More fun from The Disaster Room!
I know, last time I said we’d talk about “pink noise mixing” this week, but Korg has upended that plan: multi/poly native is here, so even though a lot of people have beaten me to the punch, we’ve got to talk about that!
I’ve also started to put my money where my mouth is with regards to trimming down the studio. We’ll see how well that works out …
