I'm finding comfort in the thought of Garges talking Steve's ear off right now. Along with Mark Rubel. At one point Mark's goal was to have all of the same quirky instruments as Steve. I remember going to Pogo once and he was excited because he'd just gotten a little spinet piano he was going to ma...

I usually set Preferences/Display to Tracks and MIDI Devices and Track Color then I can group drums as one color, guitars another, bass another, etc. It really helps when you are looking at a bunch of track and trying to find somethings... I don't think there is any standard though so I just have m...

I've never heard of that.

There's a thread on the People/Places forum, but I think this news is too big to not be mentioned where most people on our forum hang out. Steve was 61 and died of a heart attack.

This is quite a shock.

Didn't Adobe buy CEP and rebrand it as Audition? Maybe a lot of your workflow things are still there, just in a different name.

I like solo safe as default on Aux Tracks. That way if I'm, for instance, soloing the drum group, my parallel compressor is still active, and I like effects staying active with solo. I've got no interest in dark mode. And I agree color coding REALLY makes it so much easier to navigate mixer and edit...

I use the UAD API strip on the kick a lot. For something like that it's great having everything there in one instance. The SSL one is good too. They both get used a little more when I'm mixing something that I didn't record as I look at them as 'problem solvers'. Another really good one if you have...

that site that I put a link to earlier in this thread has an email they send out maybe every week (or two?). It's not spammy, and while I'm not really looking for training (or at least not to pay for it :lol: ), they often have a short, free video (or blog) on new features. I don't always read the ...

I think someone told me many years ago "oh, you should use playlists" and I was like "nah, I'm good. this works for me". But then I tried it and NEVER went back. I was an idiot. It saves so much time once you get the hang of it. When I first started with PT I had been on RADAR or tape. I'd do takes...

Playlists are invaluable.

Freeze and commit also an be handy when you've got a trial plugin that worked on a mix, but maybe you've decided you don't want to purchase it. Clip gain is so useful, especially when still in tracking and production mode. Fix errant things, get the track lying how you want it, general balance thing...

If you're ever driving north through Illinois, stop by and hear mine. That’s awesome, I appreciate the offer! If you're ever driving north through Illinois, stop by and hear mine. I'd be tempted too, but I'd argue with the "north" bit. I'm not quite on the Wisconsin border, but closer to there than...

That's a well thought out and interesting system. Nice work!

But that magic low mids thing IMO is more about balances and eq than ITB or OTB - being very selective about where you add top end and how much is such a big part of it. Can you expand on this a bit? Also agree with the Peter Katis thing whenever possible. I spent a while experimenting with the tap...
