I am trying to EQ vocals into a song. and i start having trouble getting it to fit. the question is how can i eq a track (doing only cutting), and get the volume i want? it seems like i can't cut the frequencies i want (mostly the lower frequencies) out without making the overall track too...

I mostly work with midi. My question is: when i am creating a song should my individual tracks be in mono or stereo? for example, like my synths and samplers. Thanks1

Hey, im trying to mix vocals into a song (duh) but after i compressed them i noticed that they seem to have a real sort of boxy sound, probably the result of a shitty vocal booth, low end mic, and shitty preamp. What i was wondering is if tightening up the tracks eq in some way could maybe...

Im trying to mix vocals to a song that changes in overall volume about every 8 bars or so. But its pretty challenging not to end up with really loud in your face vocals for 8 bars, and then all of a sudden having vocals that are just a touch too low in volume. Is there some technique to getting...

I am trying to use a compressor on a vocal track in Logic. Im using just the regular compressor plug in that came in Logic. What i dont get is that the ratio options all have three numbers, like "4:0:1". I dont know what that means. I looked in a couple of books for an answer but couldn't...

I Recorded a rapper a few weeks ago. when i recorded his performance i had my monitors off and i monitored him through head phones, as for him he wore my krk headphones which shouldnt of leaked at all into the mic. he was in my vocal booth/bathroom. haha YET.. there is a generous amount of...

I recently recorded a rapper, and on one of his tracks i plugged in a "speech enhancer" which comes included with logic. It made his voice sound better i must admit, but i am starting to think that it doesnt sit as well in the whole mix. so my question is what exactly does something like a...

ok, im trying to remix a song. so i found an acapella (which is actually pretty good quality). I imported it to Logic and started trying to line up the tempo of the imported file with the overall tempo of the project, this is where i am getting frustrated. i know the tempo of the song is a...

Ok this is whats happening. Im using the ES2 synthesizer in Logic (which isn't a very reliable synth might i add), and i have it running through an auto filter with a beat synchronized LFO. Re-triggered and pretty high cutoff. (this is how i like to make wobble bass) but for some reason i am...

what are things that should be considered when picking a midi controller? im about to get one and have done quite a bit of research. i use logic so Im not concerned a whole lot about compatibility with different brands (which i understand is a big deal to a lot of protools users). I just don't...

ok. i need a desk, but i am going to make my own. The only problem is i want it to be pretty storable for when i don't need it out. i've been searching the internet looking for a good uh, "blueprint" for a desk that maybe folds down into a storable object, but can still comfortably hold my...

Does anyone have any experience using the Mastering preset in Logic 9? I want to take a swing at mastering, but I don't get how to use it. -Thanks

hey. i am having a horrible time getting the mix right for a project i am working on, and i think its because i have the panning wrong. i set all of the frequencies for the tracks, and i have it all panned out to pretty much a minimum. because when i spread it out (which means i just about guess...

Original Dubstep song. critique me this is my second to final draft of my mix. im not all that happy with it so i would love to hear your opinions. The kicker is i did the mixing on a set of KRK headphones that were advertised as "mixing headphones". SoundClick artist: Shoton122 - page with...

lets say i have my song mixed and eq'd. thats all set. but what is the best way to set the volume for the whole project? i have and output fader and a master volume fader in the mixer. (i only use logic so idk how other softwares are set up but i imagine them having similar principles) output...

is there a way to pull the vocals off of a song, keeping the vocals so that i can put them in one of my projects? i hear it done all the time and i am very much interested in how they do this. so that i can do it. thank you, cheers.

Why would i ever need to use anything other then just the standard Mp3 file for bouncing my projects? why does logic give me so many options?

I am looking into getting a room in my house treated to increase the quality of my mixes. i dont record a whole lot of instruments, so im mostly just concerned about hearing my monitors. what should i do? and what items would give me the most bang for my buck. im not in the business of wasting...

im noticing that most of what i make is coming up at a slightly lower volume then the songs i would compare my songs to. i would like to get that extra little kick with out clipping or lowering quality OR getting too loud. i want to get the sweet spot. im sure there is an easy fix that im just...

Yes, will compressing raise the quality of my tracks? (knowing i use only software tracks on logic) and then end up making my song easier to mix? or am i completely missing what compression actually is?
