    Typical bedroom hobbyist mix

    I think its because of the drums, they sound like generic. Mix is slightly boring mono like a Terry Date mix.

    Mix it - Burning Witches (metal/crossover) - Mix it

    Just by listening to your track it sounds like a thrown together song rather than a produced composition. But a lot of these song lack production now these days. And even ones that get produced are not that great. Because they sound like a Terry Date flat mix. Which quite frankly, I think he...

    Typical bedroom hobbyist mix

    It sounds like to me the ME is saying the production of the song is like everyone else's production of the same style. Which is really the difference between a hit or the same boring stuff in a genre of music.

    Latency/Drift $50 reward for fix

    This interface is not a digital mixer type interface. so it should have some latency. That is why it has an analog direct/mix knob because its not designed for daw monitoring. On these programs if you set the latency too low it will adjust them. So if it should have 130ms of latency and you...

    Latency/Drift $50 reward for fix

    windows sound system is overriding it. But check the system log to see if there is a hardware fault involved. I stop using windows 7 when they started screwing with the OS with updates. I switched to Windows Server for my DAWs. The advantage of that is the windows audio modules are not installed...

    Audition was written by the same people that made Cakewalk and Nuendo and Nuendo was sold to Steinburg.

    Phasing when recording DI & miked simultaneously

    Don't they need to use the ones they have first (ears)?

    Mackie Mixer Aux Send Distortion

    You use this circuit. However, the 2.2K resistors need to match exactly by an ohm meter.

    Phasing when recording DI & miked simultaneously

    I use DI only as a way to reamp when they bring in crappy amps to record and not use the ones I spent time cleaning up. Micing their stack has never been an issue, but there are quite a few guitar cab setups that sound boring when you go record them. Also, sometimes the guitar player's eq...

    "Takes EQ well"...hmmm?

    I've been finding this mic company has been cranking out decent mics and engineers passing up using the standards (u47,U87, 251, and c414) and using them. I've been deciding off and on getting their Pure Tube mic and seeing if I can apply some mods to make it sound like the c12 I've modded for...

    "Takes EQ well"...hmmm?

    I leave eq decisions after tracking, but what I consider a great mic for something is when I don't have to apply much EQ to it.

    "Takes EQ well"...hmmm?

    Marshall is a bad example as they used to make a somewhat decent amp that over the years their application of technology slowly caused complexity in their designs that have degraded them over time. How ever, a good example from guitar world is the Celestion speaker a lot of people think is good...

    Got some great takes, but the levels are too low. Best way to fix?

    only time I observed any digital signal anomaly in audio was -40 dbfs tracking experiment at 44.1 and 48 khz when boosting it I got clock bleed in the audio at -60 when the -40 dbfs signal was cranked to -10 dbfs. This is the only time I seen it but it might be worse in some systems depending on...

    Got some great takes, but the levels are too low. Best way to fix?

    A simple way would be adding a bus for the track and route the channel to that bus and use the channel slider for gain/signal level to the new bus and set up the plugins for that channel on the bus strip. In reality it doesn't really matter what level the tracks are its how you work with them...
