i'm working on a project right now and I turned off the master processing to hear how the mix sounds without it, and WOW.....those are some loud drums and vocals. if it changes that much that's a lotta compression you got on the mix buss. if that's the sound your going for, then you have to have a ...

Just so I am clear for you all.... I mix in mastering mode, but I don't actually burn the master with the processing on. After I'm thru with all the mixes, I then put them into another session, and then the final mastering process begins. The cool thing is I already know my mixes are good going into...

I was by no means telling anyone to master as they go, unless they know what there doing. I had the great opportunity back in my band days to have a record mixed by Andy Wallace. i spent 3 weeks with him in New Jersey and watched his every move.

I wish I still had it!

Thanks to all of you for replying! I just got some interesting information from an old brocasting engineer that swears by the old RCA mics. To make a short story long....... I was doing a search on the old Gates Radio Company because I have a old tube preamp from the the late 30's-early 40's that I ...

I have a question for all you ribbonheads. I just recently bought a RCA 74b and the sound is amazing, but there is a good amount of noise (hissing) coming from the mic. I'm running it through a Focusrite Red 1, and of course I'm having to run the input at full throttle. The Red 1 is super clean, so ...
