    any compressors worth looking into for mastering on the cheap

    I'd say probably the lack of treatments in my room, I'm getting ready to move so I don't use any at the moment. My mastering skills, that's a hard one to really answer. I always feel like my mixes lack and I need to figure out what is missing, but then I have a bunch of engineer friends that...

    AD/DA conversion question?

    Thanks man, yeah I just do a lot of comparing and such, it may be a lack of sub bass or something. It just doesn't seem to hit me in the chest quite as much as I'd like, I am thinking about buying a couple of outboard compressor/limiters to use for the mastering stage. I used Ozone 5 on this I...

    AD/DA conversion question?

    What do you feel will make the biggest difference in my mixes, I feel that they lack a certain depth, fullness and such. Here is the one that I am talking about... https://soundcloud.com/nathanlimes/an-elevation-of-evil-finally

    AD/DA conversion question?

    Ok, I am not really a noob, I have been doing this for a while, but I wanna get opinions from guys with more experience than I. Ok, my question is, what is the point of having outboard converters? I have in my rack a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 and an ADA8000 AD/DA converter. I wanna know what...

    any compressors worth looking into for mastering on the cheap

    I currently have in my rack a Saffire pro 40, and a Behringer ADA8000 for my in's and out's, I'm gonna send the ADA8000 to BLA to have modded out for better conversion though, that's pretty much the only reason anyone would buy one, that's why I have one lol.

    How do I master, can I do it at home, I hate computers!

    This is a very touchy subject, I say you can but you can't. You can get a program like Izotope Ozone 5 and it will "master" it. But if you expect your sound to be huge like the albums you buy, forget it. The guys that do this stuff for a living have more money wrapped up in outboard gear than...

    Industry standard, 2 guitar tracks, panned hard left and hard right(100 percent left and right), drums panned in a stereo image as if you were looking at it, how would they be, kick and snare center, toms slightly panned, overheads hard left and hard right, get it, bass always centered, vocals...

    What other audio sources do you use to check your mixes?

    I have my setup fixed up for mixing, I have it set so that when I export my mix, I can reference on computer speakers with a sub, my akg k44's, sennheiser hd 280's, cheap ear buds all in seconds, makes mix time easy that way, I do the mix on monitors and cans, then I reference on a minimum of 4...

    Recording Screaming Vocals

    Ok, first if you are getting distorted sounds, you are clipping. It is still running to hot. Back the singer away from the mic, you're using a condenser mic, keep him about 6 to 12 inches back with a pop filter in place. To be honest, you are really using the wrong mic for screaming vocals...

    any compressors worth looking into for mastering on the cheap

    Here lately I am doing a lot more work and don't wanna have to keep sending my mixes out, so I am looking into maybe buying a good outboard comp and maybe eq. I am treading water here, I don't wanna go overboard and drop 5000 on a Manley Vari-mu, I just wanna spend a few hundred and get a good...

    preamp into a preamp trouble?

    I have the pro 40 as well, but I found that I don't get enough gain out of just my outboard preamps. I am using a warm wa12 that has 71 db of gain, so that shouldn't be a problem. So something isnt right, any suggestions.

    Line 6 pod hd pro/Mesa Boogie 2:90?

    It's been a long time since I've been on here, mostly because I've been overhauling my studio. I got a shit ton of new equipment, so I have been playing with that. Still really like my Mesa/line 6 combo, I did just get a new splawn 4x12 and it sounds incredible together. I picked up some new...

    I experimented with my rack setup today for maybe 2 hours. Very fun stuff, I have a furman power conditioner, powering my line 6 pod hd pro, into a Mesa Boogie Simul-Class 2:90 tube power amp. I am using the Angl F-Ball Pre model with only a noise gate and tube compressor following, and it is...

    Can someone sent me some acoustic metal drum tracks?

    I am wanting to experiment with mixing acoustic drums, and experiment with drum replacement but I don't have any acoustic drum tracks anymore. We use an electric kit to do drum tracks these days, and it has been awhile since I have actually mic'd up some good old real drums. If anyone has some...

    Couple of questions?

    It probably would help to get my hands on a patchbay and play with it alittle. I am gonna be running a Focusrite pro40, with outboard preamps, like GAP pre73's, and such, a Presonus Studio Channel, and a 500 series with probably two pre's, an eq, a compressor, and a reamper, maybe two eq's. I...

    Couple of questions?

    I am planning on getting a 500 series module setup, that's why I asked. I am curious as to how that would be all arranged. I wanna have pre's, comps, and an eq or two in my rack. The 500 series modules are pretty affordable, buy one piece at a time, since me and my partner are working on...
