Thinking Out Loud w/Friends

This week on Thinking Out Loud with Friends meeting was an informal discussion among audio professionals covering a wide range of topics. Jan, Fred, Chris, Wayne, Ken, and others talked about their current setups, including Mac vs PC, camera and lighting issues, and various audio interfaces and plugins like Waves, Cedar, and D-Feedback. They discussed the pros and cons of different audio consoles, with Ken Porter sharing his experience with DiGiCo, SSL, Yamaha, and other brands, and mentioning the demand for certain models. The group also shared personal updates, travel plans, and stories about industry figures like Dolly Parton, Larry Italia, and Tim Curry. They touched on recent news events, including natural disasters and an airport accident. The conversation was casual, with frequent digressions into personal anecdotes and technical details.

The group discussed various audio processing solutions, with Ken mentioning a new Cedar plugin called Voxis for AI voice suppression at $269, which he found effective. Wayne considered purchasing a Mac Mini for Waves Control and discussed running it with SuperRack Performer in USB configurations alongside an analog setup. The discussion included concerns about signal chain complexity, with Ken admitting his setup had become overly complicated and emphasizing the importance of testing bypass functionality when adding new plugins. Jan asked about potential issues with overcomplicating signal chains, to which Wayne responded that corporate work often requires multiple outputs with minimal plugins on each insert, typically just compressors like SSL waves.
