Hey peops!
Maybe the stupidest question ever, but, Im mixing a new track. Would it be wrong of me to automate the eq at different points in a track from section to section in the same song? would this take away some common feel to each individual track?

It may not be apparent to the general ...

Hey guys

Im really trying my hardest to start selling music and sound design audio samples to companies for jingles, radio idents, gaming, motion picture, web based stuff etc. I'm really in the dark regarding licensing, pricing and approaching companies. Should I upload music to online servers that ...

Okay guys really much appreciated for taking some time and giving me a bit of advice. Ill start doing a lot of what everyone's saying. I guess my biggest problem is I concentrate all my efforts on one track at a time and end up listening to it to much and sometimes can't get motivated to get in the ...

hey people

this may be a stupid question but it seems like its taking me forever to produce a song. Iv been producing properly a few months now. my first two tracks took around a month each. My last track 3 months and now it appears Iv spent 3 months on a new song Im producing and I'm still writing ...

Okay cool. Cheers for the advice =)

yeah I get what your both saying. I generally do use a utility plugin on the master track to adjust the balance from section to section, but what I mean is, is it bad practise to adjust volumes with the utility on the master rather than balancing volumes on each individual track as the song goes ...

Hey people
Quick question as I don't know if this is a bad thing to do. Volumes change between section to section, and I do really want them balanced to help keep the mix loud for when it comes to the master. Is it a bad idea doing this or should I really just adjust the volumes of each individual ...

also, would tuning the rest of the drum samples help? like the snare, hats etc?

yeah sweet, Iv been researching lots on it as my kicks aren't really punching out recently, I'm not really trying to say that you have to do what he's saying, I'm just experimenting. Yeah I'll try that trick on my next one cheers =]

Hey people! Iv been watching the David Guetta Master class and at the start he talks about kick drums saying you need a high and a low kick drum. In my productions I use a single kick sample and eq the low around 70hz, take out most the mids and add a peak around 11-12k. Iv experimented another way ...

should keep u bz for a while... :wink:

To guys

I'm looking for some hinters on how to get good at sound design. Regarding processing with live I'm fine, it's using synths. I'm using massive and FM8, I know them inside out but Im hearing sounds I want to patch up but the majority of the time I can't get the sound I want.

Iv watched ...

Hey guys
