    Man I feel like just giving up sometimes

    Yeah I'm not sure you could get by without knowing the tempo, but I think you can get creative with pitch. Ian Dury and Lou Reed come to mind.

    Tonight, the Iozotope mastering assistance suggested no EQ changes

    The AI in a mastering plugin thinks my two-track is well balanced. This has never happened before, I feel like I accomplished something. Ignore the other EQ plugin that is doing automatic adjustments before Izotope, that is unrelated and in no way diminishes my achievement

    King Bloom - Overgrown

    Here's kind of a live-sounding mix I did with a hybrid setup. Using some American Football tracks for reference.

    OCD pedal died

    Is this the right place for pedals? Wondering if anyone’s had an ocd die on them, and if there’s maybe a common cause. It happened to die the same day as a tremolo pedal though, so I have no idea if one killed the other or if it was totally coincidental? I measured the voltage on the line...

    I did this recording and didn't realize I had an electronic noise in a couple tracks. Is it prominent/annoying? understanding.mp3

    Great 12-string vst

    I’ve used AmpleSound bass on some songs, it can sound decent if you’re careful with it. But this 12-string they made sounds insanely good. YouTube I’ve seen some “where are the guitar vsts” posts out here so I thought I’d share. The acoustics they make sound great and the basses are good. But...

    Sweetening vox without tuning?

    Check out this song by Foxes in Fiction. The vocals are rough (to be kind). But instead of tuning them the producer seems to have used other instruments and vocal dubs to reinforce the vocal and give it a more pleasant sound. Or am I imagining that? Maybe there is some subtle tuning going on...

    Ozone 8 mastering assistant

    Yeah I'm really starting to appreciate the dynamic EQ myself. The assistant usually puts a band of it on the low mids, which is part of how it clears up the mud. Here's before and after mastering assistant for a track I'm working on. Before: After:

    Ozone 8 mastering assistant

    I got ozone 8 on discount recently and it has a mastering AI that’ll listen to your track and suggest settings. And holy crap the AI is embarrassingly better than I am at getting a decent master. It makes some weird decisions sometimes but it’s brilliant at taming mud, which is the hardest thing...

    Thinking about getting a studiologic sledge

    Anyone got experience with one of these? I love how it sounds on youtube and I’m thinking I could replace my aging MIDI controller with it. I’m looking for some kind of poly to complement my mono synth and this seems like the most bang for the buck.

    Blues cube hot, boss drive version

    I just picked up one of these, got it used from GC. After messing with tubes and attenuators for a few years I wanted something that’s reliable and has a consistent tone. After some dialing in I got a real nice clean. There’s a boost mode for a crunchier sound that I haven’t messed with too much...

    5 quick saturation tricks

    This is a video from Warren Huart that kind of blew my mind. I’ve been using saturation but rarely and only as an effect. But it’s actually a useful tool for controlling transients and making things sound bigger and more forward. I’ve done a few mixes applying the ideas in this video and it’s...

    Guitar amp as monitor?

    My wife and I saw Bob Seger tonight. (72 years old, still rocks!) One of the guitarists was on the jumbotron when I noticed he had a blues junior centered between two wedge monitors. There didn't appear to be a mic on it. Do guitarists sometimes use amps as monitors on stage?
