If you've ever thought a new plug-in would transform your song from a demo to a professional mix, you might be suffering from the Diderot effect.
The Diderot Effect, named after the French philosopher Denis Diderot argues that once you get something shiny and new, it will create a downward spiral of wanting more shiny new things.
Regardless of whether these things offer any added value or improvement to your life...
And this endless cycle never ends.
So...
If you're constantly buying new plug-ins to throw at your mix without solving the root cause of why your previous plug-ins didn't work, you might be stuck in this endless cycle.
If you hope that they will magically fix your mix, you're looking for the wrong solution.
In fact, it's not the plug-ins that make the mix, it's the skills you acquire when you use the tools you already have at your disposal.
And you already have the tools you need for a professional mix:
- EQ
- Compression
- Reverb
- Delay
- Saturation
That's why students who read Step By Step Mixing report instant improvements in their mixes.
They finally learn to use the plug-ins that they already have, instead of Dideroting around buying more plug-ins that'll only clutter up their plug-in folder and increase the time it takes to get a finished mix.
If you're tired of Dideroting around and want to create pro mixes, Step By Step Mixing is what you need.
It's cured thousands of musicians and producers from needlessly wasting their money.
Instead, they've learned the step by step mixing method that's helped them use the tools already at their disposal.
Like Jordan, who just yesterday said, "Bought this a few weeks ago and have read it multiple times and I LOVE this as a reference guide!"
