Yesssss let's go! As can be read in my testimonial on the landing page, this program is amazing. 10000% recommend at least jumping on a call with Michael to see if this is for you

@Jason Tufts Look at that, you're an enlightened one! Really happy for you to have joy as your ROI! Definitely something I learned too late and many with me.

@Berlin RedluX You know I am a huge advocate for TRE, but I'm also annoyingly honest so I love your enthusiasm as always but TRE really does not teach 100%. The program severely lacks in education around top lining. Sure, you can ask Lucy and Caleb about it in a mentor session but you'd need to know what questions to ask as there is still no front-to-back curriculum for it, which made me join other communities to get that education (unsuccessfully, as nobody can teach as good as the TRE mentors). I also truly believe not every songwriter should be a producer and definitely not full stack. Saving money is one thing but with no talent or desire to handle a computer, it makes it worth a lot more to be a creative spirit detached from technology surrounding yourself with computer nerds to finish up your pure creations after you're done writing an album in the forest without wifi (thinking about Lizzy McAlpine here for example). There truly is something to be said for outsourcing the technical part and inviting others into the creative process. After all, the business part of TRE is exactly teaching us to help people in that position. It is truly in TRE's benefit to not have every music creator become a full stack music producer. The alumni's need clients for the program to keep its value too. But more importantly, I really believe the music gets better when everyone does the part they like and nothing they despite. That said, as @Jason Tufts is already full stacking himself, I'd love to see him take it to the next level inside of TRE of course! I also like his critical questioning so that would be great company to have on the inside to keep the mentors on their toes (as if Caleb isn't skipping enough sleep for us yet lol) Also, for future readers: The moment TRE adds a songwriting module you should sign up immediately as I know Caleb is gonna crush it on that one! It just hasn't arrived yet as of today and I don't want to give false hope to people.

It is bypassed because it would mess with the sound of the screen recording. In a real world scenario they would have it engaged but when demonstrating techniques it is more important that you, the viewers, get a neutral sound than that they get a calibrated sound. Otherwise you'd walk away from their lessons like "dude their mixes sound like shit" just because sonarworks is messing with the EQ curve. Hope that makes sense?

I sometimes produce on my Sony XM3s with Sonarworks calibration but never do a final mix on it.
