Groove3 Creative Mixing with Adaptive Plugins Explained

If you're looking to take full advantage of newer mixing tools like dynamic EQ, frequency-based compression, and the like, this is the course for you! Mixing guru Thomas Cochran will teach you several techniques for handling problem areas, layering sounds, shaping transients, achieving balance, and more with adaptive plugins like Soothe2, Trackspacer, and Pro-Q 3, to name a few. By the end of the course, you'll have a new appreciation of everything these plugins can accomplish, along with the skills to exploit them in your own productions. These videos are designed for users that are new to these types of plugins.

Thomas begins by demonstrating how to use Soothe2 as a frequency-specific compressor, similar to that of multi-band compression, to help achieve balance in your mixes. You'll also see how Soothe2 can accomplish advanced side-chaining effects and help provide clarity in your low end. A similar idea is then illustrated with Trackspacer.

Next, Thomas demonstrates how SurferEQ can effectively balance the low end, which is particularly beneficial for bass and vocals, before exploring dynamic equalization with Pro-Q 3. This allows for all the main elements in the mix to stay present without getting cluttered and muddy - perfect for layering many sounds together. To finish up, Thomas demonstrates how to EQ the mix bus with Spectre and Spiff, shaping transients and harmonics to provide the final touches.

These adaptive plugins are powerful tools and are capable of much more than many people realize. With this mixing course, you'll learn how to utilize each to its fullest in your own productions and mixes.
