Ever made a mix that sounded so good you thought it didnt need to be mastered?

[distortedrumble]

i was gonna say acid or meth for the hallucinogenic aspect of those drugs...

but to answer your question nope...each mix i do has to be remixed at least twice usually more and after that i still feel like something's missing maybe its professional mastering....or engineering skills on my part...who knows...

Re: Bag of wind?

why the personal comments on me as a person?

Becuase you claim you are great, but post no links.

Until you do, you are a windbag troll.

Ajö!

Im sensing an overflow of rancid semen in this particular post

somebody not getting enough ass in their life or something?

i told you in a previous post im not home

i tried uploadin my mp3 already but first you have to get it off the cd i have
well you know what

for whatever reason cd rws arent the friendliest medium on planet earth and media player has to be along with real player absolute bunk when it comes to ripping songs off cds

so until i get home i cant post anything up

however the fact that you feel i think im brilliant is a laugh unto itself


hmm thats just like me saying

hey did you guys ever think that you be ok with a 70 dollar chinese mike for most applications in your studio?

and you guys would say???

hmm you wouldnt say a damn thing negative because you bought that snake oil a long time ago

you might say whatcha want about me nt1a but im not the one trying to convince the world about its sound quality...other commericially produced artists have actually USED the Rode on their recordings im waiting on the studio projects still...

as for what i said though im not brilliant for liking an unmastered version

all over these forums there are posts about killing the dynamics of songs and blah blah blah compression mastering limiting yadayadayada

i mean come on if this is all about my mp3 getting posted so you can rip me apart about my levels then ill be more than glad to post that up this evening or tmw morning once i get back upstate from NYC

i mean jesus the whole premaddonna premise is kind of foregone a bit dont ya think

so you're telling me a person isnt intelligent if they dont get their songs professionally mastered?

so along the same lines then unless a person is classically trained in guitar they're an idiot for saying they play the guitar.

You know what i'm sure B.B. King would love to smack you over the head with Lucille for having an attitude like that...its very 90's of you.

All i said was have you ever achieved some results like that not on some oh lick my d*ck im the man type crap i mean just like hmmm
this sounds ok and i didnt master it yet...

do you guys actually record or just post on these forums inbetween masturbating??

if you do record then you should know that if it doesnt sound good before you master it what the hell is the engineer gonna do
turn your fender clone riffs into a les paul???
make your sm57 sound like a U67??

if life was that easy we would all only spend a grand on our studio and just make alot of engineers rich individuals

however that is not the case and mastering has actually been brought into the home studio..
now in terms of people knowing what the hell they are doing im all for educating people and if you got the dough then go to a master
but im not going to go to any mastering house if you study producers..then you should study engineers...my dream is to have Bob Clearmountain master my label's albums...but i dont have the cash right now to do that...Im sure alot of people didnt like that comment because Clearmountain seems to be anti Pro-Tools but that makes two of us...

anyways this thread is dead

a bunch of pent up geeks ruined it for everyone it started out an honest open hearted post to get some feedback out of people but instead i got all these stupid ass comments about bags and wind and metallica

if you ask me i still stuck to my topic im still waiting for you guys actually to discuss it

what a bunch of wack jobs

are you trying to pretend you actually post in the Pro-Rec Forum?

a whole bunch of Fletcher wanna bes haha

Priceless. Absolutely priceless.

 

[Blue Bear Sound]

All I could stand to read was this guy commenting about him creating mixes that don't need mastering, yet his gear consists of (among other things) an Alesis nanosynth, a Behringer pre, and T-Racks????????

WTF?!?!?!


You're not serious, are you??

 

[twonky]

So gear *is* the deciding factor in how good my recordings can sound?

Not creativity or hard work?

Twonk

 

[twonky]

To answer your question:

My experience is the same as Chessrocks, sometimes I get lucky and nail it (and this is because I am GREAT) and sometimes I finish and that shit needs some help, fer sure (also because I am great)

I have achieved excellent and crappy results and I am pretty sure my gear has nothing to do w/ it.

well let me pose you this question...do you think you could compete let alone be in the same league with a geo prizm in a nascar race...no matter how good your driving is your car isn't made to perform at a professional level

 

[faderbug]

confused?

illacov, when i compare your first with your last post i feel you are loosing consistency.

 

[twonky]

Sure, I am not going to pretend that my Mackie is going sound as good as an AMEK or a Trident but, to immediately disqualify someone's work or at least thier comment on their work based on the gear is a bit myopic, I think.

My point is, that it is very detrimental (sp?) to discourage someone simply because you found out they usea a Behringer or T Racks. The latter of which can be used to get excellent results if used w/ the right set of ears and experience.

I have heard amazing sounding records done on 8 track tape 1/4"machines w/ mackie mixers. the thing that made them great was the creativity and problem solving that went into dealing and working w/ the limitation.

actualy gear does not determine how GOOD your recordings sound but HOW they sound tout court.

if a recording sounds 'good' or not is a matter of consensus.

Let me put my post another way:

Quite long-winded of illacov for someone whose principle gear consists of (among other things) an Alesis nanosynth, a Behringer pre, and T-Racks....

 

[twonky]

Roll your 'e' eyes all you want the subtext of your post was that his statements were disqualified because of the gear he listed.

And I am still trying to figure out what was offensive about his post in the first place. I mean it meandered, but it didnt offend me.

 

[faderbug]

i think his point was that when you're a genius it doesn't matter what gear you use, you will still get brilliant results with your sound.

then he claimed he gets brilliant results in spite of his cheap gear.



and that after just one read!
