    Mixing 80's Style Rocker....

    Since I didn't mention, love the vocals man! You remind me of someone... Oh, and I would add the same small plate verb that you do to the snare to the toms. Same vibe. Not sure what you are using, but the Soundoys Little Plate is my go-to for things like this. It was free for me, but likely...

    Mixing 80's Style Rocker....

    Ok, let me try. Turn your monitors way down. Like till you can barely hear them. What do you here? I hear a typewriter kind of click there on the snare. Like 5-6k? That is the frequency I would address. Also the same thing with the kick, but that is more like a 2k thing. The low volume shows...

    Mixing 80's Style Rocker....

    Now we are into personal preference. :) The snare is too loud now. So not sure it isn't more about placement and some plate verb now. Kick and snare are the first things you hear cutting through when volume turned way down. That is the test for me. It shows what is coming through. The snare...

    Mixing 80's Style Rocker....

    Dig the tune! My only nit would be the snare sample. Or at least the way it's treated. Seems too thin for the mix. Its sounds like a snare drum being hit really soft so it is mostly the snares you hear and not the body. Hope that made sense.

    No Sound!

    Yes, anyone that wants quality recordings must have an audio interface. Nobody will ever give you advice that does not say that. Internal/onboard sound is sketchy at best. Even the ones that claim to be better, are not even close to ideal.

    Where Should I Put My Studio Desk?

    Does anyone actually 'bite' at the bot leads? I guess I just think/hope humans have more integrity and wit about them. Oh, but then who is 'them or they' anymore? Ugh.

    Cubase 12 and terrible Steinberg support.

    I wonder if Steinbeg support is different in other countries. I had a support ticket in regards to C12 upgrade grace period that was responded to 3 times over the course of 24 hours. It was actually my fault in not using the right 'manager' program to get C12 working. It was my misreading I...

    Been here before

    I think we will get along. I have no clue about protools and your gear, so sorry if I haven't been any help. Seems I am here as a support animal lately anyway unless you use Cubase so... Again, welcome back! 8-)

    Already leaving? Why? It's a different forum now than back then for sure. :eatpopcorn:

    No Sound!

    I am not familiar with Ableton specifically, but you just need to somewhere in the particular software/DAW, select the input device (MIDI) and then tell whatever VSTI you are using where to find the information. It may likely be an input track that you haven't 'armed' to record. It depends upon...

    Questions about signal ratio, audio interfaces and garageband...

    Just to add a bit here, your input levels on the interface/preamp, you do want to have adequate signal going in. With any preamp, the theory is that you do want the most signal in for the preamp before clipping and distortion. If you are increasing the gain of a weak preamp to compensate for a...

    How to correctly connect balanced XLR to unbalanced stereo AUX on headphones amp

    Nope, it was more for hum elimination now that I think about it. Behri Hum Destroyer I had similar noise from computer in an early setup between two computers input through a monitor controller. Balanced cables solve it. But if you don't have the ability, I bet the guys above are giving the...

    How to correctly connect balanced XLR to unbalanced stereo AUX on headphones amp

    Behringer makes such a box. I used it all the time between my PA sytem and separate mixer for cranking stuff up. Worked great! I gotta find it to show you exactly, but it is something like a 'noise eliminator'. I'll be back.

    Avocet Crane Song ii Monitoring Controller - Is it worth it?

    What is your budget, and what are you monitoring with in your home studio? I ask, because I would surely place that much money on the before mentioned before spending the funds on simple switching...

    One track alters the other with audio warp! why??

    If you can't find an option in Preferences, then you may need to trash them so Cubase creates the default set. There is one in Editing>Audio>On Processing Shared Clips that might do the trick. Not sure though. Good luck!

    Need help fixing some tracks...

    As far as I know, tape emulation plugs add distortion. Whatever that means. If you are feeling there is harshness with the vocal, then take those back or out and see what results. Funny thing I have learned over the years, is that less is more....

    Need help fixing some tracks...

    Yeah, I don't think I have ever used a plugin other than a compressor twice in any chain ever. One could only assume there could be some conflicting artifacts by doing so. I get what the OP is saying, but all I hear is that something aint right. Can't put my finger on it though other than the...

    Need help fixing some tracks...

    I don't hear anything that should cause headaches, that is likely just you being over critical of your own voice. I do hear an imbalance. Vocals in my opinion are too loud without a bit of air (verb) to place them smoothly in the mix. With them coming down, the next thing I would address is...
