Um, i honestly dont know, at least in Db. I know ive been told that i track way to low, and i have not had the chance to do a rcording since this info came to me, so i dont know how much it will effect my sound. Basically my train of thouhgt was to track low (meters bouncing about a quarter of...

At the moment im completely digital, but in the near future i want some outboard gear (mostly pre-amps and compressors, im fairly happy with my reverb plug ins) but i honestly dont no how it works when your using digital stuff, ie:no anolog mixing board. I use Firepods for my interface, but...

I use two presonus firepods first, which have alright pre's, then daisy chained to my external harddrive, then out to my computer, when mixing i compress first (this is all plug ins) then i sind the compressed signal into the eq, then any other processing (reverb etc...) comes after that. I mic...

Ive been messing around with my new studio set up for about 4 months now and ive finally got some stuff im pretty happy with. But one lingering problem is a harshness over the top of everything. I remixed something were this problem was particularly bad, and by pulling in the 6, 8, and 10 khz...

Damn what a stupid word to have to spell for someone who sucks at spelling as it is. But to my question, ive tried tons of mics and tons of processing, tons of mic distances and my tambaourine sound sucks. I have a nice tambaurine, so thats no really this issue. Ive tried my Tube vocal mic...

I use logic, but im sure most recording programs offer the option to burn a mix, so perhaps somone can help me out. I have had a problem with my mixes when i listen to them in other systems, now this is most likely due to a sub par mix, but i want what im listening to represent my "true" mix...

it does make sense, and ive had experiance with patch bays, i guess im just not seeing the whole picture, am i sending the instrument being processed through the processer before it hits the track (much like a guitar pedal) or am i sending the recorded (or recording in present tense) track to...

I have no need to use any outboard equiptment at the moment cuz im in the learning process, BUT in the future how does analog gear work with a digital setup? for instance, if i want an out board compressor with your standard 1/4" jacks or XLR or whatever, were does it sit in my signal chain...

Ok, i of course understand the over all purpose and applications of compression. But, a few threads back (the one about "metal" attack on the drums) someone gave a response that kinda threw me for a loop. They said that in order to get a sharp attack on the kick i should try a SLOW attack...

If there is anyone on this forum who lives in NYC read on, im looking for someone, preferably someone pro, or very close to pro (yes i do realize this is HOME recording.com) to come to my house and give me some pointers in person, see my set up, listen to what ive done, tell me whats right and...

thanks, thats a good place to start, and its more than likely true. So that brings me to the second part that i hope somone can answer. If for instance i do (this is just hypothetical) have monitors with a low, low end, and im mixing what is pleasing to me, from those speakers, but that...

i agree, and apreciate what glen is saying, but i am aware that mastering wont "fix" a bad recording, i guess my questin is more related to what what im hearing at home. Studio monitors (of course the quality can vary greatly) are for the most part UN-realistic. the quality of the the sound is...

I personally like my mixes very hot, with kicking kick, huge toms, sharp guitars etc... I often have a problem when i listen to my mixes on things other than my monitors (i use a mid range set of powered krk rockets so im using "real" monitors) the things i like to hear loud in the mix, are...

mics im using a midrange set of audix drum mics, seven mic pre pack, not supper low end not supper fancy either, and i use an sm57 under the snare. i use sm57s on the guitars and or these audix (forget what they are called) mics that are very very simalar to an sm58, some say better but who...

boosting and cuting Im really trying to learn to cut before i boost, an ive had good resualts. I guess im just wondering if im way of base, would you assume that its coming from one of the two places i think it might be? Im not in my studio so i cant send an example right now, and that would...

working together musically i agree they should work together, but in a mix they both tend to disapear because they share so many characteristics. i asking about a way to hear them both in the mix, they tend to cancel each other with the same effect as phase cancelation if they share to many...

mabye this is more of a tracking issue, or its actually both, but i like and want that heavy metal attack on the drums, supper tight toms, clicky kick way up front without being overbearing etc.. i like this in all forms of music. Ive been trying things with compression and eq of course, whats...

nasty high end everything sounds ok, the guitars are not to "grindy" and the symbols are ok also. ive gated the toms and the kick to reduce bleed, ive EQ'd and filtered the hats out of the snare etc... so its got to be a combo of the two i would assume. mabye the sybols could be a little...

ive been reading about and experimenting with the idea that bass gutiar and kick drums share the same frequencys in the 50 to 80 hz range. the idea being that if you boost one you shuld pull on the other because they will cancel each other. Now ive tried it, and its true, but then either my...

I seem to have trouble getting rid of that "grindy" or "harsh" sounds in my mixes, i assumed that it came from either the guitars ( i been using some really high gain guitars) or from the drum overheads. but i cant seem to isolate it. is this a common problem, were does it usually come from...
