Speaker A: Coming up. Coming up next, the pro audio Suite sneak peek. In nearly every single masterclass I do with my waves hat on, I spend as much time telling people that I want you to use as few plugins as possible to make sure that you're just not overdoing things. And one of the biggest problems is that people throw plugins on with way too much ease and breeze without actually thinking about it sometimes. And that also degrades. So you have to really decide, is this plugin going to fix something, or am I just putting it on? Because I've heard that it helps. Now, who am the Pro audio suite? Thanks to Tripoos and Austrian audio. Listen now on your favourite podcast provider.
