    How Do My Vocals Sound?!

    Do they sound how you WANT them to sound. That's the only thing that matters. Everything else is subjective criticism whether it's positive or negative.

    Keyboard to DAW correct method

    Now you've confused me. The ONLY link between my Lexicon interface and my Daw is a USB cable. I sing into my mic, which goes through the Lexicon, down the USB cable and prints to audio in the DAW. My son's focusrite works exactly the same way as do dozens of other usb powered Audio Interfaces...

    Understanding EQ

    You answer your own question in some ways. EQing each instrument/voice in isolation (on it's own - possibly soloed) is a good move, to a point. On some things, you can remove unwanted lows and subs, or boominess in an acoustic guitar, or nasty nasal tones in a voice. But if you expect doing that...

    How many people can hear the difference between...

    Don't know if this adds anything. At 65 (and still recording, about to release a new 'album') my hearing has deteriorated to the extent that I am deemed in need of hearing aid in left ear for "marginal" hearing loss. Talking to my "hearing therapist" (aint the NHS wonderful), she claimed that I...

    Should you master a song if you only plan to release it as a single?

    No sir. The LIE was accusing me of being motivated to use the term for profit and ego I do it for myself. I do it as a favour to friends. I don't charge. And just to be very clear: I AM mastering, both singles and albums and I am NOT misusing the term. I'm doing the same as most Mastering...

    Should you master a song if you only plan to release it as a single?

    THat's a plain lie. I use the word mastering because it is what I do. I take the final mix, where the sound has been balanced and set out across a sound stage, and match it to reference tracks and get the LUFS to the appropriate level for the medium the songs are to be published on, and in the...

    Should you master a song if you only plan to release it as a single?

    ROFLMAO. WOw. So you are right in your use of terms and everyone else is wrong? What's it like being "the knowing one"? As Massive M says. "The definition hasn't changed. The delivery medium has." You need to move with the times.

    Should you master a song if you only plan to release it as a single?

    I never mentioned loudness. I know ALL about LUFS, integrated loudness, etc, I've mastered singles and albums that have made US Charts. I'm talking clarity, balance, dynamics, sheen (call it what you will)_ etc all of which CAN be achieved through mixing but are better done in a separate...

    Should you master a song if you only plan to release it as a single?

    Simply wrong, sorry. If you want your mix to stand up against commercial mixes, to be able to run alongside commercial mixes in broadcast media, then mastering IS essential, even for a single song. You mistake the need to get a collection of songs to sit next to one another in an album as the...

    Unfortunate. I've had ProX 4 for months and it's fine.

    the demise of Windows 7

    My history much the same, first version was S9 from a magazine. I picked up pro X4 for £149 a few weeks back, kept getting emails offering it ... seemed too good to turn down.

    the demise of Windows 7

    Yep: I understand about the lack of support for 7. Meantime, I'll just leave this here. "demise /dɪˈmʌɪz/ noun 1. a person's death. "Mr Grisenthwaite's tragic demise" synonyms: death, dying, passing, passing away, passing on, loss of life, expiry, expiration, end, departure from life, final...

    the demise of Windows 7

    Windows 7 won't die. it'll go on running. It just won't get updates after the deadline for it. I don 't fully get your point when taken with the thread title? You sound as though you're expecting W7 computers to stop working when Microsoft withdraws support, and that's not so.

    Studio Monitor question

    Yeah. But I have squeezed a little tighter and am now looking at PreSonus Eris E4.5 4.5-inch, 2-way, High-Definition Active Studio Monitors which get way better reviewws etc.
