When the record industry moved from mono to stereo in the ’50s and ’60s, it entered a golden age.

I would mix a representative song using only the bundled Pro Tools plug‑ins, and use the Comments field in each track to explain what I was doing with them. I hope the experience was as educational for him as it was for me.
Sam Inglis.Putting 95 percent of your plug‑ins off‑limits, and describing in beginner‑friendly terms what the others are actually doing, makes you realise how much of what we do is pure habit. Take drums, for example. Under normal circumstances, there are three third‑party plug‑ins that I use on pretty much every drum mix: Sound Radix’s Drum Leveler, Eventide’s Precision Time Align and EastWest’s QL Spaces 2 reverb. Having to do without them made me realise exactly why I reach first for those plug‑ins, and not the many other, outwardly similar, processo
