    The wages of fear

    Something different this time, a sort of trucker song based on a movie I watched. :) Let me know what sticks out. . .

    A tutorial on dealing with masking in mixes

    This YouTube tutorial has been really helpful. I hit a plateau a while back (still getting out of it honestly) where I wasn’t able to get the clarity I wanted, and boosting eq was just making things worse. I started doing cuts as described in this video though and it’s helped me make things...

    Do p-basses reject noise better than j-basses?

    Hey all, while trying to solve a noise issue with my jazz, I started reading about the differences in jazz and precision pickups. The jazz is a single coil, which naturally picks up more noise than a hum bucker for example. But it’s not clear to me what the p bass uses- a split single coil which...

    PreSonus shipping delays?

    I ordered an audio interface on reverb over the weekend. It still hasn’t shipped yet so I messaged the seller, and they said PreSonus is shipping it direct. But they’re having delays due to covid and “having to move between facilities”. Has anyone else experienced any shipment delays with...

    OCD pedal died

    Is this the right place for pedals? Wondering if anyone’s had an ocd die on them, and if there’s maybe a common cause. It happened to die the same day as a tremolo pedal though, so I have no idea if one killed the other or if it was totally coincidental? I measured the voltage on the line...

    Great 12-string vst

    I’ve used AmpleSound bass on some songs, it can sound decent if you’re careful with it. But this 12-string they made sounds insanely good. YouTube I’ve seen some “where are the guitar vsts” posts out here so I thought I’d share. The acoustics they make sound great and the basses are good. But...

    Sweetening vox without tuning?

    Check out this song by Foxes in Fiction. The vocals are rough (to be kind). But instead of tuning them the producer seems to have used other instruments and vocal dubs to reinforce the vocal and give it a more pleasant sound. Or am I imagining that? Maybe there is some subtle tuning going on...

    Ozone 8 mastering assistant

    I got ozone 8 on discount recently and it has a mastering AI that’ll listen to your track and suggest settings. And holy crap the AI is embarrassingly better than I am at getting a decent master. It makes some weird decisions sometimes but it’s brilliant at taming mud, which is the hardest thing...

    Thinking about getting a studiologic sledge

    Anyone got experience with one of these? I love how it sounds on youtube and I’m thinking I could replace my aging MIDI controller with it. I’m looking for some kind of poly to complement my mono synth and this seems like the most bang for the buck.

    Blues cube hot, boss drive version

    I just picked up one of these, got it used from GC. After messing with tubes and attenuators for a few years I wanted something that’s reliable and has a consistent tone. After some dialing in I got a real nice clean. There’s a boost mode for a crunchier sound that I haven’t messed with too much...

    5 quick saturation tricks

    This is a video from Warren Huart that kind of blew my mind. I’ve been using saturation but rarely and only as an effect. But it’s actually a useful tool for controlling transients and making things sound bigger and more forward. I’ve done a few mixes applying the ideas in this video and it’s...

    Guitar amp as monitor?

    My wife and I saw Bob Seger tonight. (72 years old, still rocks!) One of the guitarists was on the jumbotron when I noticed he had a blues junior centered between two wedge monitors. There didn't appear to be a mic on it. Do guitarists sometimes use amps as monitors on stage?

    Harrison Mixbus DAW

    I've been trying out different daws lately, doing mike senior (cambridge) multitracks. I recently got harrison mixbus on sale and did a couple mixes on it. I haven't tried tracking on it but mixing is a trip. Mixbus is made to emulate a console, so it naturally sounds different from other daws...
