I couldn't agree more with you 😂

People don’t spend enough on monitors.. take that money you saved on the converters and try some HEDD Type 20s now those make a difference! 🎉 EVO 16 sounds like a great deal and converters have come a long way so I think you’ll be happy with it. And most important works for your system.

That sucks, i liked some metric halo stuff. Good subhaemonic generator

Yea, even though I’m a Mac guy, I think that UA really needs to get their stuff together with Windows support. If you ever get time, I’d personally love to hear more details about what you didn’t like about the Apollo DSP and conversion. Congrats on the new facility!

Human perception, i think is the Fletcher Munson curve

Thanks for the video! I think you need to provide more detail about the delta signal - what actual level is it? And what does it sound like? If the delta signal is "the difference" wouldn't you expect it to be relatively small. For example, if you use a limiter with a delta function the audible delta can be quite tiny (e.g. transient peaks), yet the effect on the signal can still be clearly audible. Cheers!

Hey Paul! Just found out your channel and already subscribed. Great content! I am wondering if you are still using the L30 II with the DX7, or is the hp amp on the DX7 the same as the L30 or better? Cheers!

Best of luck with your checkup man! Health comes first!!

I think you missed the HF limiter on the plugin which can only be seen or tested with adjusting/sliding the frequency on the PD's Dynamic page. The transfer curve changes and getting more aggressive starting from 2kHz going higher, meaning the high frequency will always get soft-clipped first or more sensitive to high frequency which clearly suggesting it's not just a "simple" waveshaper behavior-wise. The HF-Adjust is there to compensate the lost high frequency, smart. We all know the Cubase's Magneto is not just a simple waveshaper because of the HF Limiter, read somewhere the hardware's DSP and Cubase's Magneto were designed by the same group of people, no ? correct me if i'm wrong.

Basically, this went over my head. :D

Knowledge wins again! Thank you Paul. Sonnox Oxford Inflator vs MSaturator for Soft Clipping?... Preference? ~

Almost bought this!! this vid helps me see what it does to the signal

Now that you've uploaded "MIXHEAD NULLS ON VARIOUS MIXBUS PRESETS (inc hard clipping & HF adjust using linear phase eq)" and deleted it's safe to assume that you'll give us another heads up video about how you won't talk about plugins again? :D It's okay though. We love you

guys click on the join button and support this guy please. i need more videos of him. he is the only honest engineer we got on youtube. lets gooo. i just clicked. 💟

I m a Paul Third fan. i swear after watching these vids i m amazed how honest he is. maybe only a few honest guys left in the industry. and he is one of them.

Marketing is also a way of promoting evil We are just purely sick human beings and thank your religion for brainwashing us to this level of evil

This test is a lot like setting up two compressors with the gain matched and both thresholds above the point at which compression happens, then saying they null. Once the gain reduction kicks in, they absolutely won’t. You can’t really count on tests like this to be scientifically accurate because of the dynamic nature of sound (and dynamic action of MixHead). Once you hit the sweet spot of MixHead, you won’t be able to null mSaturator to it. And RMS levels going into it are important. Not so much peak/dBFS. Full disclosure: I purchased MixHead and it’s a subtle effect but it’s very good. Audio is a game of nanometers-not inches- sometimes.

As one of the people who made one of the videos you mentioned talking about how much I like the plugin, I just have a couple points I want to make. 1: I bought the plugin at full price with my own money. The video wasn't sponsored at all, and I didn't even get a NFR for the plugin. 2: I have been telling people since I got this plugin that it isn't reinventing the wheel. It has a sound (that many people know and love), and it does that sound very well. 3: I actually mentioned in my video that you could get similar results of Mixhead from other saturation and clipping plugins, but Mixhead does it really well VERY quickly 4: I don't think Make Believe and Metric Halo have marketed this as a completely new idea that will absolutely transform a mix. In my observation, they've always told people this is an emulation of a unique digital tape emulator (the Machine Head). They said themselves that this is a completely digital sound. 5: I think that the benefit of this plugin is that it's simple, the GUI is easy, there's only a few knobs, and it always sounds great. Sure, you could dive into free and stock limiters, clippers, saturators, and harmonic enhancers but you'd mess around for 30-45 minutes to get a result that you get in about 45 seconds with Machine Head. I think that these deep dives into plugins are great to show what the plugins actually do, but they always GROSSLY underestimate one of the most important things that professionals keep in mind when they buy a plugin, convenience and reliability. This plugin is quick and easy to use, has a very specific sound, and it's almost impossible to ruin a mix with this plugin. That makes it worth the money for anyone wanting to achieve the harmonic, bright, slightly glued sound that MixHead delivers. At the end of the day, there are THOUSANDS of plugins out there. Some are revolutionary. Some are absolute garbage. Most fall in the middle where they do something well but improve on things like workflow, reliability, etc. Mixhead falls there for me. Great saturator that does what I need with no fuss.

Good Day Would you please test the DMG audio track comp .

I wonder what the driver support is like...

There are no shortcuts in stuff that should vibe bro. it might give you an initial sense of wow someone is doing my work better than me, but its an illusion. stay analog an work with your ears and tools. it will end up more vibey. especially when you hear it years later. All the hocus pocus plugs are the sound of lifelessness

Great to hear you're results came back negative Paul, that must've been tough waiting to hear. Thank you for this and your other video's. I used to wonder why these plugin companies are ripping us off, but of course, it's simply about money and how far any particular company will go in terms of propaganda and sophistry to fool the unwary. I stopped buying plugins a while ago now, the low and medium hanging fruit in terms of what plugins can bring to the end result was all done some time ago. I guess a lot of what's left is shaving off time and optimising workflow, but most folks aren't bothered that much because they're not in a pro studio where time is very much money.

3:14 he didn't make these presets btw... this is literally the ozone 4 factory preset "three band master instrumental w/slow dynamics"

nice, i feel like an idiot now for buying 🙃

I replicated the Mixhead with Fuse Audio Labs Flywheel + EQ. Done. Stupid plugin.

Plugin industry is one big scam. Haven’t bought plugins in years since Q-Clone. I’m not paying all that money for just curves and a few (odd)harmonics.

It’s pricey, but here’s why I keep buying their plugins when there’s other companies that make the same things for cheaper: 1- workflow is everything. If a plug-in does a few things well that I always do for every session with 0 fat, then it goes to the top of my list. THIS CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED FOR ME. 2- this company is one of the absolute best at long term support. I’m down to about 4 companies that I trust for this. 3- it’s not some giant company, it’s a handful of people, and I’ll support that every single chance I get. No lies weee told by them regarding this plug-in. The dude sounds like this was something he was genuinely proud of, for himself, and I believe him. People are excited about it. I don’t think anybody here is out to get people.

Good job, Paul!

My favorite youtube channel:) thank you for not promoting products 💕💕💕

Paul Third💕i m a beginner mixing engineer but a producer with 10 years experience. I use apollo twin and apollo solo. Do I still need topping? I dont mind paying to get a better detailed sound and quality experience, I love what I do. I wanted to know is it for people who dont own an audio interface?

I did buy this and I have been really enjoying it! However I always appreciate getting more insight into what stuff is actually doing. Clearly this plug isn’t super complicated or flashy, which I think was kinda obvious for anyone who’s been using it… but good for info like this to be out there. I still reckon (on sale) it’s a good buy. I like the simplicity. However I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s a secret sauce. Secret sauce is putting in the hours and finding your way.

Hope all is good with your tests, Paul! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥

God bless You! Jesus I trust in You

My Grandfather was a great golfer and one day I asked him why he didn't use the new titanium oversized drivers and super expensive golf balls. He told me because he had used his clubs for years and knew exactly how they would effect his swings, so while the guys with the lastest tech might hit father off the tee they never learned their tools well enough to achieve the accuracy that he could and would always beat them to the hole through experience and control. That lesson can be applied to so many crafts, especially in this age of endless consumerism... learn to use the tools you have instead of perpetually searching for a piece of gear to give you some handicapped advantage to make up for lack of skill and experience 🫡

Are you on Mac now, Paul?

You destroyed that plugin

Important video not just regarding this plugin but in general. Thank you

I’ve been bamboozled 😢

lol

Standard clip soft clip pro :)

Great video! Just what I needed!

Great news on your medical results showing no cancer. Regarding your melda replication, have you tried testing both the Mixhead and your version on the mix bus to see how audibly they compare? If your Melda version sounds the same then that's a saving right there

Did you know that if you use a waveshaping plugin that allows you to import your own wavetables, you can essentially copy 1 for 1 any distortion or saturation hardware/plugin, this one included 💀😭

HF Dip is due to pre-emphasis filters used (boost high end before distortion and cut back after), like on tape machines.

Metric halo? I haven’t heard about that company for well over a decade! They were badass back in the day for their channel strip plugin when no one was doing quality clean easy to use digital channel strips. These days it is outdated. I guess they gotta make new stuff at some point to stay relevant and in business. Sadly they missed the mark here it seems. Thanks for your detailed in-depth look at this plugin i’ve never heard of and will now avoid. Always love seeing videos like this before i hear about the hype. Also as far as aliasing is concerned I’m less concerned with that these days as i still use decapitator as my go to saturation plugin and it has aliasing, just still sounds great! Oh great to hear you don’t have cancer!

Now that's the old Paul third I was missing. Giving it to me straight man.

I've arrived! Everything Paul said I understood! Praise him! Not you Paul.. the big man... well done again PT

i've never heard of serban ghenea before and it turns out he's a massive mixer for pop music. 1400 releases under his belt. and (besides a few singles) i have not listened to a single one of them all the way through, so no wonder i had not heard of him. he apparently mixed Colors by Beck, which we had to mix ourselves for production college; i always thought the official version of that song sounded like shit

i actually cackled at 8:40 when the entire song vanished

Never lead with shouting..🤬
