Um, I am not sure how to introduce this
to you guys. I I'm not sure what to say
really. I'm kind of speechless a little
bit and um I want to go on record and
say that this thing should be illegal
first of all. So, I'm just not going to
do an introduction at all. I'm just
going to show it to you and then we will
talk about it. Talk about what this
outrageous plugin here with the tubes at
the top and two knobs released by my
dear friends at Makebelie Studios
already known for the sonic plugin and
the mix head in collaboration with
colleague Chris Garinger mastering
engineer. This thing is called CG2. You
see here in blue this track as you can
clearly see from the waveform. This is a
master track done released. I did this
mix and master years ago. It's out and
you will see that it measured a healthy
low7s LUFS 8. It's loud. So take a look
at the numbers here. The tubes will show
you the LUFS and so the VLM for people
who are familiar with that.
All right. 7 7 7.6. This thing is loud.
All right. Let me reset and I'll check
this out with the CG2 plugin.
There's
nothing. There's
nothing two dB
LUFS louder than what was the master
already and with barely noticeable
differences. It's absolutely insane.
There is no plugin, no processor out
there in the world that can take a
mastered track and do this. Push a 2dB
LUFS louder with barely any difference.
And I'll show you other examples. And of
course, you are not supposed to use it
this way. You're not supposed to master
a track and then slap it. You're
supposed to use this in your mastering
chain, which you will understand will
allow to reach even if you don't shoot
for crazy levels. Even if you shoot for
your regular 8 LUFS or 7 LUFS will allow
you to reach those numbers much easier
and cleaner without destroying your
tracks. And if you do want to reach
crazy dubstep EDM numbers, again, this
changes the loudness game completely
because it will be less devastated, a
lot less destroyed that what we hear
today with tracks that are minus 43
LUFS. This thing is absolutely bonkers.
Now, I had it for a while. I had it in
its original version, which was a little
bit different. Now, let me talk about it
a little bit and and explain it to you.
Although, I'm I'm telling you there's
not really much to say because I, like I
said, I I know the guys at Make Believe
uh very well and there's a little bit of
backstory. Part of this processor was
kind of sort of an accident. They were
testing and doing things and then
something happened, a weird combination
of things and everybody was like, "What
is this? What just happened?" And then
of course they looked at it, they
developed, they refined it, and then
this plug-in in collaboration with Chris
came to life. We have a density knob, a
loudness knob, and a few buttons that I
will show you. The density knob is a
dynamic processor. This is not a
compressor like when the level exceeds
the threshold, it ducks the material
down and then compensate. No, this is a
dynamic processor and not better
specified dynamic processor because I
think the guys rightfully so wants to
keep this for themselves that works on
the lowlevel information of the track.
It's not an upward compressor either and
it manipulates the density that's why
it's called density of the track and it
increases the perceived loudness in an
extremely transparent way as you just
heard. And several things happen at the
same time under the hood when you turn
this density knob. And by a lot of
things, I don't want to be esoteric
about it, but if we imagine a dynamic
processor in general, there's threshold
and ratio, attack and release, probably
makeup gain, several things. But again,
the focus is on the lowlevel
information. While the loudness knob is
again kind of an little bit of an
obscure processing that combines soft
clipping and maybe wave shaping of some
sort and adds harmonics and again
increases the perceived loudness. The
incredible thing is how transparently it
does and to what insane level is able to
push the material. Now we have a bunch
of buttons here. We have a filter
button. This is a simple DC filter I
think at two hertz. Then we have these
three buttons 0 minus 0.1 and minus one.
Now when the true peak it's not engaged
this will set up your final level. So
just like a limiter because you would
use this plug-in as your last slot in
place of your final limiter or in
combination with your final limiter.
That's up to you to experiment. But the
point is these three buttons will set
your output final level to either zero,
which is not really advised, minus 0.1,
which is how I usually set it, and minus
one. Bypass is self-explanatory, but
when you engage the true peak button,
which again is self-explanatory, it
activates the true peak limiting. These
three buttons acts like your threshold
in a way. And this is pretty much it.
That's all you have to know about the
plug-in. That's all the functions that
you have. It's got one job and it
absolutely kills it. The tubes are your
LUFS level as you can see. And if we
click here in the dot, you can see that
you can show different things. You can
show integrated LUFS, momentary
momentary hold, short-term LUFS,
short-term LUFS hold, true peak, troopic
hold. And if you click on the numbers,
it will reset. We also have dithering
function. If we click the gear icon up
the top right here, you can see you can
activate or deactivate the deter. And
you can also select the bit depth. It
goes from 16 dB all the way up variable
to 24. That's it. That's all there is to
know about the plugin. This thing is
absolutely mental. I could end the video
here. Just go buy it. That's it. Because
that's what I would do because I'm
telling you, I've been using it for a
while and it's I don't like the word,
but this is a darn game changer. But I
want to give you a few more examples.
Disclaimer, this thing does not have an
output knob. So there's no level
matching. This thing is meant to make
loud. That's it. There's no level
matching. You will be able to hear
regardless that this sounds like nothing
else out there. And I will do the same.
We'll get this one, which is the
mastered version of the song that I
mastered. And we'll see how it handles a
lot of low end. Keep in mind this is
also mastered.
Like what real sound like? I'm still the
same down guy. Same down vibes. I know
that you heard this. I deserve this.
After what the hurt did I turn on
perfect? I'm just trying to sound like
what real sound like. I'm still the same
down guy. Same down vibes. I know that
you heard this. I deserve this. After
what the hurt did it turn out perfect
sound like real sound like. I'm still
the same down. Same down vibes. I know
that you heard this. I deserve this
after what the hurt did. It don't turn
out perfect. I'm just trying to sound
like real sound like I'm still the same
down. I know that
you do you hear loss of punch? Do you
hear and and I'm pushing I'm I'm again
I'm I'm working on purpose on mastered
finished tracks and is beyond
ridiculous. Let's try this abomination
on a mix. This is not mastered.
Instead, I need
you. I need you. I
So you hear it. kicks is there, punch is
there, everything is there. There's no
loss of low end whatsoever. And this is
a mix. This is a mix that without this
measures minus 17 with it
on. I'll meet you in my
And granted there is headroom, right? So
two, three, maybe 4 dB is just a peak
level reaching zero. But this is a
midnight LUFS on a mix that does not
have any limiting any clipping. You can
see the waveform is dynamic and alive,
right? And still keeps all that dynamic.
And it already brings it in the mid 9.
That's like a 2000 horsepower car
quarter mile time. It's It's insane. And
like I said, I had it for a while, but
if I didn't have it, I think uh seconds
25 of this video, I would have gone and
got it because this is absolutely
bonkers. Let's get a hip-hop track
again. This is mastered
already. Hey yo, snotty nose. Catch
karate blows like Johnny Bones. They be
rushing to get your body home. Rocky
flock and load. It's off at the top of
your dome like auto chokes. These hard
choke. Can't stand this kind of
smoke. Y a lot of I know y grinding
dominoes. Y need to stop it and go
st you in your face. Let's put the heat
on these
we beat on these on holding up the
signs. Y'all better be wise and behave
cuz these guys will be keeping stinging
your guitars like and and it's
crazy because even when it start you
start to hear a little bit of artifacts.
It still doesn't sound bad. It doesn't
sound destroyed. It doesn't sound like
scratchy or anything like that. It start
to crunch a little bit. But we touched
minus
4.9 on a mastered track. I wish we were
live so I could just let you pick what
kind of genre do you want me to do
because there's really not much else to
say. Let's go back to my mix. This one
probably has a couple of dB of headroom
there.
Yeah. Can't help this clear. I wish it
wasn't
there. Cuz now my heart is in
this. I'm the
girl. Hey, and I will lie to
you.
Hey, I'm the girl.
I need I'm just afraid to let it show.
This is a mix and it's got like probably
you can see at the peaks are probably 1
dB before zero. And look at that. Look
at that. We're we're hitting nines, low
nines. Um, this is it for the video.
