Well, that's just it. Yes, I was using the stock mastering compression in the Korg, but 0 db is not really 0 db on it, it's -3 or -4 db. The levels on my meter show it maxed out at 0 db, and yes, the limiter and compressor was engaged, but 0 db is not 0 db. I mean, I had it running hot...

Why I ran it through the mixer Mixsit asked why my final mixes were even run through a mixer to begin with. Well, I bought a Korg D3200 a number of months ago and recorded a 11 song project on it. After I mixed it, I burned off a CD on the built-in CDR of my final mixes. I sent it off to be...

After I mixed my 11 song project, I ran all 11 songs from my recorder through my Mackie mixer into my stand alone recorder to make my master CD. It sounded good, and then I noticed I had the low cut 75 HZ button engaged. Should I re-record my songs without the low cut 75 HZ button off? Does...

I've had an interesting situation come up in my practice mixes with my solo trumpet. I've gotten the trumpet fattened up now in the mix and it sounds great. But now a new problem has come up -- When I play my mix on my big stereo, my lead trumpet sounds about correct in relation to the rest of...

Hey Fraserhutch, I would be real interested in how Jerry Hey recorded his trumpet. Incidentally, I experimented with adding some chorus, and also copying the track two times and then three times. For what I did, copying the track a couple of times was similar to a chorus effect. Which, by the...

Yes, I've thought of double or even triple tracking. How would I go about doing that? Offset each one and eq them differently? Any more suggestions?

Hmmmm, a lot to think about here. I'll experiment with the short delay. By the way, Chessrock, no offense taken, but what mic would you recommend for recording a trumpet? I'm a little short in mic selection. I only have the AKG but also a Rode NT1.

Thanks. however, I've already compressed it and, really, it sets well in the mix. But the problem I'm having is getting the trumpet to sound bigger, not louder. I'm really stumped on this one.

I recorded a trumpet using an AKG C1000S microphone on a 24 bit digital recording. The trumpet sounds clear as a bell, but in practicing several mixdowns, the trumpet sounds "small" in the mix. Any suggestions for fattening up the trumpet in the mix??
