Re: Quirky Mastering Situation
+1 on Karl's suggestion. I wonder if YouTube has a built in HPF that prevents your speaker from overloading the way your master seems to be. The YouTube conversion does have filtering, ant it probably is on both ends of the spectrum, lowering the extreme low and high frequencies in order that the C...

Re: How to structure a multi-part session
Very helpful, Nick. When you say "additional tracks", do you mean you're adding some compression/eq to kick and snare, or setting up a drum bus? I sometimes will create a group buss, send a submix of the drumkit, and compress and EQ it, and record it. Especially if there is an exotic or rare compre...

Re: How to structure a multi-part session
When I do recordings of bands, which are like this, multi day, I always always always spend the first day(s) getting the recording sounds. Drums first if possible, followed by the basic bass, rhythm guitar, keyboards, and at least a scratch vocal. Depending on their budget and time, I try to nail th...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
My really great 2Ubes VTX tube mic preamp. Made by hand by my friend Larry Janus. Crazy good, and it has WiFi, so I can change the settings from my phone while adjusting a microphone in the other room or across the room. Has a great sound. At some point, I'll be getting a 2nd one. Great on electric ...

Re: Drum OH's, only
I'd recommend some AKG 451s. Or AKG 414s. The trick is to listen to the placement, so you get the kick and snare in the middle of your Stereo image. After that, you can EQ and compress a bit until the kit sounds balanced. I don't like ribbons on percussions, they can and do tend to smush transients,...

Re: Quirky Mastering Situation
I'd ask this:
What is the best playback system you have, and can you somehow play what the ME sent back to you on that?
What other high quality material can you play back?
Is this BT speaker the only thing you have to play back stuff with?

I did get your message, but it was deleted, so I could not read it.
My storage is only around 7% full.

Re: DAW Tracking Levels too hot?? Looking for guidance & resources
However, I see now that you can calibrate "0 db = _____ dBFS" !!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD HAVE IN BLANK "____dBFS"!!! Hi Trodden, Here, I have my consoles "above zero dB" set to match on my converters. My A&H console has +16 dB metering peak at the mix buss, and the direct outs are a little hott...

Re: Wilco cover band?
Maybe point me in a direction you like. I imagine they've been around a while. I’m not the OP, but if they’re on the same page as me, Wilco-wise, I’d tell you to start with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and then move on to A Ghost is Born, and Sky Blue Sky. Wilco does have a shit-ton of material out there,...

Re: Tell us about your 2023 wrap-up
Did not work much as an audio engineer, did a few EP projects and a few album mixes. Personal and family stuff came first, and always will. This year hoping it is better business wise. I'm developing a product related to guitar pedals, should be advertised on TapeOp soon. Also joined Amazon Audible ...
