    Why can’t I replicate the sound of commercial recordings?

    Ok. Gotcha. I understand. lol - Those mono price monitors will get the job done. I bought a pair of 5's and a pair of 8's to review them when they went on sale four years ago. I did a couple test mixes on them then ended up giving them to friends, but I used them enough to confirm that they're...

    Mixing Question: Problems getting healthy dynamics range, re: vocals

    Here it is. I can't figure out how to embed it on this forum. Hey Tesgin, was totally thinking Audio Adrenaline on this one!! lol. Good ole' nostalgic CCM. Some of the guitar parts were unsalvageable so I dumped them. The whole track is mixed with 3 plugins. Classic compressors, and Scheps...

    Is anyone highly familiar with equalizers? I have a few questions on how one works

    Thought I'd reach out and see if there happens to be any lurkers here who have an in-depth knowledge of EQ's. I've reached out on several other forums and gotten zero help. ...I've been eyeballing some hardware units to try and get a super immaculate sounding hardware unit that can be used in...

    How do you cheat?

    Thanks man. We did ok here ;) Here's another 'cheater' tool from Waves. Its their 'automixer'. Literally mixes an entire session for you. Its expensive, but its ridiculously fast and efficient. It has a several second 'lookahead' and adjusts itself according to a priority hierarchy you define...

    Studio One vs Other DAWs...initial thoughts from my first few days

    So first impressions on studio one remain pretty good. After the first several days of playing with it in little bits of free time I'm still finding it to be stable, organized, and easy to use. Some quick notes: The layout is very logic like, but the folder and file system with searchable...

    Re: Johnny Amato - My thoughts on Slate Plugins

    Re: Johnny Amato - My thoughts on Slate Plugins I stated this before and I'll say it again. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Steven Slate and what he's doing to make quality music recording tools available to everybody. I will never join in with the other haters and say that nothing he...

    Eq

    I used them pretty heavily when they first came out. I have nothing but respect for Steven and what he's doing with his company. And I think he's a tremendously gifted mix engineer and a great visionary. I'll tell you why I don't use them anymore, but this by no means implies that you...

    Eq

    Hi Andrushkwit, This is really a question about GUI. Here's my take on it... The EQ's below are some of my favorite fixed knob EQ's. I don't like them BECAUSE they have fixed knobs. I like them because they've modeled hardware that has unique tonal characteristics embedded in the circuitry of...

    Pro User Question - What are you using besides Waves for advanced 'level-mixing'?

    Thanks man...I appreciate it. I know Nuendo is quite capable of handling these types of projects but that Waves plugin is SO convenient that it's spoiling us rotton over her at the studio! Lol. I mean if I just have to keep using it, I'm not going to complain. I'm more or less curious how anyone...

    Hey @Nola ....some ideas

    Old Jazz records often had compression going on in the signal chain even if it was a stereo pair of analog limiters on the 2 bus. Also, keep in mind the tape reels were imparting a quasi-compression effect as well, though the line between tape saturation and compression starts to get blurred...

    More mixing tips from Waves

    So here's what up with the Update vs the Waves Up. The update is a dollar-for-dollar discount towards the total price of the bundle which certain plugins are included in. The Abbey Road plugins don't sell as a bundle. You pay for the bundle and get 10 individual licenses as per Waves agreement...

    Pro User Question - What are you using besides Waves for advanced 'level-mixing'?

    If you are not using the Waves DTS or M series plugins for fold-down and matrix management what are other options are out there? And is there a non-Waves alternative to the B360 encoder? Waves and Izotope currently do not have a plugin that can scan an entire 5.1+ file and calculate the LUFS...

    Pro question - about cue system for recording voice

    Apparently based on Steens comments there are some folks here who have worked on post-production facilities for film and gaming companies. I'm looking into integrate the EdiCue package into the Pro Tools HD rig for Foley and ADR. Does anyone who has worked on films and video games have...

    Mixerman raising funds for his new book. I gladly contributed. Anyone else?

    Just thought I’d mention this to you guys incase anyone would be interested and didn’t see the email because you’re not on his mailing list. For those of you who don’t know, this guy has made substantial contributions to online communities of recording engineers often at no expense. Many of you...

    Re: Miroslav - on the roll of the mixing engineer in the corporate ladder

    Re: Miroslav - on the roll of the mixing engineer in the corporate ladder ...Continued from the "transient designer" thread Since you asked in the previous thread to know a little more about how these companies are usually structured, its not necessary the execs that you (the mix engineer) are...

    Manley Voxbox? Anyone?

    Does anyone own a Voxbox? General thoughts? I don't know if I'm completely sold. I've been messing with a loaner for a couple weeks. Gorgeous on some sources, sucks ass on others. Agree/disagree? And what version do you guys have? The extended gain/headroom one or the older one? I hear that...

    Does anyone use the UAD plugins?

    Out of the re-issue UAD plugins such as the 1176's, Neve's and LA2A's, who uses the non-legacy versions? Do you find them worth the money? In hindsight, which ones are you glad you bought, and which ones did you wish you hadn't paid extra for?

    Signal flow/mixing question

    Guys with large format pro mixers...do you use your aux sends (as in the horizontal row of knobs on the physical desk) for anything other than monitoring? Or do you pretty much let your DAW handle the time, mod, and verb based effects? If so, what do you have patched to through the aux loops? I...

    Alrighty...who has a Neumann U87?

    We're talking run of the mill stock 87. Not telefunken, not vintage. Of all the other high end mics I have, I actually don't own one at the moment. Was thinking about picking a up a pair. What do I need them for? I probably don't actually 'need' them at all. What do I intend on using them for...
