Samuel O'Sullivan
01/25/12 10:00 AM,
This article is provided by the Pro Audio Files. This article is about a shift in perspective mostly. It’s about really embracing the tools you already have and using them to their fullest potential.

It contains FX sends and returns, allowing me to utilize any number of effects units (not to mention plug ins), which can be brought back in to the…
