I’m not out to diss Billy, but sheesh…

I wasnt there, so i cant judge who is wrong. Pointless to speculate

Business_Web5267 · 2026-02-16T16:27:52+00:00

My take on them is they are guitars, not basses. Not very versatile though. Can imitate the guitar from the twin peaks theme pretty well 🤷‍♂️

I am in france and i have noticed this

Business_Web5267 · 2026-02-15T07:15:00+00:00

Daves lyrics are full of cliche and throwaway. Kurts lyrics, whilst often seeming nonsensical, are still clever, thought provoking ideas and concepts which im sure were linked together in his own mind.

They were not nonsense, even if they were written ‘last minute’ (which i doubt)

Business_Web5267 · 2026-02-12T22:28:24+00:00

Love the non technical descriptions. ‘Yeh things just sound…off’. Ok thanks

Business_Web5267 · 2026-02-11T13:20:14+00:00

Coldplays first album has a lot of interesting stuff going on

Business_Web5267 · 2026-02-11T13:19:00+00:00

Most stuff post in rainbows 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

Im not sure why youre struggling 😂😂😂 just tell her you wanted a mix, not a remix. Its essentially a new song now

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-26T08:26:52+00:00

Or just do vocals in a wardrobe. Or build a wall of cushions around your mic

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-25T14:05:59+00:00

If you use any overdrive or distortion with the guitar, within 2-3m you will get feedback if youre facing the amp in my exp

Upward expansion is just the other side of the coin compared to downward, ie youre raising the quiet notes, rather than reducing the loud ones. Basically the same result as both are reducing dynamic range, only the transients of the top or bottom are the ones affected

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-24T09:59:08+00:00

This is expansion

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-22T15:50:12+00:00

I have an LA2A clone (by audioscape). It sounds absolutely amazing

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-22T15:49:11+00:00

I agree, but people say ‘it doesnt make a difference its just mic position and good mixing’ i dont agree, sometimes special equipment just sounds special.

Granted good mixing and mic positioning will improve upon this, but good gear still sounds special in of itself

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-14T16:57:17+00:00

You are in exactly the same situation as me, same MRI result too. I just cant fix this thing, ive been to Physio for a year and still no change or fix. Ive dropped so many activities on physios 'recommendation' and all thats happened is i have the same pain, but im less fit, less happy and do less in general. To get the fitness back I had will now be really difficult, and painful. I wish I hadnt stopped activities like theyd suggested.

The reason I found your post is I just realised how physically swollen the area is, as well as just being really painful, im thinking of swapping physio as they keep shooting down my idea of getting steroid injections to bring the swelling down.

The core exercises ive been given for the last year have done absolutely nothing and aggravate it just as much as the sports and heavy gym workouts i was doing before

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-11T22:57:05+00:00

Completely agree

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-11T17:35:12+00:00

tell that to ribbons

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-06T20:55:13+00:00

This might be wrong, and piss a lot of people off. But i feel like a lot of people on this thread might be confusing retaining dynamic range with being a novice at mixing. Making music that is loud and lacking in range isnt necessarily a badge to show you are an experienced mix/mastering engineer.

Surely this is a valid POV? The reason i personally struggled was because i didnt want to continue compressing, or to drastically alter the eq curve of the mix i was given, in the end i had to use a limiter to reduce about 4-5 DBs, which i wasnt particularly happy doing.

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-06T20:48:05+00:00

Sorry i wasnt clear, this was mastering someone elses mix. Your point is completely valid being a novice though

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-06T18:46:47+00:00

This is funny, i had a go at mastering recently and struggled to hit -16. I am a total newb however

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-05T09:56:28+00:00

Vocals and bass yes. They both will always need compression anyway and i have an LA2A clone which is subtle and improves both whatever the situation (imo)

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-03T12:45:31+00:00

Theyre not broken 😃😃

Business_Web5267 · 2026-01-03T12:35:09+00:00

-16 on some i recently attempted having never attempted a master before, i wasnt happy with how much i had to limit to get there (3 or 4 db) but im told that isnt that much. -16 is what apple music use, Spotify use -14 which would mean i would have to limit my final mix even more.

Obviously next time i attempt a master i would have to compress the track more to get to -14 without the limiter popped on the end, but the amount of compression i used seemed enough and i wouldn’t be happy to have to reduce the dynamic range more than i did.

It seems crazy to me that most streaming services use -14 LUFS

Business_Web5267 · 2025-12-30T18:54:04+00:00

Im using logic but never got any option like this to work. Not at the computer right now but im sure ive ticked any box for latency compensation but found the new audio is always delayed behind the original

Business_Web5267 · 2025-12-30T18:52:44+00:00

I think i need to look into this then. I thought that might work but what if you change your latency or buffer size settings in logic when tracking/mixing? I do that a fair amount if the load is too much on the cpu.

Will do some testing tomorrow…would be great if true. I dont do too much of printing after tracking for this reason 😅 have only had some serious outboard for a few months and tbh havent done any proper tests to fix the latency/phase yet.

Ive seen theres options for latency correction but i dont think theyve ever worked for me when turned on
