Music/Radio / Re: Mastering Tips For Producers And Sound Engineers by Michael13(m): 8:12am On Mar 12, 2016 |
overboard: Alright, I'd start by testing a dry signal by removing the Dbx Compressor, maybe compare it later...and I'l also keep in mind that I cut out too much sensitive frequencies from the vocals and focus more on clashing frequencies. Thanks for your time. |

overboard: Firstly, The main problem I have with the track is perceived loudness, especially when I play the track back to back with other commercial songs. When I played the track on a friend's sound system and then played Yung6's Example track, i noticed that my track wasn't loud enough. Also, my friend said the vocal is quite low and thinned out, just like you pointed out. I use a RODE NT2-A Microphone and yeah it doesn't go through a pre-amp but I pass my signal from the mic to a dbx Compressor to maintain a fairly constant volume and pass the signal to my Focusrite Soundcard which then feeds into the computer. Also I have a hard time controlling or monitoring my sub bass, so I rely heavily on a spectrum analyzer to see whats happening down there, though I use a Yamaha H-7 Monitors, but to be honest I feel deceived with the low signal on these monitors, so most times I tend to over compensate the bass and sub-bass. I would like to ask, If you feel the track is loud enough or if it needs more volume boost (limiting). Thanks for your time |

apholaryn: overboard: Here is a link to a mix i recently made http://tindeck.com/listen/uzvvg And here is the same mix after mastering http://tindeck.com/listen/obtap Thanks |

overboard: Thanks for this useful tip. Though during mixing I barely have any processing going on the master bus. Except when I'm applying a filter automation to the whole track, in which case I create a sub-group and then pass all the other bus to this sub-group and then route the sub-group to my master bus |

overboard: I always love to mix nd master my tracks within a single project.... It allows me to be flexible and I cld easily correct my mix during the mastering stage. However, most times I tend to bounce to 32bits wave when I experience latency issues.....this happens most times when I use the maximizer in Ozone with the IRCIII settings overboard: Sure I do leave a minimum of at least a -0.1db But most times when I make an instrumental (especially free instrumentals in which I have no control over who tends to use it), I tend to leave a minimum of 1db to 3db. This is to give space for vocals to sit on it. And I'm still trying to upload a reference mix. Glo and their crappy network. Thanks |
Music/Radio / Re: Mastering Tips For Producers And Sound Engineers by Michael13(m): 11:40pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
overboard: Thanks As for my mix...it all depends on the kind of track, but I usually start off with an EQ followed by a compressor depending on how large the dynamic range is. Then I conclude the mix with effects if needed (Reverb, Delay etc) As for mastering chain I start off first with 1. EQ I do some mid-side eqing 2. Multiband Compression I try to control the dynamics of the desired frequency band 3. Stereeo Imaging I make sure the low end is close to being mono while I spread highs and mids evenly 4. Limiting This is were I boost the overall Loudness of the track I'd sure send a link to a copy of my mix before morning Thanks for your time |

Music/Radio / Mastering Tips For Producers And Sound Engineers by Michael13(m): 12:55pm On Mar 03, 2016 |
What's up guys....been a while. I'm an upcoming producer and I'm also delving into sound engineering.... Whilst the music production aspect of making music is almost 90% fun for me, I can't say same for the engineering aspect. Although most of the times I sha enjoy mixing a track. The reason I'm starting this thread is for any producer/sound engineer who has useful tips concerning mixing and mastering a track, cos i just delved into mastering and to be honest, it hasn't been easy. I watch tutorials online...yet for some reasons when I play my tracks back to back with another commercial track, I'm just not happy with the result. I know the issues about the Loudness Wars....and I try to keep as much dynamics as I can keep in a track while trying to make my track compete at least to a certain db with all the radio/commercial released songs out there. For the records my work station is a 3.5Ghz 8Gb Ram 1 TB Hdd Windows 7 Machine While the DAW I use includes FL 12 Cubase (I barely use cubase tho, I tend to make all my tracks in FL, beats, vocals and all. I know some might say its unprofessional but that's what I'm comfortable with) The vsti I use during mixing ranges from Ozone 5,6,7. Fabfilter. T Racks to Waves 9 Bundle. Any useful tip would be appreciated. Thanks |
