Your weekend Mix Protégé recap
by Dana Nielsen

Happy New Year, Reader! The past two weeks have been a blur and I’m excited to be back into the swing of things with a fresh Friday Fader for ya!

🤯 It’s like you’re IN THE STUDIO w/ me!

Take a 360º immersive trip into the studio with me and literally “look around” while singer-songwriter, ZELDA, performs one of her new songs I’m producing. Featuring Rick Boston on bass, Charlie Paxson on drums, and fellow Mix Protégé, Michael Leto, engineering! This was my first time using a 360 camera and I’m pumped for all the new immersive ways I’ll be able to invite you into the studio with me…

🤑 Free Plug-in from RHODES

Thanks, Stuart Roholt, for the always excellent FREE plug-in tip!! I’ve already downloaded and started using V-Pan myself. This offer from Rhodes is good through the end of January, so snap it up before it’s gone! Download links, articles and more info in Stuart’s generous forum post. 🙌⚡️

👋 Say hi to our new members!

I’m not gonna lie … I get positively giddy when new folks find our fun little corner of the internet here at Mix Protégé and decide for themselves: “these are my peeps; I want IN!”

We’re all thrilled you’re here and hope you’ll make yourselves at home, Bryan Cook, Daniel Smidak, Pete Widin, Adrien Jones, William Tabanou, John Mark Nelson, Whesli Gamble, and James Henderson!! If you haven’t done so already, be sure to complete your user profile so we can get to know ya better!

Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!

Faders forever,
