I am hearing "sits" alot after reading many threads around here as well as articles around the net. What exactly are we speaking about when we say "sits", as well as dynamic range. My mixes due to shitty monitoring situation till of late, all seem super flat, as if, everything sat on the...

KRK RP5G2's been using my 160 dollar headphones thinking better headphones will mean a better mix, eh, wrong, so i tried connecting my stereo system which has different sound fields, you know so i could mix and compare to get a good balance of them all, sooooooo, i finally picked up a pair of...

i think you are the only one who understands what my limitations were with having to mix down my tracks before bringing them to sonar, Everyone keeps saying don't do it, mix your tracks and vocals together, but no one was realizing that i can't, because when you export a wav file from reason...

well i understood all of that, to a point, i was just trying to get past the limitations i had with the software i was using. Now that i found a way to bring my tracks into Sonar from Reason via ReWire, I am able to mix and eq everything in Sonar. But I will still be applying eq and such to...

i was actually gonna bring that up, but i could tell buck wasn't familiar with Reason... the thing is, I've used Rewire before, the problem i had was that i had some terrible latency with my midi. So for the purpose of creating my beats and arrangements, it would not work for shit. I didn't...

yeah, sorry, that's what i was trying to get across, Reason is not a recording type software, it's more like a midi sequencer, it has samplers and all that as well much like vst plugins in sonar or whatever, but no, it doesn't actually have a record function, you can only export as a wav file...

maybe you haven't worked with reason before, the only way to bring what i make in reason into sonar is by exporting my reason song as a .wav, then i import the .wav into sonar, so you see i cannot alter the individual tracks of the beat once i get to reason, which is why i would do as much as i...

none, the Fast Track Pro has built in pre at least at the instrument level

that is all good, except one small thing, i will do eq in reason to INDIVIDUAL TRACKS, like if a frequency in my strings is conflicting with my piano, i will eq that to, but no, i won't apply any affects to the beat as a whole, i will only mix the levels i don't see why not to do effects and...

alright, well i thought it was pretty decent, i just don't know that it is adding anything beneficial to recording my vocals, once i get my room noise problem figured, maybe i'l give this another go with teh preamp, it just may be worh tthe measly 120 i spent on it, but that's 120 i want to put...

thanks, i bookmarked your site, i will get on that

i know i don't master the individual tracks......i never i don't think said i do, or should, i would master the beat in Reason, and that's what i was asking about. and there are no "backing tracks", i have one track that is the beat, and one track with vocals, that is it, so are you just saying...

I think i get that... so are you saying that the preamp is shit and ditch it, cuz that is already in progress, or are you saying it's not enough to have a negative effect?? anyways, i'm staying in the room, i will just move away from that corner, open it up a bit, get some treatment around...

okay, but the "beat" that i add IS the only music on the track, i do all the instrumentation in Reason, i don't do live instruments or nothing like that, i have a buddy who plays guitar on tracks but i always, sample that stuff and rework it in Recycle and Reason, so when i am importing my beat...

i didn't realize i could by pass the pres with the line level input, that's what i was using anyways, inst/line sounded pretty close anyways, i am sending the preamp back, it doesn't help, if anything, it is making the room's bad shit sound worse, i tried without last night and got better...

you guys are great, you hit both points with these posts, i in fact was using a preamp, a Studio Projects VTB1, i was analyzing my tracks, which was showing a lot of buildup, but i removed the pre and tried a few other things, i took another look at the spectrum and it looks a lot better, and...

i actually think i had my soundcard set at 16 bit, last night it was at 24, not sure what i had Sonar set at, i think it may be defaulted at 16, will have to chekc that, but i did remove the preamp i had, and i was able to find a pretty good level that gave me decent volume in my headphones and...

if you just bought a new laptop, i don't think that you need to go the eSATA route, i bought a card for my laptop when i got an eSATA HD, it is as fast if not faster than my internal drive, but my internal HD was only 5400 spin speed, so that's prolly the only difference i saw, i'm guessing your...

that's a magical idea!1!! haha, i remember recording a track in my living room once that i didn't much care about outside noise and i don't think that it was picking up as much noise, like just air, shit, that sucks though cuz i've spent a lot of time and material trying to make this closet...

yeah actually there is stuff packed on all the shelves except for right behind me, my problem in the past in that room was reverb at the high levels, so i carpeted the area around where the mic is if you can tell where i mean, as well as the floor, i seem to still get a lot of sibilance and it...
