How to use Plugins when Mixing. General Approach.

This vid is a very loose explanation of how to use plugins when mixing. Such a crazy complex subject, so many different ways to do it. But you get the idea of how I approach it, and some of what I explain is sort of standard for most people mixing songs. Hopefully you get something out of it.

Have you let the developers know about this "General Error" that can be cleared by playing a clip? Sounds like you've been around a while, and they're interested in squashing old bugs like this. I've been using Cakewalk intensively for the past 5 years and haven't run across that error. Looks like you're a Fabfilter and Waves man. I'm more of a Meldaproduction and Brainworx man. Meldaproduction has that great MFreeFX bundle. The compressor and EQ in it are first class.
BTW, didn't you say about a year ago that you were switching to Cubase? Did that not work out?

Me neither, never happened. Also, I was thinking the same thing! I thought you were moving to Cubase? Changed your mind?

Thanks for this. Interesting to see the plugins being used, pretty awesome. ..and ya I've been juggling back and forth between Cubase and Cakewalk. I've known Cakewalk for a long while, and for sure, it's hard to separate from her. I doubt that will ever happen, but I needed to vent about it all. What can I say. The error is probably based around older projects that I've been remixing. Not going to contact them about it.
