Been using ezmix for about 2 years. For someone that just wants to write a song and throw it on youtube with out studying mixing and mastering for fucking years this is a god send. Now if they only had a plugin to help me play better lol.

Long-time channel watcher, occasional commenter. This program is awesome. I bet people think it can't be good because it is so simple. Wrong. The presets are useful, adjustable, and at your finger tips. I often A/B it against other dedicated plug-ins - never surprised it works frequently. And the guitar and bass sims are very good too.

Yes sir. I don't know why, but people often get offended when a plugin makes something easy to do. Doing less work and spending less money to achieve the sound you want is smart.

I've done the same. Sometimes I like my plugin settings better but other times their settings are excellent and are a quick way to get the sound you want to hear. The hidden benefit is also to use these as reference settings. You can actually learn by using ez mix as the reference and then dialing in what you want instead from other plugins. As you can't see how they set the gear to achieve their settings, you learn how your own plugins or gear works to get that sound. This gives a bit more confidence if the room you mix in is crap. As most of us are at home with minimal to no acoustic treatment, this can be a huge advantage to the hobbiest or even pro who needs to get something together quick.

Does this have options in the drums for working with a whole kit rather than individual drums? When we're demoing, my band are using programmed midi drums, and obviously the whole kit is on one channel there - I'd like to be able to bring the kick out a bit more without messing about in Slate or EzDrummer or whatever. I have thought about splitting at least the kick and snare out from the rest of the midi and having those on their own tracks so that I can work on those more granularly, but ultimately because I'm only using it for demoing and someone else will take care of the final mixes, I don't care enough to spend loads of time messing with it - I just want the best demos we can get with the least effort possible.

It is a neat idea. But i like the idea of just having the best sounding VSTi's that do the work for you then minimal mixing and mastering is needed. I just throw some Waves plugins on my master and it's good. SSL master bus compressor is amazing, i am sure you know that tho. I just started following your page recently after finding your videos about streaming DAW. I have still not tried ASIO link pro. but i am sure it will still give me the same issue... I can play my guitar along with my projects fine while live streaming, But when i route my audio out of my DAW into windows then into OBS well my monitoring of my guitar coming out of reaper must be off a hair, I cannot record my guitar with proper synch while live streaming, it is always off a hair and just doesn't' work... I am currently running the FL ASIO, my SSL2 interface goes input and output goes to sound card audio.. then in OBS you can pick up Application Output Audio capture with that new OBS plugin called Win-capture-audio... it works great for making songs live all my vsti synch up but the guitar i just cannot record while live streaming... It does synch up for playing along to the audio but I believe that is because eveyrthing is off by a hair going out thru the windows audio... cuz when i record my guitar it's off by a few ms. anyway... quick question sorry for all the text here.. .but If I get that setup with a 2nd interface looping back into the pc will that fix this? because then DAw monitoring will be coming out the back of my SSL2 interface right... so then strereo cables back into a Nice mixer USB then pick up the mixer in OBS as an input..? then i can just use my headphones from my interface for precise guitar monitoring and recording while live streaming... sorry... you're my only hope obi wan...

You can probably find a preset that includes all of that in a single preset, but if not, treat it the same way you would individual plugins. Stack 'em up on the inserts, unless your trying to effect several tracks at once, then a bus.

That's the point. Limited control. If you don't like the sound of one preset, instead of adjust a bunch of parameters, just choose another preset where those changes have already been done for you. If there were tons of controls they would have to change the name to DifficultMix 2, and I doubt that would be appealing to folks 🤣
