Mastered Version Unmastered mix For baseline reference this track is slightly musically inspired by The Jimi Hendrix Experience; Production-wise inspired by 1980s-2010s Indie (More specifically, the early Smiths albums or Mac DeMarco’s second album to put things in a more modern context)

Thanks so much. Appreciate it

I know what you mean. I figured compression might be a possible solution as the harsh quality peaks through most notably on the upstrokes. Maybe it just needs some taming. As for the stereo field, I had actually moved the guitar a bit closer to the center than it was before. It seemed like the...

Thank you, I appreciate it a lot! I haven't tried much outside of some EQ

(Reposting because I posted late last night with no engagement) I'm at my wit's end and just can't figure this stuff out. For the track itself, I was going for a late Beatles sound, like "Something, the 2019 remaster, or Across The Universe from the Let It Be NAKED album. Haven't had much...

I'm at my wit's end and just can't figure this stuff out. For the track itself, I was going for a late Beatles sound, like "Something, the 2019 remaster, or Across The Universe from the Let It Be NAKED album. Haven't had much problem with the rhythm section. I'm very new to compression and...

So, I've been having trouble getting a good bongo sound... Mostly, some pretty heavy plosives due to air coming off of the drum surface. I've been using an Audio-Technica AT2021, angled down at about 45 degrees. I've been messing with mic distances and such, but even moving the mic up a foot or...

Well, I know it compresses the whole signal, but I'm mostly wondering how to smooth out the rasp with a compressor if that's possible? Or if there's any other way to do it

I have a song, basically done, with a very intimate vocal performance. Really happy with the delivery and consistency of the final take I’m using, but being what it is, there’s a little too much rasp at certain parts and I can’t stand it. I know absolutely nothing about compressors, but I’ve...

I always use a mesh pop filter. The C414 has different cardioid, wide cardioid and hypercardioid patterns, from which I’ve only been using the regular cardioid. It also has a preattentuation pad from which I’ve tried all sorts at 0, -6, -12 and -18. I don’t remember what mics I used in the...

My reasoning was I’ve never had this problem before with other mics. Even delivering the same song, the same way, it’s been far more straight forward. Also it’s a big problem because it seems like the raspiness is much louder than any other part of the voice. The vocals put in the mix can be a...

Hopefully this is the right section... I’m just gonna lay down my situation here... So I just picked up the AKG C414 XLII for recording some vocals at home. I run directly into a Scarlett 18i20 interface. Pretty unexperienced with most technical stuff. I pretty much exclusively go...
