New record about to drop! SERIOUSLY killer tribute record to the one and only RAMONES. I'm doing guest vox and keys with the awesome Daniele Brusaschetto and just LOOK at the list of players! GWAR? Rammstein? Swans? Napalm Death? Mr Bungle? and sooooooo many more! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mag...

First post of the year. The Harrison Mixbus 10 GUI is shockingly horrible. UN to the IN of my STALL. Not recommended.

Forever and ever.
Also, short doesn't mean less serious, less impactful, less impressive.
never has.

People have been talking about not needing 3rd party plugins because the built-in plugins in your DAW are good enough. I don't disagree! HOWEVER, those don't travel from DAW to DAW w/you. I'm often on Pro Tools,then Reaper,then Cubase.. whatever the job calls for. I need my plugins to move with me.

bx_opto is old, infrequently updated, and the GUI is pretty low rez BUT I use it DAILY. Excellent on voices, especially in live production when you might need some wiggle room for unexpected loudness. Great at taming transients & wildly diverse audio levels while remaining impressively transparent.

Playing with the Boz #Transgressor 3 today. A #transientdesigner with a sep. EQ for the Transient and Sustain parts of the signal. It's fast to get results. Been using this since it came out and haven't my other t. designers since. Great for drums and loops. #audio #plugins

Loudness target? For voices, if you compress well then apply one of these free tools after compression and before limiting, it'll help you hit your loudness targets pretty quickly. Goodhertz Loudness also has some great spacial balancing tools. #audioplugins #podcasting #streaming #radio

I didn't need another comp (I have an embarrassing 92 installed) but was playing with the Softube Opto (on sale) today and it sounded great. Compared to other vintage styled comps: Softube has built-in gain compensation to hit loudness targets. It's a pretty great time saver. Recommended.

Tonight's plug-in fun: Bertom Vocal Compressor, Fabfilter Pro-C2 with comparable settings in "Vocal" Style and the ever popular Waves RVox will all cancel each other out to around -65db. Not hard science y'all. Just having fun comparing stuff.

PSP Audioware Flare is great for compressing voices. You can get an unbelievable amount of transparent compression and gain reduction while keeping voices natural sounding. I dig it. It's iLok based so if you're on half a dozen computers that's a consideration unless your a champion dongle swapper.

Hell I ain't got much to say so I'll just muse on whatever plugins I'm using at the moment.
