Groove3 Brainworx Mastering Plugins In-Action TUTORiAL

Join production wizard Larry Holcombe for a look at how to use several Brainworx mastering plug-ins in your own productions in a variety of ways - from balancing frequencies to adding saturation, and more! By incorporating three tracks from different genres (rock, dance, and hip-hop), you will acquire a diverse set of skills and tools that you can use in various scenarios, all with the sole use of Brainworx plugs. This Brainworx mastering plugins video course is designed for those who know the basics of their DAW and routing and want to improve the sound of their masters using Brainworx plugins.

Larry kicks things off by working on a rock track, demonstrating how to use the bx_digital V3 EQ plug to balance the track and increase the 3D space feel. Then learn how to apply some saturation (bx_saturator) and limiting (bx_XL V3), in combination with the previous EQ moves, to bring it all together. A dance track follows, in which Larry demonstrates how to use EQ and saturation to enhance the low end and vocal exposure. Then you'll see how to add limiting to raise the volume to the proper level while enhancing the feel of the groove.

Finally, you'll see Larry work with a hip-hop track, using EQ and saturation to balance the frequencies and bring out detail in some of the instruments, along with more limiting to bring the track up to the final level.
