Merry Christmas, Paul.
(that's some sweater!)

[@PaulThomsonMusic]

lol! thanks!

[@brendanwalsh108]

Thanks, Paul. I haven't got anything like as many plugins as you have so I enjoy trying to recreate those marvellous sounds with what I do have. Great starting point. Merry Christmas.

[@PaulThomsonMusic]

Thanks Brendan! In fact I often also just use stock plugins. The Logic and Cubase plugins are really very good indeed, and theres a whole study around whether we can tell the difference or not in a blind test! Often you are influenced by what you are looking at.. Hope you are having a good break!

great stuff Paul. Merry Christmas x

Xtended Vox swelling into that epic verb woulda made for a sweet addition to the track… guess ill have to add it myself ;-)

[@synkrotron]

erm, that Cm thing... that's a drone...
and with the layers
works very well
especially with the reverb

[@dafingaz]

Nice

I love your jumper! Polaris is a fantastic tool as are all of the others. Hope you don't mind a few questions. What type of tablet are you using for a mouse? Do you find it is better for your wrist? Have you given up on outboard reverbs? Thanks.

[@PaulThomsonMusic]

Thanks! I'm using a Wacom tablet. I do find it good for my RSI, but the only downer is some things don't quite work (Login pan for example) so I need to dig a bit deeper when I have time! Still got an M7 but mostly using software so that I can stem more easily.

[@spadogs]

Thank you. I have tried using my Wacom tablet but also had issues. For now I am settled with a logitech track (thumb) ball. Please let me know if you find a better solution. @@PaulThomsonMusic
