We will never use any material or original concepts without prior written consent of the author(s). The actual version of the song and the audio files have been copy-protected to avoid any future conflicts.
We hope you appreciate our “different” idea. And that your partner who gets the song, gives you a big kiss in return 
Imagine if 5 billion lovers shared “I ❤ U” on February 14…
About Rick Paris
The song was composed, performed and produced by Eric (alias Rick Paris) who is the President and CEO at DontCrack and Plug & Mix (yes, we all do music at DontCrack / P&M).
It’s a simple easy listening POP song with a strong 70s influence. The recording started in the office at DontCrack on a basic M-Box with Pro Tools (Acoustic Guitars + Voice).
Eric then moved the project to the basement studio where he recorded live drums, bass, vocals, electric guitars, keyboards, etc. He then mixed the song using ONLY Plug & Mix plug-ins which enabled him to get that “70s” mood very easily…
[The Plug & Mix V.I.P. Bundle is actually sold at the promoted price of ONLY $179 !]
Have FUN !

The Waves Scheps 73 is a colorful 3-band EQ modeled on the classic 1073 console EQ and mic preamp module and developed in association with world-renowned mixing engineer Andrew Scheps (Adele, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Sabbath, Lana Del Ray, Metallica, Jay-Z.)
Empowered by Waves cutting-edge technologies, the Scheps 73 EQ features interrelated bands that adhere to the 1073 original specs and precisely emulate its behavior: a fixed 12kHz high-frequency band, switchable low and midrange bands with cut and boost controls, and an 18dB/octave high-pass filter.
Additionally, for the first time ever, a little-known 10kHz midrange band discovered in the original 1073 schematics but operable only on the rare 1078 channel strip has been modeled and incorporated into the plugin.
And to top it all off, the Waves MS matrix has been added to let you apply different equalization to mid and side stereo content. Using innovative procedures to model the acclaimed Marinair transformer, Waves has meticulously captured all the sonic characteristics of the 1073, including its harmonic distortion. These overtones were tweaked to perfection by Andrew Scheps himself, resulting in beautiful and authentic saturations.

PSP X-Dither is a mastering dither and noise shaping processor (VST, RTAS and AAX for Windows; AudioUnit, VST, RTAS and AAX for Mac OSX). It is designed to cover wide range of situations when dithering or noise shaping is the way to maintain the quality of an original mix, group or individual track during various stages of the recording and mastering process, including final digital mastering.
Here is what Bob Katz, the author of the Mastering Audio – The Art And The Science says about PSP’s new X-Dither:
“I didn’t think anyone could achieve what PSP has achieved with PSP X-Dither: They’ve created a selection of noise-shapes which allow me to create a 16-bit result that sounds almost identical to the 24-bit source. With other dithering algorithms I often have to compromise, making a sound which distorts the tonality of the original source, or weakens the depth, or softens the transients. But with PSP X-dither I can easily find the perfect shape for the music I’m working with.”
