This week is the premiere of Pensado's Place with mixing engineer Dave Pensado, his manager Herb Trawick, and engineer Zan Nakari. They are joined in studio by mixing engineer Ariel Chobaz who recently worked with Nicki Minaj on her album. In this week's Into The Lair, Dave Pensado goes over some of his favorite new compressor and eq plug-ins that he uses on his mixes. They also break down the tracks for Linkin Park's 'Waiting for the End' in this week's Playback, and the group takes questions from viewers during Corner Office.

Colin McDowell demonstrates the 6030 Ultimate Compressor. The 6030 contains 10 different models that you can choose from. From very transparent "soft" compressors to very aggressive rock band compressors. The 6030 emulates some classic gear and allows you to saturate the compressor and sound like analog saturation as opposed to digital clipping. The 6030 also features some unique McDSP designs.

Colin McDowell demonstrates the Revolver convolution reverb plug-in. Revolver is a super powerful convolution reverb that comes with a large impulse response library. Revolver has many unique controls to allow to dial in and customize the impulse response. Often, an impulse response is close to what you want, but you wish that you could tweak it. Revolver gives you controls to do just that. These controls are unique and only available from McDSP. McDSP also has a large impulse response library from Revolver that you can download from their website. And, Revolver comes with two plug-ins to allow you to create impulse responses yourself.

Colin McDowell demonstrates the unique FutzBox. Typical post productions require distorted, or 'futzed' versions of dialog and other tracks. Simulations of radios, cell phones, and televisions are now available in a single software product. These simulations, called SIMs (Synthetic Impulse Models) provide accurate modeling in an extremely optimized format, allowing FutzBox to use less DSP power than conventional convolution based products. FutzBox has been used in award-winning productions such as Lost and The Kennedys. www.mcdsp.com

Colin McDowell demonstrates the ML4000 Mastering Limiter. The ML4000 contains two plugins, the ML1 Mastering Limiter and the ML4 Mastering Limiter with a multi-band dynamics section. The ML4 multi-band dynamics processor includes a 4-band Gate, Expander (upwards or downwards), and Compressor fed into the same limiter algorithm found in the ML1. Each band's Gate, Expander, and Compressor can be configured separately or linked together. The ML1 mastering limiter uses a flexible brick wall look-ahead design coupled with multiple stages of limiting for superior peak detection. The unique Knee and Mode controls allow the ML1 to handle any kind of material with a variety of responses ranging from transparent to aggressive. The ML4000 is the only mastering limiter that allows you to dial in a knee response to dial dynamics back into a limited audio signal.

Colin McDowell demonstrates the NF575 noise filter. The NF575 allows you to remove buzz and noise with super-narrow notch filters that remove the noise, but barely alter the original material. The NF575 allows you do find the fundamental of the noise, and then to automatically lock into harmonics of that fundamental. You can quickly and easily remove hum and noise from your audio without altering it.

Colin McDowell demonstrates the Channel-G analog console plug-in designed for the Avid ICON control surface. Even if you don't have an ICON, Channel-G is a great sounding plug-in that gives you easy to use 5 bands of EQ, a dynamics section and the ability to control the signal flow though the plug-in. Channel-G also has the famous "Knee" control that allows you to dial up the responses of classic gear from Neve, SSL, API and Teletronics. Channel-G also has a EQ mode control that allows you to quickly dial-up the sounds of Neve, API, SSL and other at the touch of a button.

The McDSP ML4000 Mastering Limiter plug-in really makes a world of difference to any mix by resolving overpowering frequencies and boosting perceived volume. Say you have a fly beat under some lyrically genius pirate metaphors, but the backup vocals are up front, and the track sounds like you had it mixed by a guy you met in an alley because he gave you a great deal. McDSP's ML4000 can fix any salvageable, bad mix. Stay tuned to Gearwire for more from AES.

No one knows plugins like McDSP, and no one knows McDSP plugins like Colin McDowell, so who better to introduce the new McDSP 6030 Ultimate Compressor plugin pack than the man himself? The 6030 Comp plugin is based on classic compressor models, but it doesn't stop there. As Mr. McDowell explains, they decided to take each model and tweak it with virtual mods that they'd want on the real things. The result is a collection of dynamics plugs that really only sound like themselves while still sounding 100% pro. Alongside the 6030, Colin announced AudioUnit support across the McDSP product range in the only way he knew how: with a sardonic chortle.

Colin McDowell demonstrates the DE555 de-esser plugin. The DE555 is unique in that you don't have to set a threshold for when the de-esser kicks in. This allows you to not have to add time-consuming automation on the threshhold control. All you have to do is set the frequency and range and then the DE555 will take care of the rest. A big time saver in mixing.

In the 4th episode of Pensado's Place, Dave Pensado is joined by legendary engineer and mixer Tony Maserati (Marc Anthony, James Brown, Mariah Carey, Destiny's Child, R. Kelly, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Mya, Notorious BIG, Puff Daddy, Jessica Simpson, Tupac, Jason Mraz etc.). This week's episode was devoted entirely to the passionate discussion between Dave and Tony regarding all things mixing and engineering. New plug-ins such as the Slate Digital FG-X and the Waves C6 were covered, as well as various mixing concepts, how Will.i.am is the poster child for the new breed of producer, and much more!. And as always, your questions from the chat room were taken in the "Corner Office" segment. 5:00 - Tony talks about embracing modern mixing techniques. • Automation in the DAW • Use of hardware inserts from DAW to Analog Gear. 7:00 - Dave asks Tony: what techniques do you use now with modern technology (DAW systems) that you use today? • Frequency dependent compression (multiband compression) • Compressing mid range and leaving bottom end alone and uncompressed. 11:40 - How would you treat a rap vocal (biggie) vs a pop vocal (beyonce)? 16:27 - How do you use automation in a unique way? (Talk of automating every single parameter in a plug-in) 18:00 - "Will.i.am is the poster child for the new breed of producer" Questions from the corner office: 20:16 - What are your thoughts on placing your bass in the mix? 20:18 - To level out vocals, do you prefer to automate or compress <b>...</b>

Multi-Platinum Project Studio Mastering features Grammy winner Mitch Gallagher, renowned engineer, producer, composer, and writer. This is a short excerpt showing Mitch's use of the McDSP ML4000 limiter to control dynamic range and bring the mix to a comparable level when played against commercial releases. Necessary for any recording that truly aims to sound "Pro," Mastering is the final step your songs will take on their way to release via CD, Web, or DVD. It is often the most misunderstood, misused, or abused part of the production process. This sample video is highly compressed for YouTube.
