Re: Re: d) None of the above do you guys listen to much "emo"? man, talk about compression being essential.....

oh sure, now I'M the bad cop...... :mad: ;)

I may be wrong guys, but perhaps 706 is .wav? it seems that whenever I play .wav files in winamp, the kpbs window says 706......

oh crap, I completely forgot about eq!!!! I'm so ashamed of myself..... :( on both echo and reverb, I usually start rolling stuff off at 4-5k.... so that would help with the sibilance thing...

downside..... maybe I should have explained myself a bit more.... compression during tracking never really was a big thing for me (the occasional joemeek track notwithstanding)..... a peak on a compressor is still going to clip the input, as the compressor hasn't attacked it yet..... I don't...

.................................................... speechless, heylow........... speechless.

is the vocal compressed yet? it could be that all the "sssss" are just louder than the rest of the track, so the delay is getting inherently more input from them than the rest of the vocal....

in the recording stage? I'd have to go with LIMITING, which I think is far more effective when you're recording digitally than compressing......

that's messed up chess...... no need to exploit the guy's vulnerability........ ;)

I would go for an audio buddy ($79) or if they have one, a DMP3 (around $150, I believe)..... these are both great little no-frills two channel preamps made by M-Audio.....

wow.... you're right...... I knew there was something wrong with this Sony stereo of mine..... :(

no problem man....... in case you didn't quite notice, I heartily reccomend the JoeMeek line...... great channel strips..... for the price, you get a great preamp and compressor and eq..... so I would definitely go for a meek and an RNC....... two completely different units, two completely...

M.Que....... I would go with the RNC, as it is a much less colored compressor and will do a great job on pretty much everything..... also, it abides by the standard operation of compressors, so you don't really have to fool with it too much.... the meek, on the other hand, is a beast unto its...

why do you listen to mp3's through it???? you don't have a little home stereo with aux inputs or anything?

so, in conclusion dmstilo (in case you're even reading this thread anymore), here is a basic chronological timeline of recording events: tracking (recording) -> mixing -> mastering the earlier in the chain you get your sound the way you want it, the better the album will be. it will also be a...

+20???????? SCHWAAAAAAAAAAA???????????????? :confused:

in fact, it's even better to get the sound as close to what you want as possible in the tracking stage, and then as a last resort, "fix it in the mix".

eq and effects on individual tracks are mixing's forte. if you wait till mastering, you'll be applying those effects to EVERYTHING, as mastering involves a 2-channel mix.

in programs like cubase, the plugin is usually VST-based and works realtime...... the plugin can either be applied to individual tracks, or strapped across the send/return bus on the cubase mixer... programs like cool edit, on the other hand (of which I am a proud user of) use after-the-fact...
