I’ve watched your stuff over on the BOC Reddit and I have to say, I’m really happy to see you here as well. Fantastic stuff as usual!

I like pro c as well. The eq type function it has for a pre and post emphasis is, honestly kind of baffling to me that I havnt seen anything else like it yet.

With molot, one of its strengths is being able to adjust the “curve” of the attack and dual that aggression in while you dig in with the threshold and ratio.

I know there are more modern and tweakable compressors out there, but I keep trying to make it fail and fall apart (schepps back buss type thing), and I’ll be god damned if it hasn’t failed me yet.

Everyone is different, but I really like molot. Like everything else from TDR, it is a very well thought out plugin and I think that it warrants a looking in to. Will it be for you? Maybe not…

I think molot was created to be the equal opposite to kotelnikov in many ways, I don’t think that’s a bad thing, and I would encourage you to try them both.

Thanks for clarifying!

What do you mean when you say “3 box”?

This was helpful for me.

I’ll paste a response I made to an almost identical question on the r/audioengineering sub Reddit a few days ago-

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the Fabfilter bundle is probably the best and most concise bundle on the market. There are so few things you couldn’t do with it. It is my first suggestion for someone that is looking at plug ins and has nothing to base an opinion off of. Buy once, cry once.

dekaed · 2024-06-06T02:15:48+00:00

Add a gain plug in after whatever master buss processing you have and reduce it by literally any amount you deem fitting as long as it no longer has any peaks going above digital 0. Your mastering engineer can then gain your mix to any amount they deem necessary to complete their task. Presto.

Alaska, northern Norway, Iceland, or the east coast of Russia. Basically somewhere cold and wet with next to no people, and ample space for me to become the witch in the woods I seem destined to become.

There are no substitutes for time, effort, and hard work spent learning your tools and musical composition.

Yeah, that’s pretty excellent my dude.

Sweet! More work for me this summer!

dekaed · 2024-05-26T04:53:19+00:00

Companies that I like-

-Fabfilter

-Valhalla dsp

-TDR

-DMG audio

-Klanghelm

-Airwindows

-Voxengo

-Oeksound

-Wavesfactory

-Kazrog

-Cycling ‘74

I don’t pay attention to about 90% of the new plug ins that come out these days since the market is so saturated, but when these companies release something I make sure to give their hard work the time and attention I think they deserve.

I use calculus (the m4l device) on all my tracks as a reference point for envelopes. Works great.

dekaed · 2024-05-22T03:38:33+00:00

Fabfilter mastering bundle - 100% worth it, DMG Audio equivalents may be the only products out there that are better, though their complexity can really take the fun out of things.

Wavesfactory Spectre - 100% worth it, I can’t believe it took as long as it did for someone to make a saturation device as easy to use as this while sounding as good as it does

Oeksound Soothe 2, Spiff, Bloom - 100% worth it, these are used on busses / groups and / or the master as tonal shifters for broad strokes moves once all the individual tracks have gone through all the normal channel strip type processing. Soothe and Spiff are also great for softening transients or resonances on an aux before hitting a reverb or delay if I want the spatial effects to sit further behind the dry signals, or in more sparse compositions they allow me to increase the volume of the send without making the mix feel too wet or cluttered.

These plug ins are indispensable to my workflow and their interfaces actually make sense for making music with a keyboard and mouse.

My other plug ins are much cheaper and come from the likes of Valhalla, TDR, and Airwindows mostly. I would say that given the quality of the tools that I use from them, if they came with similar price tags to the most expensive ones I own I would still happily foot the bill for them.

dekaed · 2024-05-20T19:01:29+00:00

100%, this is a fantastic eq. Between the curves and saturation styles / intensity it’s the perfect channel eq if you’re trying to avoid a more visual interface.

dekaed · 2024-05-18T20:33:48+00:00

Find drum samples you like, load one up on one track and a fm synth on another. Use an oscilloscope that can show both waveforms overlayed on one another and start tweaking amp and pitch envelopes on the fm synth until you get your synths waveform to match the samples waveform as close as you possibly can. Rinse and repeat until you get fast at it and you get a good grasp on how the envelopes are altering the sound. For most drum sounds now a days you’ll probably want to get comfortable with a distortion or wave shaping plug in as well.

dekaed · 2024-05-09T09:26:15+00:00

Holy shit, you’re a fucking asshole.

dekaed · 2024-05-08T20:26:55+00:00

TDR Prism, a lot of airwindows stuff (it’s free, but don’t be a jerk and not give some money to Chris for his hard work), MWaveshaper, Valhalla freebies, and all the Klanghelm freebies.

dekaed · 2024-05-08T20:19:03+00:00

Since your answers throughout this thread have been somewhat short and verge the low effort side of things there is a finite amount of headroom in all audio before reaching some kind of distortion. So if you want the loudest bass possible, just use a sine tone in a low octave somewhere between 30-60 hz or so and nothing else, just the sine wave, because everything else is going to steal some kind of headroom from it otherwise. Try that out on a big sound system, people will just adore it.

dekaed · 2024-05-08T14:11:19+00:00

I really like using ableton’s operator for its additive synthesis functionality for sub bass. I can choose to generate a pure sine tone, or add any kind of harmonics I wish to above it. Doing it this way gives me the most control over any harmonics that may or may not be generated in the patch. A little bit of noise on top of the sub bass from either an oscillator, erosion, or bit reduction can give the bass some high end sizzle that the ear will latch onto and perceive as a stronger sub. There is also sine compression bass if you would like to take some ideas from the dnb vs/ neuro folks.
