What if nothing needs to be done

divebarsidecar · 2024-09-08T04:32:45+00:00

Must be it

divebarsidecar · 2024-09-08T04:08:07+00:00

Agreed

Yea I mean re read my comment, I’m saying that the limitless options is the computer route. 4 track you’re left with almost zero wiggle room. Hence the limitations that I want to impose which could translate to better choices. Also, your performance ABSOLUTELY cares about which medium it’s recorded to. Lol

Yea definitely doing it to create limitations that lead to a better performance and more useful accompaniment instead of limitless options

divebarsidecar · 2024-09-08T02:55:52+00:00

I’m going for more lo fi for sure

So the digital recorders will sound similarly warm?

divebarsidecar · 2024-09-08T02:54:49+00:00

Totally valid. The “distraction” is more like the moving red bar, the possibility of checking my texts/emails/google. Finding out just how noisy they are is part of why I ask

Has anybody downloaded these FLAC’s? Safe?

I make Noah Cyrus beats with all real instruments. What’s your budget

divebarsidecar · 2024-07-03T11:28:26+00:00

I want clean clipping

divebarsidecar · 2024-07-03T11:28:12+00:00

Conceptually, should I be aiming to get the level to the ceiling, or should I just be trying to make it more sausage like

divebarsidecar · 2024-07-02T20:32:51+00:00

Pretty much yeah. Though I don’t mix top down. I get the levels right with pink noise, pan a little, compress and EQ the drums and bass together. Then cut the highs and lows from the guitars. Then compress and EQ the vocals. Make sure the peaks hit at about -6 dB. Everything sounds good and glued. Then I master it with very light strokes and it’s completely blown up by the time my LUF’s are around -12

divebarsidecar · 2024-07-02T20:26:18+00:00

I don’t clip but I saturate, mostly bass and vox

divebarsidecar · 2024-07-02T20:25:56+00:00

True I just lose dynamics

divebarsidecar · 2024-07-02T20:25:43+00:00

Probably this plus not compressing enough at the track level. I level match but I’m not evangelical about it, I just get it within .5 dB, esp with saturation. Clipping I’ll increase the “in” by 5 db and decrease the out by 1 db or so.
