Jedi!

New lightsaber bought for you I have. Use you must.

Can you be a bit more specific? Which plugins? Is it a filter that self oscs or 50/60 cycle hum (think 204 etc) etc? An audio file would be really helpful as well.

Cubase 13 has been a total pain for me. I was encouraged to upgrade from 12 to 13 to prevent all the regular freezing/crashing nonsense. It is actually worse. Graphic issues are aplenty, plugins freeze and crash Cubase and Cubase crashes and freezes literally on every project. As mentioned earlier, ...

I'm sure Muzines will tell me I'm doing this completely wrong : in Logic 10.5.x I manually insert Gain plugin on every channel. I would thawd given it's importance it would be automatically inserted. Every time I teach gain staging to students that own Logic the gainer/gain utility plugin is where ...

Logitech MX user here.

Happy to teach you how to mix, but it will be a lengthy experience to cover every facet of recording, mixing and production.

+1 for Sos mix rescue. Sam's a top bloke.

I was peripherally involved in a project some years ago to try to capture the sound of singing bowls. The client was never happy with the results, they said it didn’t capture the complex interaction of the sounds. We tried a variety of stereo micing techniques but I can’t now remember exactly what....

In 10 years time we'll have to rewrite manuals:

'I gibbled that sound to burdahan (I downward compressed)'

If you koozoo the snare with a burbur at 10K the 'oh it's in the sky - band' will make it sound as if it has more presence.

It needs to be a plugin as sometimes I need the drum to ring off. I figure I just automate the On/Off of the plug in Logic and viola violin! Have you tried Logic's Enveloper ? That's what I was thinking. Not the same as a dedicated transient shaper but effective if you want to reshape the envelope.

Fourth, what the heck is a 'free edge' driver?

I too possess a fridge driver. I thought everyone had one...

Depends on the music. If Yoko's singing then H2SO4 works really well.

I don't use a lot of channel strip eqs but when I do I really like the SSL offerings, E and G.

If you're after variety, as oppsoed to a strip, then grab a Pultec emulator, a FabFilter Q3 and, my favourite, TDR Nova GE and Vostok.

Eventide have their Shimmer Verb, which would be my normal port of call, but I opted for Unfiltered Audio's Tails which is seriously cool. In fact, I used it in my podcast for Sos on the subject of Creative Tools if you fancy hearing it in action.

I always recommend the same four: James Perrett, Earle Holder, Klaus Hill and Bob Katz.
There are many others but I know these guys personally and can wholeheartedly recommend them.

TBH, you're better off using a LUFS meter, or similar (there are loads of dynamic range tools out there, Dynameter being a good one, K meter being another etc) and gauging the dynamic range of the material. That can point to over compression or any process that limits or narrows the dynamic range. Y...

I can't take this offer seriously unless this post is virtually torched after said offer has been delivered.

Get working on the code Oneworld.

The reason some of you can't hear sibilance on current releases is because it's already been treated at the mixing stage. We producers spend as much time cleaning and optimising stems as we do adding production fairy dust. Almost every song I have mixed, bar a very few, I have had to deal with plosi...

Band-pass EQ every channel in your DAW to remove redundant frequencies that cause all manner of problems with threshold dependent and air band processes. Most EQs now afford a solo function which helps to audition the offending frequency ranges.

Trust me, this simple process can help tremendously.
