Can a Pro Engineer Mix a Song with Only 5 Random Plugins? Plugin Roulette ft. Noah “MIXGIANT” Glassm

Aug 26, 2026 | 10 Views

Could you complete a mix in under 30 minutes using only five randomly selected plugins?

Welcome to Plugin Roulette, a new mixing challenge where top engineers have just 30 minutes to mix a track using only five plugins chosen completely at random. Once the wheel stops spinning, there's no changing the lineup.

The rules are simple:

5 randomly selected Waves plugins
30 minutes
1 mix

Can Noah "MIXGIANT" Glassman turn five random plugins into a great mix before time runs out?

In this first episode, Noah mixes "Encore" by Lolo Zouaï.

Watch to hear the final result.
