Groove3 Adding Impact to Your Sounds Explained TUTORIAL
Do you struggle with sounds that seem weak, sterile, or anemic? You’ve come to the right place. In this music production video course, studio wiz Thomas Cochran will show you several practical ways to combat these issues with several different plugins, including compressors, transient shapers, EQs, saturation, clippers, and more. You’ll learn how to identify issues and address them with dependable methods that deliver consistent results, providing increased punch and clarity to lifeless tracks. These music production videos are designed for intermediate mixing engineers who are looking to improve the sound of their tracks and mixes.
Thomas begins by examining the Hitsville EQ Collection (Universal Audio), demonstrating how it can beef up the low end of the drums and bass by enhancing the strength of transients through EQ and saturation.

Next, Thomas teaches you the invaluable technique of restoring transients to an overly compressed vocal—an all-too-common issue—using Spiff (Oeksound), followed by a demonstration of using parallel distortion with Decapitator (Soundtoys) to increase the punch and attack on drums and bass. Other topics include using multi-band distortion with Saturn 2 (FabFilter) and employing clipping with StandardCLIP (SIR Audio Tools).
