Rodney DarkChild Jenkins | In The Studio | WinkSound

Grammy Award winning songwriter, record producer and musician Rodney "DarkChild" Jerkins invites us into his LA studios for a tour of the facilities where he's recorded artists such as Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Pussycat Dolls and Mary J. Blidge.

In this segment Rodney explains the different types of setups he uses and goes into detail about his favorite outboard gear such as Neve EQ's, Avalon Compressors and Auratone speakers. We'll go in depth with the software he uses like the Waves Mercury Bundle and the SSL line of plugins which help him achieve his signature sounds.

what other monitors does he use besides the auratone?

[WinkSound]

@lilkjsizzle Hi, thanks for watching! DarkChild also prefers the Yamaha NS-10 near field monitor because of it's frequency range. They are designed to be flat and represent consumer grade listening devices so if you can make your mix sound good on the NS-10's chances are your mix will translate better when played through the listeners ear phones, car stereo or home system.

Which plugin does he mention @ 4:45 ... the mastering plugin? thnx

[WiNKsound]

Hi @Sytrusze He's talking about the McDSP ML4000HD mastering plugin. It'a a high resolution limiter plugin.
