I've been trying out different daws lately, doing mike senior (cambridge) multitracks. I recently got harrison mixbus on sale and did a couple mixes on it. I haven't tried tracking on it but mixing is a trip. Mixbus is made to emulate a console, so it naturally sounds different from other daws...

Fantastic song!

This is a full-length film of Metallica recording their album Hardwired to Self Destruct. There's no narration to get in the way- just tons and tons of footage of them producing and recording each song on the album. It doesn't offer much in the way of technical details but it's really...

Here's an awesome episode of Working Class Audio with Andrew Scheps, in which he reveals he sometimes does mixes with a pair of $80 headphones. :listeningmusic: Everything I know is wrong lol WCA #009 with Andrew Scheps >> Working Class Audio

Hi all- I'm new to mixers so I'm wondering if this exists? 16 channels, interface on board (usb or firewire or something, 16 in/out), faders (motorized or not), pan, highpass, 4 band eq with sweepable mids, compressor on each channel (one knob is fine, as long as it sounds decent.) Digital or...

This thing sounds fucking marvelous. I just did a whole mix with it on every track, the vibe is phenomenal. DAT EQ DO

Hey guys, I'm not really worried about "solving" this problem, but I'm just curious if anyone else has words change sometimes in their mix. It's happened to me more than once now and I've had to re-record to fix it. Like in a current song I sing "baby" and you can hear it that way soloed, but...

This is Britney Spears' track "Toxic" without autotune. Sounds like there might be a lot of vocal processing missing in fact. I thought it was really cool hearing an A-list singer's natural performance. I don't personally believe autotune can make anyone a star but I do believe it made for a...

I found an old jtm30 at a good price, really love the sound. Bought it, took it home and tried to see how it records. Decided to turn the reverb down. . . and realized the pot wasn't doing anything! It's stuck with like a half second spring reverb on all the time. I'm not missing anything, am I...

I just got a 1073mpf, works great but turning on the high pass filter causes a big hum around 60Hz to appear. I'm guessing it's a ground loop but when the filter's off the hum is gone so I'm not too sure. Anyone had a similar issue, could it be proximity to power supply, em interference...

Pretty good news for those of us (me!) struggling to keep up with commercial mixes: spotify's playback level is now limited to -14 lufs. Spotify just reduced its loudness playback level ! - Production Advice So I guess no point in squeezing past -14 lufs now if you're targeting spotify. Apple...

This guy uses pink noise to set the levels for his tracks. There's obviously other processing going on but he doesn't make a bad case for it! First I laughed but now I'm thinking of giving it a try. :o Mixing Techniques - Using Pink Noise To Get A Perfect Balance - YouTube I don't think it...

Bernstein, The greatest 5 min. in music education - YouTube Pretty cool short excerpt from a lecture Bernstein gave, he shows on piano how music progressed from ancient to modern (and maybe where it's going in the future?)

Hey guys, I got some different monitors lately and I wanted to see how different my mixes might be with them in different configurations. So I made multiple mixes of the same verse and chorus with different monitors and/or different techniques. I thought maybe someone would find it interesting...

Got trouble getting enough gain for your sm7b, sm57, or other dynamic microphone? If your interface has a +48v/phantom power mode, the cloudlifter can fix your gain problem. $75 obo, one cloudlifter cl-1, circa 2015, used occasionally in a smoke-free studio. Works great but I have no use for...

Hi all- got sort of a roots rock/power pop song here, hoping you could help me with the mix. . . I feel like it's not totally present, kind of unfocused or in the background somehow. Common problem I run into, maybe you have some advice? :\

I guess these are sometimes MIDI, sometimes "Mackie controllers" so I apologize if it's a bit off-topic. But I'm looking for a controller with lots of knobs/encoders so I can tweak channel strip plugins easy. Ideally something that works out of the box with Logic Pro X. I was looking at the...

I've been thinking of making a midi controller off and on for a while, because I can't find one that has exactly what I want. Just wondering how it'd be laid out at this point really. I got knobs and buttons sussed out I think but what size fader (slide pot) to get? I'd guess like 5" long or so...

This is a great video analyzing andy wallace's mix technique, particularly the kick/snare combo he used on pretty much every hit he mixed in the 90s/00s. https://youtu.be/F916ioSWdts

Decided to try this one again having not listened to my mix from >1 year ago. Turned out very different. . .
