I'm in a similar boat. Totally respect their business strategy/needs to focus on the reverse engineer, but I think there's also a market for folks who would love to just sit in and/or watch a three-day session like this one monthly. Especially if y'all choose a different genre demo each month. I'd probably pay $50-$100 monthly for that and continued access to this community. Even quarterly demos with skool community access could work at a different price point. And it'd be perfectly fine to have a separate "skool" from the reverse engineers, of course. Either way, this was a great experience and I'll recommend y'all highly. Fantastic work. P.S. - I recommend hiring an experienced woman to your team when possible. No shade to any of the excellent presenters you had. But representation matters, and you'll likely be leaving $ on the table for a whole market out there who will be inspired to know there's space in this industry for them and that y'all care about that. Cheers

Helpful information, but also deflating for solo musician/producer. Sometimes I have a pro mix my stuff, but I want to be able to just do my competently. It's probably blasphemous to say so, but I'd rather mix in my space as is, and figure out through "pushback/feedback" from mastering engineer(s) what some of my issues tend to be if any. At this point, I'm not trying to mix for other people. I'm not trying to win any Grammy's! LOL. And I'm not trying to reach audiophiles who can afford the most top notch equipment. If the quality is well within the passable range, at this stage in my "career", the people who are going to enjoy the music, aren't going to notice any difference. My (likely ignorant) two cents.

Wow @Nicholas Butterworth that was an awesome, comprehensive response! Very cool of you to share this knowledge. @Cito Giulini this is a 5min video I found useful on YouTube to try the "Stereo Pan" in Logic that he mentioned at the end. Good luck. https://youtu.be/riR9-NMIFbQ

Thanks @Matthew Mendoza. Their website currently says $12/annually to manage each cover. But I was confused, though, about how this part works? "DistroKid will obtain the required compulsory mechanical license for you. We'll automatically deduct the legally-mandated fee (9.1 cents or 1.75 cents per minute of playing time or fractionthereof, whichever is larger)." https://support.distrokid.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013648953-Can-I-Upload-Cover-Songs-

@Matthew Mendoza Thanks, that's what confused me is that from what I understand, each stream pays out something like $0.000023", so how can they deduct cents per stream?? But maybe that's just a one type deduction of $0.091 or $0.0175/min of the track? No need to respond, I know this is a bit off topic.

Can anyone recommend a user-friendly Frequency Analyzer and a Dynamic Range Analyzer on the Plugin-Alliance mix and master bundle? Or the Stock plugins in Logic? Thanks.
