I am in 64 now but I finished all of my projects before converting. Most plug-ins had a 64 bit version available. But this issue is why I simply don't use a lot of plugins.

I think the acoustic is fine. I didn't listen on my studio monitors though. I don't think you're as far off as some suggest. I hear just very slight tweaks that could only be hashed out in a better environment than I gave it. But the vocal, if I were producing you I'd have you do another...

I agree about the electric guitar sounding a bit muffled. And I would add a slight touch of reverb on the vocal--that's my taste and I know not everybody likes that.

A lot of good replies and I didn't read all. Disagree about leaving the floor untreated. Definitely Rugs or just cheap pieces of scrap carpet. You didn't say but if you are using a low wattage amp, tube, like 4 or 5 to 15 the echo can be your friend. Use it by mic positioning. Vocally if...

Reverb is in essence an effect that is adversely affected by volume. It is meant to simulate sound from a distance where the volume is dampened. I use reverb on my monitor channel but wait until I'm mixing to apply the right amount to the recorded track.

While I agree that everything is of it's time--i.e. you mostly love what you grew up with, with exceptions--I think you can make reasonable judgments between technology. An analog group would be slanted, however, rightfully so, in regards to the actual recording chain...

Drums, bass first. The reason is because they work the mastering compressor the most. Set the drums so they stay in the green but as high as possible--but nowhere near clipping. Bring up the bass and watch your master output level. At this point I go ahead and set the compressor so that...

As somebody else said, sounds like the low end was hogging compressor real estate. So when you lowered the bass the floor rose for everything else. Don't re-eq. Remix. The eq did not get brighter, it got louder. Remix.

Yeah depending on your daw software the easiest is just to draw an auto volume drop. If it's tape I'd dub over. Don't overthink it.

Now that's funny.

So I've been using these JBL LSR305 monitors long enough to have an opinion (another wise guy). Specs are all over the net. I have to say that I have a very small room, not treated, and possibly the worst mixing environment you could have. So I do not need to push them at all. I like them a...

Recording real drums just isn't very easy. I use ezdrummer because it sounds great for getting your songs put together. I can then afford to wait on somebody to put the drums on. It has a real useful place in the process.

I'm thinking you have a dynamics issue and need to have a compressor to even out your peaks.

The AI version of 7 would not let me disable tracks but had to mute them. Elements will. Elements came with a few more nice plugins--check that vintage compressor. A few more functioning tools, definitely better.

Ok so weird. I did adjust the gear back again and now it's working, wah wah again. But it's even more midrangey than it was so I did not get the gear back in the same spot--maybe one more tooth to get a bit more of the high back. What I was trying to do was get more high freq from the original...

Let me know if there is a better forum for this. I opened my Dunlop Jimi Hendrix wah and made a small adjustment to the gear hoping to get a tad more on the high end. While in there I cleaned out the dust etc--air in a can type thing. Now the pedal comes on but doesn't WAH! Basically it sounds...

Well you have to think of it this way. Since compression can color the overall sound, you may end up having to make some eq adjustments. So what does that tell you? If your eq doesn't change after applying the compression, ie you do not feel compelled to change anything.....what does that tell you?

Too much compression: hearing things you do not want to hear; hearing "pumping"--you'll know it when you hear it. If the question relates to using compression at several stages, ie input, multitrack, output it's not a problem unless you overcompress in the individual cases. On tracks I use...

For sure in the days of vinyl mastering was very much an art unto itself, and to a somewhat lesser degree for tape also (but for different reasons). To say that in the digital domain mastering is easier is right on a certain level, mainly for the home recording crowd. However do not...

I have the Tascam Dp-008EX and love it.
