AGF MEMBERS GEAR MASTERLIST & RECOMMENDED TUTORIAL VIDEOS

[jim1960]

For those who haven't noticed yet, two new sections have been added to our Masterlist.

First, a list of recommended plugins can be found in post #2. Please don't interpret this as meaning these are the only good plugins out there. There are many good plugins not on the list but the list is a place where you can start looking and familiarize yourself with features for plugins in a given category. Also, there are many free plugins on the list. While there are many poor quality plugins that are given away for free, the ones listed are generally regarded as quite good despite being free. Don't be afraid to try them out. Also, the prices in parenthesis are the full retail prices. The big sales usually happen during the period from Black Friday through New Year's holiday period and during June-July when summer sales run. If you wait for the sales, you can almost always find significant discounts. Some of those on the list have been discounted more than 75% during those sales, so don't let the full retail prices scare you too badly.

Second, a list of specialty plugins recommended by AGF users can be found in post #4 and continued in post #9. Included for each of these is the description from the manufacturer of the plugins function. For some of us, these plugins serve very important functions in our process and workflow.

I've added a table of contents to the top of the first post because this reference is now spread over five posts due to the per-post character limits.

I've added a new section of videos on Mastering. It can be found in Post #11. There are videos showing just the basics as well as a very in depth mastering series produced by iZotope.

I had trouble falling asleep last night so I updated all the pricing on the software and gear to reflect 2022 prices.

Yeah, I had a LOT of trouble sleeping.

If this resource has helped you in some specific way, please leave a comment describing how. Perhaps it will spawn new ideas to make the list even more useful.

Thanks for the depth of resources, and double yes thanks to everyone that contributes to this topic. I'll post questions on a separate thread.

Izotope has begun releasing videos for Series 4 of their excellent "Are You Listening" series. It looks like the focus is switching from mastering to mixing. The first three videos can be found in post #11 in the section titled "Mixing." Additional videos will be added when they are released.
