SoundToys is giving away six plugins. I've been impressed with SpaceBlender, so I will load up on these. I got Little PrimalTap (delay) today and I would guess the other freebees will be Little Plate (reverb), Devil-Loc (leveler/exciter), Little Radiator (tube amp), and so on.
12 Days of Soundtoys
Get up to 6 free gifts from Soundtoys December 8-19, 2025. Happy holidays and thanks for being part of the Soundtoys community!

C2PA allows you to both establish authenticity and opt out of using your assets for generative AI training systems.

I've reached that point in my mix engineering journey where today I'm all, "I need a multiband compressor for some sidechaining experiments." The bad news: there is none in #LogicPro. The good news: we bought ourselves #izotope for Christmas! #musicproduction #musicengineering #compression #mixing

So I asked #chatgpt for three uptempo #hallandoates songs that featured acoustic guitar in the verses, and it failed miserably. Anyone know a good AI engine, or better #prompt, for this sort of thing?

It is #teletuesday, and while I usually don't, I just broke the high E string on this amazing #fender #paralleluniverse telecaster thinline super deluxe, and it reminded me that it is one of my favorite guitars. The TV jones scream in the best way, and it sounds and feels and good as it looks!

I went to install and activate #guitarrig7 and had a heart-stopping moment when it didn't appear in my licenses even though I just purchase #izotope #musicproductionsuite7. Long story short, #Izotope and #Nativeinstruments are still merging so it's a little messy, but I found it.
