Just some light listening to end the month of May. Enjoy!

With actual tape, saturation and compression go hand in hand, due to a phenomenon called self-erasure. After a certain signal level, adding more signal puts less signal on the tape. I'm surprised that Waves would have missed this...that's why printing drums to analog tape is still so popular. I'm a...

Is it okay to add reviews for effects plugins? If so, here goes... The Waves J37 Stereo Tape Saturation Plugin I love this plugin. It's not perfect, and lacks a few things I'd like to see, but it really lets you mangle your sounds with its current features. My favorite aspects of the plugin are the ...

Looks very cool. If I didn't use Maschine already I would grab this + FL Studio for sure

Very cool!

Lovely!

Very nice.

Hope you enjoy!

Hey all! It's been awhile, but I'm back making music. Feel free to check out some of my stuff here - https://therealfluent.bandcamp.com/album/mixed-bag-1 features my Moog Grandmother with the square wave lead later in the song. Lots of mixed synth stuff here, if you don't find what you like at first...

I regularly multi-band compress my synth lines in tracks because when you go up or down an octave or 2 the notes tend to not be as even in volume due to the different frequencies. Example - playing a synth solo in the mid-range that gradually gets higher and higher. The hi...

I prefer using Lightweight Limiter as my limiter... There's a bunch of free limiters you can use, but LoudMax is the easiest one to use. Just turn down the threshold a little bit and voila! If you need more control you can use Lightweight Limiter or something else. By the way, thanks for dropping t...

I really like "The Knock". Good work!

Hey thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial and share it with all of us. It's always fun to see how other's do it and the equipment they use. Thanks again :) No problem. :) Using free tools you can really get some sweet results. I'm still learning (and there is a LOT to learn) but I've gotte...

Hello everyone! I recently made a little tutorial where I created a mastering effects chain using all completely free plugins. The tutorial was designed for people who have been curious about mastering but aren't quite sure what goes into the process. I'm not a professional (far from it!), but I use...

Updated the 2nd track.
