Mixing/Mastering / Re: Adding an EQ on the master = DISTORTION ?
« on: September 29, 2016, 03:14:45 pm »
So I guess it's all about phase shifting, but there's still a big question: which processing mode should we use on the master channel? If "zero latency" and "natural phase" cause the troubles mentioned above... The "linear phase" might sound good, but it introduces pre-ringing.

Mixing/Mastering / Adding an EQ on the master = DISTORTION ?
« on: September 29, 2016, 12:47:10 pm »
I just figured this out by accident. On my latest track, I added a Fabfilter Pro-Q 2 on the master just to do the usual low-cut/high-cut and remove some ringiness. I forgot to do it before I rendered the track, so I re-opened the project and added the EQ. The thing is after I did the eq-ing, my kick started to sound different each time it hited. I thought it might be just in my head, but after several listens, I found out it's not. The eq was affecting my output. And I decided to make a short test.

I took several tracks, applied an EQ plugin on the master channel and (very important) started to low cut/high cut (basically "cut" some frequencies). I was very surprised to see that my master gain blew up by 5-6 dbs over 0! Now the question is... WHY? I didn't add any dbs, didn't boost anything. On contrary, I cutted out some frequencies that weren't needed. I tried this with Fabfilter Pro-Q (1 & 2) and with Ableton's stock EQ Eight. I even tried all the different processing modes from Fabfilter (Zero latency, Natural Phase, Linear Phase). It did the same for the "Zero Latency" and "Natural Phase", but it worked better with the "Linear Phase" mode activated. The thing is the "Linear Phase" adds pre-ringiness, which I obviously don't want.

Can someone please explain the "magic" behind this? Why is the output going red (by so many dbs lol) when doing frequency cuts?

Mixing/Mastering / Linear phase vs Zero latency
« on: February 11, 2016, 01:10:23 pm »
Hi guys, I was wondering how does one avoid pre-ringiness while using the "Linear phase" mode on an EQ (for example Pro-Q). I recently found out from where the pre-ringiness of some of my kicks come from and I decided to change the mode to "Zero latency" because -hey!- there's no ringiness (and also no latency introduced). I heard that if you make some drastic changes with your EQ, it's better to use it on linear phase, but I'm talking here about the final master touches, where I always make very minor tweaks.

What do you think about it?

I love this, this is my opinion but the little tom/kick thing hitting on the 2nd beat and 4th beat is not my style, but I totally love it!

I was actually also looking for his email to send him a couple things but oh well, imma give you a quick look for an email.

Found his promo email (IDK if he reads it or not) info@nickyromero.com

Good luck! Great track!

Thanks man! Not sure what to say about that email though, I don't think he checks it  :-\

Everything sounds super crunchy and the kick sounds like it's punches through nicely. It would have been really cool if the vocal was sent through a vocoder or something to give the break a bit more character.

Yep, that's how I wanted it to be: crunchy, distorted and dirty. Unfortunately, I couldn't mess up that much with the vocal since it's not an official remix and I don't have the acapella  :-\

Did you max your threshold and put infinite gain on this or something?

Bahahah, this made me laugh  ;D

I want to send this to Nicky, but I simply can't. First because I cannot upload it on SC and send it to Protocol and second because I don't wanna upload it online and send it via that Wavo contest I'm sure he never checks out. So if any of you have any email or something, that would be nice :)

By the way... Thoughts?
