    Buried Snare in Mastering

    I'm going to look into those other Limiters that were suggested and also read that other post. About to goto bed however so I'll post on this again tomorrow. I'm starting to understand a little more about the whole topic, but still trying to find the proper fix without compromising sound...

    Dean Hardtail

    Anyone have one of these? I really enjoy the guitar except I will now have to replace most the silver parts since I didn't really take as well care of them as I should have. The input jack kinda corroded or something, and green stuff is all over a lot of the electronics and bridge. This is...

    Vocal Recording: 1 take vs. punch-ins?

    What I do with my singer is work section by section. Lets say we are working on the verse: I will have him sing the whole verse (or if the verse is cut in half due to volume and tone differences then he'll sing the first half). Then if there is only like one noticable error we will correct it...

    Buried Snare in Mastering

    Well plain and simple... The band wants it loud to compare to other stuff so other people will think they are as good as that "other stuff" since that is just the way things are right now you know? (weather it is right or wrong) On another note... Anyone know of any good vst plugins that will...

    Buried Snare in Mastering

    Interesting suggestion Masteringhouse... I don't think it was a Multiband Compression issue at all since I barely touched that however I did think It might be something that could be fixed by Multiband compression. Maybe in the mix I should compress the initial attack so the dynamic part of it...

    Buried Snare in Mastering

    I always get some really great mixes going on during mix down but when it comes to the mastering process I find that when I get to the final hard limiting type process (using Waves L2) I loose my snare to the background and the overall reverb levels come way up. In the past I've always just gone...

    Need More Inputs for Recording - What Should I Do?

    Heh... $1 won't even start to help me buy another interface ;) I still need it for the inputs at the moment! I have a improv band coming in today as a matter of fact and they will take 16 inputs. Charlie

    Pls critique my mix...

    I'm listening to in headphones at the moment.. This second mix is slightly more pleasing however not as loud. Snare is much better sounding IMO. I have noticed in both that in some parts the guitars don't sync with each other.

    New Emo/Screamo/'Post Hardcore' song I recorded

    My message that I'm typing is based on listening to in some really nice headphones. Unfortunetly I'm not at my normal computer at the moment. The snare sounds pretty far back almost like it is taken from overheads instead of a seperate mic? The vocals seem a little loud for the style. Kick is...

    Why do Mp3 uploads suck when played back?

    Makes your mix sound that much better in the long run then ;)

    Radio Rock / Alternative Metal

    Distortion is Mesa Triple Rect. I could see why some people would dislike the attack on the kick. As far as getting that sound. I used an AKG D112 on the inside and a Beta52 on the hole. Some eq on an Allen & Heath mixer along with an insert on a DBX 32band eq. After that I gated it, then...

    Need More Inputs for Recording - What Should I Do?

    Firepod 1010 Delta 44 (or 66... which ever one has that outbox with 4 trs... don't even remember anymore) Audiophile 2496 or whatever that thing is But yeah I don't even use the 44 anymore, the 2496 is purely to keep the 1010 in sync with the firepod now except i'll be using it for outputs for...

    Need More Inputs for Recording - What Should I Do?

    I don't know about your money situation at the moment but I'd have to agree that buying another Firepod all together would be better for now and in the long run. I have an MAudio 1010 (which was a mistake...) and a Firepod working together with to other Maudio sound cards all wordclocked and...

    Why do Mp3 uploads suck when played back?

    I actually found that PureVolumes current player doesn't sound all that bad when listening to it for background music purposes in headphones while doing some intensive college school work ;)

    Overdoing the old exciter

    I actually do like using an exciter on the Bass guitar for a more well rounded out sound in the "in your face" rock type mixing. Not sure what genre you are doing though... Anything else however i found that outboard mixers brighten better than software mixers.

    Why do Mp3 uploads suck when played back?

    The average user doesn't notice enough difference to care, especially since they normally hear their music from the radio first ;) (and not that new HD radio either) If its music that they can hear for free at a decently noticable quality that is all an average listener will care about at the...

    Lexicon MPX 100?

    I have the MX-200... Cheap in price but it definently works. Has some good effects and things in it that I've been able to play around with. I think I used it also for some studio sounding reverbs for a recent recording and It sounded better than plugins. I just like having the knobs to play...

    Simple. Your Favourite vocal mic.

    I can't really say a favorite because I haven't gone out and tested all the popular ones. But what I can say is that I own the Groove Tubes GE-55 and it has always worked for me for what I needed in vocals. Vocals have always been up front, warm and anything else. I actually recently recorded a...

    Radio Rock / Alternative Metal

    Yeah that low end is intentional. It is to accenuate all the instruments coming in with the scream. That sound is actually a floor tom that I pitch shifted and then pitch shifted again on a curve for that record slowing down effect after a time stretch and then of course a lot of EQ and an Audio...

    Radio Rock / Alternative Metal

    Thanks :) I think my biggest problem ever has been muddiness in my mixes and I might put the bass a little loud. I think it is due to my current monitoring situation though. I just use the 5.1 Logitech system on stereo mode with the 8 inch sub and bigger speakers. I've been looking heavily into...
