If you are a composer, musician or sound engineer, Panagement is amazing for sound positioning. The binaural delay is amazing, the reverb is immersive and everyone needs chipmods now and then. Everything is automatable.
This is a small company, no registration codes, just fully working plugins once you buy the full version which is currently on sale. The free version has everything but the delay and the chipmod and there are audio demos on the site as well. Check it out at auburnsounds.com/products/Pana…

🇵🇱🤔🇺🇦 Ukrainians have a "short memory", because during the first months of the invasion, Poland transferred equipment and humanitarian aid, and Zelensky is trying to "draw other countries into direct participation in the conflict" against Russia, - Polish MoD
❗️He added that Zelensky's words "sounded a note that Poland is not doing everything it can. Poland has done and continues to do everything possible. But there is a line that I will never cross, it is a question of Poland's security."

HER salary is 13% less than HIS.
On #EqualPayDay, we symbolically mark the date when women stop earning compared to men. For every €1 a man earns, a woman earns only €0.87.
So, from today until 31 December, it is as if women in the EU effectively work for free.
Our message is clear: Equal work deserves equal pay.
We are committed to tackling pay inequality with legislation on:
🔹 pay transparency
🔹 gender balance on boards
🔹 minimum wages
🔹 work-life balance

On the 2024 European Equal Pay Day, we reaffirm our commitment to build a Europe where women and girls can thrive and where their contributions to the labour market are fully valued.European Commission - European Commission
