I recently added a presonus studio channel tube preamp to my collection of gear.
so it goes, TLM 102/solo 610/tube pre/scarlett/comp/ableton.
im just trieing to find a good frequency for mids, lows and highs.
I typically record hip hop but new to mixing and mastering.
i have many questions that my ear cant seem to find or i feel like it does but then i question after i listen to other songs.
their mix and mine sounds a little different.(not so smooth and in the mix)
my vocals are in front of the mix, but more abruptly at some points and low at others.
i think its because some of my frequencies match with the beats at points.
im trieing to get ozone 7 to maybe EQ the beat and see if that will help at all.
but for now my question would be, finding good frequencies and gains for lows,mids and highs and how to do that?
i feel like i was having better luck with just the solo 610 and using the effects ableton comes with but i aslo feel like i was just drowning out a bigger issue with layers, ad libs, and wacky EQ racks.
i added the tube pre to add more presence and have more customization than what the solo offers.
seems like when you add new gear, its more to learn before you just jump into it and slows down your workflow.
all this gear is a little new to me, used to working with much cheaper gear so having a little trouble with it all.
its a whole new level of sound.
ANY help or comments on ANYTHING i said would be great.
