Perfect... a new teammate of mine talked me through a vocal chain. I went a little something like this: In this order VEQ3- can't remember the settings. I was a vocal preset Multiband Compressor C4, Compressed 128-2k to -3db and raised the output db SSL EQ added a few db to the LM and HM was kinda ...

Don't feel too bad my man! We ALL do things like this and will continue to until we either don't move cables at all anymore, or have an ass engineer move them for us

I guess the thing is that I don't really do just one kind of music. I am finishing a country album right now, and I will be mixing some pop-rock from Atlanta after that, and then will probably do some of my solo work which does involve sometimes a huge number of virtual instruments. I basically want...

I'm currently in the process of building a mixing/ overdub room in my new house, and I will need another computer as the one in the current studio will stay there for tracking. I've never used a laptop for mixing, and I'm wondering, can the new Mac laptops handle high track counts (30+), and high pl...

I would suggest getting a $100 dollar set of headphones. If you keep buying cheap gear that doesn't sound good, you will end up wasting money over time trying to "work your way up" to something that you love. Monitors always depreciate in value, so buying and then selling, then buying again doesn't ...

if you record the drums in this room, you would probably benefit mostly from having the diffusion on the ceiling above the kit.. some people think this sounds better, some think it sounds worse. diffusion will generally give you the impression that the room is larger than it really is. If you are ju...

someone.... please... buy.. this.... willpower... is... fading....

It's only an insult if you were actually trying to make something that sounded like a Queensryche album and it was still called lo-fi

. Why is miley cyrus more popular than Mahavishnu orchestra? because Miley Cyrus has way nicer tits than John McGlaughlin, and everyone knows that nice boobs make you sound better.. That being said, I havent listened to "Birds of Fire" in a while.. mainly because it makes me want to quit playing mu...

I live in Owensboro KY. I interned under the guy that you talked about in a previous post and basically learned how to wrap instrument cable in a way that they won't get tangled up. Dude had protools HD3 before most people and unfortunately no idea how to make things sound good with it. Perfect exam...

What you are talking about is basically parallel EQ, and you will introduce some phase issues by doing it. maybe it will sound cool. maybe it won't.

If you really want to take the plunge start with treating your room as best as you can. It sounds like you are really on the fence about whether you want to do more than good demos. If you really are more interested in your music than you are diving into recording even deeper, I would really suggest...

The people involved with a recording have been and always will be what makes a recording sound great. The musicians, producer, engineers, mixing and mastering engineers always make or break a recording. The gear is a distant second. Learn your gear inside and out then when you've learned it if you s...
