Mixing/Mastering / Mixing at consistent levels
« on: January 14, 2016, 12:47:10 pm »
When you're doing a mixdown,do you change the master/audio card level often? or do you mixdown without touching the master ever?

I find it helps not to touch the master while you're mixing.

Your mix might sound great at low levels,but when you raise the levels a wee bit you then realise that your mix isn't as good as you thought.

Thoughts?

Mixing/Mastering / Re: Mixing other people's tunes

I only mix and master my own tunes and the tunes of some clos friends.

It might be good idea to ask for a reference mix/master they really like. Talk about the loudness wars and what they expect about that.

Encourage them to be honest about your mixes and masterings, you can and will learn from them.
See when its for friends they will be honest,but when you're paying for master,the guy mastering it is usually never honest..He just wants his money. Thats what I've found..

You can still layer by just panning the one instance though. You can still build a strong wall..

Random thought: There could be a function that allows you to put your skype name on your profile so others can add you and talk about techniques. Would help people who want to get in touch with each other speed up the process.
Be very useful alright, making friends is crucial imo.

Agreed, but compression can really give it that punch,it may be quite subtle but can have a huge impact on the overall sound.

I think there isn't a specific technique that will get you there. It is a combination of great chords, clever layering, great mixing and in the end a pretty loud master.

For example in his track '43' on that huge second drop there isn't really a lot going on: you have the kick, drums, bass, his amazing chords, white noise and some background atmospheric elements. However, each sound plays its role perfectly. In this genre, reverb plays a pretty big role, I think that ArtsAcoustic reverb or Valhalla will work pretty good.

It's all about filing the frequency spectrum correctly and giving each element it's own space and role. When you combine all that, you get a huge wall of sound.

That and multiband compression or even limiting I'd imagine.

If you don't pan, you're tracks are going to sound kind of flat. When I produce, two of my goals are to make the EQ glow and the imager full.
Think you misunderstood,of course I pan,just not elements that are different. Only ones that are the exact same.

Don't just watch the videos,apply them straight after watching or during,helps the information sink in.

Mixing/Mastering / Panning Different intances L & R
« on: January 08, 2016, 06:42:19 pm »
Sometimes I see people panning say Lead 1 (Saw pluck) and Left Lead 2 (Square pluck) Right.

I've always been against panning different elements.

Thoughts on this?

Finished Tracks / Re: Nils Frahm - Keep (Sal Sonder Bootleg Remix)
« on: January 08, 2016, 03:08:54 pm »
Hey dude,nice vibe to the track.

Some feedback -

The bass could do with some more processing,SC,some eqing and maybe some compression to make a bit fatter and tighter.
The perc could be a little stronger and have more drive too.
Melody is alright too :)
