    What does "boxy" mean?

    I like "whoompy", might just have to use that one. Perfect for a kick drum

    You won't get any response about your mix unless you post it in the mp3 mixing clinic. I'd listen but I'm at work

    Singer/Songwriter and local gigs - where to start?

    Sometimes its a good idea to add a setlist if you plan to play at bars. Usually you will need to fill from about three to four hours. A picture is good but not really necessary for a small bar or gig. The best way to get a gig is to go on a night when they have entertainment and shake some...

    Why Not Start Your own record company?

    I work at a personals service. My job is to approve the singles ads. Almost everyday I hear some jackass who goes babbling on about their record label and how they own a record company, please. It seems that a lot of folks have the "ability" to start their own record label, especially...

    How much is too much?

    Thanx for the advice! I went back and did a few new mixes. It sure worked a lot better when I cleared out the mud first. I then realized that what I though needed brightening was being washed out by other freqs. The best advice yet! I am not having the record professionally mastered so I am...

    my computer monitor shakes when playing guitar

    Well degauss might help your green and pink screen. And magets in speakers will pull the color out of a tv or monitor. Always keep speakers far away. As for the monitor shaking. Mine does that too and yes it is a flat screen. I think it is safe to say that it's not a good thing. Even if your...

    Newbie Monitor Question

    yeah it's possible, but I don't know if I would use the stereo as a preamp. If that is the plan. After I burn a disc, I try not to use my Aiwa stereo to compare my mix to a commercial cd because it really boosts the hell out of the bass, when on other systems it sounds fine. Donno, but I just...

    How much is too much?

    right, I get that But where are you boosting or cutting from? Just the eq or the entire track? If it works in direct relation... How do you know how much khz and gain = db's Are you wathcing the overall track level for the adjustment? sorry, it's hard to explain

    How much is too much?

    ok thanks for the advice. I am definately trianing my ear to hear all those freqs out there. hehe. When you say that you bring the highs down to -5db or up 4db what are you basing these numbers on? I have a 4 band eq and I have khz and gain to work with... oh yeah and Q. Where are you getting...

    How much is too much?

    I have really been concentrating on brightening up my mixes up with eq. Particularly hi freqs.When do you add eq to really brighten up the sound? Mainly speaking about higher freqs. Is it best to add the bright highs in the mix or leave some headroom on the high freqs for eq in the mastering...

    Pro Tools Question

    This is not so much a mixing question but an edit question. I thought this would be the best place to post since there is no Pro Tools section of the site. (hint hint) I have done something to my editing capabilities recently and I don't know how to get back to the way things were. At one time...
