I was easily flattered, amused and embarrassed

When I was recently asked how I processed some tracks on a collab.

The truth was it was single Waves plugin (from the CLA Artist series).

End of story.

I was quite surprised a couple of years ago when a good friend of ours who also happens to be an accomplished mixer told me that he often used Logic's channel strip presets when mixing.

Personally, I'm always trying to learn as much as I can so I tend to do things the hard way. That being said, we shouldn't be kidding ourselves.

A lot of us these days do the jobs of an entire crew back in the days - from engineering, to songwriting, programing, performing, mixing, producing and mastering... On top of having to deal w/ all the computer-related stuff. At some point, we have to pick our battles.

For me it was - switch to Mac, forget about mastering, take advantage of the amazing drums libraries and apps like Superior Drummer. At the end of the day, it's all about the song.

Yes, it isn't the tool it is how you use the tool! Be proud!
