Plug-ins are in use almost every day in any music production. What's your go-to plug-in? What's the oddest use you've put a plug-in into effect? E-mail the staff at mixeditorial@mixonline.com.
At the heart of Mix celebrating our 30th anniversary is this "30 People Who Shaped Sound," which showcases some of the most creative and influential people who have shaped recording during our 30-year history. We agonized for months about this list, tossing hundreds of names back and forth until we finally settled on the august group of producers, engineers and musicians you'll find here. No doubt there will be many disagreements about whom we've included and excluded. Feel free to register your opinions and offer your own choices by e-mailing us at mixeditorial@mixonline.com.
