While Drumtracker itself was announced quite some time ago, Toontrack has now announced the release, which interestingly enough doesn’t mean it’s released yet, you’ll have to wait until late December for that. Until then you can check out this video.

I like to change the way I mix every now and then. For instance, a year back or so I mixed very “detailed”, now I almost don’t mix at all. At times I pretty much haven’t used compression at all, other times I’ve used it in ways that some might think is too much. Today I opened up an old session and realized how different it was set up. One thing that caught my eye was the “compsat bus”. I don’t use it anymore but thought it was a pretty cool idea so I’ll share it with you.
