Streaky has the low down on this one Emit - another multitool but has a function to stream to your iphone for translation checks (also free) https://ctrk.klclick.com/l/01M78WPQH48TWMRCHECJY44J3M_1 Free Multi-tool - be patient the following two links are down as the site is down apparently https://process.audio/en/products/protility Decibel Pro meter at %50 off https://process.audio/en/products/decibel

I am fine with it, as long as it stays in the community.

Ok so here is the replay link for today's zoom call. Special thanks to @David Brancato for his time and sharing his expertise mixing live drums! Thanks to @Artem Meshbeyn for recording the call and providing the video! Housekeeping - The video is made available by the community, for the community. No sharing the link outside of Mastering.com skool members club - please and thanks. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nehYApURwI-nWJyTXBx0k9MjU0Nu3QMp/view?usp=sharing

@David Brancato That sounds really great! I can make something happen next week 11 - 2 CST without much trouble. Maybe aim for 40min to an hour and just focus on drums. If that works let me know. Otherwise field me a few times and I will look into what I can do. If you set up the call I'll advertise it in the community and we'll see who shows up.

@David Brancato How's Tuesday, 11am CST?

@Lou Baker Personally, I find the guy a bit of a jerk. I'd never buy his plugins. I think its a bit of an act to create a market niche and it appears to work given you're happy to flag on my recommend for no reason. There now I've been a jerk for no reason as well. I tried AAudio 2 years ago and thought they were huge, bloated, resource hogs, and over priced - basically what 'everyone' thinks. Then, after trying another 1000 plugins and the mastering intensive, they were on sale, and I tried one again. Then I started to see what was really going on and that it was worth the extra time to learn which pieces of gear they had that would be worth the extra cost, learning curve, and worth shopping the sales. There is no other compressor you can buy that has a SHMOD control or attack and release HOLD controls. IMHO there are also no other plugins that sound as dimensional and transparent. For most people working or aspiring to work in audio engineering now they are also as close to the hardware as you are likely to get unless you slowly build out. Frankly, after spending the time to learn how to incorporate them into my workflow, I mostly cringe when I hear someone review them on Youtube because they try to apples to apples compare them but they don't know how to set them up or use the extended controls. So yeah in those scenarios they don't sound like they do if you set they up properly. That took me two years to learn. So you can stick to your AP mastering if you like, but I prefer to feel like I'm working with equipment, not a digital head's up display with triangles or whatever. Maybe I'm old school, and that proximity to real equipment, even in the box, matters to me anyways. Ok, end rant, flag on!

@Lou Baker Sounds like a great machine. Try running your entire session with the added preamps across every track (except busses and sends) as described. I'd be happy to hear what you discover. DAW wise I hear great things about Reaper and may get to it at some point. Right now I'm happy with Logic and instead focusing on mixing technique instead of new tools.

There are a lot of youtube channels that cover plugin reviews - newer and notable are easiest to find. If you search by the plugin name you are likely to find a review. Example channels are: Mixbus TV, Whitesea audio, Matty Harris You could ask here in the community as well - very likely someone is using the plugin your inquiring about and can give a user review
