I'm quite interested in your advices regarding using genitals for mixing when you are in a hurry.Ploki wrote: Sat Dec 14, 2024 8:26 am ya know after doing this for a while, it becomes pretty clear from posts who does this daily and who doesn't.
when you have a deadline and more work than you can possibly manage in a week, you don't f**k around with "self limits" and "using channel strips for half a year" and whatever the f**k, you use tools that get you where you want to the fastest and you use your ears, eyes, legs, arms, genitals and bowels if you have to to wrap it up in time.
This is finally the beginning of an interesting conversation and I'm always interested in new mixing techniques (who really cares about ProQ4 ?).
Joke apart I'm agree with you and the other posters. When I need to deliver, I usually use the few plugins I'm confident with, that I know work great (ProQ3 being part of them).
When I'm unemployed, I can experiment and explore the stupid hundreds of plugins I've got on my hard drive to see if compressor "24" is grooving better than compressor "9", even if I know I will use TrackComp again and again each time I've got a deadline because it works 95% of the time.
I usually don't care much about differences in EQs : they all sound the same to me. At least, I feel the differences are not worth any detailed sonic investigation on my free time (I did that few years ago, and the differences in quality I found between all the demoed EQs were so tiny that I was not sure they were actually existing). Workflow and features are everything in an EQ - workflow being the most important part of any analog emulation, like a channel strip (mixing with no analyzer being part of the workflow).
. I'm sure it's still a great tool for people who mix and master professionally, but for enthusiasts like myself who only need basic resonance suppression tools, Pro Q 4 is sure to deliver here and there are other great features, particularly the use/view all instances workflow, that also make it a worthwhile upgrade.
