I honestly wasn't expecting much from this plugin but the result speaks for
itself. Take a listen to the entire mix before Gullfoss after Gullfoss.

I never do this I never reach out to a plugin company and ask for a discount - and the
discount isn't for me IT'S FOR YOU! And I'm doing this for two reasons. First, I
really want more of you to try the Gullfoss plugin- get it, use it and giving
you the discount brings it within reach for some of you. And second, I believe
this is something that you will love and use on every song.

It just sounds better more like a modern mix here's how I use Gullfoss on every beat and song.
First make sure you finish your mix, set the
EQs best you can and then when you're done insert Gullfoss on the master
channel so that it affects the whole mix. Set the first setting called recover to
40% and the second setting called tame to
40% and then listen. (Sanjay C music playing)

Then adjust both of them to taste

And export your song, you're done! If you think your mix turned out too bright or
dull you can adjust it with the brightness setting here. I usually add
Gullfoss before Izotope's Ozone Mastering plugin. But you can try it after the
Ozone plugin as well. Whatever that works best for you. Now if you want to understand
what Gullfoss is doing, let me try to explain it to you. Honestly it's a bit
confusing to me too. Gullfoss is an intelligent EQ plugin. It listens to
your mix, then fixes things and balances your mix - in real time. Can you do this
with some dynamic EQ on every track? Maybe... but that's so much harder and
you're gonna kill a lot of time doing that.
The 'Recover' setting which I call the "make it better" setting, boosts elements
which are getting lost in the mix and the tame setting which I like to call
"make it even more better" reduces any dominating sounds in your mix. And they
both work together so use them both. Now if you mix super well already, you don't
need to set either of them that high - maybe just around 15%, if you're an
expert. The 'Bias' adjusts the preference towards 'Recover' or 'Tame'. Check it out on
the left side of the graph. 'Brightness' adjust the brightness obviously - you can
see the adjustments at the bottom. 'Boost' adjusts the perceived loudness of 'Base'
versus 'Treble'. Check out the curves particularly the
lows highs and mids when I adjust.

Remember, it's perceived loudness it's not a gain setting like you see on other
plugins. Go get Gullfoss. I'll put a link to it in the description and the code
you need to get your 30% off. Hit the like button if you like this video and
