You're not LISTENING, man.. I'm not putting no V in the god damned master EQ. Jeeezus CHRIST Almighty. Fuck this forum.

No, you know what, man? I didn't start shit in here. I came up with a quick fix for EQ peaks in home indie recording and you guys act like this is a proME only forum. Your egos are what's rattling the woofers. Fuck this forum. For those of you who aren't simply interested in arguing or...

Nooo...I'm going for an average. I don't change my EQ much. And I don't sound like a Pink Floyd album because I'm not Pink Floyd. I can get my levels up to theirs and not have to change the EQ much if at all. That's what I'm saying. You're not listening. Whyn't you :roll: up another joint?

Alright...proof is in pud...someone want to hear a mixdown example and compare it to a another beefed up and boosted track? It'll just be two 44/128 mp3 examples and a simple 100% norm mixdown. No mastering. I'll run them through the Winamp disk-writer plugin so you get exactly what I get. If...

Okay. So......if I wasn't talking to you..........why...in the fuck...did you reply to my post? It obviously wasn't intended for you.

WHaT? To ME...it sounds like crap. It sounds OKAYYY...but I like to use EQ and bass boost. SO DO MOST OTHER PEOPLE. (That's why they call it "FLAT". I don't like flat music. I like it how I like it. So does everyone else. That's what EQs and boosts are for.) Heh....yoooooooou are the...

NO. We don't. Do you like 2Pac Shakur? Tricky? How bout Bauhaus or Ministry? Aphex Twin? Check out the bass levels on some of their "standard" "flat" mixeddown/glass-mastered and commercially pressed CDs. They're nothing even remotely comparable to most metal bands. They're FAT. But they don't...

Dude, that's exactly what I'm saying. There's no way of knowing what it'll sound like in that car. But a few basic audio devices like...a ghetto blaster....flat-ref monitors....headphones...home stereo...basic car setup...will do the trick. Speaking in average terms. And the trick....is...

Some people....not the majority. Not myself. Hey, man Black Sabbath's first album is on my playlist and I'll probably have it buried with me. I'm an ollldschool metalhead. (Not these days...into trip hop and ambient music. Indie punk & industrial. Still like Pink Floyd but not too much of what's...

Kind of. We're doing this for other people. If you're not making music for other people.....then .....you ain't no fuckin musician. I don't think it's necessary to mix for the system with the most bass. A 12b boost @ 50Hz in a car ...god, I'd like to see that. KaBOOM! Better be a tank. It...

I KNEW you were. Zillions of us are. Music IS esoteric and the bottom line is getting it to compete with whatever you have on the box. And I like Enya. Very much. Have some verrry cool toys for making ambient sounds. And what you said about rap is exactly my point. You don't HAVE to mix it...

Again...we're talking opinions. Everything ..and I do mean everything...is a relative concept based on some other preconception. Some people simply have the same point A to start from. You ask someone from a bricks up thug rap label, an indie punk chopshop and a dweedle dee from some megalith...

I do. And so do others. And if they don't there's that treble knob and the bass knob. "Oh, what's this do? Mega Bass? Must be a BASS Button I better PUSH it! Want my shit to PUMP!" Man... you're making music for people to listen to on cheap ghettoblasters and car stereos (many of which contain...

Every pro CD I've heard sounds tinny and FLAT without EQ and bass boost. NOT "nice", "careful" and "balanced". It sounds like shit. You essentially "slap an EQ on the mains" when you master the thing anyway. And then you add gloss, be it a maximizer or whatever you might prefer and then "hard...

Best to use EQ before you lay on effects and compression. You don't use compression on everything either. You need to understand to the best of your ability what the hell it is, how it works & when to use it. (Use it tastefully and only on tracks needed during mixdown and if mastering at home...
