@dtm-psytrance.bsky.socialBoom bap losing punch on laptop speakers? Check 300-500 Hz - stacked sampled loops pile up there and bury kick/snare. Cut before touching the master bus. #ableton #Mixing

@dtm-psytrance.bsky.socialI duplicate every snare, pitch the copy down 12 semitones, and blend it back in at -18dB so the hit feels bigger. Doesn't matter if it's techno or a ballad - I do it even when the snare already sounds perfect. #musicproduction #Mixing
@dtm-psytrance.bsky.socialUAD's original FATSO tape sim locked you into UAD-2 DSP hardware. The new FATSO Native version runs as a plain VST/AU on any machine, no Apollo or Satellite required. Same Empirical Labs tape circuit, zero hardware tax. Native wins. #musicproduction #Mixing
@dtm-psytrance.bsky.socialUAD's FATSO tape/compressor hybrid just went native - no Apollo, no Satellite box required. For years that glue sound was locked behind buying their hardware first. Native means anyone can load it like a normal plugin now. Long overdue. #musicproduction #Mixing
@sonicodyssey.bsky.socialI will not apologize for the amount of delay and reverb in my mixes.
I’ve tried using less.
It did not go well.
Here’s what I actually use on every track.
@dtm-psytrance.bsky.socialChasing that Sea Change acoustic tone tonight. 3 mic positions tested, 2 killed for boom. 1 take survived, gain staged at -18dBFS. 0 compression on the way in, like Godrich did. #synthesizer #Mixing
@sonicodyssey.bsky.socialA little saturation goes a long way. Subtle use can add density and glue, push it harder and you’re into full-on tone shaping. Some solid deals up right now.

@dtm-psytrance.bsky.socialLow end clash isn't the sub fighting back - it's 200-400Hz where kick body and bass overlap hardest. #musicproduction #Mixing
@sonicodyssey.bsky.socialMix engineers: what’s the EQ plugin you reach for first? Pro-Q? Something from Plugin Alliance? A classic Waves EQ? I’m tracking the latest Plugin Boutique EQ plugin deals here.
@sonicodyssey.bsky.socialIf vocals are the hardest part of your mixes, you’re not alone. I lean on tools like iZotope Nectar more than I’d like to admit.
Here are the best vocal plugin deals right now.

@sonicodyssey.bsky.socialMost “best plugin” lists are theory.
This is my actual signal chain. These are the plugins I use on every mix and why they’re there.

@sonicodyssey.bsky.socialHot take:
Most people are mixing on the wrong headphones.
What are YOU using right now?
Here are the best options if you want your mixes to actually translate:

@dtm-psytrance.bsky.socialKick and bass fighting for the same 60-120Hz pocket is the real low-end killer. Carve one out instead of boosting both louder. #synthsky #Mixing
