[@BeatsByOsee]

Can you do a tutorial with UAD plug-ins or waves also?

[@DolbyAtmosMixing]

I don’t own UAD but I do use certain plugins from Waves. However, for specific tasks like sub low enhance or transient shaping I like plug-in alliance.

[@andrexaviermusic]

I feel like this is more of a plugin ad: "and then what I like to do is layer on this plugin"

[@dagalost1949]

MAAT EQ got many Equalizers, which should i get for beat making production?
Thanks

[@bf2853]
