Hey All, Craig Anderton has a new E-Book out called, Max Your Mix: Tips & Tricks to Take Your Mixes to the Next Level. ~~~> Sold only at Sweetwater for $19.95 The mix is where your tracks come together into your personal, musical statement. The definitive e-book covers the entire mixing process — the initial mixing mindset, using plug-ins such as EQ and dynamics effectively, virtual instruments, monitoring, mixing with MIDI, automation, sidechaining, mix referencing, and much more. Written by industry legend (and award-winning engineer) Craig Anderton, you’ll discover tips and tricks learned over decades of experience in the studio. These techniques apply to DAWs in general, but you’ll also find specific examples for Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Studio One, Cubase, and Digital Performer. Free updates! Even better, this is an exclusive Sweetwater Publishing e-book with free updates. We know technology is always changing, and information gets out of date. That’s no longer a problem! Sweetwater’s e-books are revised periodically. Not only do new buyers get the latest information, but e-book buyers can also download free updated versions, just like software “point” versions that go from 2.0 to 2.1. If the changes are so extensive that a new edition is required, changing from software version 2.0 to version 3.0, for example, owners of the current book can purchase the new edition at a reduced price. Being available only as a downloadable PDF file keeps the price affordable compared to print books — and, of course, there’s a search function. Also, click on a link in the table of contents or the body of the book, and you’ll immediately jump to the section you want to read. With 292 pages, 229 four-color images, and over 84,000 words, this clearly written, easy-to-understand book is essential reading for creating innovative, compelling mixes.

We're working on the M1 update for T-RackS 5 first so that's coming before any full version release.

Free choices from group buys are eligible now. Something I and a couple others here really pushed for and got the team to implement. For example, those who own T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb qualify for the 9.99 upgrade (vs 49.99) MixBox Sunset Sound modules. Do they get it right every time? No. But I also now take part in a regular meeting with the lead of the team that sets up the eligibility and the reminders are not so gentle any more so I hope this gets squared away to be right each time, every time, from the go.

That and the M1 native version of T-RackS coming to v5 are things I'm VERY happy about. I wasn't the only one making noise about either of these things, though, I hope I didn't give that impression. Either way, forward motion and all, good to see.

AGAIN - please add mouse wheel scrolling to the input/output dropdown lists I use x32 card with 32 inputs and 32 outputs. I have to tediously mouse click to scroll the input/output list (because the "more instinctive" and convenient mouse wheel scrolling is not implemented). Thank you!

Don't worry... So are Waves! 🤣

Thanks for that. There is a great lesson there. If we cant make something sound good with a handful of plugins, owning another 80 won’t help.

I suspect that all V14 has going for it is native M1 support. True? Whatever, I updated the ones that were still within the support window and saw no differences whatsoever.

No wonder, everyone is already waiting for V15! 😂

Jeff Beck featuring Imogen Heap - Blanket

9 hours, pretty good, I'm a video course addict and love Udemy's drop pricing on some great courses. It does pay to watch the preview video's of the course and any other free ones that are sometimes indicated in the course structure to get a good idea of what it's like first. Sometimes there's annoying hard to understand accents or wasteful talking or using plugins that are third party and not included with studio one or using a different version of studio one to the one you have, all things to check out. Also I've found treating it like professional education ie creating a time frame to finish it like one hour a day or so and committing to finishing it, whatever happens. I don't use studio one but I have version 3, I don't mind doing courses on other DAW's because it's all learning about the same thing anyway and a lot of the knowledge you gain can be transferred over to the DAW you use. Sometimes I find that other DAW's will do something that I thought mine couldn't then I find that it can, all good learning.

No issues with the EVO’s here. 250, 500, 1tb and 2tb . Been using them for years. t

Or do a "save as" to keep what you want then edit away. Mix Recall does not preserve tracks and data. Just the state of mixes as mentioned in the documentation.

I built a new DAW system (from used parts), and in reinstalling all my audio software, came to some realizations and conclusions. It's the other side of the post I wrote about giving ourselves a break about those small purchases adding up. If you're interested in what might await someone who upgrades to a new(er) system, check it out:

at least they included details of what they fixed.

i've got all the compressors i'll ever need, and some extras to boot!

Nah, it’s the third one you need to worry about.

$26.68 for both. C'mon...you know you wanna.

Ordered this to support Craig. I also got Bitwig 8-Track free. So, I have that going for me.

The fact I got another email about it suggests the roll out ain't being received very well!!

Daymn, I am a little behind!!

Perhaps +++ THIS +++ David Baer article, "Oversampling - What, Why And When", just released in the July edition of Soundbyte may answer some questions regarding oversampling.

Waves is having a sale?? Holy cow, I'm jumping on this!! What we need now is for Waves to lead the way in breaking the $19.00 sale barrier.

"Beach Blanket Bingo"

Upgraded about 18 months ago to a 860EVO 500gb system drive. And 2 x 1TB Crucial MX500 for storage/samples. Superb performance from all with no hiccups. Could never go back to HDD now (though used an external 2TB WD spinner for archiving).

björk : human behaviour

Although it's good to do these long form courses I've also found that when I'm doing stuff in the DAW I will sometimes also run my TV connected to Youtube. Then when I want to do something in the DAW or use some function of a third party plugin I haven't used before, I just ask about it on the TV remote mic and up pops a video explaining it.

Thank you. I really like AIR's Velvet and Vacuum Pro, and they cost me less than a pack of toothpicks.

Yes mix recall has its place for trying out different options for mixing a final version of a finished project but it needs the tracks to keep same numbers etc. You can swap out effects and VST instruments but it will freak out if you delete a track. There are many options for saving alternative versions of projects. “Save as “with a change to the name is easiest and will share the audio folder if you “save as “in to the same project folder.

Great work Pete! That's a HUGE incentive now!

This should be in the deals section; it looks like it would still be a bargain if it was twice as much.

I don’t know your workflow, but maybe the use of freeze/archive/folders/hide in some combinations? Freeze frees up resources but leaves playable so some resources still used. Archive removes all but track is silent. Folders to group ideas and hide to get not-currently-being-used tracks out of sight?
