No idea where to start with these things!

Throw the VMR on your guitar tracks and mess with the parametric EQ's and that red compressor, for starters.

Word. My iLok won't be here for a bit. It just shipped today.

Really looking forward to using these plug ins.

What would be good for GAB is if you fired up a couple of your clip projects you've posted here and applied a couple of the plugins on them and post a before-after thread. It will also help you to hear the difference they make.

Happy New Plugins Day!!!

I don't care what anyone says, plugins are fun !!!

VMR with an instance of VCC on every channel, VTM after. Toss some EQs into the VMR instances. Bus compressors on every sub-mix bus kissing the peaks. VTM on the main out just touching the red at the high points.

Yeah I will definitely do that. I am editing 4 vids for Henning and it'll be nice to have this stuff on the full mix recordings.

Yeah man, they sure are! I don't know WHY I held off so long.

DAMMIT, JER!

VMR = Virtual Mix Rack, where you start
VCC = Virtual Console Collection, best placed inside an instance of the Virtual Mix Rack, where you can also add EQ, compressors, etc.
Bus Compressors = the VBC/Virtual Bus Compressor collection on each submix bus (like if you tie kick and bass together on a bus, or all drums together on a bus)
VTM = Virtual Tape Machine, really adds some nice harmonic content and can be pushed hard enough to act as a subtle and musical compressor

You'll see when you fire up your DAW and start populating some channel strips how it all goes.

LOL! Ok cool.

So now would I be replacing my DAW's compressors, EQ, etc with the stuff in VMR then? This is ALL new shit for me. Please believe me when I tell you, ALL my recordings have been with the "poke and hope" method. The same goes for my guitar playing. I know how to use stuff, I just don't know what it really does...

I've replaced most of my DAW plugins with the VMR things. Though some things still work better for me with the DAW plugins themselves. Like side-chaining to get the bass to fade a bit on fast kick runs. But for the most part, the VMR stuff sounds better to me. It's a little more real sounding, a little more polished.

M. Night is waaaay more methodical and correct about using this shit than I am


my shit still sounds dope though
