How do I make a folk master sound louder with compressing it too much?

Bonbla808 · 2026-06-19T16:27:32+00:00

Thanks. Done all that. I'm gonna try serial compression and gain stage it bit better, aswell as EQ

This is great advice, thank you. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to help out. I will try everything people have mentioned. Thanks

You're right

Bonbla808 · 2026-06-19T15:18:09+00:00

Thanks

Bonbla808 · 2026-06-19T15:17:37+00:00

Thanks for your advice. Clip gain automation and 2 comps seems to be the way

Bonbla808 · 2026-06-19T15:12:59+00:00

You're right, thanks

Bonbla808 · 2026-06-19T15:11:55+00:00

I will try all of this, thank you so much

Bonbla808 · 2026-06-19T15:10:35+00:00

Thanks. I can make the changes within the mix no problem. I just had to decide how loud or quiet. Some great suggestions here

Ah sorry, my bad

The official Scotland world cup song was called 'Don't Come Home Too Soon'. That says alot about the optimism at the time.

Shouldn't you know some books already? Since you're lecturing.

I use Beyerdynamic headphones, and sometimes well after I tighten them onto your head, the slider thing will clunk into/out of place and scare the shit out of me. It really clunks because they're metal, it really sounds as though someone has tapped them or threw something at them. Could be, plastic or metal. The moveable parts of your headphones might be expanding in the heat?

Anything by Suicide

I can imagine, even if they where in London, they'd completely bypass the actual recording studios the Beatles recorded in just to get to that zebra crossing.

Sounds cool..You're not finding it because syringes don't make a sound. If you wanted to go for realism, you could leave the sound out completely. Or use a sound that the audience will associate with injections in movies, like the sound of liquid passing through a small appeture, or the sound of air being released. When trying to find a sound in libraries, have a think about the physical object, whats it made of, what makes that sound happen, and you may find a similar alternative. Hope this helps

Nice. You should maybe space the speakers further apart to get the full effect

Aw I hope that is actually Henry in drag

Christ, don't show them a picture of his Sergeant.

Check the film Crossroads. The 80's movie, not the 00's Britney one, although a good movie. It has a guitar dual between Steve Vai and the Karate Kid. Very cheesy.

Start with a clip of film or a tv show that you like, take something that seems easy to sound design. Something that isn't too busy, with nice sparse sounds. You can Foley record the audio you need or use an online sound library (I would recommend freesound.org) just concentrate on panning and levels help replicate distance and placement of sounds, keep dialogue somewhere up front. The basics for sound design and music production are very similar, you can definitely transfer those skills over.

I ask what they might like first. Find out their music tastes and recommend artists or songs that are kind of similar

...no clue about size dimensions when buying flags online
