Looking for plugin recommendations. As I upgraded to a newer DAW and added 4 new Wave Central plugins including the PAZ Analyzer it has been recommended I seek suggestions for plugins. My systems supposedly doesn't support AVX2 but I have been able to use VST3 plugins. Looking forward to your suggestions.

Hey foks The project BPM I have for this FTM sounds waaayy slower than what Kevin was working with in the chat. I think I saw someone asking in the chat yesterday and thought the answer was going to be posted in the community forum. Can someone drop it in response to this thread? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an original composition for our Fix the Mix with Orchestral Tools. I’ve honestly been blown away by the responses. Many of you left comments, sent me DMs, or emailed me about it. To say thanks, I wanted to give the track, the stems, and the session a permanent home. 🔗 Song Assets: Download Link - My original mix - All the stems - The Logic Pro session (Thanks @Josh K for the idea) In Logic, you can press "H" to show hidden tracks and see all the MIDI behind the strings and orchestral parts, plus the automation I used to make the samples feel human and realistic: dynamics, expression, articulation changes, and plugin automation. If you don’t own the Orchestral Tools libraries, the instruments won’t load, but all the MIDI and automation will still be there to study and reuse. 🎵 Remix Contest I’m releasing Birth of Entropy under my tethermind project as a single on Friday, November 20, and I’d love to hear what you can do with the stems. - Remix: Any genre, any direction. Flip it, chop it, make it your own. - Deadline: Sunday, October 25 at 11:59 PM Mountain Time (Countdown Timer) - Submission: post your remix as a comment on this post (SoundCloud, Disco, or Drive link) - Prize: My favorite remix gets officially released with my original as a two-song single on November 20, on Spotify, Apple Music, and all streaming platforms. You’ll be credited as the remixer and receive 50% of the remix’s streaming royalties. Stems are for this contest and personal practice. Please don’t release your remix publicly until the contest wraps; I’ll share full details on usage after the single is out.

I met Peter through our community when he brought a single to me for mastering. Soon after, he asked me to mix and master his whole album, Towards the Light. And I'm so grateful he did. From the first listen, I loved his music. It reminds me of the Beatles: so alive, warm, and full of soul. What stayed with me most was the intention behind every song and lyric. Peter wrote with purpose and heart. He was in France, and I'm in the US, so it usually took us full days to get back to each other, but every exchange was productive and fun. On our Zoom calls, I'd share my screen and walk him through what I was doing and why, and he'd give me thoughtful feedback. He knew when to push back with his artistic vision, and when to trust me, which made working with him so collaborative and fun. Halfway through the project, my wife and I were listening to his song When I'm Gone together. We both teared up and just looked at each other. I took a quick selfie of the two of us, smiling with wet eyes, and sent it to Peter to tell him how much his song had touched us. I'm so glad I did, I think it meant a lot to him. Music was one of many paths in Peter's life. He was an author and an avid traveller. This album still mattered deeply to him, and I feel honored that he let me be part of it. It's rare to become real friends with a client you've never met in person. I'm thankful for the friendship Peter and I built across all those miles. I'll be listening to his music again this week, and I hope you'll give it a listen too. Rest well, Peter. Luke Despain
