Re: Lost in the wilds of lo/mid-fi -- your thoughts please.
Maybe try joining us for one of our monthly Reaper mixing contests. You get to work with some professionally recorded tracks, and mix just with reaper's included plugins and jsfx. Compare your mix to others. At the end you can download project files from the other participants and see how yours comp...

Re: I highly recommend REAPER
Just thought I'd mention that I've restarted a reaper mix competition that Dave Keehl had been running previously. Visit https://reamixed.com for more details.

Re: HOT mix/mastering levels and streaming services
I think you might be bumping into the 'loudness penalty.' Check out this site: https://www.loudnesspenalty.com/ Basically if your tracks are going over a certain average loudness they will get turned down by most services. IF you're targeting specifically Spotify you can try to adjust your mixes so ...

Re: Trying to recreate Camel Crusher
The free effects at http://klanghelm.com might do what you want. IVGI offers a lot of saturation color and MJUCjr and DC1A primarily compress but also saturate a bit. Their paid effects are affordable and even better (more options at least).

Re: I highly recommend REAPER
I love reaper and wholeheartedly endorse giving it a try. To see how you like the EQ can try using it's as a free vst plugin along with some other of it's basic effects: https://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/

Re: Time for some home studio upgrades...help me spend $10K
What’s the issue with the Neve 1073 500 stuff? Almost thought about grabbing one as a change of flavor to the CAPIs I’ve got coming... Almost went with 2 Tonelux EQ5Ps for stereo EQs. But I couldn’t find enough talk about them anywhere. The demos I listened to sounded good. Anyone have any opinions...

too long. I hold on to them for the move I've been expecting to make for the last nine years.

Re: Using reverb to differentiate lead and backing vocals
Something I tried recently I liked:
Quiet verse vocals went into a small room reverb
Snare also went into the room reverb
chorus lead vocals and backing vocals went into a plate reverb panned hard left, and a hall reverb panned hard right.

Re: the return of the ubertar ribbon mic
I'll take 2 and I can pay! Lol. I find myself using this old school TOMB deep cut with friends and family and they just look at me funny, or funnier than usual. One of the two TOMB ribbon mics I got in the group buy is still working nicely and is a favorite of the singer in my band. I'm tempted to ...

Try disabling the automatic driver update, then you should be able to uninstall and reinstall your preferred driver:

Re: gadgetlabs wavepro drivers for Windows 10???
I'm quite happy with the Focusrite clarett USB. The mic pres are surprisingly good for the price, and I can do very low latency as long as I'm not going too crazy with plugins. Not bad for a 6-year old laptop. I had the Focusrite scarlett before hand and was less impressed with the sound quality, th...

Re: Mixing a band with a single, mono electric guitar
I've been digging using 2 coincident mics, a dynamic or ribbon pointed dead center and a condenser (in figure 8 if I want a little more room sound) pointed 45 degrees off. I'll pan them slightly apart, and compress and eq as a group so that I don't mess up the phase coherency.

Re: Sytek no longer making the MPX 4aii?
I've got 2 stock channels, 2 J-fet, I tend to use the j-fet channels with things where the highs need a little taming, a screechy violin or overly sizzly snare, or a kick that needs fattening.
