This episode of Recording Studio Rockstars is brought to you by atom audio, isotope, native instruments,

empirical labs, sound porter mastering, and trace audio. You're hearing my voice right now through

custom trace audio cables and the new empirical labs pump compressor mixed through isotope RX ozone, neutron,

nectar, and plasma, all mixed on atom audio monitors. Please check out our awesome sponsors

using the links in the show notes. It's a great way to help support this show. Now get ready

to rock. I probably switched to Reaper,

maybe five, six years ago. I think all the updates and changing company, I think Gibson bought them.

And it was just getting weird for me. And I was like, I'm recording rock bands. I don't need to do any

sequencing and stuff. If I'm going to involve that kind of stuff, I usually sub it out. I know some people

that are really good at that stuff. And in my world, in the contracting world, that's what you do.

That's how you get a good product, I think.

Welcome to Recording Studio Rockstars.

I'm Lid Shaw, and this is the podcast created to help you become a rock star of the recording studio.

At Isatope, saturation just got a whole lot smarter.

Introducing the new isotope plasma plugin to supercharge your sound by giving your tracks exactly what they need, precisely when and where they need it.

Unlike traditional saturators that apply a static effect,

plasma's groundbreaking flux saturation technology

analyzes your sound and applies dynamic processing,

adding targeted warmth, depth, and character

to bring out the best in your mixes and masters.

Use the secret code, Rock 10, to get 10% off the new plasma or any of the awesome plugins at isotope.com.
