Guys, I really believe most of you are super overthinking this.
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
i am a firm believer that the less you know about music theory the more you are creating from the heart.Yeah I think that's a romantic notion that is not true at all.
To add more confusion to this: A shitty or mediocre monitor controller can sound different on low levels than higher levels (especially stereo-image), that's why in my opinion the really good monitor controllers start at 1000$$ plus - but they will sound (pretty much) exactly the same on low volume as they do on loud...That's not the case in my experience. When I chose my monitors, I tested among others Mackie HR824s. They're a true studio classic, one of the highest rated and most popular models. They sounded amazing, but only at volumes higher than what would be appropriate in a bedroom studio, among neighbours. That's the one thing that made me choose something else
I'd think I'd want all the layers sidechained the same.
What's important is that your kick and sub bass don't occupy the same frequency, at least not without some good sidechain compressionNot at the same time, I'd say.
I tried starting off mixing by turning the faders down to achieve headroom of about -6dB, but the volume would be too low for me to hear the effects. Now I just mix it at a volume loud enough to hear what I'm doing and then scale them all down until the master gets to -6dB.I'm a little confused... Can you not turn up your overall volume, like on your sound card/monitors?
