Well. I botched the test. Well at least I missed a big part of the story. In this video I redo the test and tell you the WHOLE story! It's been over a month since I migrated to the Mac Studio from a 2013 Mac Pro Trash Can. was curious how many tracks the M1 Ultra could handle at once so I put it to the test. I missed an important detail in the last test so I share what is slowing down the computer and I redo the test to see how many tracks we can REALLY stack in one project. I really wanted to know if the Mac Studio is truly the Music Production solution for home studios. Well, this test reveals all and shows you how to keep that Mac Studio running efficiently for all of your Video and Music Productions. I also explore hpw apps running in Rosetta compare to Native M1 applications. Is this the difference make when testing the speed of the M1 Ultra Chip? Watch to find out!

If you buy Audio Plugins for your DAW you really should understand that different companies have different license policies. Do you actually own that third party plugin? Will you have to pay again? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're buying any plugins this channel gets a small commission if you buy them here: https://pluginboutique.com/?a_aid=61735dcc61325 Other Offers: https://www.loopmasters.com/?a_aid=61735dcc61325 https://loopcloud.com/?a_aid=61735dcc61325 Stream your music.

There is an audio plugin for every function of music production and mixing. And they bring functionality to your home studio that would be far too expensive in the physical world. But, when you buy a plugin, do you actually own it? What are the policies of Waves Plugins, Brainworx and Slate Digital? Do companies like Izotope and Fabfilter provide support for legacy versions of their plugins? What about Softube and Soundtoys? What happens if you change your computer or operating system and the compatibility of your plugin breaks? Will the plugin developer offer you the latest version of the plugin or will you have to pay again? Different companies have different policies. Waves has their Update Plan. Fabfilter updates their plugins with new features. Slate Digital offers a subscription service. I researched 11 plugin companies and compare their license policies. Are the Best Plugin Companies the ones with the fairest policies? This is certainly something to consider when you buy plugins for your DAW.

Not sure why they are different or when to use them? In this tutorial I explain the differences between compressors and limiters and how to understand better when to use them. Controlling dynamics is a key function of mixing and limiters and compressors play a huge roll in that. In your quest to get better mixes you need to master Limiters and Compressors. Next to an EQ they are critical pieces of the puzzle. Limiters are not just for mastering. Compressors can be used throughout your miox but there are so many different types of compressors.
