I listen on Kali L6. Just Curious... how much do you filter the muck out of your tracks ? This is an example of EQ's I would Apply to a Snare and a Kick. Its hard to see the numbers but everything below 75hz on the Snr is Gone everything below 40hz on the Kick is gone. Its not for everyone, but...

I may have the opportunity to purchase a small Condo. Is there a way to add sound proofing that will considerably cut down the loud sounds, so I could play loud monitors, a small tube amp, loud acoustic guitars, loud singing etc. without disturbing neighbors. What is the most practical way to...

This is my latest mix.

All comments welcome, especially looking for comments on the bass and overall mix balance. Pete :guitar:

Has anyone used the Toneport UX with Podfarm 2.5 for vocals ? I'm intrigued by the mic preamp software in Podfarm 2.5. Is it really any good? USB interfaces don't impress me because of their big latency. I have a good PCI interface so I could just buy a mic pre instead, but a good ones at least...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybvruzd3XE0 This is a great re-mix of the Beach Boys "God only Knows" It sounds very good for being recorded in 1966 in Los Angeles. Brian Wilson recorded it on Ampex 8 track and 4 track machines. Does anyone know or want to contribute as to what other type...

I have noticed that I can get some pretty interesting results using the MID/SIDE processing functions in my Izotope 5 Mastering Suite. Mostly I notice a cleaner bass, and a cleaner stereo spread. It does make sense to get a bit more clarity by treating the middle and sides separately with some...

I recently downloaded this Free compressor, works surprisingly well. My question is that when you change the preset to mixbuss or premaster (buss) the VU meter works the other way around. In other words it acts like an output meter rather than showing the amount of reduction. How do you know how...

What is a "summing" mixer, and how is it different than a regular console/mixer ?

This is the biggest project I've done so far on my DAW 46 channels. All comments and suggestions are welcome. Pete

I always liked this tune, nice "how to video" Pink Floyd : Money in Studio VERY RARE!! - YouTube

A friend of mine asked me if I could write something that wasn't so dark. I find Happy lyrics are hard to write. I'm hoping to get some live drums/percussion on it, but all comments suggestions are welcome. Pete

Sorry if this doesnt belong in this thread, but I was pretty surprized when I saw this picture of Van Halen recording at Sunset Sound. Is it a common thing to record a band playing that loud without any isolation? It sure looks like David lee Roth is planted for the picture, but the rest looks...

My SSL alpha channel has a switch that sums the send and return of whatever is inserted into the channel. I have a compressor inserted on the send and return. I'm not quite sure whats happening when I select to sum(mix) the send and return. Does that mean half the signal is compressed and the...

If guitar player one is playing through a 50watt amp into two 25 watt speakers and guitar player two is playing through two 25watt amps each with a 25 watt speaker are they the same volume? (assuming they are the same type of speakers and amps at max volume)

I noticed something about my mixes lately, which is that the sustain of the bass (in particular) changes on different playback systems, sometimes quite noticably. In some cases it even sounds as if it drops out. I use very short (in fact the shortest) release settings on my Mastering limiter...

How often do you make a separate buss for vocals. What settings do you use on the buss and why? How does it differ from just mixing the tracks as is?

I've noticed that I cant automate the controls on a VST ins. such as a synth in Cubase 5.5. All the controls on the track work, but I cant say automate a cutoff control or sustain control on the synth. ??? Anyone ???
