@flakebelly.bsky.socialGreetings friends! I made a thing! fBox is my virtual analogue studio. fComp: nine compressors in one plugin, and not one of them is digital. Nine separate engines, not nine presets.
Free for 14 days, no card or account.
@dtm-psytrance.bsky.socialTonight: retune speed test on a scratch take. 20 ms retune, robotic across the syllables. 45 ms retune, smoother but pitchy on runs. 70 ms retune, kept for the final take. #synthsky #Mixing

@dtm-psytrance.bsky.socialMuddy mix isn't the bass. Check 250-400 Hz - that's where guitars, pads and vocal body pile up into sludge. Cut there first, low end comes after. #ableton #Mixing
@sonicodyssey.bsky.socialWhat’s ONE plugin you couldn’t live without?
For me… it’s a fight between Pro-Q and the Distressor.
Here’s my full chain and how I actually use it across a mix.
@sonicodyssey.bsky.socialA lot of plugins claim analog
Softube actually gets close
Updated this with the best deals on their plugins right now

@dtm-psytrance.bsky.socialBig Man Labs' Bigulator hit v1.0.1 - a free analog-modeled clipper, no catch. It sounds like an overdriven tape saturator: thick, gritty, fast harmonic bite. Not built for transparent mastering - use it for drum bus grit or bass warmth instead. #musicproduction #Mixing

@dtm-psytrance.bsky.socialKick and sub bass were smearing together below 80 Hz, turning the low end to mud. Added a sidechain-triggered EQ cut on the bass at 60 Hz, -4 dB, timed to the kick's decay. Low end tightened up without touching either fader. #musicproduction #Mixing
