MAN... i just tried the TLS maximizer and it kicks ass. Probably the best free plug i've used and i think its way better than wavearts Final Plug. I got good rms levels with no distortion. I just added a bit of compression and then used the maximizer. Very good. Thanks for the info on that plug!

thanks ..........i'll give the maximizer a try. I tried fully functional Final Plug from wavearts and definitely dont think its worth 200 bucks!!

who makes the best free compression, limiter plugins?? ive seen quite a few out there. What combo of those would be the best to get a louder mix??

got it. I usually try to have my mixes around -15rms and peak rms of around -8 or so. I do 1950's rockabilly and some psychobilly type stuff

good info. Thanks all. Is there any typical settings on a limiter for boosting a final mix?? ceiling is at 0, but what about the threshold and release times?? :confused:

Can somebody explain the difference between the two?? for example, I've used the W1 limiter plugin (supposed to be a L2 clone??) and it does a very comparable job in getting a songs apparent loudness up to that of a song that has been totally squashed with compression. The difference i see is...

thanks for the tips. I think i'll stick with using compression and limiting. Ive been using Voxengo's Span Rms meter and i notice alot of commercial cd's register alot of clip instances, yet the overall product sounds good and never goes over 0bd. I try to get my final mixes at around -15rms...

does anybody know of any cheap program or plugin that has an RMS Normalization feature?? like if i wanted the track to be at -15 rms, i would just set the level to that and thats it?? when i use regular compression it takes a lot longer thatn i would like, with all the tweaking and stuff

does anybody know of any plugin that simulates the vinyl record sounds like of the 1950's?? the only one I see is Izotope vinyl. Is there any other ones out there??

hey i been using magix stuff for a few years also. Started with music maker 10 but have now upgraded to Music Studio 11. I am very pleased with it. Very compatible with interfaces and lots of I/O options. The effects are good to me. Check it out if you can

Firebox is great. I love mine. Very stable and audio quality is pretty good for home recordings

or if your pc has a card reader just stick your fostex card in their and copy the individual wav files to your pc. Thats what i was doing, before i got into the all out pc firewire interface recording mode

can somebody tell me if this website trips on sending emails to you from the forums we subscribed to?? i put down for immediate email notification and i havent recieved one email yet from the forums i subscribe to? :mad:

go with a presonus firebox!! i am very pleased with mine. 6 inputs total (4 1/4 inputs), firewire, very stable, and i got mine at the local guitar center for 250

I highly recommend Magix Music Studio 11. Its a "budget" software around 80 bucks and i would pick it over Cubase anyday. I have used cubase and didnt like it at all. Magix has lots of features for audio and midi and lots of input/output routing options as well. Very compatible with alot of...

i have a firebox, and yes it does have 4 analog/line ins. I have had no problems with it and the set up was extremely easy and didnt have to download any new drivers. Works great. The only downside might be that the preamps are kinda weak when trying to record acoustic guitar, but i dont think...

wouldnt all foam be flammable?? :confused: this club had to be using real acoustic sound foam??

when u say "vocals slight panning with lead dead center".... what exactly do u mean?? also, ive listened to a whole bunch of recordings from the 50's and it seems as if drums are pretty distant and not ever the focus. Should this always be the case nowadays??

I'm recording pretty traditional rockabilly. This is what we use.... Upright bass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, vocals, and one snare drum. Pretty simple. So far on a few songs I have placed the bass and vocals dead center, electric guitar i've panned a few db's off center to the right and...

we do "live multitracking" all the time. Vocals, guitar, snare drum, and upright bass. The room isnt that big either. The finsihed product sounds pretty decent and cant even notice any bleed. If some bleed is noticeable, say in the vocal track, while there is just music and no lyrics going...
