The DAW Essentials Collection from tracktion is a bundle of 16 plug-ins designed for mixing and mastering audio signals in a digital audio workstation. It supports AAX, Audio Units, VST, and Linux VST plug-in formats, and is compatible with Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux systems.

The collection includes dynamics processors, such as the Compressor, Limiter, and Bus Compressor, designed to control levels and glue a mix together. An 8-band EQ plug-in provides flexible control over frequency content. Manage noise and competing instruments using the Gate/Expander and Ducker plug-ins. Reverb and several delay plug-ins are featured for time-based processing. There are also special effects plug-ins for lo-fi and modulation effects.

Q: 1. Will a Large ICU work in this bag?

A: The f-stop Loka UL Backpack (Black/Blue, 37L) is compatible and recommended to be used with the Micro Tiny, the Shallow Small, the Shallow Medium, and the Slope Medium ICUs. The Pro Large ICU is also compatible and will fit the Loka 37L pack; however, it is not recommended.

Q: 2. Does this Alesis concert have full size keys and if not what is the difference? Looking for an adult male.

A: Yes, the Alesis Concert 88-Key Digital Piano has 88 full-sized keys.

Q: 3. Can I get a black wooden stand for the Alesis Concert keyboard?

A: Unfortunately Alesis does not make a wooden stand for the Concert. We do offer digital pianos that do have wooden stands, but the are quite a bit more expensive than the Concert. They do, however, offer many features besides the stand that are important to a piano player, like weighted keys and better response. This is an example: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1197900-REG/casio_px160csu_px_160_privia_88_key_digital.html
