^^^^^ Sometimes you gotta use two! I've had 3 going more than once.....

In mastering, a de-esser is as important as the eq or the limiter. I've fixed so many sibilants, at this point I think I could do it in a coma. :D Essence is an amazing piece of work, but tbh I mostly use that for controlling subs/boomy bass. My de-esser of choice is still the venerable Spitfish, st...

...and be more of a pain in the ass to use.

Right. Except anyone doing this will quickly realize they need an eq before the limiter, and probably a de-esser, and....welcome to mastering.

Snarl could try and find some old L2 hardware (they're going for around $1400 on Reverb right now), and while that would be loads better and more appropriate for what he wants to do than an RNC or ART or TC whatever, it's still basically outdated junk and he'd do way way way better using the $60 plu...

I'm looking for a set and forget, one trick pony here. Then it's up to me how much I push into it with my mix. I'm so...

HA! Nice. We should see if we can get Jeff Robinson to kick in $35.

^^^^ Beautiful top on that thing!

It's at 90% now!

The Mahalia Jackson/Mavis Staples duet on that suuuuuuper slow blues was unbelievable.

Where does one get reconditioned Herman Miller chairs?
