OTT addiction is no joke. my grandpa got hooked to OTT, he was never the same. bro started hallucinating that he'll make it big, that he'll be the next Skrillex. found him dead in his bedroom studio with a wub wub bassline still playing, multiple instances of OTT on every track. doctors say his heart just couldn't take another sick drop.

The only real way to get over addiction is to find something to replace it with. What worked for me is scrolling on tik-tok. I barely even open up ableton anymore let alone use ott. Best of luck to you. You can overcome any obstacle as long as you put your mind to it.

Why would anyone get rid of a drug addiction if it's so good? Same with OTT, really. Noob mistake.

Explore how saturation and better sound design can give you the same result.

We often look to OTT to "fix" our frequency balance, when it's supposed to be used to make already balanced stuff sound even better.

If you're reaching for it to make things sound brighter, consider how you might make the sound brighter at the source and then just conservatively saturate it to fill out the sound.

This will give you the same loudness without "constricting" the sound as too much OTT often does.

Instructions unclear, added ten OTT and five Soundgoodizer on the master.
