For the case of needing something audible more from reverb than from the dry signal I mixed some stuff with pre-fader option and it was a nightmare. You essentially had to do a whole new mix for that reverb return. Any mix change had to be done twice.

So I returned back to post-fader method. I gain the reverb signal by 5 or 10 dB, so I can drown stuff in it if needed. Also when having loooooooooong pads, I tend to use an insert reverb and not use return. That way tales are audible right away after I freeze the channel.

I've tried it. The idea is great. Dropbox for DAWs in a way. ...but it essentially tries to read files while you work on them. System doesn't like it sometimes, so uploads fail time to time.

I support this idea. It might have a set of sub-sub forums by type of the colaboration:

- Classic collabs
- Vocal collabs
- "Somebody finish this"
- Remixes
- Mixing/Mastering

...aaand that's why I love Wave Alchemy.

Definitely ^ this!

...point is, that tweaking any glitching effect will take you actually more time than chopping the vocal and building the melody manually. And if you do it manually, you have also much more control over the actual result.

So essentially that's a Vengeance story all over again...
I get the importance, but it's getting kind of tiresome.

Yeah. Don't glorify mastering. It's a finishing touch. Final polish. Essentially your mix should be enjoyable and cool sounding before mastering.

...that also means don't overdo it when mastering yourself. EQ, bit of stereo widening if needed, limiter. Done. (Just my opinion though.)
