Native Instruments Gmbh are have entered insolvency proceedings. Other companies possibly affected include the wider group - iZotope, Plugin Alliance, and Brainworx. The European Commission has apparently cleared a planned acquisition of the NI group by Bridgepoint and Bain Capital Credit, though it’s unclear whether the transaction has completed. I use plugins from all of these sources, they're great. Let's hope they survive .. https://mixmag.net/read/music-tech-company-native-instruments-enters-preliminary-insolvency-tech

Has anyone given Tonalic a try? Looks interesting.

Hello, Is there a common ratio/volume balance for Kick + Sub bass in EDM/EBM/Rock genre? So let's say, if my kick is hitting at -6dbs, should the sub bass (not the main bass layer) be hitting at that same level, louder, or lower? So far I have been putting up the sub bass volume by ear, but find it hard to know when it is right. Everything sounds good to me :-)

Out of curiosity I wanted to know if different meters would show the same data for the same sound. I was surprised that izotope insight 2 showed a difference of 3dB for the LUFS values compared to the other 2 meters. Also for true peak there's a 3dB difference. What am I missing here? Is the calculation different? That's a massive difference which makes me unsure what to use. Which meter(s) do you use? Thanks!!
