Description: Learn how Dave Darlington achieves his Grammy-winning sound using Waves plugins. First, Dave covers equalization techniques, “boost to cut” notch filtering, tone shaping, and hardware emulators. Next, he discusses compression, including multiband compression, sidechains, and hardware emulators. He then moves on to reverb, demonstrating how to use basic algorithms and parameters of various reverb types to create sonic ambience and a sense of space. Next, Dave covers delays and modulation effects, including standard delays, flangers, and some techniques for adding low end, width, and crunch to a mix. Finally, he covers some mastering basics, including master bus compression, master bus EQ, and maximizing output level. Learn how Dave Darlington achieves his Grammy-winning sound with Waves plugins. First, Dave covers EQ techniques, from boosting to cutting, notch filtering, tone sculpting, and hardware emulation. Next, he discusses compression, including automatic levelers, multiband compression, side chaining, and hardware emulation. He moves into reverb, showing how to utilize the basic algorithms and parameters of different types of reverbs to create sonic ambience and a sense of space. Then, Dave covers delay and modulation effects, including multitap delays, flangers, and some tricks for adding bottom end, width, and crunch to the mix. Finally, he’ll cover some of the basics of mastering, including master buss compression, EQing the master buss, and maximizing the output level.
