    A question from a german songwriter

    I think is sounded fine. I don't 100% agree about the German. A couple of examples: The style you are singing is very reminiscent of these songs.

    "May Angels Guide" - technology check

    After reading of all the things that were done in the studio from the 60's on, nothing to me is out of bounds. Making it sound good is the only criteria. 80's really ratcheted up synths and drum machines were used a lot during that decade. I am no longer in the purist camp, because it didn't...

    “Waterfall” – New Minimal Techno Track 2025

    IMO - you stay with the drum pattern too long. You really should try and sequence your own drum patterns and break it up. I think as accomplished as you are, you would start to take it up a notch. Start pushing boundaries. The nice thing about this hobby is, we get to take chances. I have a...

    Manslick - NSFW - the F word - beware

    Vocals closer to the music? They cut through really well.

    Thoughts on vocal tuning/heavy editing and an interesting analogy (I think)

    I would remove the word practice and just say, "doing". I say that in reference to when the Beatles went to Hamburg and played like 6 days a week, plus a matinee. My understanding is that is what tightened them up so much, "doing". For me, I know the more that I do, the better I get at doing it...

    "Feeling Low"

    I was just reading about our favorite live albums from the 70's. Much studio trickery!

    Limiting opinion survey

    I like the first one better, but like how the highs are tamed on the second. I am guessing in the 3-5K range, I seem to have an issue with that range and I don't hear (harshness???) it as much on most of the popular music I listen too. First one is the overall better sounding to my ears.

    "Feeling Low"

    I think you could put a bit more bottom in it (I would guess 100iss - 200ish), not a lot. It sounds really good as is, but I think a little more floor would really make good even better. (A pinch of salt)

    Rock On v2

    @Bulls Hit I was reading your comments, I think I can put my finger on what my issue is with it. Your bass needs a little more top. 300-400 maybe to give it more definition. At least that is what I am thinking. It could be the bass might need to be played higher on the neck? Not saying I know...

    Cover of "Reflections" by TWO LANES on the Waldorf Iridium Core synthesizer

    I just purchased a UBX and starting to learn more about hardware synths. I like what you did here. More questions than comments. The tone at 7 seconds, which is carried throughout the song, sounded to me somewhat harsh for the composition. Same way for some of the lower parts. To my ears at...

    Mixing at the Source

    This is what has led me to thinking about the topic. Sound and its placement. Recording quality (capturing) is important, but as most will say, "If it sounds good...". Which is the crux of the point. I think it is less subjective than we want to admit. If you know where you want an instrument...

    Mixing at the Source

    Even in Rock, you have a typical 4/5 piece, Bass, guitar, lead, drums, vocals. It has been done so much, it is not thought about that much. But it is inherently there. You can grab the EQ, but if you do at the source/composition level, while you still need EQ, your EQ'ing should be much less and...

    Mixing at the Source

    Interesting you make that statement. I was watching a video by Anthony Marinelli Music on synths. I just purchased a UBX and I am trying to understand how they work. Anyway, on his video, he made the statement, when playing a synth, and he rightly stated it is a machine, that determining if the...

    “The Himalayas” – Unique Minimal Tribal Acid techno

    It seems the pulsing click doesn't have any rhythm. At least none I could pick up on. I also think you may want to visit the frequencies in the click and soften it in some of the harsh places. Since it is a type of techno IMO, probably could use a bit more thump. Nice progression. A guy you may...

    ARC 4 - Advanced room correction plug-in and measurement microphone.

    I don't disagree, but there is a reasonable balance. The room is treated, I think that is why the correction isn't horrible, but it can be better. I think of it as a balance.

    Times like these we learn to rack again

    I have a gator portable rack. I was going to record bands (long story). Interface, power source to plug everything into, headphone amp. Weighs about 50 pounds (25KG), but pretty contained if I were ever to go mobile.

    ARC 4 - Advanced room correction plug-in and measurement microphone.

    I have to look this up for Ableton. I have Reaper, but rarely use it since I spent soooo much on Ableton in the early days. If I didn't have 12+ years in Ableton, I would definitely be a Reaper guy. Really love that software. Just can't switch (said like the TV Batman when he was in a pickle or...

    ARC 4 - Advanced room correction plug-in and measurement microphone.

    OK, here are my results set. It seems the chart is pretty self explanatory. I did a mix of an older song, but I am not sure I turned off the plugin before I rendered, so I need to verify before I post. I only purchased the software and the mic. They have a box that can be used as an outboard...

    What did you produce in the Lockdown years?

    I liked Bob during his Evangelistic period. I thought it was a pretty gutsy move. Good cover!
