.....and what I think it's showing me is....... for example, I was looking at my vocal track, and all the guts of it was between 100Hz and 3000Hz. Out side of this, was just some pussy little faint hardly audible rubbish. So does this mean I can do some FFT notch filtering on other tracks in...

What a volume envelope? Right, that's some great answers there folks, thanks a million. The following is an almost complete novice statement, so please adjust your Television........ :D But wouldn't a little bit of ( individual, as in a suitable style of compression) gain on each track, work...

Here's another one! I tried to make it a seperate post but this forum won't let me. It keeps telling me I've made a duplicate post within 5 minutes, but I haven't. It's a different post and it's been many hours since my last post. Anyhow here tis......... Good RMS on every track? Should I be...

Good!, cause I do it heaps, makes perfect sence to me. Just wasn't sure if there was some hidden wrong in doing it. :o

Is runing along and knocking down a half dozen or so big spikes by hand normal procedure, whether done before compression, after compression(missed spikes), or if not using compression at all.

Many thanks once again SouthSide. Just the stuff I need to hear after weeks of reading articles saying the likes.... you cut X here and you boot Y there. I would read all that stuff, but it just didn't have any "real" meaning to me, yeah.....well, tell me bout it sort of thing. Now I feel...

Right, I've had a bit of play around with a vocal track. What sort of Q band widths are we talking about. Anything below about 10Hz and it is hard to discern much diff, And it's pretty slow going :) At 20 to 50Hz and above I can here lots of diff. I'm not real sure about a "real" sweet spot...

Beautiful!...... Thanks heaps southSide, Just the answer I was looking for. Where would I look to get an idea of where to start looking for the sweet spot. The Freq analyzer looks much the same shape no matter what I look at. Vocal, rhythm guitar, bass....it all kinda looks the same. Or do I...

Here is a link to great article, on reducing a Frequency volume, of say a Guitar, at the same spot where, say the singing mainly sits, so they don't mask each other out. http://www.homerecordingconnection.com/news.php?action=view_story&id=154 Here is the statement from that article I don't...

Just made my first song with CEP 2.1, after using Cubasis with came with my Tascam 122. I think CEP is absoulutely wonderful. I realise Cubasis is pretty lame compared to it's bigger cousins. I found transparency between recording and editing just fantastic with CEP. Anyhow Sonar 4 is...

I have just tried recording with Cool Edit Pro 2.1, to do some 24 bit recording after using the bundled 16 bit Cubasis. There is no ASIO option in CEP to change it to 24 bit like withCubasis. It says resolution 16 bit in the Tascam control panel. How can I make it go to 24 bit? Also CEP has no...

Yep, think I'll agree with Glen also. I think those 3 paragraphs make a pretty good general statement on the subject. Would you work on each individual track, or say use compression on the drums and bass together. I am aware of the need to leave some room for Mastering.

Thanks folks, some real revealing facts there. Yeah scrubs, I am going to try Cool Edit Pro 2.1 for my next song. Is it possible for me to find out what my floor noise and Instrument/Guitar dynamic range is.? The US-122 is as quite as a mouse. I here absolutely nothing from it with...

Should compression be used while actually recording, or done as an edit after recording?

I am using Cubasis which came bundled with a Tascam US-122. It says that when recording you should get as close to 0db as you can without going into the red. I mean.... Come on!, what's a measly 1 or 2 db's below zero matter between friends. :confused:

Yeah, they're a great little unit. I have had mine for about a year now.

Yeah, got it all sorted out now. Thanks

Good, thanks mshilarious. It's time for bed now, but I will be having a big ponder on your last statement,...and..... I WILL BE BACK!!!... :p

So is this an incorrect statement... "In fact the sound would have to get 20dB over the threshold before the compressor lets even 1dB more out." .....Isn't this saying you "need" to get over the threshold, by a db value greater than the ratio number, 2, 4, 20 or whatever, to let anything...
