Mixing/Mastering / Re: Mixing quick tip with Pink Noise
« on: January 11, 2016, 01:36:50 pm »This is not a bad idea, but it is really not a good one either. If you look at the Pink Noise spectrum he showed. it's boosted on bass. Which is dangerous, first because it could break your ears, then second because it will break your gear. Low frequencies have more power than mid/high.
For example, if a track has too much low, you'll hear perfectly, but if it has too much high, you probably won't notice it or it will be hard.
but afaik, the lower the frequency, the more db it needs to match the higher frequencies :/
idk i read it somewhere. probably bogus

Mixing/Mastering / Re: Is mastering always neccesary?
« on: January 11, 2016, 01:34:00 pm »I personally just mix mine and then throw a limiter on, so I guess I don't really "master" either. However, when I send my music to mastering, they never really make any changes to it, only difference is that they probably drive it into an analog console to bring up the volume instead of my supposedly shabby digital processing.
Yeah I remember you telling me on Skype or a stream that all you need is Pro-L and mastering is done. Really changed my approach to it all and that's what i've been doing ever since
because mastering's not supposed to affect the sound so much (at least not as much as mixing)
i'm kinda curious about why so many people prefer Pro-L

Mixing/Mastering / Re: Making a mix sound fuller
« on: January 11, 2016, 06:06:22 am »I think a good question is: what should a full frequency spectrum look like?
I can look at the spectrum anlyzer, but how do I know what is lacking?
maybe if it's kinda hard, you should do a filter and analyze them on separate freq range. i normally screenshot some of my fav songs on 20-100 hz, then on 100-500 hz, etc etc (using SPAN + stereo imager that has visual, like ozone 7). then compare it to how my mix is currently

Mixing/Mastering / Re: Mixing the bass with the sub
« on: January 11, 2016, 06:02:33 am »As I posted in the "EQUING the kick" thread - treat your room first (acoustically - bass traps for example) and it will help you make better decisions on that.
This.
I always couldn't really get the kick and the sub right and thought I was doing something wrong. It really got me frustrated!!!
a couple months later I met a guy who's into music as well and moved over to his house. He got his entire room treated (self-made under 500 euro) and I could instantly hear everything much, much better. Guess what, I had little problem getting the Kick & Sub sound good at his place, but not only that.. I could hear everything much better!
You can buy all the best stuff in the world, but for me acoustic treatment would be number one. Even cheap monitor speakers can sound good! :-)
i know right ! i use that egg shell looking foam + moved my pc to somewhere near the middle of the room. that shit changed how my krk 5 sounds like

Mixing/Mastering / Re: What are the benefits of adding white noise to your mix?
« on: January 11, 2016, 06:00:16 am »
the feels ! if the white noise is added on big room tracks, it'll create an impactful effect
if it's on something like tycho, probably for that old feeling or something

it's just that the lower the frequency, the bigger chance of it having more db. but dont overdo it as to change the sound. make sure the sound stays the same after you high pass that

Inspiration/Creativity/Motivation / Re: How to relate your emotions to your music?
« on: January 10, 2016, 06:02:18 am »
try to listen to songs that you really really really like, and try to analyze the "why" you liked it. it could be the production value/something similiar. but if it happens to be that you felt something bcs of it, then try to write/understand what that is you're feeling. after that proceed to : how it happened

Samples/Plugins/Software/Gear / Re: Looking to switch to a new DAW from Logic
« on: January 10, 2016, 05:51:20 am »FL Studio 12 is a great DAW. Anyone can use it. And since all DAWs do mostly the same thing, it's just learning the process by which those things are done, and Image-Line makes that very easy. The GUI is indeed very fun, and inviting. Especially if you have it set to "Entertain Me"
fl chan for life
but, don't you think the "entertain me" is a bit distracting ? especially if you wanted to work fast ? hm is it just me because i set it to the lowest "don't distract me" :/

Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Re: How many layers should a finished song have?
« on: January 10, 2016, 05:47:50 am »So many people like to brag about that fact that they have 300+ layers and 400+ hours on a song but it honestly does not matter at all. There shouldn't be limit either way. It took me a while to learn that complexity doesn't equal quality.
whoaaaaa nicely said
yea me 2 i think you shouldn't care at all about layers' quantity

« on: January 10, 2016, 05:44:29 am »
i know right ?! this forum is so so so good. but mixing tips and guidelines shouldn't keep you from channeling ideas and feelings, because music is ultimately about feelings/emotions rather than quality production~~

Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Re: Repetition: How Much is Too Much?
« on: January 10, 2016, 05:40:22 am »My two cents: Totally depends on the style of music - if you're going for vibe/atmosphere music like ambient or clubby music then lots of repetition is crucial to make those subtle changes drive the song and to make the 'drop' hit effectively. But in other genres that demand constant focus on the music, lots of repetition can lose the energy and focus of the song.
yea~ like the current future bass. repetition can't happen that much. even chord progression can't resolve (well it can but something else can't)
