i love your videos man. if you get a chance check out youtube.com/thebreakmonster i'm a drummer. new to vimeo and sorry for the shameless self promotion.

Yes!!!

These are defintiely some of the best tutorials I've seen. Very comprehensive and much more interesting than the average tuts.

Good work. Excellent music!

Sick track! Thanks for sharing your process. I'd love to hear the whole track if you have it up somewhere.

This is amazing. I have never seen tutorials this in-depth!
Unfortunately, my mac died after being down for the count in 2010, so I'm stuck to ableton on my PC! I hope I can afford a new one soon so I can run logic again and try all these bells and whistles. I must have been blind or not understood what a multipressor was at the time!

This tutorial is incrdible, i was not expecting the awesomness of that track! Holy crap!

Brian- your videos have helped me greatly in recent months. I suspect the reason for differences when recombining with EQ vs. MP is like you said. The MP is applying a literal vertical cut at the freq x-over when soloing like that. In the EQ there is always going to be a non-vertical slope, like an asymptote. So if you apply a cut in EQ with the highest slope possible, it will always be at least slightly different sounding when recombined. I use this trick almost religously simply because so much can be done with it. Applying say an autofilter to the hi band and pitch mod from an LFO in the mid can sound quite wicked if done right. Also I'm glad you use Hybrid for some examples. Those dudes know how to hit the sweet spot, and that is the style I would like to build from.

Justin - a multipressor should generally be applied further towards the end of the signal chain, but should be used only if you NEED different compression levels in certain bands. Brain was just using it to get the bands exact with soloing, which was not the intended purpose, but it works, and I don't know of any other tools that can split bands like that, which seems silly. Honestly I didn't know what it was until a few months ago, then it dawned on me. Multiband compressor. DUH!

I've actually been using multi-band gating for quite a while, just never knew there was a term for it, and I had been using EQ the whole time. Thanks Brian for helping all of us realize MPs are better used for that function! PEACE K
