In this episode of MakeMineMusic, Marc Daniel Nelson shows you a secret one step trick to making mixes louder yet more dynamic.
While using a two part cocktail follow along as Marc brings back the punch and dynamics of this funky track.
This trick will allow you to the punchy side of the mix while still getting the volume.
By using two plugins, this option will allow you to hear what a mix is doing distortion wise, and then correct that before the limiter with a different clipper (a two-plugin cocktail).
Using Fab Filter Pro L2, choose the “punchy” option, then click 1:1 which lets you monitor in real time the same volumes if it’s bypassed or not. To the right of it is a headphone option that when engaged, it lets you hear what the limiter is doing; you hear only what the limiter is affecting.
The trick here is to use the listening option, and then putting a clipper in front of the plugin, and then adjust the clipper to do what you need it to do to adjust what you’re doing on the limiter.
This will allow you to get a louder mix, while also making sure your mix still sounds clean.
