Amen!

But...if people don’t use boom boxes anymore, there is no need. I am Well aware that I can’t mix on an iPhone, but I still don’t want it to sound bad when people listen to it the way they tend to. That is the reason I spend 4-5.000 USD on my monitors alone. I view them as the bygone NS10...

I’ve been in the business since the middle of the 90’s, so I hear you. Times have changed.

I don’t know where to start. You vlearly haven’t tried to work with chinese manufacturing Industry. They, simply put, have a different manufacturing method if you will. They will work a given assignement and try to make it as costeffective as possible. They will have lower cost playing their...

I must admit, that I do not find this to be an issue. I believe that the issue starts in your general listening environment - your room acoustics and your monitors - and, let's face it, maybe your mixing skills. If I am happy with a mix, it will generallt sound fine on my phone - and I WILL...

This is exactly one of the issues that could be fixed, without degrading the mix (on a reasonable monitoring system). Adding a bit of harmonic distortion to the burried bass, can often solve issues like this.

I don't know why we are discussing this. I think we agree.

I have yet to make adjustments to a mix after reference listening through an iPhone, but I must stress that I just want my mixes to translate well on anything they are played on. An iPhone will by no means be the ideal play back environment, but I have no plan on stopping doing this. I am...

I will not compare it to anything. I jut want to make sure, that what I have been spending hours on polishing in the control room (no pun intended) will translate to whatever people tend to use as playback device. I use Focal Twin monitors in a controlled environment - an iPhone is by NO means...

True that, but the issue is, that said microprocessor was insanely expensive to develop, but the fact that they could produce and sell 200 million units afterwards, drastically decreased the cost per unit. There will not be a lot of 1.2" microphone capsules produced - since nobody needs a lot of...

You should try to reference check your mix on the speaker of an iPhone. It's kinda sad, but that's how it will be played 70% of the time. If it sounds unbalanced on an iPhone - back to work ?

Hmm... The thing is that an recorded acoustic guitar can have many different roles and it can sound in a thousand different ways - and still sound good. Even one recording can sound bad, but sit perfectly in the mix - and vice versa. There is really no way to say what is best and what is worst...

I'd suggest you try a DIY forum. I am sure that there will be plenty of help to get there :-)

This is definitely worth a repost. Do this, and you're well on your way!

There are many possible solutions to that issue; - Use a different mic for the solo track. If you don't, you'll have the same sonic characteristics on both the rhythm- and the lead guitar - and they'll be struggling for the space. - High and low pass the solo rack as much you can without...

the only thing I can think of would make a difference, is the input impedance of the two interfaces (Loudbox vs. interface input). Which one would do the best job only you can tell ;-)

The very simple, and true, answer would be; no, you will never get zero noise anywhere. The thing is, that everytime you isolate to diminish the noise, you'll just lower the noisefloor by x dB. And since "Zero noise" would mean -∞ dB, you'll technically never get there. You could get closer, of...

SPOT ON. And yes, as someone mentioned in an earlier post, SM58’s has seen use for vocals in million dollar studios, but then again; so has U47’s. I can fix anything with a Phillips screwdriver, a small hammer and a wood saw, but even though it might not look any better, it sure as hell would...

I do. Price and quality has a tendency to follow eachother, however - that does not mean that a cheap mic can’t be good for certain things. Not at all. There are a lot of great mics that fits on a tight budget. But there sure as hell are more of the cheap (say sub $100-200) that are close to...

Yes I have. I have two myself and use them all the time on guitar cabs and actually often on vocals aswell.
