Radio tuners can increase the treble quite a lot, and I don't want my level of high end on my master to ruin a recording by allowing the listener to put too much treble on the finished product. Where's a good drawing line for acoustic bluegrass? What is a good roll off - 8K? 10K? or higher...

Thanks. I worked in those areas. I took the doublers off too,

I have a friend who records in Pro Tools and asked if I would mix them. He wrote a gospel song called Hold Me. On this tune he recorded an acoustic guitar with a mic and an acoustic guitar with a pick up. And he sang the song. I don't feel sure about this one for whatever reasons. I used a...

I've been working on finding a good reverb for this style of music. People have going towards a dry sound, but still with some kind of character resembling reverb. This song has Waves Renaissance Reverberation on it. I still haven't learned enough about tailoring all of the controls in...

My Last Days on Earth - Bill Monroe This song is one of Bill Monroe's unique tunes, where he tunes in an odd dissonant way to capture some interesting sounds. I mixed this one, and played banjo on it. Just open to any suggestions. Thanks

A while ago I tried pushing a CD of myself along with 20+ friends mixed into the different songs. I never ended up publishing the CD, for one reason or another. One of my favorites on the CD was my original "Waitin' on Ashley," featuring Ashley Lewis - mandolin Andy Hatfield - guitar Doug...

I've been under the impression for so long that Firewire as opposed to USB is the way to go for audio files. But I found out that Avid recommends USB over Firewire because the drivers in USB have gotten better in Windows 7, and the drivers for firewire are not supported there. Just some...

I haven't recorded in quite a bit; here's an old tune written by Grandpa Jones called Eight More Miles to Louisville. A buddy and mine are putting a CD together, he's playing mandolin, Dobro, and tenor. I'm singing lead, and on banjo, guitar & bass. I'd appreciate any feedback...

Back in 2006 I recorded out of my bedroom directly to a Fast Track Pro into ProTools 7. I mixed it the best I could with what I had (I have lots more plugins now!). I put it on a CD with 9 other songs, sent it to a contact in Nashville TN, and it got some airplay on WSM!!!!!!! I was really...

I'm pretty much a newbie here, but I've got an idea in my head. It may not be worth anything to anybody, though. It's called a Tolerance Maximizer. Basically it's a maximizer a lot like Pro Tool's Maxim. But instead of a release/limit, it allows certain frequencies, with an adjustable Q...

I had a little money to spend on myself this Christmas, and just ordered Sonic Sweet from BBE, which has three plugins - Sonic Maximizer, Harmonic Maximizer, and Loudness Maximizer. I'm using these in my master. In the chain I have everything set up like below except I don't know what order...

I just discovered my Guitar Pro 5 tab program exports midi files of the notes I created. Then I import that file into Pro Tools, and assign an instrument track and an instrument, get the i/o's right, and man, it's magic. Since I don't play piano or keyboard, this is perfect. I actually use...

I run Pro Tools to mix and master. I do mostly acoustic recordings, and when you're working with 12 or more songs on a CD, it's more efficient to keep the mixing to just that (a little compression on each instrument or vocal, and EQ on each, getting each song as good sounding as possible...

Hey, I've got two songs on my Panther Creek Studios website here in Roanoke, IL. They're both bluegrass. This was done before I used the ART products, and I had a M-Audio Pro I plugged straight into. But I imported some fiddle and mandolin parts from Nashville. Here's the songs and who is...

I've noticed a few things about running my operating system (Windows xp pro) with Pro Tools 8: (This is a computer thing, not a Pro Tools problem, I believe) 1. There are times I'll be in a session 24bit/44.1kHz and the clock stalls and jumps ahead, and the click track is inconsistent 2...

Hey guys, As you all know a really good mulit-band compressor with four bands plugin is about $400-$600, for instance, at waves audio. But I experimented around with what I have and it works just as well: side note: I work in M-Powered Pro Tools 8.0.4cs2 and have a 2-band eq from Waves and...
