why not
stems give the master engineer more flexibility to fix things
especially when some home recording guy does the mixes instead of an experienced mix engineer and hands over a terrible stereo track where the damage can't be undone.
you can always make a maximum level master that is good...
answer
you said the drum peaks were holding down the level of the other instruments. if you compress them and amplify them first you can make them a lot louder in the mix. you could just lower the drum track but you might get more noise that way.
normalise - i use that to mean raise the...
first dont blame audacity for the limitations of physics and acoustics. you wont find any program that fixes that problem for you.
second
tell us enough to know what your problem really is
describe all the equipment in detail, how it is connected, and how you are using it. then describe...
illogical assumption
what makes you think that i dont know what the math is ??
i have read several detailed papers from AES symposium with plenty of math.
what i do not understand is how to translate the math to a physical microphone instantiation.
like the guy at the photo club who...
ymmv
I tend to record very dry, with similar set up each time.
But use what fx you need to get a good recording. And no more.
Make necessary tweaks in the mix. You can add whatever you want to get a certain sound here. Mix to *stems* and leave room so the master step can get you what...
i feel your pain
actually the spanish would be a bit different
you can buy an all in one DAW and maybe a few addons if you have special needs that cant do. or you can get a whole bunch of free/cheap programs and spend more time manually controlling the work flow.
roxio or nero may burn...
try this
links not handy -- so google for "stem mastering"
you can find some good info on how to master at a couple of sites
have you compressed all your tracks before mixing?
that should keep the hot drums from pushing everything else down after mixing.
did you normalise everything to...
continuing
cubase le will be a good starter program
you can buy more software later when you know what you need and WHY you need it.
easier for sure, and i think you may find the quality better too.
at least easier to undo and start over than when you do it all on the hd16.
i do not...
thanks but ...
thanks for the offer
actually i like it simple but complete and accurate and on point not some side issue
the math i understand
its the practical building of a mike that i do not get yet
what i don't understand is how they build the thing to accomplish (or close enough)...
you get what you buy
why is it so expensive?
molded plastic case
some connectors
integrated circuits for preamps
couple cheap electret capsules
spaced apart so you may have comb filtering on "stereo"
they are making a bundle on this thing
probably only 10-30$$ of parts in it in the...
what brass
i consider the horns to be brass
the others are wind (oboe, sax, recorder, flute, diggeradoo, )
although you do blow through everything i guess except strings and drums.
so how do they do that ?
thanks. i would never have guessed that.
i can see on paper how to get the various patterns by themselves eg omni and figure 8, but how they combine those to cardioid, super, hyper, etc. is a big mystery.
and dont pay no never mind to shotgun mike patterns
hmm......
if it sounds good on hd16 and bad after you master it on the pc then either the hd playback is poor and hides problems or you are messing it up with your mastering efforts
if you are mastering on the hd then that thing is the problem
plus doing it on a pc would be so much easier...
read a book
there are good books on copyright
read them
there are lawyer based IP websites
check them out
from what you said
which may or may not be accurate and correct
you do NOT have the rights you need to do that
and that is my amateur opinion not a legal one that you should rely on...
