Analogue vs digital plugins

DAW or Software Questions

I love using Waves plugins - and quite often they have an 'analog' button. I love pressing it but never really knew what the difference was or whether I could hear it! A friend eventually told me that it essentially just added some noise/tape hiss. Overall, it definitely warms up your music. Some plugins like the arturia stuff also add voltage randomisation ie a slight wobble in the sound to emulate the variation of voltage that happens with real currents! I have say arturia stuff is the best analog emulations ive ever heard! 

Mastering - where to get it down and how much to pay

General Producer Chat

Hey all

Just wondering if anyone's had any experience with mastering. Do they have recommended mastering engineers they use? Or they do it themselves? And how much is a ballpark number to pay when you're starting out?

I've heard some reccomendations before but wanted to get everyone's opinions!

Cheers

I really like that actually! Incredibly impressive for a first track too! Great production and ideas.

Ableton Note thoughts

General Producer Chat

What do people think of the new Ableton note?

Looks pretty amazing, on-the-go music making etc. Do people want to have mobile apps to make music or would you rather stick to being in the studio?

I wonder what future features etc they might bring out in updates

Track Artwork - where do you find or compile?

General Producer Chat

You can get a graphic designer to do it for you relatively cheap on Fiverr, or you can learn how to do it on photoshop!

What's your favourite track so far this year?

I've been a big fan of Scuffed Recordings this year - they release great left field techno/house and breakbeat. Naco is proper cool - I;ve been feeling this one recently -
