Hi guys, im having problems and no one on the syntrillium website is really helping so im going to paste it in here
Hey all
It's me Ron Cavagnaro, i have a probably oft-asked question...
Most of my recordings have a thin feeling to it all, and ive tried compression, eq, etc and i really cant get a punchy professional sound, everyone says it sounds early 90's... Well im wondering could this be because of the mics i use? I am currently using all I have which says "AKG D 190 ES 200 OHM MADE IN AUSTRIA"... I think its a multi-directional mic, and its plugged directly into my livedrive extension (for my SBLIVE)... Most of my older recordings I have used noise reduction... But still sounding thin... No matter how i normalize things, or EQ things up, it still sounds "early 90's" to everyone i ask. So what should I do about this? Ive heard lots of other cool edit pro users material and it sounds so loud it almost breaks my speakers compared to what Ive been producing. Is it that they sent their material out to be mastered? I dont even know what to say about this. Please any suggestions? Are there ways I should use the frequency statistics to fix things? I really would like technique. I feel that I have a good recording ear and producing ear, but i want to produce THICK sounds. Most of the material ive been producing for musicians here have been in a very acoustic guitar-centered solo songwriter arena. I know lots of tricks and whatnot but i never can reach that THICK sound.
Tips PLEASE?
Ron Cavagnaro
