What's the weirdest thing you've ever recorded? I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours. Lol 🤣. Mine was flies buzzing around a dog turd. It was for background sound effects at a Halloween party.

Hey everyone - I'm currently in the process of mixing an EP for a local band, they're great musicians but sent me very limited takes of their guitars. I've got two rhythms & one lead to work with. To get a big "wall of sound" I'm trying a few different methods - copy/pasting from second chorus take to layer onto first chorus, etc. but I'm wondering... Do you have any go-to tricks to "thicken" guitars or build bigger stacks with limited takes? Trying to avoid phasing issues & also stay true to the artistic vision, but I'd love a bigger sound.

Hey, guys. I was browsing Facebook a minute ago. They're always showing me adds for plugins and other audiophile paraphernalia since I stay googling plugins. Every now and then, I'll come across a free plugin someone is giving away. And then, once every blue moon, I'll come across a SOLID plugin they're giving away for free. This is one of them. The EQ only has three bands... but... the range on the middle band is wide, like from 300 Hz to like 7.5 kHz, so you can still do what you need to do with it though you may need to use more than you would with an EQ with four or five bands. It's got your high and low pass filters, too. And this mug is analog. It has 8x OS. I can't wait to try it out. It's only going to be free for a limited time, so you may want to go grab it. They do lie about their "sales" and "for a limited time" sometimes on Facebook ads, but I never risk it if it's something I want. Here's the link: https://audioplugin.deals/product/backs-eq-by-noiseash/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR04Q7oa9A68gw9ALyar0C1AyHDLeJURaWggfZZuoTcNS8ueI3DWwqTnIx8_aem_bl49ztTVYjGTffrAy2flbw

Would it be lazy, wrong, or cheating if I wrote the complete lyrics of a song using all of my own lyrics and entered my lyrics in to the app and asked AI to enhance it? I could then change words, phrases, arrangements, and add more inspired lyrics. Someone with songwriting skills and talent could write powerful lyrics this way. I'm using AI in other areas of my life, and I'm trying not to be shortsighted or stubborn. Using AI to enhance and correct my own material sounds valid to me. Any thoughts on using AI in this way?

My family is demanding my Christmas wishlist soon. LOL While I use 90% free plugins, I know there are some great paid ones out there. What are your must-haves I should consider adding to the list? Any category.
