I've done this for years with my own parallel chain of transient designer, filter/EQ and saturation/distortion (and even a gate/expander in there...
Yes. You are doing it wrong. First, learn simple gain-staging. This is very important to learn. Then create a great mix where you have some...
Commodore 64 days were the best! Great memories. Those loading times taught me to be patient ('til this day).
First of all, the tracks contain distortion and contrasting elements (during production/mixing, that don't overlap/mask too much) which ups the...
Sorry for nitpicking, but I think you mean multitracks and not stems.
This is such a broad question, as there are hundreds of "mixing- and compositional tricks" to create dynamics, contrasts, space, width and depth,...
Anyone mentioned Oeksound Spiff already?
xoxos Steam (32bit VSTi, jBridge'able). Lovely little obscure gem for weird noises. https://plugins4free.com/plugin/328/ Edit: Oh, and Aalto from...
It starts with recording and mixing. Ofc (during mixing preferably) plugins like ApQualizr2, Soothe2, Trackspacer, Nugen Stereoplacer, etc will...
Can you rephrase the question? Do you mean you want to imitate the frequency spectrum and volume of Mid and Sides individually? Frequency spectrum...
Came to think of it: During 2018/19 or so I was sick of snaps. They were everywhere, as if they had replaced snares. Then over the course of a...
Automation, limiting (not 10dB GR though), EQ and dynamic EQ (focusing in on that 800-2k area which is "upfront"), compression and parallell...
Optimize your OS for audio production. Overclock your CPU. Max out the buffer size on your audio interface. Remove/disable processes running in...
Ah, it's a damn trick question. :) You can side-chain a gate, and then it becomes a jumping ostrich.
Neither. Both needs more mids, less 150 body/mud, more bite, etc. Also, it's more about context and what happens in the rest of the mix, but this...
Woah! Part of me is going "Cool!" because I'm a curious 48yo. But another part of me go "NooOoo!1!!!" because my brain realizes that it took me...
1) Get something like ApQualizr2, Kirchoff or Pro-Q3. 2) Learn frequencies. 3) Practice, practice, practice. 4) ???????????????????? 5)...
As I corrected myself: it's a shelf. The Pultec EQ uses a bell.
I stay away from Acoustica Audio and other bloat. But that's just me. But thanks for the additional suggestion, if I run low on air EQs and air...
Dolby 361A, or the software version of it (AudioThing Type-A or Overloud Gem Dopamine). There's also Mäag EQ4 with the wide bell at 40k or 20k,...
