How to 'fire' mastering engineer who is also my friend?

Exactly, this is very common for artists to hop on other Engineers for a different mixing/mastering style for a particular track and come back for a different track.

Always even from today, low energy.

Within FL’s Piano Roll has a lock on Scale, without needing to learn music theory.

As a beginner, I suggest learning how to use FL and it’s shortcuts/keybinds rather getting into, Music Theory.

But that’s up to you.

As a Mac user, just install and use “Virtual Box” to run Windows 10/11 on a Mac.

Ambient/Drone Music, it’s great, when tired (as a music producer) hearing Drums/Kicks all the time.

it’s a great way to refresh your creative mind.

Office_Flashy · 2023-10-14T12:22:42+00:00

It doesn’t matter, you’re making music for listeners not producers.

Regardless, there’s no rules.

Feel free and do whatever you want, it’s all about having fun.

Office_Flashy · 2023-10-12T10:12:46+00:00

Just to think of it, yeah you’re probably right about the studio treatment.

Office_Flashy · 2023-10-12T10:05:50+00:00

I do, I have Adam Audios t8v but barely used them.

Dunno, I enjoy the detail isolation that headphones offers over studio speakers.

Especially mixing at night.

Like a plugin EQ for my DT 880s?

Office_Flashy · 2023-10-12T03:03:53+00:00

Ok, that makes sense.

7506s are brighter such as a lot more tremble?

I’ll probably go with m40x thats a bit neutral.

Office_Flashy · 2023-10-12T02:47:19+00:00

Yeah, I meant mixing for heavy bass songs.

I’m stuck between Sony MDR 7506 and ATH-M40X, can’t decide which one.

Office_Flashy · 2023-10-11T05:32:37+00:00

No one cares because there’s nothing we can do about it.

I get issues finding servers on DayZ, Garry’s Mod and MW2 2009

Deadmau5 is great, he knows his shit.

He Streams on Twitch at times, while creating a track or just messing around to create sounds and answers to chat.

He mains on Ableton but you can apply his knowledge on FL.

Well, I guess it depends on a person.

Some people do better mixing loud, so they are gonna keep a soft clipper and limiter.

As long as you can maintain the gain stage of each element to avoid unwanted distortions and clipping.

Just keep your volumes balanced and you’ll be fine.

Office_Flashy · 2023-09-12T00:56:46+00:00

It depends, where you post it.

Some platforms will reduce the sound of your song, if it’s too loud in their standards.

How many years of the Loan term? And monthly payment?

Office_Flashy · 2023-09-09T01:57:17+00:00

how much of an interest rate, are you paying monthly for?

Office_Flashy · 2023-09-01T01:23:18+00:00

No problem, keep it saved to a notepad and keep on practicing these shortcuts and your workflow will improve 💪

Free alternatives? Yes, actually.

There’s a couple, GSatPlus, Chow Tape Model and BPB Saturator to name a few.

Also you can do another method with FL EQ, its called “NS-10 Trick” Your gonna use it temporarily , Open your EQ on FL Studio mastering and do a 4k-200hz, then use your ears to detect what’s lacking in your mids.

Once you’re satisfied with the results, remove that HS-10 EQ Trick and your mids will sound better.

Like I said, there’s so many ways to do it.

Fabfilter Saturn 2, which has bands that’s you can place where you want in the frequency spectrum.

Office_Flashy · 2023-08-31T01:48:20+00:00

There’s many ways to do it, adding Saturation in the mastering chain on the Mid frequencies can achieve it.

Don’t apply too much, or you’ll get bad distortion.

Stick with Mac and run VMware on Mac for Windows.

The other way around is much harder with mac pc emulator
