Is It Just me?... I don't like the way that music today is compressed to give an average output, killing all dynamics. I was attenting the FTM the last days and think that the final "mastering processing" did no good to the composition... When hearing "old" Albums, I always listening to the original, not the "remastered" I am mostly into music made with real instruments, aka classic, jazz, blues etc. That has maybe something to say. Maybe I'm just to old 😄 Give me your opinion, thanks

What outboard gear do you use? I only have invested in a decent quality preamp (Audient ASP880) along with a UAD-2 Satellite. Everything else is in box. Any recommendations for first piece of affective entry level outboard compressor? My interface is a TASCAM 20x20 that I’ve had for ages. Also wondering if that is worth upgrading before getting any outboard gear?

Do you guys normally go for EQ boost or you prefer saturation (or band saturation) over Eq boost? what is a case you might wanna go for EQ boost instead of saturation ? I m not a mixing engineer I m a producer so I m asking to engineers here out of curiosity.

Hey! Been trying to download Voxengo Span on Logic, but I don't see it in my daw even after following all the directions & restarting my computer. Anybody else having the same issue?

Hello all, I produce and mix my own music, and in the Fix the Mix challenges, these processes are clearly delineated with gain staging and basically starting the mix process from scratch. I usually mix a bit as I produce - volume, panning, some effects etc. Is it really a lot better to bounce and everything and do a separate mixing session, or is it okay to mix as you go; what are the pros and cons, and any tips for mixing as you go to keep it clean and such? Thanks all : )
