Learn Dave Darlington's techniques for achieving his Grammy-winning sound with Waves plugins, including EQ, compression, reverb, delay and modulation, and mastering.
- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Dave Darlington. Welcome to Mixing Techniques with Waves Plugins. In this course I'll share with you my go-to techniques for tone shaping with the Renaissance EQ, Q Series and several of the awesome Hardware EQ emulations. (female vocals) Then I'll cover some of my approaches to compression and dynamics processing using the CLA Series emulations with the classic LA2A, LA3A, the 1176 and others and some advanced techniques like multiband and sidechain compression.
Next, I'll show you how to create sonic ambiance and a sense of space with a few of Waves' killer reverb plugins. (clarinet music) We'll also look at some time-based effects including H-Delay and Super-Tap and some really fun tools for creating modulation effects and movement in new tracks using MondoMod and MetalFlanger and MetaFilter. Then there's my desert island survival kit, plugins I use every day for sculpting character into a variety of tracks and fine-tuning the stereo imaging.
Finally, we'll finish up with some mastering techniques to help you bring new mixes up to world-class competitive standards. So let's dive in to some of my favorite Mixing Techniques using Waves Plugins.
