About Paul Third

My name is Paul Third and I am a Scottish mix engineer / audio geek with an honours degree in audio production.

I mostly cover audio engineering related content ranging from audio plugin shootouts / plugin comparisons to actual analog vs digital / gear vs plugins plugin tests via access analog and mix analog. I even include ddmf plugindoctor tutorials in my plugin reviews so you can be your very own plugin tester and experiment and understand whats actually going on under the hood. I also discuss digital music distribution from time to time and like to give my viewpoint on online music distributors such as onerpm and distrokid.

All of my audio blind tests involving music production software are conducted in presonus studio one which is my main daw and I also use HOFA blind test 4U as my blind test software. In terms of my audio interface I record and monitor through an universal audio apollo x6 and a topping dx7 pro+ dac/amp and use an SE dynacaster for all of my voice overs.
