En un mundo donde el volumen se confunde con impacto, @trigun_audio (aka Nichel / Primary Perception) apuesta por la sensibilidad, la escucha activa y la obsesión por el detalle.
Desde su estudio, combina lo digital de precisión con lo analógico de alma, pero lo que realmente importa es su capacidad para traducir intenciones artísticas en sonido puro.

Saturation is one of the key elements for making your mix sound thicker and more interesting, while also helping you achieve a louder mix in a clean way by improving the crest factor. Understanding how different types of saturation affect a sound, and knowing when and how to use them, will greatly improve the way you mix.
The goal of this video is to help you better understand this important topic and give you another powerful tool to add to your mixing skill set.
In today’s video I share a simple website I use to calculate reverb pre delay and decay time based on the tempo of the track.
It’s a useful way to get solid starting points when you want to use reverb for depth without it being too obvious or without losing punch.
I always treat these values as references, not rules. Reverb can also be used creatively depending on the emotional direction of the sound.
Pre delay is the time between the dry signal and when the reverb starts. Decay time is how long the reverb tail lasts, or how big the space feels.
In this episode of Plugin That Works, it’s time for my favorite tool to shape the envelope of a sound.
Super versatile, great sounding, and easy to push in different directions depending on what you need 🎛️
In this new episode of Plugin That Works, I’m going to show you one of my favorite LA-3A plugins for synths, keyboards, and vocals, especially for dynamic control and tone. There are several LA-3A emulations out there, like Universal Audio or Waves CLA-3A, so you can just pick the one you like the mos
Last weekend, we had the pleasure of welcoming Sensei Nichel (@primaryperception_music ) from @trigun_audio to our studio in Stuttgart for a two-day workshop. Topics ranged from calibrating the soundcard with the mixing desk, proper gain staging in the analog and digital domains, recording with a good signal-to-noise ratio, all the way to the secret saucy tips and tricks of mixing to get the most out of your tracks. But that’s really just scratching the surface.
Since it can be incredibly humbling to record and “mix” your own tracks without the proper knowledge, especially when working with a full analog studio, it seemed crucial for us to have someone with a solid understanding of the matter come over, guide us through the process, and refine what was missing. Not only is Nihel an all-around good guy with deep knowledge of the technicalities of it all, he is also a musician first and foremost, which really showed in the way he taught us to set an emotional direction for each track before mindlessly tweaking sounds.
Conveniently, we have our own PA set up in the other room of our studio, so we were able to listen to the final product (a track by Dimi & Vincenzo from 2024, soon to be released 👀) on a proper system right away… and ooooooooh lord, were we blown away (as seen in slide 6 lol).
Since he custom-built the workshop around our specific studio, we can hiiiighly recommend it to every producer who feels confused by the billions of opinions and self-proclaimed experts on the internet. Give Nichel a call and make use of his very unique service. It boosted our confidence to finally (after almost 10 years of hoarding music 🙄) send out the tracks and let our babies see the light of day 🥺
In that sense, thank you, Nichel, for sharing your wisdom and for all the patience ❤️🔥
Best,
you Basement Boys
