Automations. That's what I do (almost daily) when mastering songs/tracks. You can automate the dynamic progression to taste.
No one has explained why there is a click: It's due to fast amplitude change. Going from silent to loud very quickly, creating a (higher...
No. No difference.
Sorry to hear you are still using a sad CRT screen. Yes, they radiate loads of EMI. Time to get a "better" screen.
Thing to remember is that a noise-gate doesn't remove the noise while you are playing, since it's still there. It's better to reduce the actual...
Interference. Bad grounding. Make sure your grounding is on point. You can also shield your cavities and pickguard with copper tape against EMI...
There are pros and cons in all software, sure. Whatever floats your boat. Look into Affinity series.
Hiss? Hum? Removing noise spectrally (FFT) with something like iZotope RX10 (spectral de-noise) will alter the tone in one way or another....
Learn the basics first (intersample peaks). Also, it's "limiter". Not "limitor"....
Any cheap Ibanez, Yamaha or Squier bass. Turn tone knob up all the way, play with pick, distort, compress and EQ. It's a typical smiley-face...
Your headroom is the least affected part. It's upping the lower dynamics, inbetween peaks/hits, and thus upping the percieved loudness. It's...
"Air" is high-end exciter/compressor. It's not reverberance. Because reverb is rarely used during the mastering stage, and the reverb module took...
What makes you think the reverbis applied on the master? Does everything have the same (equal amount) room/reverb?
EQ, saturation, limiter, layer/trigger transient, trigger room sample, subkick/trigger sub frequency (as above), etc. It's also a matter of...
I think you are overthinking mastering. Pumping (sidechain compression), EQs, filters, reverbs are all in the composition, production and mix....
My dad dragged me along to recording studios when I was about 3-4yo. He also rehearsed and recorded with his band in the basement of our house...
Reverb (shimmer). Try Eventide Blackhole or ValhallaShimmer (on pads, piano and flute - like in the video).
That's what I meant and took it for granted, hence why I didn't mentioned it. :like: So, adjust ADSR to taste.
Ah, ok! I thought he wanted to make his own "signature sound". If you zoom in and find a single cycle loop (within the sample) in a sampler, set...
Personally I don't do top-down-mixing. It's not working for me and it's not my workflow. I still have a fixed 2-bus chain with an EQ and...
Separate names with a comma.
