I mean yeah, to some extent I am fixated by the look of the waveform. I think it indicates at least some kind of issue that needs some attention. There might be something in it that most (all?) of my mixes wind up very spikey looking. I've found pro stuff where the waveform is similar...Handle...

Just getting back to this visual thing that you point out. I raised this issue in another thread (see here: https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/mixing-sos.413958/page-5 post #93) I had going for a while...coz so many of my mixes always looked like this....very large prominent snare and or kick...

Fair call. I've never had a bluetooth speaker thing so finally got one. The bass on it is, yeah like I said, massive. Apparently people love their bass. I'm a bass fan too...but this thing...insane, ha! Hey HP, thanks. Soundcloud really did a number on the songs I put up lately especially on a...

Will get back to this when I can. Thanks Talisman and others. I'll be back.

Crazy hey...I played it on one of those Bose bluetooth speaker things and the bass was gargantuan. You can't win. ?

Uploading a new mix of Another Time. Does it sound better? Or just the same? Sounds somewhat the same to me on my phone but it sounds better to me on soundcloud this time. Not great, just better. Sounds like there's levels out of whack for certain parts on soundcloud. Crazy. I'd have thought if...

Ok, I'm going to try to be really minimal on the VST drum stuff. Yep. Ok, ditto to this. Will try a very light hand. Ok yeah see this kind of waveform is one I seem to end up with on my mixes a lot. And this could be the reason why the mixes sound particularly bad on soundcloud...because...

Thanks Rob. Yeah I can try mixing again turning off the limiters and compressors. Mixing by numbers...yes I am using that as a crutch or guideline or something. My main reason being that if I got a mix that was peaking digital scale at -3dbfs, say...and the average level was about -23...and I...

Err...having another look into all this...the 'Another Time' song just seems to be a combo of bad VST drum choice, ponderous song and just garden variety bad mixing. I've been on a mixing run lately doing about 5 songs or so and fell to that problem where you just pretend that everything is OK...

Hi, I've been trying to get better at mixing. Gonna cut a long story short and get to it... My drums (EDIT: VST drums...EZD, AD2, Ujam etc) are sounding really compressed and weak when played back on laptops especially...but not so bad on phones. Uploading to soundcloud the drums sound just...

See next post. I buggered it up here.

Yeah, all latest updated stuff. And buffer size is nowhere near low. I'm looking into the possibility of some kind of USB port snafu. But this issue existed on my old laptop too. Which would mean if it is USB related that'd be 2 bad USB ports in a row on 2 different machines producing the same...

Yeah you're making a lot of sense. I guess I should head on over to RME and post a thread on their forums. By the way, I'm always very impressed by fellas like you taking the time to throw audio clips into your DAW for a look-see. Appreciate that!

Yeah I do. I have an RME Babybface but not installed on this PC. I have it hooked up to a laptop. I could try recording through it DI.

Right, but it isn't really specific notes. If I gave that impression that's my bad. Sometimes I feel like if the fleshy part of the hand connects two strings then that's a cause...but yeah...not repeatable. I've DI'd this bass numerous times and got through sessions where the clicking doesn't...

Ok, thanks for this. I'll have to carefully read your comments and digest them and then see if I can do some troubleshooting with regards to your points. Yeah, there's lots of interference around these days and electronic garbage. Not being able to consistently repeat the clicks makes it really...

Interesting. It's currently unavailable. But I can look around. So what does it do? Prevents static? For how long?

Thanks, yeah I think it's something really close to this. I have tried picking the strings with no part of my picking hand or fingers touching the pickguard, pickups or any part of the guitar...only the pick itself...and I still get the clicks. The transfer leading to static could be occurring...

No effects. The clips I posted are raw tracks. As described.

That's just the thing JAPOV...when the bass is mixed and part of the full mix those little electronic tearing sounds stand out even more. They can't be surgically removed from the bass track because they are baked in and attempted removal ruins the overall bass sound. If I couldn't hear them in...
