Fancy Plugins or Timeless Principles?😧🔌📖

A voice inside me told me when I started producing almost 2 years ago, that it was not about having fancy plugins, though this tempting voice always tugged at me hard and often, especially when watching YouTube tutorials is how your learning!🤣🫠😮‍💨

I remember fighting so hard not to buy a Valhalla Vintage Reverb at the beginning of my journey (the name and colours had me in a trance🤣😵‍💫), and thank God because I only just started understanding the actual purpose of reverb😂 - which is to provide a much needed sense of space, especially after such dead dry recordings (which I also didn’t even know my recordings were dead dry at all for a long time even while listening to other songs daily😂) So what would a new Valhalla reverb have really done for me? Just sit there tbh.

The reality I now see, is that even if I had all the fancy plugins, which I even did buy a Waves subscription eventually and still have it, if I never learned the why behind what I’m using, it’d all be in vain!

It’s like get rich quick schemes, or the path of good hard and smart work. Choose!

In conclusion, I’m glad I learned the why behind it all rather than just falling for the plugin thing!

Sorry for making this so long but it’s the love for music in me🥹❤️🙏🎶
