In this video I dispel the myth that you can't get a good mix using only the stock plugins that shipped with your DAW. Whether you use Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Reason, Sonar, Studio One, or any other piece of software you have some GREAT plugins already included. So use them!

  • Very Well Ranted !!! Great work!

    Graham, you sound like an educated Dane Cook ... Great stuff !!

  • @dmoates420 - Very cool. Thanks!

  • @bobbo924B he is using the command click to bypass the plug in but then adding the option key also to make that function happen on all tracks. Generally everything in pro tools you can press option to have it happen in all tracks.

  • THANK YOU! I've been trying to tell people this for ages. If you buy different plug-ins, it should primarily be for the specific flavor, sound, or features those plug-ins offer, not because it's impossible to make a song sound good without them. People need to focus on the fundamentals first so that they can serve as a solid foundation when they do go out and buy new stuff be it plug-ins or hardware. Technique is everything.

  • nicely said.

  • One stock plug-in that I personally don't use is the Avid D-Verb. It sometimes changes the melodic pitch of the reverb... it goes up and down in waves. which sucks, in my opinion.

  • excellent! Graham!
