I know, the La2a is not really a mix buss compressor, but as we all know, there are no rules. If you like it, enjoy, if not, then try somethi...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC069 September 2020 - Winners announced

Hey there, Wow, thank you very much. Great news and a huge amount of motivation! Man, I had a tough week and a lot of trouble at work + my cell phone and some money was stolen. I didn't expect to win, mostly because this is not my genre but I had a great time mixing the song and I learned so many ne...
