    Mixing Question: Problems getting healthy dynamics range, re: vocals

    Hi Tesgin... Its a good thing Miroslav asked you to post that mix. I was about to do the same until I saw you had already linked to it. First of all, we need to completely forget about any articles you've read on the topic of LUFS or dynamic range for a little bit. None of it applies to this...

    delay to widen

    As others implied (by suggesting you check it in mono), there is more to making this technique work than that. A good youtube search will go a long way.

    Is anyone highly familiar with equalizers? I have a few questions on how one works

    I'm throwing in the towel on this whole thing. Had a quick chat with the director of sound engineering at Park Road Studios. He talked me out of it. And he's not the only major name engineer who has insisted that EQ's shouldn't ever be used while tracking. He's totally right. I've never thought...

    Is anyone highly familiar with equalizers? I have a few questions on how one works

    Ok...received a couple responses late last night from PRW. In addition to what Rob mentioned (for which I am grateful), this also helped me a little bit if anyone was curious :) A couple questions....need help with a high end EQ unit... - PRW

    Is anyone highly familiar with equalizers? I have a few questions on how one works

    Sample craze, someone does not simply demo a $6000 equalizer, especially a highly specialized uncommon one. And tech data can help you weed out high end units that are NOT right for you.

    Is anyone highly familiar with equalizers? I have a few questions on how one works

    In my case, the EQ that 'sounds' appropriate is the one that has a hell of a lot of design work put into minimizing artifacts and can make extremely subtle moves to a wide variety of actors. It will only be used in ADR, narration, and animation VO and will never used to color voices. This field...

    Hi Rob! That helps a ton...thanks for breaking that down a bit. I did take the time to look over what you wrote carefully.

    Is anyone highly familiar with equalizers? I have a few questions on how one works

    Thought I'd reach out and see if there happens to be any lurkers here who have an in-depth knowledge of EQ's. I've reached out on several other forums and gotten zero help. ...I've been eyeballing some hardware units to try and get a super immaculate sounding hardware unit that can be used in...

    How do you cheat?

    Thanks man. We did ok here ;) Here's another 'cheater' tool from Waves. Its their 'automixer'. Literally mixes an entire session for you. Its expensive, but its ridiculously fast and efficient. It has a several second 'lookahead' and adjusts itself according to a priority hierarchy you define...

    How do you cheat?

    I don't use this feature for music, but its a tremendous time saver when field recording. Say you have 3 mics on an actor. A boom, a lapel, and an ambience mic. He reads two lines. You use the first line from the lapel and it sounds fine. But during the second line his clothing rubbed against...

    How do you cheat?

    I use automixing functions and AI algorithms for EQ matching. I also use visual readouts religiously. On top of that, I'm not embarrassed to say I pull out gimmicky plugins like Waves One Knobers and the JJP vocal processor if I think it'll get the job done. I really don't care how cheesy that...

    Waves Wlm plus

    Who cares if you have overs?? Those should only be relative to your long term aggregated target. Don't worry about them. If you're shooting for 18 and achieving 18 long term, what difference does it make? I don't know how this stuff works in music. In film and video games there's quite a bit of...

    Studio One vs Other DAWs...initial thoughts from my first few days

    The answer is because of what Pro Tools does that S1 can not. If you're genuinely curious, I touched on some of this in the "What is the best daw for recording" thread, but I'll save you the trouble of having to go back and weed through the pages of posts on this thread. While both are a great...

    Using a hardware reverb for headphone vocal monitoring

    Once again, I don't mean ANY disrespect to others that are taking the time to offer advice. I'm quite certain that many of these suggestions are based on the assumption that Beemer is not willing to take the time learn the Audient patching system. I don't feel there is a good reason to add an...

    Using a hardware reverb for headphone vocal monitoring

    If you follow the method I recommend above, it will address this issue as well. When your effects loop (as I articulated above) is complete, you will have a completely wet signal that is returned to Reaper from the Alesis. But you now have achieved total control over the BLEND of that wet...

    Using a hardware reverb for headphone vocal monitoring

    Ian, my response here may seem a bit technical but if you take the time to read it carefully, there's some ideas here that I think could really help you grow in your understanding of how your system works. I respectfully disagree with Fairviews idea of using a small mixer. I think its best to...

    Cymbal tamers

    I did a session with multi Grammy winner Craig Bauer in Nashville a few months ago. We had this problem with the Gretsch kit we used in the live room. Here's how he dealt with it: Once his parallel compression was set on the drum bus I was surprised when he took the time to go into the track and...

    Studio One vs Other DAWs...initial thoughts from my first few days

    I feel like I'm pretty decent at troubleshooting my own workflow stuff. I was able to get just about all of my question answered through documentation, youtube, and Groove 3 without spending any additional cash on tutorials. And I think that says a LOT about the user friendliness of the program...
