About the Video Clip: Best way to test new plugins
Let’s assume you’re on the hunt for a particular plugin. In this episode, I explore you my view of the best practices for testing new plugins and their presets to ensure you get the sound you want for your productions.
Test new Plugins: Why Testing Plugins Matters
When searching for new plugins, the market can be overwhelming. You might find yourself swayed by the hype—claims like “This is a game changer!” or enticing marketing clips can lead to impulsive purchases. While these endorsements can be impressive, they don’t always guarantee that a plugin will meet your specific needs or enhance your workflow.
Key Challenges:
- Hyped Marketing: Many plugins come with flashy marketing that can obscure their actual utility.
- Overlapping Features: You might already own similar plugins that fulfill the same purpose, making new purchases redundant.
Here are the points I cover inside the video how to test new plugins efficiently you are keen to discover deeper:
- Why reading the manual could be a big helper and why I often look to late into it.
- The bypass technique is one of the simple options but shows you the truth of the actual processing.
- A+B+C Option gives you a clearer perspective on the differences presets that you want to compare
- Volume Check: Some plugins may trick you with louder outputs, leading you to think they sound better than they truly do.
- Inside the Mix: This is the essential testing environment for the new plugin and it’s presets. This will give you a better sense of how the plugin interacts with other elements in your project.
By following these steps, you can effectively evaluate new plugins and make informed decisions about which tools will truly benefit your sound.
