These forums need lengthy thought provoking posts like yours every now and then. Discussions and ideas don't flow without them. I was dissapointed in a few people here driving people away and shutting them down recently. We lost somebody very valuable recently because of it. Still, it's not as...

Load up EQ then Spectrum analyzer after it, add a white noise generator. Now you can see exactly what your EQ moves are doing. For me a 3band EQ is practically useless unless I'm working with tracks that are recorded in good rooms, I'm needing to cut very aggressive at 150hz - 250hz with a very...

The rhythm guitar sounding harsh on laptops or phones is something I struggled with a lot in the past, it's out of balance so try a little bit of de-essing at 3 or 3.5khz, and if removing a little of that frequency does not work with a static EQ because you said it sounds muffled then try...

Yeah, if a signal is out of phase by 180 degrees it's just late I thought I always say "Flipping the phase" though because I really don't care. There are people out there that say phase is important on single mik'd sources like a kick drum. They want the push of the waveform to happen first on...

I couldn't get back to you yesterday, squeezing some time out of the morning to reply here. If recording organic instruments alongside writing midi (like me) I do not know what is the best DAW, but so far for me I LOVE LogicX. It has score editor so I can write whatever I want in piano roll and...

FLstudio is hands down the best midi oriented DAW out there and I believe one of the cheapest also. I'll say it how it is, I only wish I had people willing to say it how it is to me whenever I start heading in the wrong direction. To not judge is impossible, it's completely natural and it is...

didn't read all the thread. subscriptions are a con, you never own it and a company can just lock you out of it like avid did with the russians. People must have mental health issues or are seriously misguided if they literally subscribe to plugins and sample packs for years throwing money...

This is how I learn to mix. Nothing more valuable than getting the best mix you can and having someone who is pro to master it then trying to match the master with your mix, or trying to "beat" the master. There is no better way

roll back the volume on the guitar then strum as loud as you can and make sure it doesn't clip. That will get you by for now. I would use a DI box if it were me though.... I'm supersticious about leaving the guitar volume on 10 and would rather step it down with a PAD on a DI box

Does it sound great out of the PA just because it's louder and you are hearing the sound interact with your room? Is it actually the same dry signal you are recording into your DAW? can you play your recording back out through the PA and that would be something that sounds good to you? You can...

I'm only talking about the advice (If it sounds good, it is good). Of course there are no rules. I don't care about the 1%. Once a mix translates to every speaker. I'm done. This is my number 1 priority at all times. I'd rather listen to a bad mix with a good song idea (as long as it...

You'll probably hear the phrase (It doesn't matter what it sounds like in solo, it matters what it sounds like in the mix) just as often as (If it sounds good, it is good) My point being you need to make something sound (not good). So you'll fight your instincts... how (not good) do I make this...

Big discussions on the thoughts of people who say this lately in my circles. Seems people who say this instantly lose every ounce of credibility they once had. Everyone knows it's far from as simple as that otherwise everyone would be doing killer mixes. The comment comes across as condescending...

It's not a rule but if your track needs to be up front and loud then having lots of reverb on it can help to make the track less obnoxiously loud. It turns the effect more into a feature if your other tracks are lower in volume giving lots of space around it but can be tricky to mix if your...

Have you got any experience with the ARTtubeV3? I have it but I'm not so sure I'm getting the most from it. Are you looking at the gain reduction meter and slamming it? Or are you looking to just make it fluctuate slightly? Let's say you're recording acoustic guitar (strumming) is the unit...

ReaComp, nice to know. I'll try it out at some point. L2 is THE limiter, I wish others would have that handy level matching handle. I wish it was a standard feature for every limiter

Nice. I see it's a compressor and limiter in 1 with lookahead. I'd buy it if I wasn't so tight

Don't use compression as a limiter, it has an attack time, even if setting the attack time to the fastest and at the highest ratio. A decent limiter has a lookahead time.

I compress even the best vocal takes....... heavily, then limit. I personally don't see the point of compressing on the way in unless you want control so you can record hotter through analogue gear
