In REAPER, it's right on the master fader. I think you can change what's displayed where, but on mine I have the peak level above the fader, and the RMS level below.
?
.Oh, I forgot. Yeah, no the 2488 didn't do that. I had to bring my mixes into REAPER to "Shmaster" them back in the day.
Shooting for a number is really only helpful when putting a bunch of tracks together in an album format. Use your ears since you have to anyway. We used to do this when building hot rod engines.....we'd run a set of cold spark plugs on the dyno, do a pull, then check the plugs. If they weren't melted, we'd put in a hotter set and do it again. We'd keep going hotter and hotter until they would literally start to flake apart and discolor after a power run. That's how we knew we went too far. We'd then go back one step colder and call it good. You can do your mix like that. Keep beating on it until it falls apart, then back it off some.I'm not in the PC/Reaper mode yet. Welcome to 1999 heatmiser. I don't know if your 2488 had that feature, but I haven't found it on my Roland. I'll poke around some more though. I assume that is a reading of some kind of average or mean level, which is probably much different than just visually observing the peaks. Maybe that's why my masters are so wildly different from one another in volume despite peaking at the same points
Nah, it's all good to me. I like it. It beats trying to tell some idiot that he doesn't need to run a real life tube screamer before amplitube.Yes, I think I will try that, thanks!
Sorry, I know this is supposed to be about one particularly good mix, but you opened the door by being so receptive and helpful. I hope you learned your lesson!
Thanks a lot. This will get a retrack of some vocals and a remix before it sees the light of day again.So a question, if 100 PSI is good for normal guys, would 120 PSI make small guys think they are more manly? Just saying, one size might fit all, but if it is adjustable
I also just a thought, the lead vocal, and don't exactly know how you would do it, but push the lead vocal up front, not loud but more detached from the rest to give it an air of even more attitude.
Anyway, probably full of crap anyway, but as always cool tune and full of great humor.
Ok then, don't do it. It's a silly thing to do.Oh shit! That was my next question...
I made all this stuff myself. Each corner has a 4" thick OC703 bass trap in it. The big panels surrounding the kit and clouds are 4'x4' 2" thick OC703 mainly to tame comb filtering and crappy ceiling reflections around the kit. I then move them around for mixing to hit first reflection points. It all works out pretty well. I don't think any of it has much, if any, effect on my guitar recordings. I've had these cabs all over the place. They sound the same everywhere when there's 2 million decibels coming out of them and a mic jammed right up on it.
OK, I know what you're trying to do there, Columbo.
