In other words, we need to only worry about mixing. Let’s also say there’s an ace mastering engineer on the island who will work for peanuts (or in this case, maybe, coconuts). All the tracks you get are fully realized in that regard. Let’s say that this is a magic island, and there’s no need for performance-time plug-ins like amp/cabinet devices or a rotary speaker simulator. The challenge was to choose one each in the following categories: We asked four of our writers just that question. You know what we’re talking about here, right? Imagine that you were to be stranded on a desert island and could only take one which one would you choose? Well, what if you had to configure a DAW with desert-island plug-ins? What EQ would you choose? What compressor?
The Desert Island metaphor is something that reviewers of any stripe find hard to resist.
