So I've been thinking about a new studio Mic for some time. I posted about this last year. I'm a guy who has played for many years and used lots of different mics for giging, but not much experience with studio mics. I bought a TLM 103 and a couple other condenser mics some years back but...

I do apologize for this posting but I didn't see any forum for headphones or the like. I also apologize because this seems like a lightweight subject in a bigger forum. But here goes. I use earbuds when I take my laptop to work. I do some mixing and editing while I'm at work and earbuds are...

but just don't assume that bleed = bad. :) Yea I do understand there will always be some bleed through. I guess I was wondering what others do to minimize it. I appreciate your thoughts. I'll make some adjustments on the snare/high hat mic. Thanks, Don.....

Could use some advice on drum micing. I've got 6 mics on my drums. 2 over heads (L&R), kick, snare ( on top), 1 over large tom and floor tom and 1 mic over 2 smaller tom's. I get some bleed in from one mic to the other. So, basically most mics pick up something other than what they are...

Thanks. This confirms what I see as peak loudness. Don.....

Like this Dropbox - Up On The Hill.wav

I'll try to post the file again . Thanks for letting me know. Also for the clarification on volumes. Don.....

Maybe I don't understand the answer. It may be very clear to you but maybe not to me. You say in that range but I'm not certain what "that range" is. One of the answers I got was something like, leave some db for headroom like 6 or 10 or 15. That maybe isn't a correct quote and you may...

Ok so I've tried to post a song to Dropbox. I've never used it before and maybe I didn't do it correctly. If I understand it I posted it to my email vze2t273@verizon.net It's in a folder called Dons songs

Thanks for your kind response. I guess I don't understand how posting 1 track out of 13 can answer my question. I'm really questioning if volume levels in the -12 to -10db range are acceptable before the final processing. One of my songs has nothing but synths and vocals while others have...

Keith. I think it would be impossible to average answers. However I did ask a question about my volume levels. Don.....

As for posting a track. I'm fine with my mixes, I like how they sound. I'm not looking for help in that area. I am really looking to get suggestions and/or answers to my questions about my bounced tracks and the volume of those tracks moving forward. I have them rendered to a stereo track...

Thanks chilli just the kind of feedback I was looking for. Don.....

Thanks for the offer but I wasn't really looking for someone to do it for me I was looking to get some suggestions. I was hoping the information I posted might be enough for someone to help me get further along with my project. I'd like to learn as well as I go through this project. I have...

Thanks everyone for all your replies and suggestions. I’ve learned some things and have put some of them into practice already. As I proceed with my project others questions pop up. However I think it’s important for me to give you some background about me and my goals for this project. I'm...

When I setup my Master Track, I do it dry, with maybe little compression "if" needed correct ? What would the volume level look like on the Master Track? Thank, Don.....

Thanks everyone. I've got more questions on this subject. But first I think it's important to detail how I get to the Mastering/Finalizing step. I record using Reaper, everything dry at this step. Everything about -18db. I then mix the song adjusting volumes and adding effects to the...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I understand that tracks need to be mixed correctly, and I'm satisfied with the individual tracks. When I listen to them in my studio they sound good. Each instrument and vocal was recorded well, no distortion or clipping and plenty of headroom. However when...

I'd be interested in how you master your song and what equipment or software you use. I'm not real good with a lot of this stuff so if you'd let me know how easy or detailed it is to use that would be great. I'm guessing this question has been asked many times so if there is a file or folder...

Thanks everyone
