Right here, if I start listing, it won't stop but off the top of my head, the first album I ever heard at 7yo was Cypress Hill's Temple of Boom III, and just off the top of my head some records that didnt leave my cd player were The Roots Illadelph Halflife, Common's Ressurection album, MHz Tablescraps. Bahamadia Kollage, Rascalz Cash Crop, Citizen Kane - Deliverance. I could go on forever.

Was trying to mention albums that don't always get mentioned...La The Darkman Heist of the Century but then you have classics Nas Illmatic (or any)...Wu Tang (any) Mobb Deep (any) I was far more into east coast...all of the Jazzmataz albums from Guru was on rotation too.

There's definitely a mix of an age group here, it's never too late to learn. I'm in my mid 30's did music production in college because I didn't actually either have the prerequisites to pursue audio engineering at some well known schools, or the money to pay tuition. What I learned in college was basic stuff and covered just about everything for independent musicianship from songwriting, to production, business/law, marketing, mixing and mastering. It was great, only 25 out of 500 applicants got accepted each term and the group was small enough that I still keep in touch with a few of them. However, I was young, didn't know how to network and pretty damn immature. I ended up going to school for several different things, eventually landing a stable job in nothing that I studied lol. It was with a stable job and personal growth/maturity that I was able to start investing in what I wanted, like most people here, I began attending Fix the Mix's and taking notes from there, checked out some of the youtube knowledge which helped me improve, so when the intensives came out, I hopped on each and every one since it was flexible and affordable enough for me to do. When you go to college/university and finish all the programs 4 different times, there isn't much inclination to drop money on a full program again, especially when time is more limited. But learning through mastering.com helped me level up more than I anticipated, helped me develop the confidence to continue investing (literally) in my growth and take myself seriously enough so that others would too. I'm still working towards building clients, but I can honestly say with the improvements I've made through the intensives and practice, I finally landed some freelance work....emphasis on Free...yet I've never been more happier and in my element. So it goes to say that, I think a lot of us would have done things differently looking back and comparing where we are now, but that's what would hold you back. You're here now, with like-minded, supportive people which is probably far different from what any of us had so celebrate the fact that even at your age, you're still open-minded enough to continue learning, improving and growing. That says a lot about who you are that deserves respect.

This was cool af

@Maike Beckers Lol, I'm glad the shortcut worked, it's still not a real solution but it seems like you're not the only one experiencing this, hopefully a Logic user will hop on this thread, in the meantime I found this, not sure if you tried any of these possible solutions but it's worth a try https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256235451?sortBy=rank it seems like its a bug after the update, but the update has been out for awhile so I'm not quite sure. I hope you find the actual fix soon, I know how frustrating it can be.

@Kenny Comack ahahahaha, I guess you can tell I've never been a Logic user lmao

I'm not sure how appropriate this is but I've enjoyed a lot of the content and learned a ton from the content mastering.com has put out. One thing I recalled that pissed me off a while back was paying for the mastering intensive which racked up to be around $700 with the US to CAD conversion, then about a month or something later there was a free mastering event or learning how to master in 7 days for I think just VIP members...and when I compared the paid intensive vs. VIP, all that was missing was stuff about multiband and m/s which is huge but I felt ripped off as someone who paid for the intensive and pays for monthly membership. I value the intensive courses a lot, and your freebie content is extraordinary but as someone who pays monthly, I'm not sure how much value I get out of this aside from having access to mentor calls and replays considering that a lot of the VIP classroom material is content readily available on youtube. Someone mentioned a discount on intensives for those paying for membership and at this time that's the only thing I can echo from a personal standpoint.

@Rob Mayzes thank you for the clarification and the screenshot Rob, I was solely focused on the content but you're right that the value comes from the mentorship. Someone had mentioned having "refreshers" for people that completed the intensives to get extra support which I think can offer non-TRE members extra value, I'm not sure if everyone who takes the intensive courses are paying members but if they're not, offering some sort of check in for them might be useful. I know people can pay for extra mentor calls but many people mentioned having 2 calls per month can be useful. I agree with that cause it allows for a quick follow up after receiving feedback/revising.
