lot. A great VST, never makes a track sound worse, really resource-efficient, and completely free.

Fabfilter bundle for sure! I really love the intuitive way they work. I can't imagine myself producing, mixing or mastering without them!

 

Yeah man.. Couldn't agree more.. They should really charge for it.. it's just that good.

I like to use it on my vocal tracks.. and always on the master. +1

 

I use it to keep power cables away from my VST's.

 

Anyway.. My chain for pretty much everything is..

Trial and error.

I don't think asking what everyone else uses will benefit you much at all.

Dig in, find out for yourself, do the hard, time consuming grunt work.

Formulate your own chains, results. You'll be better off for it.

This just seems more like shortcutting.

 

How have I not seen this before LOL!? Well, I took the Pepsi challenge. Sounds IDENTICAL to my single space solid and vented panels. Nailed it on the 2 space vented panel too. I haven't tried it against my 4 space non-vented panel yet. But I trust it will nail that one too. Great piece of kit.
