    Saturation control in an EQ ?

    hi, I have this great EQ I use with Sonar, a freebie from Kjaerhus called the Classic. It has a button named "warm" which I keep on, and can hear the difference, but has another button "SAT" for Saturation. I did some headphone tests on a dry solo vocal to play around with SAT but I honestly...

    Quickie on the Low End

    Simple question on Low EQ hi, this is my biggest problem. Whats been happening is that I think I've killed so much low end on my mixes that everthing sounds shallow and tight. I really got into my own EQ's and had ignored the EQ's done by our engineer, since his seemed too boomy. Now I've gone...

    Tight dense harmony vocals

    In my quest for Tight dense harmony vocals, I'm looking to make them omnipresent, unobtrusive, safely out of the way of the lead. Our songs have 15-20 vocal tracks each. (Rock) not like Def Leppard Like Destiny's Child meets the Beach Boys meets Green Day at an Eagles reahearsal. I assume...
