In this special Roundtable episode of Producer Points, host Justin Gammella is joined by three of his closest friends in the industry—DJ Kyriakides (Daylight), Scott Robinson, and David Arkwright—to tackle the age-old question: Is your favorite plugin actually holding your mix back? From overused presets to modern AI tools, this episode dives deep into the habits, crutches, and comfort zones that might be sabotaging your productions.

🎧 Topics include:
• Why your favorite plugin might be killing your creativity
• The rise of "intelligent" plugins like Soothe 2 and Gullfoss—help or hindrance?
• The loudness trap: chasing punch at the cost of emotion
• Presets vs. originality
• The placebo effect of plugins
• Our go-to plugin chains—and the ones we should probably ditch

🔥 Plus, a heated debate on BB Tubes, OTT, God Particle, CLA Vocals, and more.

This is Part 1 of a two-part episode. Stay tuned for the continuation in Part 2 next week!
