I'm working as a contractor through my own company so I guess I put that to my social media profiles instead of who I have a contract with :-) I pay my own salary for myself starting from October.
Right now I'm learning basics of #Inkscape because I don't have money to pay for a logo :-) It won't be great but it will be my own.
I'm using #IBM Plex font in this. I got the understanding that it is open source but have to check if the licensing terms allow to use it in a company logo.

it is crazy how acid you can get with u-he bazille without even getting even into using filters yet. phase distortion and fractalize rock

Yet another audio post. this is my basic "per-channel" use case for tape emulation. I care about the eq curve here mainly. for most sounds you want to soften the top and bottom.
It is like perfect placeholder EQ + saturation for a channel. Then by adjusting mixer gain I can go a long way before doing anything more sophisticated :-)

jarkkoTo save some time upgrading all U-he plugins I did:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
wget -q --show-progress -r -np -nd -l1 -A Mac.zip https://uhe-dl.b-cdn.net/releases/ -P dl/
for file in dl/*.zip; do unzip -j -o "$file" -d staging "*.pkg"; done
for file in staging/*.pkg; do sudo installer -pkg "$file" -target /; done

IMHO, the most useful thing in its simplicity at least I've had for MSEG in Bitwig: drop-in replacement for LFO Tool.
I actually still use LFO Tool to "design" the side-chain curve and then just match it with Curves modulator and Tool device.
Actually this is what I do a lot: use VST first given e.g. nicer visual feedback and then replicate with stock devices. Best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned :-)

TDR Molotok is IMHO the best thing ever in software and/or hardware when you want the most hyper reactive compressor in existence with reasonably clean sound at extremes.
In my books, when ducking with kick some other channel, it beats ShaperBox3, LFOTool and similar plugins. You get both surgical and musical off-the-bad. The sound just feels right :-)
Molotok is also great alternative to give a shot when having either 1176 or dbx160 would be, or is already used. Worth of trying out.

People say me that #Kirchoff #EQ is great or even better than #FabFilter Pro-Q3 but...
Dynamic EQ is not a great tool for shaping transients as the filters are connected in series. This will result most "bending" transients as EQ points will interact and are interconnected. For shaping, band needs to be split into blocks, and this exactly what a multi-band compressor does.
This reduces the meaningful parameters to exactly one: dynamic range:
1. Define a dynamic range (in dB for an EQ point.
2. Figure out values for the parameters that keep it within that range.
So with the dynamic EQ below this would mean a manual tuning until you find some
values that seem to work, and depending on signal coming this could even mean automating those parameters, depending on how static the signal is. Also any change to the signal coming in would require re-adjusting them.
On the other hand, Pro-Q3 starts from the dynamic range as the input parameter, listens the signal and adjusts compressor parameters dynamically to stay within the range, without user intervention.
Not my cup of tea because the choice is between spending hours on it vs spending less than a minute figuring this all out 🤷

Took me two years to pay attention this setting for filters in the Poly and FX Grid devices of #Bitwig.
I've been wondering why they just don't feel or sound right but could not have pointed my finger. So I just put this it to +12 dB. and problem fixed.
With stock devices (not necessarily with some analog emulated plugins) sound does not destroy. If you add let's 20 dB gain boost and bring it down the same amount it should be perfectly recovered (assuming that signal path is "stock-only").
