May be a feeble excuse but six of my audio files seem to have corruption does anyone else see this or did my download just not happen well.

It's mostly volume, panning, very moderate EQ and a couple of instances of the reverb and a delay.  I went for a live band aesthetic.  Only the vocal has compression on it.  The Sonitus single-band compressor is perhaps my least favorite of the suite.  I used the Sonitus multiband compressor on the master bus reluctantly, just because most expect a certain volume level.  

The Sonitus effects are perfectly acceptable but they really don't have that last 10% that takes it into sonic nirvana.  Plugins have come a long way since the early days of digital.

I'm not sure I get the idea, unless it's to demonstrate that the Sonitus FX can do a lot more than people give them credit for, maybe?

Naw, I just wanted to see what people learn about themselves when they are limited to simple plugins and a time restraint :)

Why just 30 min? I like to take forever to mix!



It's going to take me more than 30 minutes just to get set up within X3.
I'm going to use this for practice and learn from you experts.
One thing I already know about myself is that I have a lot to learn !
 
 




Great!

Really, There is always a time constraint when I mix. How long until I get bored with it. :-)
 
I spent a lot of time grabbing FX Chains and pulling in the Sonitus Fx (4 levels deep in menus).
 
If I had floated the browser and just dragged in the FX with my finger, I might have had more time for configuring.
