Okay, this is kind of a complicated question guys, so bear with me. I've been using CEP for quite a while (since 1.2, actually) and got 2.0 this summer. I've had good times with it and everything, and the real time effects was the thing really needed to make it a competitive product. My problem...

also, try to make the signal chain different, and use different effects on the second recording, so that there's more of a disparity between the two.

well, you don't have to buy anything else just yet..... there should be a line in on the soundblaster card, my old card had one.

Re: Compression,I have trouble with that.DO I need it? this might not have anything to do with fattening it up, but I can tell you one thing right off the bat....... do NOT use the mic in on the soundblaster card to transfer the data from the VS840.... no good can come from reamplifying a...

Terry Date's premeir piece (IMO) is White Pony by the Deftones. Bottrill has done quite a few various acts, but the one I know him best for is Remy Zero's "Villa Elaine".

a good mix of sound quality AND sound rejection would be the Sennheiser HD 280 pros. I've had a pair since just before Christmas, and they're great.

sure, what the hell. send me an e-mail and a way to get your individual tracks (as .wav of course, NOT .mp3) and I'll see what I can do.

using the vocal limiter preset on cool edit's compression is a bad choice, IMO. it makes EVERYTHING the same volume, so that's the main reason you're hearing the breaths so much. if it's possible, you should really use a different compressor plug-in. the CEP one is serviceable, at best.

a big rule for ANY instrument in a mix.. if it sounds great soloed, it probably sounds like shit when you bring in all the other instruments.

well, if they all stay lit up, that's certainly a problem. perhaps a pin-wiring problem? I'm not really all that good with electronics. :(

I heard they make a great centerpiece. The green really evens out your room's feng shui.

as an addendum, I think it's safe to mention that you should always have your monitors be the last thing you turn on..... turning on gear is loud.

that's perfectly normal, happens to mine everytime. It's just the unit turning on, like when a car turns on its "check engine soon" light when you first start it.

I will say that a 2 ms attack and 50 ms release on a mastering compressor will REALLY compress the mix a little noticeably...... I never go below 40 ms attack when I run a compressor on the 2-track, and 400 ms is about baseline for me.

Re: hmmm perhaps on their second album, We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes (which on the first song alone has a nice balance of dynamics), but their last one, The Photo Album, is limited pretty much the entire way through.

Bowie - Heathen Peter Gabriel - Up (mixed by Tchad Blake, ahhh goodness) Phantom Planet - The Guest (produced by Tchad Blake and Mitchell Froom.... these guys have never done wrong) Sade - Love Deluxe (okay, so it's from 1992, but I just bought it the other week cause they've remastered them...

I'm sure someone else here can tell you the specifics on sound wave physics and what not, but basically it boils down to this.... It takes far more power to produce -5 db of 80 hz energy than it does to produce, say, -5 db of 5khz energy. If you have guitars in the mix that are playing low...

really? that sounds interesting.... I never heard of that. I know they remastered "1" in 24/96k, but still kept the crazy stereo shit..... Personally, I've always HATED having the drums on one side.. Everything just every which way. It gets a little disorienting.

this is what I've always wondered. If they were intended to be mono mixes, but were MASTERED in stereo instead, then how come no one has ever just gone back and remastered them to how they were supposed to be?

a big part in getting it louder is making its APPARENT loudness higher. Any parts (electric guitars, acoustic guitars, vocals, keyboards, etc.) that don't need low frequency information should be high-passed. You're probably accumulating a ton of lows from all the different instruments, and that...
