why do you need to unlink them afterwards and set the output back to zero?

This is super cool! I wish I could find a video that explains how to do these kind of patches that you had on in PhasePlant, and do them mostly via native Bitwig devices. Super cool!

I got this from the KVR: "A tool like Soothe is one step up from a dynamic EQ. Whereas in a Dyn EQ you set a specific frequency and treshold to react to dynamically, Soothe under the hood divides the signal in many narrow spectral bands. When you set Soothe for example to the upper-mids it will analyse the signal and then reduce those bands poking out too much compared to the average (= resonances). It does so not fixed to one specific frequency point, but to an entire range of the spectrum as defined by the user (eg upper-mids). It will not reduce just one defined frequency node as in a Dyn EQ, but it will reduce whatever frequency bands are poking out too much. The difference is pretty obvious once you have used it." So Reso is not doing this, right?

I may be wrong but I don't think Reso is superior to Soothe2, because they are in different leagues, and Soothe2 is one level up. Reso analyzes the given portion audio and makes a list of resonant frequencies which you can adjust, but Soothe2 does it all the time, so there's no need to "listen" to audio, and frequencies that are resonant are moving all the time, the curve in Soothe2 is biasing curve which just describe where and how you want Soothe2 to intervene. Also, in example that you showed, Soothe2 sounds better to me. I would really want someone to confirm my way of thinking about this, or to deny it, I may say I'm not too sure that I'm right.

Just finished ep.1, and I am almost speechless.Thank you!

Thankyou Baphy! Epic series!

Not sure what point you're making with the VSX...?...I have VSX and, as you know, it's intended to be used with the headphones on the system output to be any good at all...But if you're just trying to make the "flubby" point, it works...!!!

The clip-to-zero method is really genius IMO. Though, personally I use an altered version where I don't worry about the CTZ mixing stuff until I'm in the mixdown phase - I don't like stressing about mixing stuff until I've got the composition and arrangement laid down, also I'm generally aiming for around -10 LUFS rather than -7 LUFS, because I like trying to retain as much dynamics as possible while still making it sound "loud enough" to fit in with modern mix aesthetic. But yeah, even with those tweaks I'm finding it incredibly useful for achieving the results I'm after in a more predictable and repeatable way. I also like that it shows how even hard clipping, which is said to be "the devil" by many audio engineers, pros and hobbyists alike, can still be a genuinely useful tool in your mixing toolbox - because I don't think anything in music production is categorically bad to do, it all depends on the circumstances. For shaving off tiny transient peaks from a sound, clippers can actually work more transparently than limiters. Anyway, I wanna thank you for spreading the message about this technique, because it's helped me a lot with my mixdowns.

Hey Baph, I noticed you don't use any of Bitwig's AUX FX... I guess because you are making use of the GROUP folders as buses? Are they functionally equal? How would you treat Aux FX outside of your folder system? Gain/Clip on those channels too?

I thought this would be about clippers, and it turns out I learned how compressors actually work like transient shapers, and how LFO shapers are like side chain compression. So much "gold" in this treasure chest! Subscribed!

Excellent 👍👍👍 I love people, who explain the "why"!

this looked so complicated i thought it was a parody of tutorial videos over really intricate and complicated software.

Hello @Baphometrix , thanks for the amazing content and useful tutorials! I have a question regarding the topic of this video: Does this sweet spot apply also to all UAD and Slate Digital plugins? The UAD 1176 include a Headroom knob in case the signal is too hot. Doesn't that solve the issue? Would it sound different if the Gain reduction is exactly the same? Thanks :D

Finally someone who knows what they're talking about. It's been a confusing journey for a beginner with all the neverending compression tutorials but next to none about clipping. I'm starting to understand the correct order of things and WHY it's done like it is, thanks to you.

You’re not familiar enough with Soothe to use it properly. This is my conclusion. It’s great that you get on well with RESO, but many won’t share your conclusions.

I’ve been producing for over 20 years. I found this super helpful!

Having learned the -18db method of gainstaging with VU's on each channel, this series provide a completely different approach. Watching the whole series and picking up other tools and techniques on the way. I like the focus on only clipping if you have to, and it should be transparent. Removing a 1 or 2 milisecond click from a transient that is spiking 8db is not destroying dynamics of an instrument in most cases. Seems to me you'd be doing your comps, or any other tools in your signal path a favor. The modern ear is used to listening to heavily compressed audio. So far in the series, I haven't seen one compressor in use, it's all been about gaining loudness as transparently as possible through sound design, gain staging and clipping, if needed. Great great stuff.

Holy shit it's Badger! Badger, I didn't know you were an audio engineer, I thought you were just a meth head!

Creating more organic music, with physical instruments, I still hit the mixbuss limiter issue. Totally baffled at how I got there. Like a big black hole of wtf. Invaluable.

Dude this is so fire. Thank you.

Anyone use N-clip by @nasko? I think that does something similar to newfangled audio saturate.

thank you so much

What about the vocals do they also get clipped?

I just found this, absolute gold, thank you! ❤🎉🎉😊

I own both Soothe2 and Reso. I have been using Reso a bit more lately though.

Anyone else think Saturation Knob sounded more transparent than Saturn? Or just me?

very interesting so, this is the kind of compression where you sidechain the kick and snare as inputs to your bus resulting in ducking the rest of the sounds while at the same time compressing the drums itself. its a sound i have long looked for. thanks ❤

in summary, the shortcuts are called "insert from library", "focus track" and "focus panel below". the rest of this video is superfluous.

just in case anyone sees this: at 1:27:00, why are the kick and snare summing to zero in the "from RR-XO" group? It doesn't have dpMeter and my experience is that two 0db tracks naturally sum higher. What am I misunderstanding please?

woooooo!

Phenomenal stuff

your a legend

Now that kclip has multiband do you prefer it over spectre?

@Baphometrix Did you ever release this song? because I actually wanted to listen to it in my spare time and I'm genuinely disappointed that I can't seem to find it anywhere online. Wait maybe this is the wrong video... but it has the lyrics "I did my best to learn to listen" etc. You were discussing dan warrol in it and stuff, I don't wanna have to watch the damn video just to hear it again ffs...

Another awesome video in this series. When looking at Spectre, what about using Saturn in multiband mode? Isn't that pretty similar. Or if you duplicated two channels, one dry, and one wet with saturn in multiband mode, then mixed the wet one in, would that be the same as Spectre? Just curious on your thoughts.

Very much appreciated for these videos! It's crazy that some of the Riddim guys and Skrillex can get LUFS to -4 and still sound clean

Baphy!!! Have you tried Gold Clip yet?! I just got the trial and I am HOOKED!! It has so much loudness/clarity potential than any other clipper on the market currently! I swear on my life you need to try it!

Ive just started to watch this series and i have to say its probably the best tutorial i ever seen on yt. Good job! 👏👏

love this deep dive, how does this work when your working with a 909 kick and your bass has alot of modulations

just FYI, on the Serum global tab there is a setting for unison stereo width, which is by default set to 100%. To achieve that width, frequencies are put out of phase so it is self-evident that the more of this width you use, the more you will lose because the frequencies are all folded together resulting in phase cancellation. I have tested Serum vs Vital and sort of did the same checks you did here. It's pretty obvious to me that in this video you have much more stereo unison width setting on Serum than on Avenger (perhaps there is no setting for the user to change the width further than what you have here and Avenger devs decided that they never wanted unison voices to be that much out of phase as is possible on Serum). On headphones it's quite easy to hear that your Avenger sound is much less wide than Serum. So in conclusion, it's not that the way Serum does stereo is more detrimental than Avenger (which i get the impression is what you are saying with the video). Serum just allows you to do wider stereo (aka out of phase sides), or maybe you just missed a global stereo setting on Avenger which allows you to go wider as well.

KClip - Version 3.6.2 - May 1, 2024 is out. would love to hear your opinion which version is actual your favorite.

Finally finished all 24 episodes. Amazing educational series.

Oh yeah this is a gem and a half thank you for putting me on

Thank you for making these videos

This boy said “what it’s doing under the covers” 😏

Are you sure you know what you're doing there? Do you know what "ceiling" in StandardClip is doing?

Excellent stuff mate. Seen these last year but I am revisiting again

Great video! I have had RESO for over a year and I learned so much from this video. Thanks!

So how does Subtronics pull off -0.3LUFS on the drop, and it still slaps ??!?!?🔥
