Check out this star-studded panel featuring MixedByAli, Jaycen Joshua, Sounwave, and Fabian Marasciullo as they discuss how they navigate the music industry.
Free game: When engineers are saying "I left some channels without compression" it's because they apply compression in stages with parallel channels (Compression + Limiting + Clipping which is chained to lift the sound up; EQ isn't needed all of the time when the producer is considerate to Master-Render outs during the final production).
Shout out to all these talented people...Love what they are doing for the community. I followed Fabian so it's all good now! What's the word on GP2 & Orion? Peace + Love. =)
