There's also that trick to focus the master bus comp on the mid/high only to give your mix more low end weight. You can see it being done here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IXjtqkVrCs Ryan uses the Synapse AF-4 but it can be done using the stereo imager split outs. I use a similar technique all...

Very cool! I thought they (hitmakers of days gone by) were using the Master Bus Compressor with the slowest release though not the fastest? I may have misread. From the earliest days in my experience (1984 onward), I’ve seen (and used) the fastest release on pop/rock etc. and auto-release on ambien...

I just did a Black Lion Audio upgrade on my Focusrite Scarlett ($500). A lot of the work was on the front end but they also did a de-coupling procedure on the output side. IDK it does sound clearer and the first mix I did on it, I nailed after 2 passes (an alltime record for me). I don't know if it'...

Thank you Boss!! I feel kinda dumb I even checked there. This helps me so much for some reason.

Lately I noticed my Europa doesn't default to the "FACT lead" patch like it used to, then I noticed none of my other instruments do, (no more Epic Poly on Thor)...does anybody know how to change this back? Thank you

I don't do any EQ on the master any more I fix it in the mix. I do however use the GQ-7 for a high cut and low cut (many different slope options if you're in to that) before the Limiter. Which it's really nice on.

They are very clever with the cut of the wood, designed to pack very flat by having interlocking pieces.

Does the wood have any kind of overpowering smell?

Thats definitely a great value. I just wish the pillars under the monitor shelf were vertical instead of slanted so as to be flush against my rackmount soundcard (which I don't rack in I just leave it on the desk surface). But I the price is definitely right lol Edit: I see how how the rack system ...

This would be my first choice (or the 61 key version) if I need to get a desk today https://rabaudio.com/cart?olsPage=products%2Fprorak-61 You can get more desk for far less $$ with this option (I have one and LOVE it!): https://output.com/products/platform?gclid=CjwKCAjwq_vWBRACEiwAEReprAOJyq6kEFC...

I find that a lot of the patches "disappear" (not really but almost) when you hear them in mono. I really have to be mindful of stereo width and level with this RE. Might be something to do with poor mic placement when they recorded it.

Cool I was worried because sometimes if my mix starts to run too hot I'll just group everything to one channel and lower it (instead of lowering each fader individually). On a brighter not I just got my first placement with a rapper Royce da 5'9 so super stoked on that! You and this forum have help...

I’m not even sure it totally matters in analog. What matters is the signal level, not where the fader of knob is positioned! Levels are EVERYTHING in analog, and only a little less important in digital. But some folks get all caught up in where the knob or fader is positioned, which is only a part ...

OK well that's a relief as I don't have to frantically review my mixes. I can see how it would make sense in Analog but the book didn't really explain why it would matter in Digital - btw its "The Mixing Engineer's Handbook Second Edition" by Bobby Owsinski. Thank you for the reassurance Selig.

I'm reading a book published in '06 that says "One rule exists in the analog world that apltly applies to digital too: The level of the channel faders should always stay below the subgroup or master fader". Reason being "just a single channel with big chunks of EQ or an insert with an effects plug i...

Jazz is like any genre in my opinion - 25% of it is gold and the rest is so-so at best. If you can listen to Wes Montgomery "Full House" and tell me you think it sucks and is boring, I would accuse you of being born with no rhythm or soul

Anybody know if $150 for a contract review from a legitimate entertainment lawyer is fair? Seems to be.

Thank you. Dumb question but what is a PRO?

Performing Rights Organization. In the US we have BMI and ASCAP.

Oh ok gotcha we got that covered already thank you sir.

You can just use your own name. Make sure you’re signed up for a PRO. As far as taxes, you’ll be personally liable for them. Setting up a company can be helpful regarding how taxes are handled (ie I’m no expert on that) as you can pay yourself as an employee, but you and your company would still be...

I was recently offered a non-exclusive publishing deal for a song. About to sign the contract. This is the first check I would be receiving and I was wondering do I need to start an LLC or some kind of official production company and make that the payee or can I use my first and last name and deposi...

Does anyone else here own omnisphere 2? I just recently purchased and installed it and I honestly must be missing something. The sounds aren't bad at all but they just seem so ordinary. I read tons of reviews raving about how unique it is and how powerful it is and how people were utterly blown awa...

Q: Here is the response I got from Gospel Musicians: Neo-Soul Keys is not compatible with Reason. It never was and it is stated in our specs. Reason is not a “normal” DAW. It doesn’t read VST/AU like the rest of the the other sequencers. It’s incredibly hard for developers to make VSTs to be compat...
