Openmastering

Bitwig and Presonus just released an open source exchange format between DAW. It would even transfer automation data which seemed to be until now a pain point. I think it's a good thing to be able to collaborate with other musicians easily.

So what do you guys think?

When I'm not mastering I work with the team from analogvibes, painstakingly re-creating iconic analog hardware for recording studios.

We're launching a DIY version of a Tube Opto compressor (aka LA2A "Silverplate") really soon. If you're into DIY and sound, this compressor is killer on vocals and bass, and, well everything you throw at it. The silverplate edition is a treasure from the late 70's

Full kits are quite rare and we're confident in our experience launching other products this way. Subscribe to our launch newsletter if you'd love to have fresh, high quality new old gear in your rack.

Punk Labs just released OneTrick Simian, an audio Plugin drum machine perfect for this vintage drum sound. If you're doing any kind of retrowave, synthwave, vaporware etc, it's just perfect. Give it a try and tell us how you like it. And share your music.

And I really like their website and marketing!

I did a sample pack for musicians using a modular synthesizer a while ago. It's made of 23 Risers for different music genres. I hosted it for a while on another platform, and as I'm moving to a more robust solution, I want to share it again with you all #musicians.

The risers are CC0, there's no E-Mail trap, no tracking, nothing. They are entirely free. Click the link, download them, et voilà!

Enjoy, make music

I'm not affiliated, but I like the look and feel of inkline. At the moment, they are working on porting it to Vue3. It's a nice alternative to Veautify etc.

I started learning web development with it. And I really enjoy the format so far. Have you ever tried to learn web dev online?

Is it a good thing for developing fast mobile pages? Or yet another Google gimmick that will disappear in 3 years?

great audio mix tip to thicken a complete mix and bring important elements forward:

It's a parallel mixbus compression technique from Andrew Scheps. No need to watch the 10 minutes long video here it is:

• create a bus with any kind of compressor.
• send all tracks except the drums to this bus. The sends have be post fader.
• Compress the bus aggressively (fast-medium attack, fast release, 4:1 ratio up to 10dB gain reduction)
• bring the bus fader up until it blends and thickens all your front elements.
• Play with your compressors characters, try different ones etc. That's the creative side. -Enjoy
