I'll be there
Must be over a decade since I posted a song here, haven't done much recording in a while beyond the odd live jam.
A year or two back I bought the LURS mastering console JFTFOI, played around with it for a bit then forgot about it. I used to "master" in Audacity way back, not ideal, mostly just used it to try and squeeze a few more db out of a mix.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I picked up some Adam's D3V's (love them) for the non "studio" computer desk and started booting up old mixes to see what I could do. I can't remember what I mixed on my 6" Events, that now have a blown tweeter from Windows booting up, but most of the mixes are pretty bad lol. Probably a mix of no talent, bad monitoring, and Audacity being an offline editor.
After playing around with the LURS console, I can't say enough about having dedicated mastering software on hand. I kind of had to use the EQ to remix but in any case it's been eye opening, and there are probably better tools out there.
So I found a reasonable master of a song (no decent pre master mix). It's over compressed and pushes treble hard to bring the vox and cymbals out. It's a little bombastic at the start with the bright guitars but I think makes a bit more sense once the song gets going.
Anyhow, curious how it translates, and if maybe any of the OG are still hanging around?
