You're not LISTENING, man.. I'm not putting no V in the god damned master EQ.
Jeeezus CHRIST Almighty.


Fuck this forum.
Tell me what that sentence means if it doesn't meant that you are mastering it with the curve.

I try to get my mixes to sound like I would normally play a song on any commercial system (slight V and added bass).

Anyway, just clips.. nothing real solid. Was bored and goofing around with my gear:


Got news for you, skippy -- your "boosted" version is clipping and distorting all over the place.... so much for your "listening environment".......... :rolleyes:

I think you need to re-calibrate your ears........ :cool:

I saw pimp my ride yesterday (stupid car tuning program on tv). They put a 23" woofer in the back of a car. Let me repeat that: a twen-ty-three-inch woofer.

Bassboost button eat your heart out, some might say.

23" is for pikers:

Yours for a mere $2,500 :D


rivv3t, what you are doing makes sense to me in a roundabout way. I expect that as you continue your exploration of sound, you'll realize that you have added a couple of steps and you could have saved yourself $17.95. But if it works for you . . .

Bear is right . . . you can't start with peaks at -0.02dB and add +5dB at 63Hz without mangling your track.

Which of these are you saying would be the final master :confused: The flat isn't horrible, but you haven't left any room with peaks that high, so it's not a great mix for a premaster, and it's too quiet for a master. It wouldn't hurt to apply some compression during mixing, and shoot for peaks at -3dB at a maximum.

The boost, I don't know what you are trying to accomplish. It's not a good master, and if that was played on a system with a boost button :eek:

Okay.


So......if I wasn't talking to you..........why...in the fuck...did you reply to my post? It obviously wasn't intended for you.

Dude, you're a fuckin' moron. Learn a thing or two about audio before you start talking shit to people who know volumes more than you do on the subject. Go to K-Mart, buy your fuckin' extreme bass boost stereo, and have a blast with that.

Even the ones that work for "such and such a studio" because if they were really all that they wouldn't be wasting their precious time in here and that's a damned fact.

Yeah, tell that to Harvey Gerst and Joel Hamilton.
