Many thanks . Should be ok . I suspect there might possibly be a bit of noise when I make a stereo from this into the 8 track (where I'll then try to conceive of a vocal .) In any case my music has a habit of vibing a bit early 70s so maybe not ultra clean is passable . Spitfire strings have...

Zoom r16 standalone recorder . The metering is pretty rudimentary . 4 led blocks relating to -48 -12 -6 and 0db. None of the tracks exceed the - 48 block at any time . The master will venture into -12 territory on the led meter at times when the master faders are at +6db

Ok so maybe I accept that the whole mix won't be loud at 0db on the master fader . Then when I end up adding vox and overall compression with mastering it will come good

Hi every time I try to balance tracks against each other they compete to go gradually lower. Sounds more balanced somehow . Subsequently I push the master fader over 0db to get it louder . This happens to me everytime .anyone else have this ? I try to get at least one of the tracks back to 0db...

Many thanks . Just bought them

Hi wondered if anyone had this . Recommend ? I have their intimate strings pack and they're good

Thanks .got it sorted phoned Steinberg in Germany to talk me through the download

Having an interesting chord progression does help form a good basis for a song . It will allow for any melodic line over it to deviate further . Besides this focusing on dynamics and getting the tempo to give energy .that said there's some great songs with chord progressions which don't really...

Anyone near maidenhead who can set me up? I have a Yamaha modx which comes with cubase ai. think it's downloaded but there a 30 character or so code I don't have ? Also will need to get a couple of spitfire packs on the laptop and connect keyboard . I need help from a computer literate type . I...

I'm still convinced if you had the right environment. First class musicians and instruments . Good condenser mic and mixing expertise you could get a track professional enough on a pocket digital tascam 8 track. Sure there'd be limitiations by today's standards . But then alot of modern...

Yes I agree less of right still beats more of wrong

Yes all great points . It seems maybe if you come just above being buried on vocals it sits with the music rather than sits over it . Interesting point about the narrow frequency range of a phone speaker . I've also experimented with subtle panning on double tracked vocals . Seems they can just...

I was listening to the engineer geoff emerick the other week who suggested alot of the hard panning around the peppers era was due it being quickly remastered from mono to stereo at the behest of studio execs. At that time classical was still mostly the genre which was in stereo and pop was...

I've noticed by playing a track back out of a phone that vocals seem obviously too high where they seemed ok through headphones . Gradually remixed vocals downward several times so they sit better in the mix . Perceiving vocal balance is really tricky . Maybe this is a good test ? Playing...

Yes that's basically it . It's effectively taking up more space in the sound field . Ultimately the whole thing with mixing seems to be trading off one thing for another . You simply have to drive one thing out more to allow another prominence or space to breathe . For a long time I had this...

Hi . I've noticed when mixing a track there are limits to what you can do . Example I have a track where vocals have alot of reverb and it works much better keeping everything else dry and relatively low in the mix . Is this a general rule

Hi let me know if you have one of these sound modules . I'd like know if it's sounds are any better in authenticity than the yamaha par s975 I have

Hi I demo the sv2 the other day and as expected the strings were quite organic and natural. I felt I could do something with those . the pianos however felt somewhat underwhelming . thin woolly and lacking stereo field . has anyone come across alternatives. basically looking for traditional...

Yes the dp008ex is a great piece of kit and I consider its capable of a lot better results than the sketch pad marketing suggests . with a lot of work with techniques / environment / performance it will yield good results . Yes an external quality condenser Mic is necessary . the internal mics...

Think I've got it . Basically had this song which feels like a slow vibe (6/8 62bpm) . It was too slow . Then did 68bpm and 71bpm. I think what I've learned here is that legato string phrases and long held vocal notes is what's forcing me to think it needs to be a slow song . In reality I think...
