Hey everyone, Excited to announce that we're hosting a free event this Friday called "The Successful Home Studio". On this exclusive Zoom webinar you'll learn directly from Mastering.com alumni about how they have reached a professional level in their production, mixing and mastering skills. They'll be sharing their stories and best tips for how you can make fast progress with your music in 2026, and finally make the leap to industry-standard quality. This event will also act as an open day for anyone interested in our flagship program, The Reverse Engineer. It's your chance to learn more about how it works, what the day to day is like, the admissions process etc. Plus, we'll be sharing the details of a special New Year package for anyone who joins The Reverse Engineer before the end of January. It's a higher level of hands-on help than anything we've ever done before, so if you're thinking about joining anyway, be sure to come along to find out more. The Successful Home Studio takes place on Friday, January 16th, at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern Time / 5pm UK / 6pm Central European time.

First time asking a question on the forum. I’m using Studio One with a custom-built PC. All of my plugins are downloaded to the same folders, but some never appear available when recording/arranging, no matter how many times I rescan. Short of uninstalling/deleting/reinstalling, any suggestions?

Hey everyone, Hope you all enjoyed the holiday period, now it's time to get back to it! We're kicking off 2026 with a bang starting Monday, Jan 5th... With a brand new free virtual event called "The Mastering Makeover", hosted in partnership with Woodstock Audio. Over the span of 2 days, we'll master real attendee submissions while teaching professional mastering techniques along the way. You can submit your track for a live makeover, or learn by watching your others tracks get mastered. Either way, you'll learn how to diagnose problems, push back on mixes that aren’t ready, and make the transformational decisions that create release-ready masters.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ You can find the event here in the Skool calendar: https://www.skool.com/mastering/calendar?calDate=1767383608&eid=e476ab35774c42b098b291a9cea8d466&eoid=1767632400 Here is the link to submit your mix for live mastering (please upload a stereo WAV file, without a limiter applied): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfIcX0rOCjpMAwF4QR4h-qvo94XXzypR6YiHmdKrEiNgy_rng/viewform?usp=publish-editor (deadline 9am Eastern on Monday) Note, it is not guaranteed we will choose your track for the event, but anyone can submit. 🚨 ALSO - for the first time ever, we will be hosting a special "Backstage" session for Premium and VIP members. This will take place immediately after each day of the event, and is an opportunity for you to get 1:1 coaching (mic on, video on, DAW open if needed) and ask questions about the topic of the event, get feedback on your music, or anything else you need help with. If you're not already a member, be sure to upgrade here before the event starts to get Backstage access: https://www.skool.com/mastering/plans

What would it be? Right now… for me it would be a toss up between a Massive Passive, Pultec… or The Swift from Thermionic Culture. I’ll let you know if I decide 🤷‍♂️

Ditto, to all at Reverse Engineer. Using Studio One as recommend by Jake. Really blown away at what it can do better than Pro Tools, at least you don't have to be online to use it Anyway enough said.
