I do a lot of other things too.I write, run an indie record label.help artists get developed, consult on building recording studios, produce, engineer.mix.īut more than anything.I master albums for independent artists.
(Fun's We Are Young used the "Aftermaster" process we designed as a finalizer for example.) Tech award.resulting in other people winning Grammy's a few times over with what we were working on.
#METAL SLATE FGX SOFTWARE#
I'm not a famous engineer with several Grammy's, though I have worked for a high profile software developer (Studio One Media) years ago, and one of the primary functions of what we developed was a mastering process which won a U.S. Overall I would definitely recommend this product.īefore we get started on this review I want to go into some back-story on myself. The price is also a little high, but it does something I think a lot of other plug-ins don't do: Makes your mix loud while maintaining a dynamic feel.
#METAL SLATE FGX MANUAL#
You really need to read the manual to get the sound you want, but it's an easy read.
#METAL SLATE FGX INSTALL#
The leveler section is very CPU intensive, so you may not be able to use it in-session if your computer isn't powerful enough of if your session already has a lot going on.Īlso, unlike other plug-ins, the FG-X isn't one where you can just install and use it successfully right away. This will save you from getting tricked into thinking the leveler is changing the sound when it's really just making the mix louder. When enabled you can adjust the gain as much as you want, but the output volume will stay the same. All the transients of the drums and even the guitars hit really hard, making the mix feel very punchy and dynamic.Īnother great feature is the "Constant Gain Monitoring" button. I have mainly used it for aggressive styles of music and the Hard ITP settings work really well. It also has an ITP slider (Intelligent Transient Preservation) that allows you to adjust between Hard and Smooth transients. It also has a dynamic perception knob, which what it does is right in the name, and it works really well. Turning the knobs up lets the transients attack more, thus making the mix much more punchy. It has LoPunch and Detail transient knobs that allow you to adjust how it will react to low and high frequency transients, mainly the kick and snare. However, the leveling section of the FG-X is the part that makes it great. It helps tame the mix before the final leveling stage. It can get the mixes very loud while maintaining a dynamic feel. The FG-X is the best mastering processor I have used to date.
