So just like the topic says any good mixing and mastering plugins you guys recommend?

All I know is fabfilter and soundtoys.

I'm not good at mixing and mastering, I only have FL studio stock plugins except valhalla reverb and valhalla shimmer.

Now I realize that mixing and mastering is an art and needs practice but maybe some for example soundtoys and fabfilter presets will make my life and mixing and mastering journey easier.

I don't know though.

Thanks

 

@peshti This section of the forum has 1224 threads discussing mixing and mastering techniques. You also find 100s of discussions about plugins for different aspects of both mixing and mastering. Moreover, as it is posited, your question is broad and vague, therefore, you should start reading through them in order to gain the information you are seeking. You will gain more knowledge reading them than whatever answers you receive on this thread.

 

That's absolutely fine.

 

FabFilter - Ozone - Acustica Audio

have fun

 

That won't work - at all. You don't need presets but practise, years of. Round about seven each for mixing and mastering.

 

What are you mixing and mastering? fruity needs a decent delay (with intuitive controls like H-delay or echoboy.
And for mixing vocals some decent compressor emulators like 1176 and la-2a comps is a must for me.

 

Your Stock daw plugins. Until you notice one of them is not sounding the way you want, it is missing features you need or you dislike the workflow/GUI. Then it is time to start looking for a 3rd party replacement.

There are so many good plugins out there you will get a million different answers. Plugins are a very personal thing.

 

the fabfilter bundle alone is all you really need.
i recommend spending time practicing with the tools you have already and learning them as well as learning the process of mixing. presets will not help at all, every use is unique, presets will rarely even get you close.

i would not worry about mastering too much just yet, until you are a more confident mixer. you will learn about it while learning to mix anyway, which will give you the fundamental knowledge needed to start learning the mastering process.

 

here is a pretty good guide to help you get started learning to mix. i have seen this guide help many many people in the past, including myself:

Yes there are.

(I like vagueness too)

 

everything is good except 10x soundgoodizers on your master bus

 

I always try to follow More's Law: The More a plugin costs, the better the music will sound.

 

Also the better it looks the better it sounds, but that goes without saying.

fabfilter MOVE OVER!!! imagine this plugin was sold for 1000 dollars a while back and it still super expensive

 

I guess this is the right place to start:

and pt.2:

 

Remember, always use 23 reverbs.

 

yea you need at least 30

 

thats how aphex twin made quadrillions

 

i used 22 once. it sounded like the track was so close to my face that it was licking my eyeball
