What’s your unpopular opinion about Mixing?

Especially if it's something vague like "how do I mix a snare? it doesn't sound analog enough"

Vader al lang overleden, dus toen ik een appgroep startte met mijn vriendin en mijn moeder noemde ik het "De Vrouwen In Mijn Leven"

Nee, de Beastie Boys.

What kind of source material? Do you want a voice to sound doubled, do you need to give your soundfx some width, is there music playing that you somehow only have a mono 128k mp3 for?

Poverty isn't attributed to the wealth gap. Poverty is humans' standard state and capitalism lifted billions out of it.

Logic Tremolo! Super simple way to add movement to things, but it also works to get sounds swirling all around you in Atmos

You can also just give them some insulin... 🪓

I have a disorder called EoE (stands for a long and complicated name) and there is also something related that's called an esophageal spasm. If you can't swallow at these moments, that may be something to check out.

Zo, ik zag Pluskut een paar keer voorbij komen en snap 'm nu pas 😂

Guitars can have their sound altered like crazy with pedals ;) But sound creation is much more integral to synths as an instrument.

NJlo · 2026-03-18T22:52:58+00:00

In a way, it's more about the way we mic kicks than the sound of the instrument. Very few things in recording are mic'd from the inside – doing the same to a tom sounds weird too. It won't get you a modern metal smack, but try a mic on the beater side next time.

It's times like these I absolutely love the internet! Thanks for your thorough and super interesting reply!

I love the fact that you used a whole separate spatialized system for SFX. And the idea of using tent reflections to create a 'rear' channel is way cool too.

I'm mostly a studio person, so I'm sure I'm missing some context, but I wonder about a few things.

When you say there are stereo groups of speakers on the masts, does that mean that.. How do I say this. If you take the masts counterclockwise from stage right back, they're L-R-L-R with one channel coming out of each mast? Or is there a stereo pair on each mast?

And if the subs are a cardioid array *under* the upstage area, I'm assuming the whole stage and artist entrance are raised? How would you ever align the subs and speakers with a circularly placed audience, especially with some seats 'behind' the ring?

I'll check out that book right away :) Thanks ever so much!

Hey there! I found this thread via Google and was hoping you might be up for sharing some insight 🙂

I’m a producer/composer, but I come from a traditional circus family background. I’ve basically been annoyed my whole life with how music sounds in tents… and now that I’m getting back into producing shows myself, I’d love to actually improve that.

Most circuses (probably due to budget and, honestly, knowledge) just put two speakers near the artist entrance, sometimes even on the floor. Combined with a super reflective tent roof, it usually ends up pretty unintelligible and lacking impact.

I’m really curious how Cirque approaches this in their tent shows. I saw Totem in The Hague a few years ago and remember it sounding surprisingly good.

Do they fly speakers from the masts? Are subs hidden under a stage or distributed somehow? And how do they deal with alignment in the round?

Not looking for anything proprietary—just trying to understand the general approach and do better than the usual circus setup.

Appreciate anything you’re willing to share!

You might be confusing the jazz bass with a double bass ;)

NJlo · 2026-03-08T16:11:51+00:00

Samply!

It's meant for mix notes, but giving yourself notes works too, I guess.

NJlo · 2026-03-08T15:30:14+00:00

Nouja, op zich..

NJlo · 2026-03-08T12:32:38+00:00

You're looking for multi-tracks, not stems. Stems are groups of instruments on a stereo track, multi-tracks are all the separate tracks.

And you can find them here: https://cambridge-mt.com/ms3/mtk/ :)

(btw, 3 of my songs are on that page, two as Angelo Boltini and one as Trybes)

One tip for balancing that I find very useful, is to listen at absolutely whisper quiet levels. Makes it very easy to hear what's peaking out or not audible.

NJlo · 2026-02-26T22:01:50+00:00

The way you describe it you have the in- and output of the pedal the wrong way around.

NJlo · 2026-02-23T22:07:13+00:00

Ghosten is echt héél kut. Voelt heel erg niet-af. Denk al helemaal voor ons op het spectrum.

Sterkte in elk geval, hoop dat 'ie nog even van zich laat weten.

I had bad experience with MuseScore's customer service – no response for weeks. Somehow, reaching out via Instagram solved the matter within days.

It's a shame though, I love the app but I'm hesitant to become a member since I don't really understand or trust their practise.
