    Stuck on this mix. Melodic hard rock ep

    But yea, that low end rumbling is frustrating... There is a high pass at around 75hz on all guitar tracks and 50 on all drums minus the kick, which is cut at 30hz the same as the bass. It seems like I may need some multi band compressing on the bass? It is already side chained with the kick...

    Stuck on this mix. Melodic hard rock ep

    Cool, thank for your input. There is no reverb on the drums or master as such, only a distant room mic... But dialling this back looses the feel we like in the recordings.. Maybe I could do something to treat that track. I have already nudged it back a little as it was VERY spacey. I will try...

    Stuck on this mix. Melodic hard rock ep

    I posted another track from this ep a long while ago and ever since they have been burning a hole in my hard drive �� . I feel this track is at the point of needing a few tweaks, maybe to tame a few shouty frequencies. I feel I am getting lost in my monitoring situation as I had the luxury of...

    Wimdows 10, diving in.

    Reading through this has reinforced my decision to stick with 7 until I have no choice. It took me long enough to get my modded emu 1820 pci system working glitch free on windows 7!

    Let's see what you do with this original rock song, 10 tracks

    Hi, thanks for uploading. I had a quick play with this earlier on. I didn't do much in the way of automation effects etc... Mainly just got the drums beating a little harder. I felt the mandolin was the driving force in the song so made that quite obvious.. I think?! Anyway have a listen and...

    Flight of Malibu - Live mix - need help with vox processing

    I can definitely hear the pitch work you mentioned, makes it sound like she is slowing down. Is it really that out on the first lines? It may be that you are focusing on it too much therefore it's more obvious to you? Ben

    Mixing a live show... using a daw.

    Hi. No recording will be taking place at all. It I just to live mix the show, there will be 7 bands in total. I tried this method on Sunday night at my local venue for an open mic night. I put the cpu 'inserts' on vocals and acoustic guitars and it worked flawlessly, it was mainly reverb...

    Mixing a live show... using a daw.

    Ah good to hear from someone reliant upon computers in the live arena. I have an ac conditioner which could be very useful for preventing what you have just mentioned... Its always the damn bassist!

    Mixing a live show... using a daw.

    Ok, I see what you are saying there and completely understand. I have a Tc electronics M-one dual effects unit that I may use as my main reverb for lead vox. I have one band who I am very familiar with, who have 2 main vox,a synth and a keyboard which he always wants mountains of reverb on. So...

    Mixing a live show... using a daw.

    Its a live outdoor show ;). I dont usually use compression on channels when doing live stuff but due to anticipation of bad mic technique from inexperienced artists and the possibility of wind screwing with things i feel having a gate etc at my disposal could be handy. The pci system has zero...

    Mixing a live show... using a daw.

    Yes correct. The converters are 'mastering grade' same as used in some m audio stuff, I will check which ones are used. I jave set up a mock session in reaper and in my patchmix.. Seems to work spot on. Thinking about it I could even just use the patchmix for the effects without reaper as...

    Mixing a live show... using a daw.

    Yes mixing a live show. I would basically be using the pc as multiple inserts. I wouldn't be mixing on the pc as such as all effects will be sent back to the fader and I can just pull the insert cables on each channel should it go pear. Are inserts generally pre aux send? So the inserted...

    Mixing a live show... using a daw.

    Well almost. I am a live sound engineer at my local venue and I have been tasked with mixing an outside show for a small festival. I am limited to certain outboard gear, which doesn't consist of any effects units. . I will be using a Yamaha mg24 desk, so analogue. . Here is my plan, I...

    Need an interface with lots of inputs and no preamps!

    You can pick up an EMU 1212m for fairly cheap money nowadays. That carries 8 channels of ADAT in and out. The 1212m is just the PCI card, they also do the 1820m with a breakout box. Endless internal routing on that card also!

    Serious problem with intermittent freezing during muti-track recording

    Solved?!! It seems to have stopped its freezing.. so far. I offset file switching in Reaper and that has done the trick so far... must have been trying to access files all at the same time and causing the freeze?!! EP on!

    Serious problem with intermittent freezing during muti-track recording

    I thought I fixed it! I did a fresh install of xp and only loaded the emu system, reaper and service pack 3. It worked for a practice I recorded but then 2 days later it happened again, so I am thinking the card has gone funny and can't handle the feed from the breakout box aswel as the adat...
