Hello to all, im new to the boards and think that you guys may have help.

I record all of my projects through Cubase LE, and record my beats and everything else instrumental in Reason 3.0. I've been trying and trying to find a way to master a complete song and have all your instruments spreaded, sorta have it sound "radio" quality, but when i "import" my beats i made from Reason, the beat seams to be to low, or not enough thump. But i raise the bass in the EQ and it's still not sounding like each individual percussion is doing it's thing. It sounds like they are clashing with each other for volume room or something.

Does anyone have suggestions, and here's the song im talking about.

This isn't me this is these lil girls in my neighborhood that wanted their voice recorded to CD on one of my beats. I felt like i short changed them because the beat wasn't "broad" enough.



thanks

Have you tried to bounce (render) each drum/instrument separately and then mix/master in Cubase?

nah, but i know what you talking about, SMH damn i should have know that...lol. Because see I program and sequence my beats on the Redrum, so I don't split em up like B. Drum , Snare , Hats, i just leave everything on one channel, but i shouldn't though, that may be the reason why, thanks bro.

It'll give you ALOT more control over each individual sound. Good Luck!

But my thing is I don't want to run alot of my memory because my Reason tends to stop playing because of too much CPU usage, and that happens only when i have alot of Rack in my template. I say that because i like alot of different percussions in my mixes. Is it a way I can have separate channel for the instruments but lower the CPU usage?

What I'm saying is...

Bounce each sound down to a .wav file and import it into Cubase. Or maybe bounce the really important parts of the song (kick, snare, hats, etc..) down to separate tracks and then bounce the not so important parts down to a stereo track. Take Reason out of the mix/master eqaution altogether, do it all within Cubase.

oh ok I get what you saying, thanks imma try that.
