    Personally when i'm stuck i use Cthulhu , harmony improvisator, liquid music and my problem is usually gone.

    My secret weapon nowadays is Elevate from Eventide. Underated as usual with genious tools. Boost Pro is also a fantastic stereoizer. My 2 cents.

    Reference tracks and decades of archived unfinished ideas. lol

    Oh, and a trusted partner in crime to bounce ideas and get creative with. That always seems to stimulate my talents from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde.

    As cheap the mixer is, the good the pream will sound.

    You are not the only one thinking like this (especially on dirty guitar tracking)

  15. Well, if I had a secret weapon, it's this: keep everything as clean and digitaly clear as you possibly can, and then add just a bit of analog colour right at the end.

    Well, I always use [REDACTED] on all of my tracks. I used to use [CENSORED] until I found out about [REMOVED]. Now, my tracks sell for hundred of thousands of dollars!

  20. I have the UAD version of that, and it's a pain in the butt. Most EQs you just slap 'em on the insert, twiddle the knobs a bit and away you go. This is like cracking the combination on a safe. I'm talking modular time. And you have to use 'cause you've got it.

    Happy days.
