    Best mastering plugins?

    webstop... freefilter works as such ... Say you're in your audio software ... step 1 - import a track of the band you want to sound like. step 2- import your work (assuming that you did a mixdown of your stuff into a stereo track ..after all it's mastering time!) step 3: mute your track...

    antares mic modeller

    well.. the background computer noise already mucks things up. The mixing sessions squeeze so much juice out of my lowly 1GHz that I needed to overclock it and get a louder fan. (I use this trick that i recently learned that involves cloning each track, compressing the characteristic...

    antares mic modeller

    well? The Antares Mic Modeller. Is it worth the bytes it's stored on? Does anybody have experience with it? Should I shell out the bucks for it, or should I bend over and risk it all on a SINGLE expensive vocal microphone? My monthly budget is in the low hundreads of dollars.. very low...

    Best mastering plugins?

    C4! The use of the Waves C4 (even with the steinberg presets) in conjunction with freefilter, the simple to use TL EQ1 and ME Spectralizer is what does it for me. That and a loudness maximizer. The main output chain: 1- TL EQ (basic eqing to get some roughness out of there) 2- freefilter...

    she screamed this time...

    The reverb, albeit quite wet, gives you that sense of introspection ... what would a person in her shoes feel like after a betrayal of that grandeur? ... the verb was a bit much for my taste but it did a fantastic job. The hard panned delay for the lyrics " .. he is trully the messiah ."...

    sonar xl mixer?

    nope. no need for a mixer... but if your soundcard only has a stereo input .. then you're screwed. Either upgrade the card to motu or midiman .. or take it one track at a time.

    Orange on a toothpick

    Get Bjork to sing it! (Not that the singer is bad .. she's actually quite good.) I like the transition at around 1:46. What software/hardware are you using for the synth? Great effect. The mix is damn good in my humble newbie opinion. The transition at around 4:08 is a good groove. Great work.

    Please, a few more tunes submitted for your opinions.

    Better Place The mixing is awesome. Everything's well placed. Phase thing with the drums?? .. They just don't jump out and kick you in the face. Do you use lots of stereo expansion? Super Star Great tune. Up the rythm guitar perhaps a tad? Great harmonies. Wonderful Today. .. yeah it's...

    How about this...cleaned it up a little

    great tune! The vocals are right in your face ... they have a live feel to em. sounds like this was recorded in a big big room. perhaps just a tad too much overall reverb?? .. ah .. who knows.

    How about this...cleaned it up a little

    i think the lack of replies to this post despite the relatively high number of views is an indication that this is perhaps not the forum for this topic. Try the mp3 mixing forum. As soon as you put it there .. you'll get lots of good feedback you'll see. You'll get feedback on the mix/mastering.

    Laptop Recording

    hopefully a system with 256M RAM +++ and a midiman soundcard??

    Wah wah a go go!

    God I've seen lots of good tunes come out of this site. Hell not too long ago a gentleman posted a link to a video he created in a 3d editor that went along with his tune. Was about a bunch of vegetables dancing around. Anyways, what I'm trying to say here is that I love the tune. The mix...

    engineer ears out there

    god i wish i was an engineer then i could actually say something smarter than: "Man I love your stuff. Sounds great! It's got definite replay factor. Acoustic sounds 'mah-velous' Very nice! I would do anything to have my acoustic stuff sound so good." Sorry. I'm just a newbie.

    mellowin out

    well i was kind of at a loss musically when i laid down the tracks for this thing... but turns out it's gonna serve very well for a 6 minute epic/instrumental prog tune i'm working on.... it's in the same mode...but there's a key shift in the middle .. blah blah .. You see, i force myself to...

    mp3 encoders

    been using WAV2MP3 (FREE) .. until the very latest version, it supported many sample rates.. now it's been crippled. If you can get your hands on an older version you're all set. Now .. i just got Steinberg Wavelabs! It can do all the standard bit rates and has support for variable bit rate...

    I think you'll like this one

    awesome tune. i like the panning phaser/synth thing. at around 3:17 i beleive .. it starts clipping? .. i hear a crackle in the mix for the rest of the tune. nice guitar sound .. very industrial feel. I like all your work. .. makes want to mildly headbang. keep it up.
