In this free video tutorial brought to you in with the support of Plugin Alliance, Pro Tools Expert team member Julian Rodgers demonstrates using a selection of his favourite Plugin Alliance plug-ins in combination on a simple mix.

Plug-ins Used In This Example

• bx_Bassdude - Julian's favourite amp sim plugin, a model of the Fender Bassman with a unique sound.
• bx_Megasingle - Perfect for authentic-sounding clean-to-crunch sounds.
• Lindell Audio 354E - 3-way multiband compressor which just makes things sound better.
• Vertigo VSC-2 - Really flexible compressor which manages to be transparent and has character both at the same time...
• Elysia Karakter - from a little bit of harmonic fur on the sound to "something's definitely broken" distortion!
• Lindell 7X-500 - FET compression with a mix control, always useful.
