I wrote a review about Ozone! What Neutron does to add ease to mixing, Ozone, well, Ozone is insane! There's so much stuff packed into this plugin that the amount of depth is staggering, once you look beyond the hit or miss auto mastering and presets.

Ah Ozone, iZotope's mastering suite. This one I bought myself. First, I got the iZotope Elements bundle for $50 during a December sale, and then picked up the u

Hi Fanatices! Our latest review of the Eventide SP2016 reverb is up! Is it great? Yes. Should you buy it? Yes. Should you buy it at full price? Never buy software at full price! But, still, you should absolutely get this plugin.

Anyway, presenting The Future!

Immersive audio is poised to take the industry by storm. It's no wonder, since so much of music is consumed over headphones, that we'd see a shift towards makin

I wrote an article about preproduction and how important it is! Did you know some artists don't know they need to practice before a recording session? Well, it's on you as the producer to make sure they do! Preproduction is potentially the most important part of making a record, so make sure you do it thoroughly and do it right!

Ah recording, that bedrock of this thing we do, the capturing of the evanescent moment of vibrations shimmering in the air in both mellifluent and cacophonous f

I did it. I finally finished the Neutron review. TL;DR: buy it.
