Re: Tricky mastering question

Fix it in the mix. Yep... After a trip back to the mix, i realised the vocals might have been too compressed on the mix stage, and when i recompress the whole thing in the mastering stage, they bring the whole song down. fuck. getting a song out yourself is really like riding a road full of unexpec...

Re: Tricky mastering question

Hey guys, thanx a lot to all of you, some really useful tips in here! I indeed am relatively happy with the mix, sounds good and i wanna keep it a little raw and homemade (its pop, rock, indie, electro, blabla, whatever, doesnt need to be ultra clean like house or smtg) so i believe its quite master...

Live half-working features

Hi! I hope Live 9 is far far far away. When the Abes are done fixing Live's stability, they'll have to continue improving all the plethora of half-working features that's been piling up in Live over the years. So just to help them make a priority list, what's your favorite half-working feature in Li...

Re: The ideal sample rate / bit depth

Re: The ideal sample rate / bit depth

well thats the thing, i'd like to keep it as open as possible... produce some nice sounding mp3's, CD, why not film? What would be safer then? 32/41000? 32/192000? Maybe it's because im not used to it, but i get the sensation that higher sample rates are supposed to give better quality but im afraid...

Re: Films with great NON-electronic soundtracks

Almost all great soundtracks are NON-electronic, no?

except Blade Runner, i can't think of a single great electronic original soundtrack...
Maybe The Bourne Identity's eurotrash tunes? ;)
