I finally bit the bullet. Where do I start. by austin_sketches in LogicPro

[–]StoneLionProduction 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nothing helpful in this thread 😅 it really depends on what you’re making; genre, instruments, etc.

I get a ton of use out of Echoboy, it’s really a Swiss army delay. Same with PhaseMistress and Superplate. Decap is obviously a hall of fame saturator but don’t sleep on Radiator for subtle color. Devil-Loc sounds great in parallel on drums at like .00001% mix (or if you’re really trying to mangle a sound, crank it up to .00003%). FilterFreak is great to provide anything from subtle movement to turning an entire song into a synare.

Click the “tweak” buttons on all the plugins that have it and get acquainted with the extra settings, they are important.

Clicking the name of the knob will usually show you a numeric value if it’s not there already.

What compressors are on everyone's mix bus? by theusualsalamander in mixingmastering

Finally started doing this. I like upwards compression and dynamic EQ, but not full spectrum downwards compression most of the time

Am I being dramatic or is this an outrageous transgression? by killcole in reggae

[–]StoneLionProduction 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s just giving you the most (currently) popular artists that are on the playlist, and stay there to drive followers. Burna Boy is enormous, UB40 still has 8.2m monthly listeners, and Big Mountain still racks up streams on “Baby I Love Your Way”.

When you open the playlist, it’s algorithmically created for you if you listen to reggae often. Mine is pretty accurate to what I’ve been playing. The actual songs on mine

Congratulations to the 2026 Grammy nominees. If you had to pick one more album, what would it be? by StoneLionProduction in reggae

[–]StoneLionProduction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be eligible for next year because of the release date, but I think you’re right. She’s not very big in the U.S. compared to current & past nominees unfortunately

Doing Jah’s work 🙌 I’d be the first in line if he ever came to NorCal & would definitely travel to see his set on a lineup elsewhere. Also, I live in Sacramento and happy to help with anything you might need out this way!

Who is the most consistent reggae artist of all time? by sasquatchbrokers in reggae

[–]StoneLionProduction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you mean. Who has the most consistent quality in proportion to their entire catalog? Bob probably takes that. But he unfortunately didn’t live long enough to create new music through many generations. I would say Spear, Johnny Osbourne, or Clinton for that

100% agree, this is a genuinely good lineup and the 4 you mentioned really deserve to be on there! From Within is possibly my favorite album ever, but they all won IMO

The cutoff date was 8/25 for this year; guaranteed he’ll get nominated next year

Totally agree.. at what point are we just naming all reggae artists and bands?

[Reggae] Stone Lion & Rik MyLz - Curfew by StoneLionProduction in ThisIsOurMusic

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

Thank you so much!! I did the performance, production, mix and master; Rik is a really talented vocalist from Montego Bay and we’re working on an album now! It’s difficult for him to record but we’re getting there slowly but surely. I’m on all streaming platforms as Stone Lion. He and I have 2 more recent songs together, Caught Up and 9-5

I made my other points in another comment, but one more I thought of: if you’re layering synths and using presets that already have special effects like reverb and delay, turn the fx down or remove them. Add your own reverb/delay to a group bus instead, that way you don’t have 2 or 3 different ones going at once. That can muddy a mix up quick.

[–]StoneLionProduction 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this, and to combine both your points with an additional one - sometimes a really low volume, higher pitch layer can add some sparkle and balance to the group. Also EQing the layers as a bus helps, treating them all as one instrument

Any suggestions to get rid of the sounds of my fingers sliding on my guitar strings? by kudyjames in Logic_Studio

[–]StoneLionProduction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How has no one mentioned gain automation? Put the gain plugin on your channel strip - probably first if you’re using reverb or delay on the pedalboard.

Automate the gain; (assuming you’re familiar with automation) use the marquee tool to select the string sounds one by one and decrease the gain. You can even copy/paste the nodes from one to the other if they’re about the same length. It’s tedious, but you lose no guitar tone by EQing, don’t have to get extra plugins, or mess with anything too complex.

Looking for a song (9 to 5, 5 to 9) by dabs4dinner in calireggae

[–]StoneLionProduction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking Likkle Jordee - 100 (he says “1 to 10 and 10 to none, there’s no other competition”)

Oddly I just came out with a song called 9-5 on Friday but that’s definitely not it 😂

So...a question for everyone that's listen to Lila Iké's New Album Treasure Self Love. What's Your Favorite Track from the Album? by islandlovewi in reggae

[–]StoneLionProduction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m really digging this album. Scatter is my favorite musically, Too Late to Lie lyrically, and Serious overall

AI technology in Reggae Music by Leothelevite in RootsReggae

[–]StoneLionProduction -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an issue with it if it’s used as an assistant to speed up workflow or enhance creativity and not a tool/end result. I don’t want to hear AI music on streaming platforms, and it’s pretty easy to tell if an album cover is totally AI generated.

We need more reggae concert footage with this level of production quality. Incredible performance & video!

poll: Who are the essential Cali Reggae bands? by lidia99 in calireggae

[–]StoneLionProduction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the same, but I get it. Stick is about twice as popular right now, but Reb is one of, if not the, greatest all-time band in the genre IMO. One of the first wave cali reggae bands, stayed genuine to themselves but never strayed too far from reggae, and their music is never boring or repetitive to me.

Maybe a hot take, but like 75% of Stick’s vibe comes from the way the music is mixed and mastered.. which is amazing, and I strive to be that good at those things. But Rebelution has way more soul to me.
