    EQ question.

    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...

    uh. well the vocals are going over he verses of the song, and the verses are split into two parts, the first part has hihats, snare and a stepped synth, and the second part or phrase adds in a bass synth, kick, and another higher pitched synth on top of what the first part has. so what stands...

    Im using logic pro 9. I should, of also pointed out that all but one of the sounds is midi. i went through and compressed the track to about 25db and it did sort of improve my dilemma. Im thinking about maybe trying to compress the whole song after I export it, but i'm thinking that might...

    EQ on Vocals

    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...

    Mixing Vocals! help please

    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...

    Compressor ratio question

    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...

    What is this effect called and how do you do it?

    You dont need a 3rd party plug in for this i dont think. you can get that effect pretty well if you do this. go to the plug in box, scroll down to audio units, go to pitch, and then automate it to slide down in pitch on the part that you want to sound like a tape stopping.

    Speech Enhancer?

    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...

    Tempo problem is KILLING ME

    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...

    Death not an option - mix in headphones or a crappy room?

    Same. i have a shitty space too. AND i bought a set of headphones. AND hated them. THEN i bought some monitors. headphones cant touch them. and honestly, i dont think space is too big of a deal most of the time. i mean, if you are getting paid to produce super high quality mixes then yeah...
