Winning mix breakdown
David was kind enough to spend an hour on me with Zoom, breaking down his winning mix from the recent Fix the Mix challenge! Watch on YouTube to find out exactly how he achieved that huge drum sound - plus his general workflow, tips for processing guitars, reverb, and more. https://youtu.be/bS204r_SXrk?si=t5eh0g3ITi0P7rl8 Huge shoutout to @David Brancato for being so generous with his time. He also spent a lot of time giving feedback to members after the competition, so please comment below with a big thank you for David!

SplitEQ 2
According to Eventide, SplitEQ 2 comes out next week. Seems like it will be a pretty massive upgrade from stuff mentioned in the description. I use SplitEQ all the time, so I’m looking forward to playing with this one. What do yall think? “SplitEQ 2 is a major step up from the original. New in this version are six dynamic bands, real-time masking visualization, side chain, and Global Dynamics control. Plus, various performance improvements.”

Best VST plug- in or sample library for Latin Percussion?
I have composed 2-3 new songs, which require congas and bongos plus cowbell / agogo Latin percussion rhythms. Ideal would be to hire a session drummer, but I have no one in mind yet nor financing for it. Can you please recommend a VST plug-ins for Windows 64-bit with authentic sound? Vst plug- in could be better than samples, because I would need to change the tempo of the songs, if the sample files are in a bit of different one, but quality samples with many choices for a tempo of 123 to 150 bpm would be appreciated, thanks. The songs are like rocking ones, therefore that kind of tempo.

Take a look at Orange Tree Samples. Latitude Latin Rock Percussion. It is a massive library and sounds great. If you can’t find the sound you’re looking for in this library, I’d be really surprised. I know they have bongos, congas and cowbell. https://www.orangetreesamples.com/products/latitude-latin-rock-percussion

@Alexey Gripas That's actually why I got the lower tier Bitwig version to try out. It's like there's a gremlin in FSP and you don't know when it's going to jump out at bite you.

@Alexey Gripas I upgraded to Fender Studio Pro 8 from Presonus Studio One 6.5. It did not like that. I kept getting audio gaps in my bounced tracks and mixdowns. I tried totally uninstalling the older version and that didn't help. I finally gave up and reinstalled Windows 10. That partially helped, but the problem persisted to some degree. I recently upgraded my motherboard, ram and processor and installed Windows 11 and the audio gap issue disappeared entirely. It still crashes randomly when I add a plugin though. I have gotten in the habit of saving before I add something new. @David Brancato mentioned a fix involving killing the Studio Pro process in the Task Manager that he does for the freezes after adding a plugin. I'm planning to try that next time it happens.
