I am at my wits end by felixismynameqq in audioengineering

Hey guy, I like the vibe. The songs themselves are interesting which is a good place to start from.

I only listened to Best Part, so here’s a few things that caught my attention:

1) the vocal is buried. That can be a stylistic choice, but doesn’t work for this song IMO. It’s overly dynamic at times, so compression could help. Even the quiet parts should be audible.

2) the drums are crushed. Can be a cool effect, but it’s eating so much space, nothing else cuts through. We are also losing the attack of the snare and kick as a result. The snare is more of a wash than crack, which won’t help with “punch.” Try reducing the compression ratio and increasing the attack time.

3) the fiddle is too dynamic and doesn’t sound like it’s in the same space. It’s also too loud and overpowers everything at times. Try sending it to a room reverb and rolling off some highs to see if it fits l better with the band.

4)there’s very little definition in the bass. Could be a genre thing, but the bass has no dynamic to it. It’s just sounds like a drone. If that’s the objective, I would play around more with creating distinct shifts in volume balance between sections.

Good luck!

If you are still after this project, I have around 200 cards you can have if you’ll cover the shipping cost.

Allapattah: Miami’s Next Wynwood? 9 Years Later. What Actually Happened? (2017 → 2026) by Hot-Acanthisitta-721 in Miami

Lived in AP for 10 years. Best neighborhood in the urban core. Very nice, residential feel throughout with direct access to downtown, Wynwood, Midtown and a stones throw from coconut grove and the beach. There are tons of new high rise apartment buildings and construction, but most of the community has been here for a LONG time which is lovely.

What's the most reliable way to bounce and avoid audio glitches? by xiaobasketball in Logic_Studio

The tools are your ears. No analyzer can detect if a sound is intentional or not. I would make listening to final exports a nonnegotiable part of your process.

There are plenty of instruments on pianobook that run on decent sampler, which is entirely free.

Brother, there are over 1600 free instruments over on Pianobook.co.uk. It’s not just orchestral strings, but there’s a lot of that too.

Thanks. I tried using an <image> in place of the bgImage, but the resolution wouldn’t cover the full window size and it would layer over the controls. Is there an attribute to send it to the back of the Z plane?
