    ducking vs unmasking

    Does anyone ever use both together for a vocal track to come through over instruments & pads? Is ducking on a vocal track more for spoken audio? Any thoughts are appreciated.

    normalize vox?

    Hi I stopped normalizing my vox years ago because it's destructive but I'm just not getting a sound I like. I have high-end ribbon mics & use an in-line pre but still have to get so close I get the proximity effect. I'm thinking of recording further away for a more natural sound & normalizing...

    gain staging, meters, luffs

    I'm trying to get up to speed with luffs. I've been doing old-school gain staging, - 18 DB RMS and - 12 peak. So far from what I'm reading, the integrated range for luffs on the master bus is somewhere around -9 - 20 to leave plenty of headroom for mastering. I know there's no exact rules, but...

    samll mixing desk recommendations?

    I'm looking for a small, under 40 inch desk to use with my laptop-based studio. Ideally I would like to have a second monitor but I can't picture where it would go.

    samplers

    I know this is very basic, maybe someone could direct me to the proper site where I can learn. I've never been exactly clear about samplers, what they are and how to use them. I play back midi files all the time but I think they're being played by software synthesizers or a combination of soft...

    Izotope Neutron 3 & AI mixing software

    I've known about ozone for mastering for a long time but just became aware of neutron 3 for mixing. Their videos are impressive, reviews are generally good although they say it's not perfect and mostly a place to start. Just wondering if others have any experience with neutron or other AI...

    bandlab Sonar dropouts/glitches

    I'm a long-time sonar user, and when I had to move up to Windows 10 I couldn't reinstall my previous version, maybe because it was sold to bandlab. I had to install the bandlab version and lost a whole lot of plugins. It's just a ghost of the setup I had before. Now I keep getting brief dropouts...
