Pluginhub now for Windows!! For Mac too!
I’ve had the opportunity to beta test PluginHub for Windows, and I’m really impressed with what they’ve put together. I highly recommend it! The Windows version is now available, and it’s currently only $29. If you’ve been looking for a better way to manage your plugins, update and even store your licenses, it’s definitely worth checking out. The price goes up to $39 on October 1st. You only pay once! It is available for windows and Mac’s .http://www.pluginhubapp.com/

I picked this up - I have around 500 plugins, and it's already helped ensure they're up to date. There are quite a few it doesn't seem to know how to date, but I'm hoping it'll learn. For $36 (including UK VAT), it's reasonable value - another $12 after the rise probably makes it more debatable. However, I'm not sure what competition it has!
Suggestion for M_dot_C
I've noticed several times when "time" becomes an issue. Things get changed and people get confused as to what time a thing is going to happen in their location. Why don't you switch to 24 hour UTC time? That way everyone knows what time the event will be occurring even if they are traveling. People in fixed locations can simply learn their offset. Or they can simply type in... "What time is it in [ my city ] at 17:30 UTC 11/15/2026? Most everyone's phone, tablet, computers are tied to UTC and they will get an exact time. Aviation is all tied to UTC/Zulu. 2026-09-28T16:52:00Z Year-Month-Day(T=Time)Hour(in 24 format):Minute:Seconds(Zulu = tied directly to UTC:00:00) But again any search engine can convert normal spoken words. So "The show starts at 13:00 ( 1PM ) UCT on October 2nd" works just fine. If you live on east coast USA that's 9AM EDT 10/02. If you live in Madrid it's 15:00 ( 3PM )11/02 When a contest ends "at midnight" it's much more easily understood and can not be improperly calculated if the contest ends at 23:59 UCT 10/01/2026. It would simply eliminate all confusion even as time zones change through travel or seasonal standard vs daylight savings. Also it seems to me if you had an instructor in different time zone or a mentor call and one party or both need to quickly coordinate a time. Anyway just a thought. If it saved everyone a couple minutes on all the varied communications, videos, etc., it would seem worth it in the long run.

Having been in aviation for my entire 45 year professional life, I’m totally comfortable with UTC/Zulu time (and I’m in UK, so it’s my local time in the winter), but the Mastering.com events are always presented in the reader’s local time in the calendar. The only confusion I’ve ever seen is over the finish time of FTM competitions, and that’s mainly people asking the question before the competition rules are announced - though plenty of people still either don’t listen or don’t read the answer in chat!
Downloading Updated Digital Cheatsheet Binders
Can someone tell me where I can find the link to download the latest version of the Mixing & Mastering Cheat sheet binder? I've got the older version and I'm wanting the latest one. Thanks.

I gather the new one is due out shortly, but it's not out yet.
what why how but when?
I'm in a loop of productions. how do you know wnen it is good enough to call it done and bounce it to mixing? how much of the depth gets completed in production. how long should I spend mixing a production? how good does it have to sound before it's sent it to mixing??? I'm in 101 maybe all these questions will be answerd when I finish 101 and 102 idk. Anyway I hanen't played this song for anyone yet. any feed back from you guys would be great. I just started using some of the things I've learned here. sorry if I went a little nuts with delays atomation reverbs and compression still havn't masterd anything.

Just heard you talking about it on Nick's Town Hall, Scott. This is a great track - I'd put it as pop/funk, but I'm sure there's some specific genre if you really want a label. For mix references, I'd look at Beck, Mount Sims, Goldie Lookin Chain and similar. Good job!
Fender -- Seriously???
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=287qxeUHgKQ I have always been a Fender person. I will never buy a Fender product that they can profit from again. At the end of the video the gentleman says if Fender said ok we screwed up that people would love them again. Not me. Although I see his point. When Waves pulled the carpet out from under everyone a couple years ago I said no more. I might occasionally buy a plugin but it's very rare. They lost my trust. Fender is court shopping and the CEO, to me, looks to be disingenuous. His appearance and expressions could simply be normal with respect to the setting though. If everyone plays by the rules then the rules are known and the fight is as fair as the laws allow. I call tell you though if you are a small company and some other larger power comes down on you to where you need legal court system help, you are screwed. You can lose everything. Your family, your home, your business, your future as you imagined it. I have no affiliation with anyone in the video nor ever expect to. FUF® To paraphrase Jesse Pinkman ( Breaking Bad ) 'fu bit*h*s' If Flounder is doing this as a long term marketing ploy they deserve to get hammered. I feel sorry for the people that work for the company and are actually integral to the musical instrument manufacturing.

@Lexi Keay that's a painful watch - it could have been said in less than a minute!
