    This tutorial is absolutely brilliant. Definitely put some more tools in my mixing tool belt. Thank you for sharing this and also explaining the “whys” of why you made your choices. So good. I’m def going to share this with some of my mixing friends. Well done.

    I like the comment you made that people like vocals and people like fx and it takes a lot of finessing to get them to sit together correctly when talking about using the flanger after the delay to further shape the sound of the delay to keep it clear.

    Hey man you should start doing vocal effect videos with your waves plug INS to mimic different sounds that artists have created. Not only do I think it would be successful I also think that it would appeal to a whole new crowd of people.
