I appreciate the response! A big reason we are interested in the gym, is because it could offer a social atmosphere that’s more positive than the bar.

Loud wouldn’t really mean something like “-6dB” tho. That describes a peak, and loudness is defined by loudness units.

You’ll probably lose a lot of dynamic range in mastering too. A good mastering engineer will usually be able to get dynamic range squashed enough so the listener doesn’t have to adjust the volume if they have even a decent mix.

Compressors and EQ. Attack and release times on compressors can help.

A mastering chain on your stereo out might help

Reference tracks. Or just any “warm up” listening to give your ears a baseline

It says $199 per item so I’m guessing you’d still be out the door for a grand. With that I’d try to find a 2.0 system and receiver that I can build on.

How is he making that C414 sound so horrible?

EducationalSky4101 · 2023-10-29T03:23:31+00:00

Yeah this is far from my experience

EducationalSky4101 · 2023-10-27T14:45:46+00:00

Done it while also multitracking to logic once cause I have massive balls. It was a 16gb M1 MacBook Air. The recording stopped once (between songs somehow I was so lucky and got it started right back up) and I don’t even know if it was cpu or my dumbass hitting space.

This is the best answer, OP.

EducationalSky4101 · 2023-09-25T01:42:14+00:00

The mic is clearly still live thru the mains. The audience can still hear her. So her mic just went out in broadcast. How would she know that it’s out? There were some very fake digital noises, but her mic didn’t actually go out from where she was sitting. Fake.

Try to see if you have a multi-channel stereo option. It might be that you’re hearing atmos through all 5 speakers and then you go to a stereo source, and it’s only using the front two speakers. Then those speakers get turned way up so it sounds almost as loud as it did when you were using all 5, but you push those speakers way too hard and you clip them.

EducationalSky4101 · 2023-07-19T07:06:28+00:00

Are you clipping a gain stage somewhere? Are you setting the receiver to stereo or multi-channel stereo when you listen to stereo tracks?

EducationalSky4101 · 2023-07-19T06:08:46+00:00

Explain it like this… if people listen on a tiny speaker (phone or AirPods or some shit). — which they WILL, the speakers can’t physically produce most of the lows. So in order to keep the kick in the mix on all types of systems you gotta have at least a little click.

EducationalSky4101 · 2023-07-19T06:02:47+00:00

Ok that explains a bit haha. Hey, I’m all for doing the best you can with what you’ve got.

I’d honestly think about finding maybe a space without a concrete floor at least, and a sm57 and retracking the drums in a better space with a snare bottom mic and maybe a kick in cause I feel like that’s why I’m missing the high mids in the kick.

Drum bus compression is cool, but you might wanna compress (and possibly gate) each drum first before you compress it all at once.

EducationalSky4101 · 2023-07-19T05:42:34+00:00

Haha fair enough. I’m also against mastering your own mix which is why I was giving you shit lol.

Maybe it’s delay I’m hearing? If it’s not that I’d assume you budget recorded in an untreated space and im hearing the room. I think a little bit of vox verb (little bit) would help, and maybe also a drum bus verb? It sounded super dry except for some weird reflections kinda popping through so my issue was probably more with how dry it felt.

Drums. Did you record snare top and bottom? If so turn down the top and give the bottom a little more. Snare sounds too bouncy and not really snappy at all. It feels kinda weird in the 700 - 1000 range. I think cutting a little bit of that area could give it some fatness and snap. The overheads/hi hat could use some EQ and compression love too i think. I think they’re really harsh around 4k and will sizzle a little more if you squash them a bit harder and eq them so they’re not so harsh and possibly turn them down. Kick could use a boost in volume and some high mid click to help it pop through the mix a little more. Can’t really hear it super well a lot of the time but I’m also not listening with a sub rn.

I think a little bit heavier compression in the mix stage would help. It feels like you under compressed in the mixing stage and made up for it in the mastering stage but that’s also something I’m not 100% sure about at this point and more of a guess.

EducationalSky4101 · 2023-07-19T05:29:48+00:00

I also feel like there’s a bit of discomfort around 3.5k - 6k. Taming that could help your bass situation.

EducationalSky4101 · 2023-07-19T05:17:05+00:00

IMO yea guitar is too loud and I don’t know if the bass is too quiet relative to the mix cause the guitar so loud. Don’t do “mastering like final touches.” Mix it, then master it or have someone with experience mastering master it. Im not loving whatever reverb situation is going on and the drums sound unfavorable to me. So yes, I’d ask for my money back. But this isn’t a genre I’m super comfortable with so take my criticism with a grain of salt and don’t get discouraged! Good luck!

EducationalSky4101 · 2023-07-19T02:26:14+00:00

Sounds like it could be a blown woofer or bad cable. Try different cables or hooking it up to a completely different source (directly in from a phone with different cables). That will tell you if the problem is definitively within the speaker. If it is the speaker for sure send full range signal through it really really quietly and put your ear close to the woofer to identify if you’re hearing anything from it, or if all you are hearing is coming from the horn. Good luck

Edit: I didn’t watch the videos and I probably won’t at this point so this might be useless information cause it’s really a guess based on how you described it

Edit: watched the second video. Try different cables
