Cheers to u my friend and thanks for the feedback. It's good to hear some different, experienced opinions. After all, even I know there's lots of snake oil out there that comes wrapped in cool looking packages. I've also seen a lot of strongly opinionated people get humbled quickly in blind test. Even pros can get fooled by their eyes &/or preconceived notions. Btw, ironically, I was actually coming back here to post his most recent video on this subject. He says he designed an even better testing plugin. And he addresses some of the things that u, & others have mentioned. (I figured I should be fair to the guy and let him have his final say) I'd be curious to hear ur opinion as to the effectiveness of his new & improved testing method 👍

And comps... Just curious if anyone here has any thoughts on these vids. Cheers 🍻

I saw this a while back and thought it was very interesting. And considering it's such a beautiful day, I just thought I'd try to get an argument going between u guys 😁

Hey Moe

My total understanding derived from the internet today... 1. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit 2. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad 3. Philosophy is wondering if ketchup should be considered a smoothie 4. Common sense is knowing that ketchup ain't no motherf*cking smoothie! 😄

I'm not sure if anyone here mentioned the UFX Reverb sale for $5 from Plugin Boutique. I just wanted to mention it because it now comes with the IK Mixbox(FULL VERSION!) for free. But only until Nov 21st. I'd actually been looking for a good Leslie plugin as well as a Univibe plug-in. The Mixbox has em both and they sound amazing. Plus it has 70 other 500 series style effects. I had never even heard of the Mixbox but I'm blown away by it. I can't believe I just got it for free. And btw, the UFX Reverb sounds fantastic. But if u don't need it, there's other plugins for sale cheap that come with the free Mixbox. But rem, it's only there for a couple more days. Cheers! https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/14101-UFX-REVERB-Version-2?currency=USD&force_country=US&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20844579592&gclid=CjwKCAiAz_DIBhBJEiwAVH2XwP-_Xjc54oAUJrxLUaGaItBqeFISNTvg6gLj8HrHlyYnHOcD1umT1BoCfRAQAvD_BwE

Sory, I don't know what ur talking about 🤷 But if u have some time to kill, here's a cool retrospective u might like...

That rumor is a lie dammit! 😡 Btw, here's another cool documentary y'all might like...

I'm from Louisiana, I can relate

😄

This was actually a very insightful flashback into this period of the Beatles. I was surprised how well documented some of the behind the scenes facts are, including their personal feelings & insecurities at the time. Whoever made this video did their homework and they have some great, high quality photos of that era too. Bravo 👏 Oh, and SPOILER ALERT... The Beatles were huge f*cking potheads 🤣

The consensus is that this is pre AI. It def seems legit to me Anyway, I don't think we give birds enough credit for their intellect & awareness

I had no idea that Mexican Folklore taught that owls were witches. So is this just an innocent bird dancing to the groove or is it an evil bird who's mocking the worship of God? ( I'll let u decide 🤷)

Yeah, IMO too many people are a little too an@l about sound isolation. I was stressing over it too when I first started out. After all, it's the "right way" to record. But now, I usually record my vocals without using headphones at all. With headphones, even on just one ear, I tend to sing slightly flat.(I've learned this is due to not hearing the skull & jaw bone resonate). So I've developed a vocal recording workflow where I turn the music on my monitors down low and I don't monitor the mic at all. And I'm very happy with the results and the speed of the process. I even use a condenser mic (& compression). However, I put an eyeball isolation filter on it to help block some of the monitor bleed from the back & sides. I can usually even apply melodyne on the clips if I need to and it still sounds great in the mix. In my experience, it's not a HUGE diff from headphone bleed. To each his own though. And I know some music & situations require more strict isolation. I just think a lot of people make too big a deal out of it. They end up sacrificing some vibe and workflow for perfectionism. I'm personally more concerned with the overall product & feel. And having a better workflow is just a bonus. So I usually go with the Van Halen approach... "If it sounds good, it IS good". 👍 (As long as no one ever isolates my sloppy-as§ tracks, I think I'll get away with it 🤣)
