Has anyone used Fractal's free DAW plug - Cab Lab? It's a mixer that can load 4 IR's & blend together. just wondering if this is a rabbit hole I don't need to go down. Thanks. https://www.fractalaudio.com/cab-lab-4/

Great answer, thanks. The Izotope unmask is some kind of dynamic EQ.

Maybe unmasking is only generic to Izotope - it is recognizing frequencies that maybe interferring with each other and filtering out those frequencies on one of the tracks or busses so the other is more clear (as opposed to lowering the volume level).

Does anyone ever use both together for a vocal track to come through over instruments & pads? Is ducking on a vocal track more for spoken audio? Any thoughts are appreciated.

I think I can work with many of the suggestions posted here and get some improvement. A lot of it may just have been my concepts about level and I will try lowering the other faders and getting my volume in mastering. I go light on compression, a little goes a long way for me.

Good point! Hearing is selective also and I probably tune out ambient noises in my apartment that a microphone will pick up. There's a similar issue in photography, my eyes or my vision is selective but the camera lens is not.

Wow what a lot of responses! I expect people to push me a little or give me a hard time when I post here and I've already learned a lot! It's good. The faders are at unity gain because I'm just talking about the beginning pre-mix stage. So too low just means relative to the instrument faders at...

Focusrite scarlett i18 8. I thought I needed to be so close because otherwise the waveform is so low but re the previous post i will rethink that. I thought the pres weren't helping much because of the low waveform level. I'll check the level & see what I am recording at. Thanks.

That's a very good point! When all the faders are at unity gain, it seems too low to me. I could increase the input trim but I don't know how that affects the noise floor. I'll try cutting the faders back & get my level from mastering. Thanks for yr insight!

Thanks for the comments! I can try working w compression more. I don't think EQ will help levels. Ribbons are my only mics, it's just a small project studio. The pres are Titan FET heads but I don't think they help much. Maybe I'm expecting too much? I've priced other preamps but they are...

Hi I stopped normalizing my vox years ago because it's destructive but I'm just not getting a sound I like. I have high-end ribbon mics & use an in-line pre but still have to get so close I get the proximity effect. I'm thinking of recording further away for a more natural sound & normalizing...

Thanks I didn't know any of that!

Is there any problem with dnloading samples to a thumb drive to save space on my computer? thanks.

I used to use Soundclick. not sure if anyone uses it anymore?

OK thank you! I just need to be patient.

I'm sure this has been discussed, can someone point me to a thread? Thank you!

I'm really frustrated with the design aspect of band camp. I only have so much tolerance for this kind of thing and it's probably user error but I'm just not getting it to work. Any other recommendations besides band camp? Thank you!

Blue Cat Rehead, dSoniq by Realphones - they both have possibilities but a little complex & I need to go thru the manual. Goodhertz can Opener had such a poor interface i didn't go further with it. RedLine monitor was very simple but I couldn't hear any difference. I still want to try Dear VR. I...
