This channel is useful. I figured a lot of this out by the time these were published (like how to cheat the lack of busses with fx channels)

I was able to do quite a bit with prime. Yes, there are better options imo, it offers a lot for free and the limitations are less than what I started with ( a drum machine, a cheap keyboard, a few stomp pedals, a dj mixer,a radio shack spring reverb and two tape decks?). The channel strip is garbage, but I find beginners tend to absolutely use EQ and compression wrong. I find I can get a better results from a beginner by teaching them good sound selection and a balanced mix than I can from them butchering eq and compression settings. The average middle school kid i find simply cranks bass on eq and struggle mightily to even understand what a compressor even is.

For my usage it was. This was for an afterschool program for middle schoolers. No serious mixing was going on. Any of the kids that showed interest beyond the most basic concepts was able to come to my other studio and work on st1 pro or logic. The other kids were introduced to the concept of a DAW amd taught about tracks , how to record etc. We didn't dive into mixing beyond a conceptual level

I found it useful as a teaching tool. It was much easier to introduce basic concepts to my students with prime than more featured. DAWs

The biggest issue with studio one prine for me is the lack of compressor.

Might be time to upgrade

I got my plugins to work by following the advice posted, but I find myself hesitant to use them. Losing that weekend left me very unmotivated

I think the most effective way to use AI for myself is to use it to speed up processes I can do just fine in my own but more efficiently with AI.

You are likely right. I think it was the annoying ilok nags every time i started my daw that annoyed me

I think there is some middle ground between being reliant on AI and being a ludite. We use AI all the time but we don't necessarily call it that. Automatic transmission on an automobile is to a degree AI. There are some functions that are simple enough to be automated like initial levels.

These mix checkers are at best very general and not meant to be the final word on a mix. Even within a genre, the "ideal" mix is subjective and will sometimes be way off of what these tools suggest. I do think where these tools come in handy are when you find yourself not able to work with your usual setup (particularly your room and monitors) and you need a little assurance that where you are provides a similar sound reference.

I got this free and have never used it

Kind of what I would expect from an mp3 of a 4 decade old song mixed to sound ideal on vinyl and tape.

Maybe scrub all ik references in registry before reinstall?

This was not one of his better reviews. Because he refuses to read manuals or use plugins the way they were intended he sometimes misses the mark.

I don't mind MTM making our freebie NFU. In general they tend to be pretty generous and Tom is a pretty chill guy. He gave me a freebie when one of the products I owned was discontinued. I own bassroom via the freebie but I may grab bundle anyway

The ssl or harrison?

I will only consider it if i get one of those ridiculous sales lol

They sound the same to me

I might consider updating Harrison now. I absolutely hate how they react to even the slightest criticism.

I got as a freebie as well. Like Starship loved the micropitch . i might start using it again.

If i had not just spent money with melda, this would have been my "support a good company" purchase.

Even though I said I am not a fan of installation process, it's not some deal breaker type of thing. I have owned modo drums 1.5 for awhile and have not felt inclined to install. I am sure i am past the 180 days but don't really care. At some point i will use jampoints to download everything and store.

When that plugin scan goes over a thousand you know it's time to seek help.

I appreciate all the sales. I just feel like i will never fond time to truly master any of them if i keep buying. I will probably get eZkeys 2
