Mixing plugin recommendation/tip
Added 2021-06-03 10:32:01 +0000 UTCMixing and mastering yet another house song.
A quick plugin tip of the day: Gullfoss EQ by Soundtheory.
Or I guess it's not an EQ in the traditional sense that you can move nodes around. It's a really interesting plugin, as it can both boost and tame things, and also just add brightness. It's one of those automatic/intelligent tools.
I'm still not a master of it, and I'm still learning, but I've been using it increasingly, sometimes to brighten things a bit, correct a curve a tad, or see how it tames things (it does have a Tame parameter as well as Recover and Brighten).
TIP: You can actually hone in on the range you want to treat, so it doesn't treat everything.
When something's harsh, try messing with the Tame parameter roughly around the range where you think the problem lies.
Taming a ride track today that's a bit harsh, and it works well. It's best to use it in moderation: very easy to overdo, but gotta find the sweet spot.
You may ask if it can replace Soothe or ProQ3, and I'd say no, as it can do the same thing they can, in a way, and more – in a way. They also just released a "Live" version for mixing, so it's a bit lighter.
Def try it out.
