Hey guys,
 
I just uploaded a great show with Dave on Plug-ins. More shows involving plug-ins to follow in the future with attention to actual use and effect. I think this segment did a nice job of initiating those who are more recent to plug-in use . I really appreciated Dave's willingness to give us some of his insights and views on DAW plug-ins.

Since I don't actively advertise this show. I would appreciate any help you could give in the way of forwarding links on your social media and audio sites. Not many people know we are here yet and that has been ok up until now because I had been working out some of the kinks. Now I think it's time to get the word out, so any help in that regard is very much appreciated.
 
If you are a vendor and you might want me to test one of your products, please let me know and we'll talk. starise@comcast.net
 
I don't intend this to be a money making venture, but as in everything there are expenses involved and I'm looking into ways to support the show. If I like and use your product I would consider a small sponsor for advertising....the main objective though, is to offer relevant information that is helpful to the computer music and musician community at large. I appreciate that Cakewalk has allowed me to post here and I'll continue to tell my listeners what a great product X3 is and that it is my main DAW.
 
Some of my future plans include both high  and low profile people who are good at what they do. I would love to interview some of the folks in the know at Cakewalk at some point and I already have some great people lined up for future shows. I'm also planning more videos and articles. If you are an audio engineer who writes technical articles for publication and wants another place to write, please send me an inquiry as well.
 
 

That was really cool! Thanks Starise and bitflipper for making it happen.
 
One subject for a show could be "preamps". A sort of voodoo subject. Anyway, great job, i'll be tuning in again.

If you could put a link to facebook a lot more people could share your podcast by liking it. That way you have a bigger audience to work with. Great podcast. Highly recommended.

Thank you Tim and Dave. I have a much better understanding of plugins and the DAW in general after listening to the program. Keep up the good work.

Ahem, that's soundbytesmag.net, Dave, not soundbytesmag.org. 

Whatever you do, make NO MENTION of pixie dust or mojo :)

Great interview, thanks!

Sorry guys I dropped off the radar for a bit.....not for bit...ok you know what I mean, I'm glad you enjoyed the show 
Backwoods- I love me some preamps...I would love to do a show on pre amps sometime. Much like compressors though, there's the simple description and then there's the more complex. Phrases like "it sounds magical" probably wouldn't cut it. Preamps seem to fall into the realm of debate....maybe not outright debate but very subjective and everyone has their favorites and some are more opinionated than others on what works and what they like...nothing wrong with that. I could make the show very interesting if I took two opposing opinions and put them in a discussion together....or it might get ugly  at least folks can't make physical contact on a radio show.....Maybe some discussion on the advantages of out board preamps in general and the differences, why they sound the way they do or different from something else, what might be the most cost effective route to get the best results...that kind of thing.
 
Danny- Thank you! Not long ago I was on Facebook all the time and I remember being a little peeved that there were all of these companies crowding out  what started out as a social site. Maybe I should revisit the idea...maybe it doesn't affect everyone the same way. I guess only the people who are interested would follow it.....great suggestion and reminder! 
 
Schafe- Thanks man! I don't think I even got into the .001 percent of what Dave knows about plug-ins.....I still think it's fun to try different 3rd party plug-ins, I have to say though that I also I love the Pro Channel in Sonar X3. The new EQ is very musical now that we can expand it and it has that background freq analyzer. The best thing about using Sonar and PC with 3rd party is that you have the best of both worlds. You are free to use your vsts in it in any arrangement pre or post. I find myself using PC and adding 3rd party plug-ins with it...a knockout punch. I picked up many of the PC specific plugs so I already have a lot in the tool kit before any 3rd party plug ever gets involved.
 
dmbaear- Thanks for that clarification! I attempted to go there and got to a soundbytes site but it was the wrong one...I also need to clarify that the Bass issue of Computer magazine came with a CD but it wasn't the issue with the most free vsts. I think it was the issue before that one....as another side note, Blue Cat also offers a nice set of free starter plug-ins. I think there are several other companies out there like Melda who offer a hand full of free plug-ins. Great places to try out alternative solutions. Many of these companies offer free demo downloads so you can try before you buy.
 
Backwoods- I try and make every attempt not to bring pixie dust up....mojo? Isn't that something else? 
 
Sharke, Thanks for listening! I hope you got ARC working ok!

Dot NET...duh. Well, if that's the only factual error I made while rambling on unrehearsed for an hour then I'll be surprised. 

Thanks Dave  for being on the show!
