Thanks for another video man!! I always love learning from you!

[@ProducingInTheBox]

Thank you! I love teaching this stuff!

[@kronosse]

Awesome vieo, each to his own.
Gain staging was made so much easier in Studio One I just use it..quick no hassles. Not trying to reinvent the wheel.

[@4dmind]

That's exactly what I do - I always assumed I was just being lazy.

Clip to Zero is all you need 😃

Dynamics? What are those? 🤘😂

[@1loveMusic2003]

The thresholds on the plugins aren't set for the new level. You can reduce level and compensate thresholds to get the same sound and the difference is just level. That's what thresholds are for; or am I missing something? Just curious not trolling. Like your content.

[@ProducingInTheBox]

You’re right! This concept also applies to multiple different plugins that don’t have thresholds! Also going into a compressor harder will sound different than just adjusting the threshold! Thank you for this comment!

Numbers?? what numbers?!! I just drive everything till it sounds how I want it to sound 🤪Andrew is right!!!!

“The numbers, mason… what do they mean” 😂😂😂🤘

It is fine for a seasoned engineer like Scheps to throw caution to the wind because he understands what is salvageable/reversible and what isn’t. The amount of young kids I meet trying to get into the studios I work at who see stuff like this and think they already know everything and/or think “none of that stuff really matters just go with feel” and then fuck things up irreversibly is mindblowing.
Secondly, Finneas ain’t a mix engineer, or even an engineer at all, so who cares what his advice on that is? Songwriting maybe? But they’ve had two flops now since Billie’s second record - and everything he does without her sucks.

[@ProducingInTheBox]

3 things.
1: Digitally, nothing is irreversible.
2: We should absolutely allow young artists to mess things up. It’s all a part of learning. Unless they’re breaking equipment, let some songs get ruined. My biggest lessons were learned during these times.
3: I said his best music production advice. He’s responsible for billions and billions of streams and billions are not related to Billie at all. BUT. He engineered Grammy award winning albums from his home studio… so he’s absolutely worth listening to at some point for me. I like the way his stuff sounds. But if you don’t, that’s okay! Music is an art. By definition, not everyone should love it!

@@ProducingInTheBox Young kids thinking they know better while begging for internships is kind of a problem. They’re terrible studio employees because they’re not there to learn and grow, they just want the clout of working at a studio so they can posture as a producer. People like Scheps and all other professionals at his calibre worked hard for 10+ years as unrecognised assistants, students, uncredited producers to get the place they’re at and their experience allows them to break the rules in an informed way. So while to Andrew “not gain staging” may mean not painstakingly calibrating your inputs/outputs to be hitting at the perfect prescribed levels… to a beginner that ends up translating to every fader at -40dB with 10 mastering plugins putting gain back at the end - and they’ve interpreted his advice as “yeah fuck it, it doesn’t even matter!”
It’s stupid to put advice like that out of context like that here.
