From video: Pink Noise Cymbal Smoother
Published: February 5, 2026

Video Description

I found this pink noise cymbal trick from producer Joey Sturgis in a short, and tried it out in a project. Even though I didn't have the same plugin, I found it interesting and useful. Today we're exploring this technique in more depth with a few different plugins, including a free REAPER exclusive. It turns out the version of Smooth Operator I have isn't available anymore, so If you want to try out the new Smooth Operator Pro please use my link https://reaper.blog/pluginboutique Thanks to URM Academy and Joey for the original idea, and for always sharing great metal mixing content. 00:00 - =START 01:00 - the trick explained by Joey 03:23 - This trick used in my mix 04:33 - SmoothOperator 09:17 - Trying other plugins 12:05 - Free alternative 16:05 - Outro Thanks for watching!
