Groove3 Massenburg DesignWorks Plugins Explained [TUTORIAL]

George Massenburg is synonymous with excellence in the audio world, and in recent years, following the fame of their hardware, George Massenburg has funded “Massenburg Design Works” (MDW), with which he has realized two ground-breaking plugins whose features and quality are as outstanding as the analog hardware on which they’re based. In this MDW video course, production wizard Alberto Rizzo Schettino takes you on a deep dive into MDW’s two flagship plugins: the DRC2 compressor and the EQ6 parametric EQ. These MDW videos are designed for new Massenburg DesignWorks users.

Alberto begins with a quick overview of MDW and its plugin collection, including a bit of background on the man himself, George Massenburg. Then it’s on to the EQ6, an extremely powerful and incredibly musical-sounding parametric EQ that’s modeled after the legendary GML 8200 hardware parametric EQ. Usable on literally any audio signal, from recording to mixing and mastering, you’ll learn all the parameters and hear Alberto use it on strings, percussion, and more.

After that, it’s time to explore the DRC2, an unbelievably transparent compressor based on the GML 8900 hardware unit that will make you rethink what’s possible with a compressor. Alberto will break down all the controls and parameters so that you understand exactly how to get the sounds you want quickly and easily. Then follow along as he demonstrates the DRC2 in use on numerous sources, including piano, synths, percussion, and more.

These incredible plugins from MDW can truly reshape your perception of audio processing, and with this Massenburg DesignWorks Plugins video course, you’ll learn exactly how to get the most out of them quickly and easily. By the time you’re done with the course, you’ll be ready to start employing both plugins in your very next production like a pro, and your mixes will thank you for it!

Groove3 Arturia Pigments 5 Explained [TUTORIAL]

Join synthesizer guru Tyler Coffin for an in-depth look at Pigments 5, the latest version of Arturia’s own virtual synthesizer that packs a serious punch. You’ll get the lay of the land, including the numerous synth engines (Wavetable, Analog, Sample, Harmonic, etc.) and their parameters, along with a deep look into the usual suspects (filter, sequencer, effects, etc.), complete with numerous audio demonstrations throughout. By the end of this Pigments 5 tutorial, you’ll be ready to start using Pigments 5 in your very next track. These Pigments 5 videos are for new Pigments 5 users.

Tyler begins with a brief introduction to Pigments in general, discussing its basic architecture and providing a bit of background before giving a quick tour of the interface and demonstrating some fundamental characteristics of the instrument. Then you’ll learn about Play View, which provides a streamlined, uncluttered look designed for quick performances with only surface-level editing.

Next, explore the various synthesis engines available, each of which provides a different set of parameters for near-limitless sound creation possibilities. Whereas the Analog engine emulates a standard three-oscillator approach, the Wavetable and Harmonic engines provide completely different tools for sonic exploration. The Sample engine brings recorded samples into the fray, and the Utility engine adds another set of tools for experimentation, such as a noise generator, an audio input (for processing external sounds), and more.

Over the rest of the course, you’ll learn about the remaining components of Pigments 5, including the filters, modulation possibilities (MIDI, envelopes, LFOs, etc.), Sequencer/Arpeggiator, effects, the preset browser, and more! To close out the course, Tyler takes you through the process of building three different archetypal sounds from scratch: Bass, Lead, and Pad.

If you’re looking to make Pigments 5 a central player in your studio, you need to watch this course! There’s no easier, quicker way to become fluent with all of its sections and parameters, not to mention have fun in the process. Check out the individual Pigments 5 video tutorial descriptions for more information and ideas about how you can integrate it into your workflow. A brave new world of synthesis awaits…Watch “Pigments 5 Explained®” today!

What You Will Learn:

  • History, basic architecture, and interface layout
  • How to use the different synthesis engines (Analog, Wavetable, Sample, Harmonic, Utility) to create a near-limitless array of sounds

Boz Digital Labs Pan Knob 2 v2.0.8 [WIN]

By | March 1, 2024

Boz Digital Labs Pan Knob v2.0.0 [WIN & macOSX]

Boz Digital Labs Pan Knob 2 v2.0.8 [WIN]

Panning is one of the most basic mixing tools we have, and it’s included in every DAW. So why a Pan Knob plugin? Simple answer: because it sounds way better, especially in headphones. Longer answer: Keep reading.

Why Change a Bread and Butter Effect?

Traditional panning works by adjusting the volume on your right and left channels to move where it sounds in the stereo field. Simple enough. But there’s a major problem with this: It sounds really sucky on headphones when you pan things wide. Why? Because in the real world, sound never shows up in just one ear, unless it’s a mosquito.

Pan Knob fixes this by adding a couple extra dimensions to your pan control.

  1. It keeps low frequencies unpanned. This simulates the natural effect of your head filtering the high frequencies while letting low frequencies hit both ears.
  2. It adds a small delay to simulate the wave front hitting your ears at different times.

Both of these effects can be toggled on and off depending on your situation. Pan knob will do everything from traditional dumb panning to advanced natural sounding panning.

Break the Rules

Because Pan Knob lets you pan anywhere and still sound natural, you are now free to break the traditional rules of panning. You want to pan your bass to the left? Go for it. It will sound natural. You want that snare drum to come from the right without giving the listener a migraine? Have at it. The traditional panning rules no longer apply.

Just the Facts

  • Superior panning algorithm for all listening formats
  • Centers low frequencies to maintain left/right balance regardless of higher frequency positioning
  • Selectable micro delay
  • Improves mix translation
  • Selectable pan laws
  • Switch between balance and pan
  • Pan anywhere in your signal chain

Pan Knob to the Rescue

Pan Knob enables you to instantly swap pan positions of instruments, choose between Balance or Pan for stereo tracks, and select pan laws. Best of all, Pan Knob lets you depart from standard panning schemes while still sounding natural, and doesn’t cause the balance problems common to ear-bud and headphone listening. Pan Knob enables you to experiment with panning without all the tail-chasing and tradeoffs that come with moving instruments and vocals around the stereo field using traditional panners. As an added benefit, Pan Knob speeds up your workflow, which is essential for both professional and aspiring mix engineers.
