I did a bit of Googlin’ about e2genesis and Groupon before I posted this (and asked Larry via PM) and couldn’t find anything evil about them.

It came up as a Google Shopping search result, all I was doing was searching for a price on Pro Q 3 to compare it with that $200 Slate Digital one.

Not tempted myself, I have this bundle covered many times…Read More

Wow, $200 for a dynamic EQ?

So many options at a fraction of the cost. The aforementioned ProEQ.

MDynamicEQ, MAutoDynamicEQ….$75 and $105 respectively, and of course if you want them, just wait for them in the Eternal Madness 50% off rotation, or better still, wait for MEssentialsFX bundle to come around on sale at half off and get…Read More

I have MPS 5.5 (got it in The Great Glitch of 2023).

It looks like I can upgrade it to 6.5 at JRR for $105 presumably with a further GROUP discount.

What it would do is upgrade Ozone and RX to 11.

Is it worth the hundy?

Do you get another license for Stratus/Symphony? If so, yes, worth it.

I’ve been in Eugene, OR, among other places.

Lovely little town.

Visiting mum and her husband, who live in an assisted living place up there.

Kind of has me wondering if I’ll be made an unperson just for participating here.

Whatever, I don’t want to let it stop me from doing what I want to do, so my participation here will continue.

I’m sorry for everyone involved, sorry for BandLab for losing so many loyal users, regardless of whether it was by their own doing.

To me the worst…Read More

Now I’ll have Stutter Edit, MRhythmizer, and TimeShaper.

Despite how badly I want to master this type of effect, I’m still not where I want to be. I even worked my way through Producertech’s course on Stutter Edit.

Stutter Edit seems overly complex and idiosyncratic, and MRhythmizer suffers from the usual MeldaProduction approach to…Read More

Is it just me or do W.A. Production and iZotope seem to be converging look-and-feel wise?

I really need to download this and take it for a spin….

On BluesCat said <p>Thumbs up for “Amish Rake Fight” . Great song title!</p>

One of the guys from Machines of Loving Grace has a project called Amish Rake Fight.

I can’t take credit for the term, but it’s always generated such vivid mental pictures….

Yes, that fits my first reason, workflow. Why spend 5 minutes tweaking my favorite high precision parametric EQ to sound like a Pultec curve when I can just throw on a Pultec clone and have the famous sound in seconds?

Bottom line, the best DAW is the one you feel most comfortable with.

Right now, the DAW I feel most comfortable with is Sonar. I have an up to date license for Studio One Artist, and I plan to keep it that way unless it gets too spendy.

For the record, the news that Sonar and Next were being released with no perpetual license option really…Read More
