That's it! If you have that 1 single mono vocal track, you are essentially changing each take just a little with all of the above processing, and spreading it to the extreme left+right. To fully understand just watch the quick video by warren huart - (Vocal Thickening Trick) be aware that you...

Yeah, to add to it. Lead vocal, or guitar Center track. Create a send to 10 aux's to start with (just use a single send, you'll want to feed 100% of the signal to all anyway) 1. Pitch Down 3cents Hard Left 2. Pitch Up 3cents Hard right 3. Pitch Down 6cents Hard Right 4. Pitch Up 6cents Hard...

Doubling up on lead guitars is extremely common, center panned, same tones even. It adds a nice thickness during chorus's etc. Singers do this on countless songs too, same idea. I record 2 rhythm guitars and hard pan (don't we all) when summed to mono I have not once, ever, ever, ever heard a...

^ You need to ease back on the bass on your amp, I use less than I think I need because the proximity effect puts it back in again. HPF is useless for cutting out boom, You'd need to HPF up way too high for that. Use a multiband compressor at 120-220, or if it's that palm mutey boom then a bit...

Cheers dude, I'm sure I will be back in a couple of months, It's just a barrage of other responsibilites I have coming up that are making it difficult for me to chill here as often as I'd like to. currently working 3 jobs and have some legal stuff I'm going through. Luckily 2 of those jobs are...

If your bass is Mono and too wide I feel like you may be hearing too much of a frequency buildup, Mono and too wide does not make any sense to me. I can't really tell you much more on how to sort your problem because I do not know anything about your DAW or even if you have a mid side EQ. But I...

The image is already off center, I was suggesting to just wipe it out with a high pass filter to get that low end balanced again, and mono. If his bass was mono, there would be no (sides) anyway. It's literally no different to having a completely mono bass, but with a stereo chorus on an aux but...

That is (really) good to know, thanks for explaining the reasoning behind it. Spot on!

That's good to know, (bouldersoundguy) I just high passed the sides at around 150 on master..... not sure I like it. wandering if a hpf @ 300hz would sound better. never thought to go that high. cheers

You need to set up your project so you have more control. I use midi drums but still export all my drums to individual tracks, this way I can add samples and align for phase to the OH's, send drums for parallel compression, add reverbs to indivudual drums etc. Yeah, the drums are stereo but that...

You have stereo widening effects on your kick drum? Bass? high pass at 200 (the whole effect, not just the side, I will typically High pass reverb returns/delays at around 200hz to help with buildup/congestion). Is your Kick or bass a stereo file? Either High pass with an EQ on the side channel...

any video on high passing. there's a hundred of them. it irks me when it doesnt clearly state this in the video title but instead its called (the secret EQ move for clearer and punchier mixes) I saw this one pop up yesterday. started watching and realised it was another video on high passing...

Ah! no saturation wouldnt be needed if I recorded using a tube pre, or tape or whatever (because there would already be plenty of that), I was talking about recordings straight into your IO with a cheaper condenser mic (or even mid priced ones?) which I'm going to assume is most people, that's...

A touch of warm tape saturation on your digital recordings always works. Smashing your sub 170hz-200hz with a compressor on a bass guitar always works. and is necessary. (not always necessary to smash it, but compressions a good idea) the SSL buss compressor on master finds it's way onto every...

Mono mixes are really nice to listen to imo. Smooth. focused, intimate, warm. I'd probably never bounce a mono mix down, but when listening to my stereo mix on a mono speaker it sounds so good to me. I'll switch to mono all throughout my mix, sometimes I forget I'm even in mono....... then when...

individual tracks to hit peaks of -10dbfs, clip gain down or adjust the output of your midi tracks (don't do this on fader), master will normally be fine and will peak around -5dbfs, maybe a bit higher, maybe a bit lower. It really doesn't matter. Your levels are spot on IMO. I always aim to...

I don't have pedals apart from an EQ and do mine in the DAW, if I want to hear it during recording I'll dial in something to play to. I use Delay more than reverb nowadays. I'll blend in a stereo delay, a slap, and a distorted delay. If I am using a reverb aswel it's normally way quiter in...

Sorry to post another thread, I kinda been out of the game for a long time and trying to get back into it so I found myself back here again. I'm curious of you more experienced here have methods of mik'in up a guitar cab. My main question is, if using the 57 as the core mic, find a nice spot...

Hi everyone, I have worked really hard on trying to get this to sound right, I feel that it's "acceptable" but I'd like some critique on how I may be able to improve it further? 2 major flaws with it that I know of "apart from the playing" is that I can't hear the bass very well. and simply...

Hi everyone, I am attempting to cover "Silent Hill - Not Tomorrow" Which can be found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10z1Y5GW-GQ I am using this version of the song to work from. I would "really" like to work on this song until completion, but with heavy critique from anybody here who feels...
