Ok.

Everything is eventually converted down to 44.1 16bit. Even lower when its made into an MP3. So, that's all I need. Note - unless its mastered for itunes but that's not the point here. example - It's like if a video had to be converted down to 720. Me working with 1040, 4k, a million K...

Hello

Ok, I've seen this scam done many ways. There's a dude doing it specifically with recording studios. And "I know" he will get some young sound engineers with this. He's very good! Here's how the scam goes. This dude (Stephen Mark 714-510-2692) contacted me 10/05/2018. 1. He emails your...

This has always been part of my service since 1999. If someone's mix is bad, the master will be bad too. So, I give all of my clients detailed advice on how to fix their mixes FIRST. http://JRmastering.com

We just released the video by JAI, Mahalin Muli. The title means "Love Me Again." It's in the Filipino language Tagalog. But, we worked hard to tell a story that everyone could understand. Hope you enjoy it!

Ok, we shot this video with two Iphone X's. If you attempt this, I have three tips for you. 1. Don't zoom! Ever! 2. Limit your movement unless you have a steady cam. 3. Good lighting is important. One cameraman had a few problems with #1&2 which hurt the quality of a few of the scenes. But...

Obviously you're not boosting them enough....

its lacks a little sparkle in the 6k to 10k area. Not much instrumentation there either. also, the hi hats could be louder. Other than that, overall its pretty good.

You 100pct cannot mix only with headphones. The #1 reason is bass response is usually poor and if a headphone has good bass, then the highs are weaker. Can't be done.

Where are your recording levels? I you recording over-level to begin with?

Mixing is done with your DAW software. You have two inputs so you could record both mics at the same time, I'm pretty sure, if you wanted too.

I agree with Miroslav, it's about comparing back and forth your mix with the reference track. If you're new at this, I do recommend try to match the characteristics of commercial radio songs. If you're just starting out and don't know what you are doing, adding your own flavor usually will not...

Got it! PM me if you have any mixing or mastering questions. I wish you the very best with your music career.
