    Mastering Thought for the Day

    I agree that the mixing level has improved greatly. :-) I encourage everyone to keep mixing and mastering, if only to improve your skills. Fantastic. Well as you make it clearer and clearer to hear the detail (break out the clearer lens to see through analogue), the better it will be all...

    Mastering Thought for the Day

    A great reminder about taking or leaving time to re-listen but, you still can't exclude the Mastering. Making certain that you are rested and coming in with a set of neutral ears is great preparation but not a replacement for a set of Mastering skills.

    Mastering Thought for the Day

    The question is 1. I can more detail, Y or N ? 2. After hearing more detail clearly and taking some time to consider, am I going to tweak anything? If the answer to ! is "yes" than your aren't going to change up Mastering Engineers. I also like RFR's reminder to leave time to re-listen but...

    Mastering Thought for the Day

    No, in practise usually the mixing engineer hears somethings that he would want to fine tune. A Mastering engineer and Mixing Engineer can discuss the details and mutually gain insight. That is a healthy conversation that benefits the project much more than a "blind", best effort. Maybe check...

    Mastering Thought for the Day

    Ujn Hunter Funny, I didn't say "bad." It is the detail that you should hear that might make you want to tweak somethings. Either you have experienced it or not. Have a good day.

    Mastering Thought for the Day

    Give whoever you are considering to Master your album/project just one track/song of yours to Master. Then listen to it on the best system available to you. You should clearly hear every detail on the original mix much better and be already thinking about making tweaks to your original mix...

    Direct Boxes

    What a great thread. Thanks for starting it. As usual it boils down to what sound do you want to create and how do I tap into it without changing it? As Rob pointed out DI's price point have more to do build quality than sound. I treat my musicians customers with respect and let them know...

    Constant Ringing at Multiple Frequencies

    Communication signal noise? Listen to this example and see if it similar? BTW the idea of breaking the ground loop via an optical conversion is good, however this doesn't look like a high quality conversion. Cheers, Tom

    CAD M179, Well it's another great performer for the money and versatile. Infinitely variable pattern and around $350 CAD new. That should be about 212 for you? I went through your video's. Well done, great idea. Cheers, Tom eh

    Microphone tests and explanations

    Hi Rob. I popped over to Youtube and "subscribed" to your channel. Well done sir. One question for my own reference, what is the characteristics of your environment/recording space? RT60 plot etc. Cheers, Tom eh

    Mixing SOS

    Yes, "psychoacoustic is an option from the pulldown menu under the title "Graph" at the top. It will apply smoothing to the measurement that you made and as the name indicates focuses on the way we hear it while at the same time gets rid of the very fine bumps that are not important to our...

    Mixing SOS

    "Modified?" Yea, just your original stereo track adjusted. I'm certain you will get lot's of advice here but I'll give my advice. Our ears and brain rebalance what we are listening to very quickly just like lighting conditions with the eye and brain. If you go under a blue canopy on a sunny...

    Mixing SOS

    Hi I have some time to spend while in Mexico so I took your first song that I considered "muddy" and went through some basics with it with the limited tools I have with me. You have a nice sound that reminds me of John Lennon BTW. I'll attach what I did with it not knowing anything about you...

    ART PRO MPA 2 - XLR chanel 1 is not working

    Ha, ha, Was I too polite Rob? So MindWork what you indicated is; 1. You don't know how to use the a multimeter so you won't know how to test anything in the circuit. As I said earlier "It would be a lot more practical to find someone who can show you how to use your multimeter to isolate the...
