Seriously? I guess I'll have to check it out... Last album I bought was Koi No Yokan. Got to meet them all at the grand opening of a Zia Records in Phoenix, or at least shake their hands and say hi.

Ohms

I'm Deftones fan since the 90s. The previous couple of albums were honestly a bit shallow. I was excited to hear they work again with Terry Data, and now the new record is released and WHOA
Was not expecting this :yowza:
I feel it's up there with the White Pony

Just to narrow down on the culprit, can you install REAPER (simply download installation file and it starts a demo) and see whether it works with your plugins?

Re: Mixing multiple projects at the same time

But I'll also add: if a band has a production vision that can lead you to a better mix, then by all means let them do it. You just need to know if/when you will have to translate 'their terms' into actual mix decisions. Yes, the tricky part. I'm well underway on one project and it seems to proceed ...

Yes, while it may be absurd, and of course I won't try to distort clarinet, but if I listen to something for a long time, it starts to sound "right" and I need some time to refresh my hearing. I have learned I need to take breaks every hour or so when working on something for this very re...

In this day and age of instant recalls, mixing over the Internet and multiple revisions it is not uncommon to jump between projects. This is certainly not new to me, too.

Actually, I learned that the band's ideas as awkward as what they may seem can be "right". And also you don't have to treat references literally, what they after can be an overall vibe, not the exact sound.

Re: CLAMixHub

OK, so I made a layout where I added all the EQ controls of a channelstrip I use to the track panel, and from that viewpoint, you saved me $69, as it worked quite nicely.
OTOH as an SSL channelstrip it is really nice, certainly better than the old model.
The Mic control is also interesting.
