Hi Guys!
I have run into a major problem with mastering/recording songs. I have been using Logic to record songs into, and then I have been exporting into Cubase and using that with the Oxford Plugins to master that songs with. To me loudness is quite important, as I realy need my track to stand up to commercial ones.
Now the problem.... When I listen to my songs on Cubase/Logic through headphones, They sound nice and crisp. However, I decided to do a test, and played the output through my car stereo. BAD IDEA!... all you could hear basically was the speakers rattling due to what i think was the bass. So i tried turning the bass down, I tried EQ'ing the track whilst plugged into rubbish speakers, and managed to get it to sound pretty clean. But then I always listen to the track through loads of different speakers, and some will always rattle/buzz.
I have no idea where to go from this point. Very unprofessionally I then gave up, and released the songs anyway, which you can hear on my soundcloud here (soundcloud dot com forwardslash isettheseaonfire forwardslash i-set-the-sea-on-fire-colours)
replace the dot and forwardslash obviously, sorry I havent done enough posts yet!
I would really appreciate if anyone could take a listen and tell me what I have done wrong!
Thankyou so much!
