I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season before I shut it down. I'll be out of town till the 28th and won't have access to a computer so if you have something urgent, you can reach out to support@mastering.com ...You can send me a DM and I'll check them first chance I get ... probably not before the 28th ... but I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I sincerely wish the best for all of you and look forward to working with you in 2026 (wow ... it'll be 50 years since graduation HS ... crap, I'm old) Let's have a great break, and make the New Year the best one ever!!! See ya around the virtual campus.

What would it be? Right now… for me it would be a toss up between a Massive Passive, Pultec… or The Swift from Thermionic Culture. I’ll let you know if I decide 🤷‍♂️

In line with the event that’s happening this week… what’s your favourite channel strip, and why? I’m really loving the Super 9000 at the moment, will get into this on today’s session!

For those who don't know, for the last 6 months or so I've been hosting weekly Music Composition calls on Wednesday evenings for Mastering.com Members. We went through a 6-week course that taught music theory, composition and arrangement concepts. After that, the students wrote to practice sync-briefs and shared their work in the calls for feedback. It's been a fun experience watching everyone in the course learn and up their composer chops, and learning from / collaborating with each other. With the holidays coming up, I'll just be doing one more of these feedback calls to wrap up for 2025, and will start them back up again in mid January next year. Thanks to all the peeps who have been coming to the calls and helping each other learn and grow. P.s. By popular demand, here is my sync spreadsheet that anyone can use to compare different sync libraries, catalogs and music houses to send our music to. https://sapphire-badge-605.notion.site/c8b9958807264b90a294745fbb4b18a0?v=201ccf4b37c248e28776ac25ecc4ff6e That's all, BYE!
