Hi Prom, hi Davetbass,
Thank you for the kind welcome! I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner.
I was initially a bit wary of doing this, I'm trying to get better at taking criticism. That being said, my friends that I show mixes too are all really complimentary. I self deprecate that much that I think well they would be kind, they're mates! It's really refreshing to reinforce the compliments with people I haven't met before
I can't thank you enough for your time and feedback.
Yeah, it was the Ignite pack that I used with STLs NadIR impulse response.
I'd be happy to share channel strips using SWS Snapshots if any wants. I mostly use free plugins on top of the amp sims, whether that's stock plugins or Melda Productions compressors, EQs and gates, and I also use freeware synths too. I'm really happy with the usability of them, and as I touched on previously, I'm absolutely blown away with Reaper in every way. £60 was a bargain! I feel like I've stolen from them a bit, haha.
Anyway, thanks again. Wish you all the best and hope to speak to again soon. Hope you both have a great weekend!
Al
