I paid to get this mastered..
Am I going mad? Is this a poor master or was the mix poor and have I made the unfortunate error of trying to get the masterer to fix the mix?

I've finally got round to adding a beat to this tune. I took some of what Pinky said on board and ended up with an odd start beat followed by some standard stuff. Any opinions?

Hi,
I understand that a balanced (TRS) and unbalanced 1/4" jack should be plugged into a +4dBu and -10dbV input/output and that the difference is professional/unprofessional equipment respectively. However what about a Stereo mini-jack(3.5mm)?
I've had my stuff hooked up for a while now and...
I've heard various rave reviews of some great album mixes from Abbey Road and the Beatles, Steely Dan, Maroon 5 etc..etc.. however do the professionals ever get it very wrong?
You won't like this if you're into heavy stuff.

Hi, I'm trying to get started using DFH and I'm a bit confused with how to use the ambient room samples with the closely miked sound together to "create a wide variety of general drumsounds."
Do I create two MIDI tracks and play them at the same time, mix them down into a wav file and apply...

I recorded some vocals on a Rode NT3 and I've added reverb to give it some depth however I'm finding that I have to put what I consider too much reverb on these vocals to stop it sounding too dry. Is there something I might have got wrong in the recording (I used no compression or eq) or some...
Does anyone know how I can embed album info/album art(band link etc..) onto the demo CDs I burn so that they pop up in Windows Media Player and other players?(actually I can't even get the track names to stop appearing as Track01-07 at the moment)
I know someone has been asked before but I...
Hi,
I just thought I'd done my first perfect mix. I listened on my car stereo, iPOD, HiFi and the bass sounded perfect. The bass is the most important part of this song and but on my monitors(cheap Roland DM-20s) they're too loud and on my mini-MP3 player(and walkman) the bass is lost in the...
In cubase there's an option to use auto for the compression release value that alters it in real time based on what you're compressing at that moment. Is this a good feature or is a static release value better? I've not really noticed much difference myself (I've only compressed vocals with...
As I'm reading around all the old post so I don't ask what the difference between "Mixing and Mastering" I've noticed the occasional reference to phasing, e.g "the guitar mic got knocked and was 160 degrees out of phase for the rest of the track." Now I know this has to do with the way waves...
Hi,
I've got a song mixed using my sound card (Yamaha SW1000XG) and I'm quite happy with it but I was wondering. If I wanted a professional recording studio to make the mix "perfect" how would I go about it? I mean, for a band you lug your equipment over and play but in this case I've got a...
