Do you find any part of this mix fatiguing? i.e. any problems? https://soundcloud.com/csmart-1 thanks Chris

Hi folks. I'm interested in learning more ways to subtly enhance a vocal. Some I've come across already are: 1. copying the vocal a couple of times, and subtly pit-shifting the copies, and mixing just a tiny bit of them in under the unaffected track. 2. A very slight delay to one side and a...

Hi folks. I'm trying to clean up a snare track, recorded by a fledgling death metal band that insists they will not use triggered drum samples. Can you help?? I was not present for the recording but I am helping to mix the material. There was one mic on the snare. No matter what I do, I...

Does anybody in North America make a portable tunable bass trap? I was looking at the Vicoustic Vari Bass online, but they have no distributor in my country (Canada). Shipping, import duties, taxes etc. from Portugal would probably double the price! I like the idea of something adjustable...

Hi folks. I need to augment my set-up with a powered mono monitor, a modern equivalent of the Auratone. what are you guys using for checking mono compatibility and frequency restricted mix translation? I need something non-ported and active. Mostly I see references online to the Avantone Mix...

HI folks. I don't have a huge budget, but I'm considering running an add in a major magazine to attract business.* None of my less expensive strategies seem to be accomplishing anything. So, bearing in mind that I'm advertising mixing and mastering services, available online to anyone anywhere...

Hi folks. What are your opinions of Google AdWords? I just launched my mixing and mastering business's Website, and am going to use up some free Google advertising. I'm wondering if any of you have tried AdWords, and how many people visited your site before one of them actually sent some...

Hi folks. I really hope someone can help me diagnose this problem. Playback takes up to 5 seconds to start in Sound Forge 10, on a fast machine running win7 x64, Focusrite Saffire Pro14 interface. Stopping or pausing playback is instantaneous, but starting/resuming playback is very very slow...

Background: I'm new at mixing and mastering, and I don't have much experience with hip hop. I'm in my mid-30's, and the last time I seriously paid attention to "rap" was Public Enemy, NWA, early Ice Cube etc. the stuff that was big just before the rules on sampling changed, and that sound...

Hi folks. As a blind computer user, I often run into programs whose graphics do not have any keystrokes, labels or descriptive text associated with them. Normally, software I use to access the screen reads out such text. This is often the case with music applications with highly customized...

Hello.* First, let me explain how I usually do things, so you know what I'm talking about. As a blind user - no mouse here! - I often have only one way to get at effect parameters of many plug-ins, and that is through the Track Inspector.* For example, I might insert Wave Arts Final Plug on...

Comments/feedback welcome. I'm glad to ahve found someone who makes pannels and traps in my city!

Hi folks. I recently made the big jump from a 6-year-old single core PC running XP, to a quad-core 3.4GHZ machine with 16gb ram, solidstate system drive, 1tb audio drive, Win7 Pro 64-bit. How can I get some more speed when processing large files in Sound Forge 10? Is there a way to get SF to...

Here we go... yet another company offering SSL emulations in plug-in form. Oh wait, it's SSL themselves! So, do these sound better or worse than the Waves, UA, or other emulations? I've honestly never sat down in front of a real SSL console and played around, so I guess really, I'm wondering...
