All the way from the start I could feel it 
in my heart like... hey what's going on out there I'm
Sean Divine hope you all are doing well
today I'm excited to share my newest
mixing template with you guys it is
called divine mixing waves template
it's for the Logic Pro X Cubase and Pro
Tools users and it is a completely
custom design template that was created
using an actual hip-hop session actually
it was a song from my album that's going
to be released in a couple of weeks but
I mixed it in each of the da w's using
all waves plugins had a great response
to my first template which is called
template one that used stock plugins
within each of the da w's but I had a
lot of requests from you all saying
let's take it up a notch so these are a
lot of the same plugins a lot of the
same chains and presets that I'm using
in my mixing sessions I've been a
longtime waves user and actually the
first mixing plugins I purchased were
the waves ssl 4000 which I use in this
template as well as the waves gold
bundle those are the only two waves
bundles that are used however there's a
ton of plugins in there and if you're
not yet a waves user you're going to be
able to pick those up and utilize
everything within waves template alright
so let's talk about some of the features
in divine mixing waves template right
now I have the Logic Pro X version open
you're gonna see that we have about 40
different channels here and if you're
familiar with template one I have
convenient RMS reference levels here and
the reason why I include these is so
that if you're dragging in audio and
we're feeding things like compression
the thresholds are gonna be a little bit
different so I wanted to give you an
idea of the levels of the source audio
that I was using so all you would need
to do is put on a level meter something
like that and just measure the RMS of
your source material and just match that
so that then the fader and the
thresholds again on compression all that
type of stuff is going
to translate a lot better and be more
convenient in terms of real-world
results for your session so up here at
the top we're gonna have all of our
channels for our instrumentation so I
have some handy things like kick 808 or
bass snare high hats there's some
sidechain settings going on here I have
a syn for the kick you can send this bus
to anything you want right now I have it
routed to the c1 sidechain for the 808
or the bassline just to glue those
together a little bit better you're also
going to notice in each of the templates
that I have these nice stacks so that
you can collapse your instrumental your
verse 1 verse 2 verse 3 hook and it has
all of the different layers and then
they're routed accordingly so we've got
a hook background vocal aux if you've
watched my videos you're familiar with
my philosophy on using aux channels to
keep things efficient but also for
organizations so with color coding you
know exactly where this stuff is heading
you look at this color look down here
there is the corresponding ox track so
it's going to make it really easy for
you to get around and know where your
tracks are routed so let's take a look
at something I know you all are curious
about which is the included vocal chains
in waves template I have a lot of
different options for you there are
actually different chains for each verse
so this is going to allow you to kind of
pick and choose which one works best for
certain situations or performances or
vocal types you might have a female you
might have a male vocal that's just very
different in terms of performance so
I've given you some options for instance
verse one is relying almost exclusively
on the SSL channel so running that
through a de-esser and then we have some
sins for reverb and delay but then if
you go to verse two we have a totally
different custom chained and each of
these is going to have a pretty
different sound so this one may be a
little warmer a little more vintage
sounding verses this one it has some
high end boosts with the V EQ gonna give
you a little brighter radio type of vibe
and then going down to verse 3 we have
something
we're using a another different
compressor the our compressor and we're
feeding an SSL EQ it's going to give you
a little different flavor so also this
one might just be run to the reverb
rather than having a little bit of a
delay to give it a spatial affect so
again the idea behind this is just to
give you a couple of different options
because obviously you know one chain
might not work best for all of you I've
also got separate oxes for things like
your punches and your ad-libs so I
actually have two different ad-lib
chains here going to give you a little
different sound this verse ad-lib B has
a nice imager on it so it's going to
widen things a little bit give you those
ad-libs that punch out in the mix and
then we also have some different options
for your reverb and your delay so verb a
is gonna be a warm subtle space ver B is
your warm chamber so you just look up
here at your bus numbers and you can
route any of your tracks straight to
those reverbs and pick and choose which
one you want and how much you want to
send there they're already in queued
using the req the exact way that I would
do it in my sessions you've also got
your two options for your delay you've
got a fast delay and then a 1/4
ping-pong just to give you some ideas of
what you can do there and you can always
open up these and change the timing if
you wanted to do a 1/8 delay you could
do that as well there's also an aux with
a vocal doubler preset this is a custom
designed preset that you can use it your
disposal for your vocal chains to get a
little bit more depth have a more
exciting modern vocal so I think this is
going to be particularly useful for you
as well finally moving down to the
master I have custom settings for the
waves vitamin plugin which is going to
give you nice stereo spread and just a
wider mix overall we've got settings for
the ultra Maximizer which is going to
keep your mix in check and keep you
competing level wise and then we also
have of course a pass meter down here so
you can monitor your rms levels as you
need to all right so that is a quick
look at the new divine mixing waves
template completely customized EAW
template utilize
two of my favorite mixing plug-in
bundles which is the waves gold package
as well as the waves ssl if you've
watched my videos on the channel you
know I'm using these plugins all the
time and I'm just really excited because
I know that these are gonna help you get
the sound you're after and also you're
gonna be able to learn from the approach
and just the workflow that I've set up
for you in waves template so if you have
any questions or comments about the
template feel free to leave them below
if you're curious about the
possibilities of how you can get this
thing to sound listen to the song at the
end of the video I used a lot of these
same vocal chains and this was a song
that actually mixed to build the
template so I hope you all enjoy we'll
talk to you soon
that's what you need in its life for our
teas in society big crooked like 1972
these politicians feed on you it's money
over people not the people love a power
about time we start speaking out
generations turning back the hours they
think we have the bed it might be
sympathetic if they realized on a new
page or we stay silent and a futures
fade away gone
I hope you find a reason
