So over the holidays the temptation was too strong and I had to give in: I bit the bullet on Harrison Mixbus 10. Been poking around with project setup (see this thread for more details) and the process is pretty smooth if you're both well-versed with typical DAW workflows AND aware of...

VERY insightful and I will be looking into that resource! Thank you!

Yes, that's what I was referring to, but I am curious whether there was more to it than that? EDIT: @rob aylestone covered some of this just as I posted. I don't have quite the same limitations, because I can mix in a DAW, but to build a production with a coherent "feel" I want to prioritize...

I did consider doing it in mono but it is kind of at the base of it all -- no guitars or bass in the arrangement so it's the main feature instrument. How would the early 4-track bands have done it? is my question. Maybe they didn't do this instrumentation but the concept should remain the same...

Thank you @R D Smith, @Papanate, and @Dusty Ol' Bones! I should clarify though. The video is not the main concern; it's how to prioritize instruments for the "main" take which can then be augmented with additional "production". Also, keep in mind that I will be tracking acoustic piano as part...

Greetings all! A group/band that I lead (to put it simply) is thinking of doing a proper recording of an acoustic folk-ish song later this spring -- around April probably. We are hoping to make a studio video at the same time and capture as much of it live as possible. Problem is, we have no...

That's for all 6 strings? I was just gifted a mandolin -- pics upcoming -- and replaced the strings. 8 strings, mid-quality range, C$12 total I think. Good enough for the mandolin which isn't anything crazy itself. But considering these are the exact strings I play on violin, the price is a...

I don't know much about guitar strings, but I am a violinist and the strings we use are very high-tech in that regard -- it's no longer an "A" string, but it's an A440 string. There are some for slightly higher tunings too; ones optimized for lower tunings are aimed at the "baroque" crowd so are...

This goes for many other brands too in my (limited) experience.

I can attest to that :) Welcome @equality!

Yes ofc it can, final video render I do with a .wav file but if I'm still in the process of mixing it doesn't matter.

Resolve is an incredibly powerful video editor -- free, so basically the Reaper of video editors, and the paid features are very much for people who are making blockbusters. A waste of money for anyone else IMO, and btw I don't know of any limitations to the audio mode (Fairlight) within the...

Oh. Looked him up just now, yeah well that is not very impressive :cautious: Ah well.

Nice take on the song... Embarassingly, I personally never got this tune? until this version; even the recent Luke Coombs cover didn't do it for me. Thank you Mark!

OK I'm not in the loop re:Tamplin here but I know what you're talking about. I dislike the whole polishing process -- it used to be you couldn't polish a turd but now you can. Coincidentally, I did something this morning where I listened to a few mainstream pop songs online and then watched the...

Fun song :) Writing-wise, I generally avoid cuss words but it actually fits in well in the scene you painted with the song, so not a biggie if you ask me!

That's really small... I'm not a professional but from what I have read, putting the mixing desk on the long wall is generally best to optimize tonal balance. Best of luck!

OK listening now, successful vibe/mood composition-wise! Overall slightly muddy and also could use a bit more top end, and as @Papanate said, vox need to pop out a bit more. IMO ;)

Ever heard of Steely Dan? or come to think of it, rock music? ;) More than glad to put politics aside and give a thorough listen, but that won't be tonight. Will try to get to it soon though!
