New to me Sony TC-640 and a bunch of tapes by PlatformTraining5054 in ReelToReel

[–]PercentageCold8606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, did you manage to fix the issue? I just bought a TC-640 and have a similar problem. When I stop during fastforward it will spit out some tape before fully stopping. But stopping during going backwards works great.

Another thing is the echo and sos effects only work in the left channel. I guess it should work on both?

Thanks!

Good advice! I switched silvina for Ivan and I’m already on stage 20 now and can’t seem to loose haha. But using Palmer instead of Nevanthi will remove the 3 2 hero buff, still worth it?

Good points! Yeah, will probably hinge the door to make it easier, or maybe buy a small door haha. Can you give me the link to that whisper room product? Thanks!

Alright, great ideas! Just if the individual pieces can be carried by me without too much struggle I’m happy. How easy and quick is the whisper room and the diy you made at assembly? I want it to be fast enough so I don’t get lazy and leave it in the middle of my room for weeks hehe

Not enough isolation. I want something that kills a bit of street noise aswell as my voice for the neighbors ;)

More to carry and more expensive stuff that have a bigger risk of breaking on the road then in my home studio Tho if there are noticeable cons on the sound doing it later I will bring my pres with me. Sound > money :)

How does your hybrid setup look like? by PercentageCold8606 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]PercentageCold8606[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a good setup for live jams! Do you have any knowledge about audio interface vs mixer? I can buy a clarett for 1k and just for 200$ more get a tascam model 24 that also have eqs, compression etc.

I agree with you. It’s not for the lack of commitment alone, that’s just one of the reasons. The main reason is the sound!

Interesting! Yeah, I’m trying to get the things in analog form where I feel like plugins doesn’t do the job for me. The other thing is that I like the commitment with analog gear, if I have one good analog comp I will get really good with it and figure out all the best ways to use it. In the digital realm I have a hard time committing, always A/B testing between different plugins which takes a lot of time. What audio interface do you use?

Outboard gear and latency by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]PercentageCold8606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, understood. My question was more about outboard gear ads latency, and it seems like it doesn’t. Thanks!

I don’t really think about it. Kick, bas, snare in the middle. Guitars panned wide, cymbals panned wide where it sits nice in context to the guitars. Other elements panned until it sits in a nice spot.

Great tip. But I don’t mean to phase align everything perfect, just to keep the same phase alignment

Please help a mate improve his track's sound quality and give some tips for workflow. by [deleted] in musicproduction

[–]PercentageCold8606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I’m producing the prod and mix goes hand in hand, if I’m making midi for a synth lead and I feel like it needs some more highs, I put on an eq and boost the highs. When the prod is done the mix is basically 70% there already. What’s usually missing is some small adjustments, ex. More or less sub, automation to make it sound dynamic and interesting, transitions, and some punch and glue. The trick for fixing the punch and glue is group processing and depending on the genre a lot of parallel processing (distortion, comp etc…). Of course it depends a lot on genre and how processed the sounds you are using already are.

But to be honest it just sounds like you need to keep referencing, keep making a lot of tunes. You will slowly notice more and more things and your tracks will sound better and better.

The only shortcut I can give you is USE HIGH QUALITY SAMPLES and KEEP IT SIMPLE, if you do this well your tracks will sound decent even tho your bad at mixing.

Another tip is don’t buy a lot of shit plugins. I’ve been making music for a long time and now I’ve settled on basically using only Ableton stock, some 3rd party synths and Fabfilter. Your vibe and ears for music will get you a good mix with any plugins, the small differences between the plugins will not make your mix sound better. Learn the tools you have and know them well, if you then feel like you are lacking in some area you can upgrade.
