Looking for Beta Testers.
I wrote an app for Mac (Windows in the works) that helps you track your time spent for Production / Mixing / Mastering. Caleb suggested I ask the community for help to test the app. If you are interested, you can reply here. Thanks!

Not sure if you realize or not but Hofa is in version 3 of their time tracker. A free and pay version. You may want to be sure you try to outdo them. Their web site has a feature list for each version. Not sure what your intentions are but if Hofa is asking $50 for the full deal then figure in sales, you could probably do your full deal for $25 no discounts ever. Sort of the Valhalla price model. A good plugin at a fair price and no sales pitches all year long. I guess you could call this my financial beta test. I'm on Windows and really have no need for a time tracker. I would say they are your benchmark.

@Steve Caustrita Yeah, I'm not knocking your effort just thought you might like to know. Also corrected my double type. My brain goes faster that my fingers. My guitars get pissed at me for that quite often. I make them go sit in the corner. Before I realize what has happened I have a bunch of pissed off guitars staring silently at me. Old age is fun.. If anyone tells you differently, they are lying, lol.

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!

Drum kit processing tutorial tomorrow morning with David Brancato (11am CST) **Link will be live till next Tuesday**
Hi everyone, As part of following up this recent fix the mix, we have a learning opportunity that's been arranged with David Brancato (this FTM's winner) to look at his drum processing and process. Meeting details below. Join us if you are able, it'd be great to see some members on the call! We expect to be less than an hour. Contact me with any questions or concerns, I may or may not have the answer. I'll do my best! Also I'm not a zoom expert so I'm unlikely to troubleshoot your zoom issues as FYI, not that there will be any! The plan was for the link to stay live for a week, so unless we get some response to keep it going a bit longer I'll remove the page then.

@David Brancato Thank you for this. Watched it today over a long lunch. Really well thought out and explained. Had to go buy that rez plugin. It's on sale for $9 I could not easily or at all hear what you were hearing. Occasionally on a loud crash I could here the whistle but then next hit I couldn't. That is on the video download. Haven't listened to tracks again yet. Your reasoning was similar to mine in the need to make mono of the stereo drums. Also the 4.5 slope. I think I might have learned that from Sara Carter or Dan Worrall. I do like your snapshot trick though. Might have to upgrade to SPro unless I have something else that can do that. I need to see if Melda Manalyzer can do that. I think it may be able to. Also BlueCat FreqAnalyzer. From what I could see though not sure they will be the same. Totally agree about baking all that in to the tracks and render them. Really nice presentation. Thanks again!

@David Brancato Yeah, I totally get it. Not sure what's happening tomorrow. I had not heard of anything. Might be something in the paid courses. I know you said you are not playing music or into theory and such. Which actually surprised me. When I listen to it I start thinking the bass needs more activity. Then I noticed he plays guitar in Drop C tuning. I started looking at the notes he was playing as a phrase and thought how in the world did he come up with that. I really like the song. If I could find the time I would like to try a remix of sorts. I'm trying to get some time to learn some Dorico which is notation software and might try to transcribe the parts. I think it would be a good first practice as there are not too many notes. Anyway again nice job, and don't let them wake you up so early again, lol.

My New Single - Lost In A Dream (premaster)
Hi everyone, I hope all of you are doing well and making lots of great music! We're getting close to finishing our new album, From Here To There, by Dean Rector and The Zone, and I'd love to get your feedback on our latest song. This version of 'Lost In A Dream' is still pre-master, but your thoughts on the song, mix, arrangement, or overall feel would be greatly appreciated. Your feedback helps us make the best possible decisions before the final release. Thanks for taking a listen!~ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B1XDjEw-Fxk7JcDUAG8uui2algtSc970/view?usp=sharing

I don't listen to Pop music so I can't really comment on what people that make and listen to it actually like to hear but I do have a question. Is that a real guitar?

@Dean Rector Wow, that is a very unusual sound. I couldn't tell if it was real guitar or some sort of sampled or synth layer or what. Not saying it's bad or anything like that. I just thought it was really unusual.
