Chapter 4 : BussPressor
-
7:23
UI and Controls
The UI and controls of BussPressor are shown here when used either on an insert channel or on a master buss.
-
5:10
BussPressor in Action
BussPressor is shown here in use to compress a percussion loop and acoustic guitar using the various functions it offers to 'glue' two components of a mix together. Parallel compression is also seen and heard in action in combination with using the high pass filter.
Chapter 5 : MixBass
-
5:48
CTRL Functions
The MixBass plug-in is introduced and how it is used to enhance the 'low end' of a mix. Here, we'll focus on the CTRL section of the 5 combined processors.
-
6:10
Compression Controls
Here, you'll see how to further use MixBass by looking at the compression controls section in combination with a frequency analyzer.
-
5:43
Character and Punch
Learn how to use the 'Character' and 'Punch' sections - linked to the 'Compression' section - to modify the sound further with enhancements to the low end of an audio file.

4:20
Final Parameters
Watch how to use the final stage parameters to enhance the low frequencies within an audio file. Use of the OUT CUT filter helps keep the enhancement under control.
Chapter 6 : MixTreble2
-
6:28
Hiss Remover
See here how to use MixTreble to compliment MixBass. We start here by using the 'Hiss Remover' section to not only remove hiss, but to also tame very high frequencies and, consequently, flatter the audio further.
-
3:40
Transients and Enhancer
Once audio has had its hiss reduced, the next stage of controlling the transients and sonically enhancing it is looked at here.
-
5:53
Harmonics
Watch as the 'Harmonics' section is put into use to generate extra high frequency content that isn't present in the original audio.
Chapter 7 : MixPressor2
-
8:48
Controls
Designed to be used on single audio files or full mixes; here you'll be introduced to the MixPressor controls.
-
2:40
MixPressor2 in Action
See and hear MixPressor in use to warm up and compress a mixed song with suggestions why the decisions are made within a busy mix.
-
6:10

See and hear MixSaturator in use by extending the high end frequency controls.
Chapter 9 : MixGate2
-
4:38
Gate Controls
Learn the UI controls present in MixGate to either cut or reduce the volume level of 'silent' areas. Additionally, see how MixGate can be set with high and low pass filters to gate specific frequency areas for further control.
-
3:19

Here you'll see and hear how to sonically focus in on specific elements within a file to isolate audio for further processing.
-
4:01
Further Parameters
Further parameters not detailed in the previous tutorial are covered here to complete our look at MixGate.
Chapter 10 : Wrap Up
Product Overview
Do you use PSP Audioware dynamics plug-ins? Well, Mark Struthers has you covered! Learn what every button, feature and function does on the entire range of high quality, amazing sounding dynamics plug-ins from PSP Audioware, as well as audio examples so you can hear what they actually do!
Mark begins with the famous Vintage Warmer plug-in suite and all of their controls and functions. He shows you the differences between them and how their different modes like singleband and multi-band work. Mastercomp plug-ins are next and Mark digs deep explaining how they work and shows you them "in action" when using them as a sidechain compressor and more.
Next, Mark travels down memory lane with Oldtimer and explains the different emulation modes and how to apply them to your source audio. Busspressor is then explored and shown as both an insert and on the master buss for different types of "glue". Mixbass and Mixtreble2 are then revealed and Mark leaves no stone unturned. You'll also see and hear them used to enhance and flatter the harmonic content of your audio adding character, punch and sizzle.
Mark then finishes up with Mixpressor2, Mixsaturator2 and Mixgate2. All are closely examined and then shown in real-world situations that may arise in your sonic travels. A "Wrap Up" tutorial is presented and Mark showcases the PSP Xeon to craftily limit an audio file, raising its volume without clipping.
