Massive used to be Serum before Serum came out, yikes now i feel old

I totally agree with the price of Scaler 2. And it's currently on sale over on Plugin Boutique for 29USD. That software should easily be like 149 USD or MORE! A must buy for anyone looking to write music. The bonus is it will actually teach you music theory too.

Phase plant is a beast. Cheap to rent and after 12 month's renting it they give you a 100 dollar voucher. And the best bit is their entire eco system is so much more than the synth.

For Synths, Surge XT... Free.. Open source... Amazing... It never gets mentioned and blows many a free & paid options away.

Arturia Pigments as a solid general synthesizer with a really good sequencer you can use with other synths as well.

Supertone CLEAR is also great for noise remova for vocals.

Logic challenges the non-stock argument. The Liner EQ doesnt cause resonant problems, the console EQ Is one of the best analog/neve EQ emulations ever, the Phat FX chain, and the different compressors actually sound pretty good and have enough filter/sidechain features to make it a swiss army plugin. The chroma verb, pedal board spring verb on any instrument, tape delay and platinum verb get the jobs done for me for space effects, and the organ, epiano, disco strings, deep tech drums, analog sub sonic bass, liverpool bass, flabba bass amp setting. and studio horn sax patches are enough to create anything you can think up. Add the crazy good apple drum loops, some decent tuning on the current version and new mastering suite all for 200$ is the best package if plugins in history

Kitchhoff EQ is even more versatile than ProQ 3

Great Weaver! I'm glad you're making analysis or teaching music through your videos.

Thanks. This gave me 5 options that have helped me a lot.

8:45 For that purpose Soothes sidechain function also should help. For example I use Soothe 2 for masking the beat in a vocal mix for rap, wehre the beat gets Soothe sidechained to the vocalbus so the overall processed vocals carve their way through the beat frequency wise. its really transparent and you almost dont notice the beat gets cut in some areas since the frequencies are perfeclty filled with the vocals. Just dont overdo it obviosly. But it helps a lot and a lot of clients are really surprised how "well" i can put their vocals on the beat and make it fit.. its actually a gamechanger

Such a good video. Quick, to the point and explained perfectly. Thanks man 👊

thanks for the tip about UVR, going to try them out now 🙌

Love plugin videos. Gotta catch em all

Phase Plant rules all when it comes to synths

I love you man this is a really great video the best one in a long time. I think it's important to revisit the flows of the work and the tools that you use along the way. The only thing I would add is maybe to have added more examples of why to purchase it. For example before effect after effect

Can’t forget about TDR plugins. Their EQ is similar to ProQ and it’s free. Their compressor is damn good too. I’m going to pay for their gentleman’s edition since I always use their plugins.
