Re: High Pass Filters DON'T f...ing ruin your mixes

High-passing every track because you think you need to high-pass every track is stupid. Use your ears :puf_wink: Agree with the first part of that But when it comes to "use your ears", isn't the issue that a track might have some low-end content that you *can't* hear when you solo the track? But th...

Re: High Pass Filters DON'T f...ing ruin your mixes

You better low-pass at 2KHz at the same time, just to be on the safe side :puf_bigsmile: I tried that but then all the sound was gone and I thought hmmm this can't be right. I had that problem too but then I bought some expensive mastering plugins. So far they haven't fixed it, I probably need to b...

Re: If you could only use ONE synth for a whole year, which one would it be?

My first thought is something super versatile like U-he Zebra, but on reflection I probably wouldn't go for a VST synth. I don't love the way Reason handles VST, and I'd get pretty sick of opening & closing the plugin window for a whole year So, probably Europa. Or maybe Amalgam - not really a does-...

Re: Sigmund 2 from D16 is (finally) out

You can keep your Sigmund 1 and 2. I just installed version 2 in another folder, and they are running independently. It's a pain to loose vst's in old projects. I lost the use of Sigmund 1 when I upgraded to a new Mac with the M1 processor, it's not compatible and never will be I can open a session...

Re: Do I need The Legend?

I like VK-2 but it's been a hell of a learning curve, and even now I find it weirdly counterintuitive to program. But it's worth the effort, especially when venturing into the realm of experimental sounds, noise etc. The Legend really doesn't go there half as well But when it comes to more conventio...

I love software, I love hardware, I love analog, I love digital. I use each for different things.

Re: Mixbox by IK Multimedia for $29.99

I'm tempted, but probably won't pick it up. The exchange rate makes $29.99 more like $46.00 in AUD, which is still cheap but not *that* cheap for something that I don't really need

I'll basically buy any old shit for USD $20.00 or below, but the $30.00 mark is where I start getting picky
