Pulling up Free plugins

[Ah_Dziz]

I did find that racks and piles of hardware was impressive to clients. It wasn't impressive enough to me to keep it taking up room and electricity. I generally spend most sessions I book for tracking and mixing explaining software (free and paid) to clients. I'd be amazed if any of them or any of my other clients of any kind ever had any concerns about the cost of any software. With the singular exception that I've had jobs where the deliverables were required to be protools sessions (all fx printed) for compatibility during further production.

Now that I'm all grown up, I realize it's 100% in whether you own those types of situations, be they brown zips ... or free plugins. If you are confident in the tools you use and use them well, clients won't notice nor will they care.

Wow, matured stuff

Yes ... well maybe one day you'll acquire such maturity and confidence in your abilities that you are not posting such sophomoric questions on forums.

If the client knew anything at all about plugins, they'd be doing it themself.

It's possible man, I met people who know about production softwares and even popular plugins and know about some free stuffs but have no clue how to mix or master. It's a skill man.

My point was mostly that only people that are already recording themselves would know anything about plugins. It's really something that's on a need-to-know basis. And if your client is a fledgling recordist, then they already must think you know something they don't, or they wouldn't be coming to you in the first place.

But most people you would have in your studio don't know shit about f**k.

Many years ago, Rosie O'Donnell had a daytime talk show. Apparently she had recorded an album, and was talking about it on her show. She said "they have this machine called Pro Tools that makes you sing like Barbra Streisand!"

So yeah, that's the kind of mental wizard you'd normally be dealing with.

so are we supposed to assume that these clients have memorised the pricetags of all the available plugins?

No, but working with engineers or producers they would definitely that some stuffs are free.

stop editing replies you made over a year ago.
