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

VCspaceboy, those are good points. Like I said, its not that I was disagreeing w/ BlueBear I just wanted to make sure that we acknowledged that gear is not the only factor that determines how successful a person could be at making a mix that is so good that it doesn’t need mastering.

Now, will I will definitely grant that the gear list provided by illacov make one suspect of the magical results he claimed to have achieved.

And I suspect that even (and I am still learning, for sure) me and others like Bluebear w/ the experience and knowledge that they obviously have could find plenty of reasons why this cats mix could use a good mastering job.

But wouldn’t it be really inspiring if he did make a masterpiece w/ all that crappy gear?

P.S. thanks Chess for being my special cheerleader :)

That would suck, because then we couldn't appropriately belittle and berate the cocky bastard for coming on our board and acting like an ass! ! !

Indeed.

As E conversation has the limitation of disguising the inflection in one's satement I cannot tell if you are being sarcastic or.....actually I dont give a shit.

Thanks for you help, all the same.
 
Ok Im back draw your swords caesar has returned With the MUSIC (horns play sour notes

After listening to my track ive decided to remastered it....
but not with a ME ... just with the plug ins i have

by the way

Blue Balls...Blue Bear i dont care if you own the Hit Factory...the NanoSYNTH is a fucking sound module not a reverb

what kind of dickhead tries to insult somebody and they dont even know what the fuck they're talking about

how did you guys not catch that?

As for my GEAR

My signal path is not the greatest the Behringer is most definately adding noise which is why im getting a better interface for recording namely a Edirol DA 2496 I think thats what its called

as for me saying i have the golden mix

its funny how damn near everbody ascribed their own little takes on me as a person based off one statement.

Ok so the minute a person says they think they made out alright with a mixdown and didnt use an ME you automatically assume that they are trying to rate themselves up as a genius and they have golden ears.

Did you see anything about the post where I stated a certain person's name??
Bob Clearmountain??

Whoever the fuck you're using for an ME i could care less...
no way i give some dickhead with a mac 250 bucks plus an hour to master my songs when hes got the same software as me!

Unless he uses tape as part of the mastering process im not gonna shell out money to somebody thats subpar...id rather fly with my rough cut mixes if their not mastered perfectly ill live with it i can remaster the album with net from initial sales

As for how the original sounds on a clock radio

it sounds like a song on the radio..does it sound like it was made in a PROFESSIONAL studio? Yes and no
does it sound like it was commercially done
YES... do i need a nice 4000 dollar Great River pre amp OF COURSE

my only real gripe right now is noise but its a very small small gripe, which will be resolved when i get that new interface and toss my little mixer which other than the minor issue im having has done a fine job i might even just get another behringer since the newer ones are supposed to sound way better


As for my set up

I got the same sounds as most producers can ask for minus the fact i dont have access to korgs library of sounds.

However i did see the err of my ways and like i said i remastered the song after some listens in my car whilst driving to NYC for a job interview...

Part of the reason i didnt master the song or limit (sonically) it in the first place was this weird problem i had with pumping
so i just let it be in its two track form after mixdown and it still sounded ok...(part of the reason i used "SO GOOD" in my subject header was because i wanted to see if anyone was mastering without using limiting or heavy compression ...perhaps just good eqing or good old fashioned tape which does wonderful things when given some encouragement)

but thats gone now it was frequency related...basically the pumping was triggered by a rise in high mids i took care of that with simple re-leveling in cubase.

But heres the file have fun rippin it up

its been changed anyways..

btw its copyrighted blah blah blah internet piracy dadada yeah yeah i know

and sorry bout the format but im on a school computer right now...i have a dial up at my house and the school has a lan connection but no media player!! ..so its in real audio format you should be able to get by with that though i dont really think the sound quality was set too too low so its pretty fair to say this is close to the real sound quality...but not quite :)

Im sure ill get a response or two so im not going to make any end to this statement
just
Peace

And you sound like some dim-witted rookie who hasn't got the slighest clue about audio.

You can buy a clue and try to learn something from people far more knowledgeable than you, junior....

:rolleyes:
 
Illacov,

I can't believe what a complete fool of an idiot someone would have to be to put down a real recording engineer . . .

. . . meanwhile, he can't even figure out how to convert something to an mp3 file and post a link to it.

Look, shit for brains, it's taken you like 3 days now, and you still haven't even figure out something that simple, and you're supposedly good at this stuff? ? ?

Hey, I know of a couple guys you could like form a group with. You guys would be awesome. One goes by the name 'a Hottsauce. You ever hear of him? The other dude's name is Thirsty.

Hottsauce could wail his off-key croonings, while Thirsty grabs the microphone and tells 'yall how much better he is than haaafff of ya. :D Meanwhile, you can master these guys with your plugins, and eventually figure out how to post their mp3's sometime before the next president is elected.

I don't know if you guys would get along very well, though. There's bound to be some conflict whenever you get that many strong personalities and talent level together . . . ala Lennon / McCartney. Just beware of that going in to this. Oh, and you might have to help saucy find himslef a mic. Then a preamp. You can have him do that while you figure out the whole 'posting an mp3' thing.

I thought the whole point was that it sounded so good, it didn't need to be mastered.
