Description : Find out how Dave Darlington achieves his Grammy sound with the help of the Waves plugins. First, Dave covers the equalization techniques, “rising to cut” notch filtering, tone creation, and hardware emulators. Further, he discusses compression, including multiband compression, side chains, and hardware emulators. He then goes on to reverb, shows how to use the basic algorithms and parameters of various types of reverbs to create a sound atmosphere and a sense of space. Then, Dave covers the delays and modulation effects, including the usual delays, flangers, and some techniques for adding bottoms, widths, and crunch with the mix. Finally, he will look at some of the basics of mastering, including master bus compression, master bus equalization, and maximizing the output level.
Learn how Dave Darlington achieves his Gram-winning sound with Waves plugins. First, Dave covers, tone sculpting, and hardware emulation. Next, he discusses compression, including automatic levelers, multiband compression, side chaining, and hardware emulation. He moves to the reverbs, and he moves to the reverb. Then, it’s possible to make it possible to make a difference. Finally, it will include, for example, the master buss compression and the maximizing the output level.
