I’m thinking about starting a “Plugin of the Week” type of series, where each week I break down a plugin I’ve been using or recently discovered and explain why I find it useful.
Along with that, I’d like to share tips, tricks, and workflow techniques I’ve picked up during the week, including more advanced or “pro” techniques I’ve found myself or picked up from Mix With The Masters and other engineers.
The idea would be to keep it practical and focused on real-world mixing situations, not just marketing hype, what the plugin actually does well, when to use it, and how it fits into a mix.
———————————-
Along with the Plugin of the Week idea, I also wanted to give a bit of background about myself so you know where I’m coming from.
I’m 20 years old, based in Romania, and I’ve been mixing for about 4 years. I’ve worked across different genres like rock, trap, rap, and pop, including full projects and albums. I mostly mix in Pro Tools and have built up a pretty solid plugin collection over time.
I had the chance to assist on some bigger songs and work alongside some really good engineers in studio environments, which helped me learn a lot about real world mixing and workflows.
I’d love to share some of the tips and techniques I’ve picked up, and I think it could be a win–win situation, I get to learn more by sharing and getting feedback, and hopefully others get something useful out of it too.
I’m curious if this is something people here would find helpful or interesting. Any feedback, suggestions, or things you’d want to see covered?
I say go for it! Sounds like a YouTube channel to me...
Thanks! I’ll start with posts here and see what people respond to most.
Im more of a reading type of guy myself, so im all for it! Just make sure to have screenshots if you do it. Very interested in it
So.. what’s the plugin of this week..?
Probably the Kiive VX-Q, but I guess that was last week, or the week before.
And I’ll place my vote on Nudistort
Do it! I would be very interested
Plenty of people do this on YouTube, I would recommend finding a niche that you want to cover, whether it’s guitar amp sims, mastering plugins, or plugins for a specific genre, if you are too broad it will probably be boring.
There is Mixing with Mike - Plugin of the week, but he doesn’t seem to upload much nowadays.
