    how do i get that major label sound?

    I agree with ronan and mix&master.... hire a person to help you make a sound. I have had alot of luck recently hiring ears and talent. I opened up my favorite indie and major label CD's and tracked down producers/mixing engineers that I like, fly or drive them in and rent great studios on cheap...

    Vibraslap

    the vibraslap is a foundational instrument for the band CAKE. When they play live the singer has one in hand for atleast half the show. It is featured on almost every song! I tracked a band last week that spend a good 1/2 hour in the booth hitting one of those things.... good times

    mastering vox up 1db?

    I just finished an initial mix on 16 songs for my largest and most elaborate project yet. I really value the man I hired to do the mix and love his previous work & i trust him. He is going to come down one more time to just tidy up some of the mixes and bounce them for mastering (from pro tools...

    I was paid NS 10's for a job

    i was afraid i would be opening up this same old tired issue. i know they sound like crap. The fact remains that many guys still use them and they all say the same thing - if you can add some low end and put some good power to them thay will do the job. i plan on using them as a reference when i...
