Hi, I am looking into buying a hardware compressor mainly for vocals, and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on what to get. I am looking for something along the cheaper end of the scale and was wondering if there are any hardware comps out there that are decent for a low price...

Ah the good old "turn the singer into someone with a lisp" setting. :) G

Of course I did, but I'm sure he wanted more than a simple yes or no answer. G

Cheers John. G

Yeah I suppose it is. :) There is nothing wrong with being straight up, but you tend to word things a bit too harsh in my opinion. G

You have phase issues between the 2 mics. When setting up your mics monitor them in mono and move them about until you get a full sound taking care to listen to the low end. As the mics go out of phase you will hear the low end dropping away. It's just a matter of taking your time setting up the...

The NT1 is usually pretty good for vocals and acoustic string instruments. It's not that expensive either so good quality for the price. G

Yes that seems like a fine set up, but as mentioned before you need a good source ie good drums to get a good recording. So spend time tuning the kit and use skins that are in good condition, then you can play about with mic placement. I would start with the OHs, set them up so there is no...

Straight to the point, but not very helpfull. G

I am using Wordpress but I can upgrade my account so I can embed scripts and PHP and upload most files etc. Yeah I think I will look into that. Cheers, G

I knew you would like that idea Greg. You do realize this is the Mixing section and not the recording section? And that the OP is looking for a fix at Mixing? Yeah it should be fixed at the source, drums, mics, mic placement, but that's more recording issues. G

That's a bit harsh Greg. G

Yeah this is good. Nice thick low end from the kick and bass. Is the kick a sample? Nice vocals. Good job. G

Recording at 24bit I would say is the norm these days. Compared to 16bit, 24bit recording mean you have much much more bits to work with so you can keep your recording levels lower. I tend to record to around -6dB peak. As for 48kHz sample rate, make sure you stay at 48kHz the whole project...

You could always try an upward expander to lower the bleed. G

Nice one John thanks. My server doesn't let me upload mp3s or M3U, it sucks! G

Bump. G

Does anyone know of any good sites that handle 320kbps MP3 streaming and are free? I am using Soundcloud at the moment which only streams at 128kbps, and I need to stream at 320kbps for my Mixing and Mastering website. Music « Crystal Mixing and Mastering Cheers, G

I tend to use a de-esser and also volume automation to get rid of sibilance. Sometimes volume automation is enough on it's own and sometimes a de-esser is enough, but on tracks with loads of sibilance I tend to use both techniques. G

Dude, calm the beans.
