Well, I have been singing for a couple of years and I did take a subscription for this website last year. Very useful for singers of all levels.

Imagine what this forum would be like if we all did that? You know, @jude77 is a retired psychologist -- but he also shares our plugin / sampling hoarding addiction.  Jude could help us to transition to a support forum!

That seems like a great idea.  And then I saw this Truth Bomb video that @cclarry posted.  If that guy is right I'll need to start a grief support group!

I think the guy's kind of right in a way*, in the same way that technically you wouldn't need any colours other than your primaries when painting: you could mix up any colour you want under the sun. But, its far easier and more consistent to buy paints in the colour(s) you need.

* there are potentially some aspects that aren't possible, but I don't think the average purchaser of his course would know the difference yet.

What are your thoughts on the SSL strips?

Don't know which you're referring to, but I'd suggest concentrating on using individual EQs/compressors, etc until you're comfortable with them before looking at channel strips.

The can make a complete mix sound a bit different, but they're a bit more difficult to use. With dedicated plugins, you generally get a nice UI telling you what's going on in that module. Channel strips are all-in-ones that can feel a bit daunting at first. You'd generally want to put one on each track/bus and you use the shaping tools on them.

I grabbed this $1 plugin. Threw it on a track I'd been stuffing around with and it clearly improved the sound with only a few knob turns. Great for anyone who doesn't want to have to master the art of mixing before they can get a track sounding better. 

I am interested in another of this company's plugins, SampleX V3 which is currently $29 but has been on sale for $9 previously.  I'm on an SP 1200 kick at the moment.
