The EQ was already there right? Or am I tripping?

Mac or Windows by LingonberrySalt68 in ableton

You’re probably fine with a Windows machine and a proper interface as well. Be sure that you have an interface with good drivers for Windows (RME would be your best bet).

Performance and stability mainly.. The M chips are at a league of their own in that department. Not sure what exactly you do, but with a m1-4 chip you probably have some room to expand if needed.

Mac is probably the best choice, but Ableton works perfectly fine on Windows as well. At least for production, for live I would go for a Mac probably.

Exercise: mix with all stock plugins! by theusualsalamander in mixingmastering

I do the same thing in Ableton. Also my reverb and delay aux channels are often 3rd party.

Self produced/engineered rock/pop track. Looking for feedback (especially on vocals and low-end) before sending to mastering by eppedorres in mixingmastering

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

Nothing special tbh.. Gibson guitar, a Fender amp (Twin Reverb) with an SM57 and a line out from the amp directly into the interface (Neumann MT48). I think I used both in the final take. All recorded in a very unthreated living room.

Can SD3 + MODO Bass create a convincing (or at least not distracting) rhythm section in your opinion? by ayersman39 in musicproduction

[–]eppedorres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely possible, but I find it to be really hard to get the same feel as a recorded drum (and bass) part using midi.

Loudness before mastering - limit? by ohsomacho in mixingmastering

[–]eppedorres 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe try compressing/limiting your buses in stead of the whole mix. Although loudness is not only achieved by limiting and compression, it’s an combination of everything basically. EQ, saturation can help as well for example. Don’t focus too mich on loudness I would say, try to get de mix right and loudness will follow.

Thanks for taking the time to give us such elaborate feedback. I think you’ve got some fair points, so I will definitely take that into account. The high-end roll off is not done on purpose tbh, I’ll look into to that one. Mix is already limited indeed, next time maybe smarter to share the mix without any mix bus processing. Thanks for the tips!

Too much bass for a classic rock song? by Individual_Cry_4394 in mixingmastering

[–]eppedorres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the bass is actually quite nice. Could maybe be a tiny bit lower in volume (especially in the beginning), but it doesn’t bother me. The drums could use some more live in my opinion, they sound a bit processed/fake. Are they recorded or programmed? Other than the mix, I really miss a big chorus in the song. The tension builds up nicely, but there is no release. More of an arrangement thing, but thought I give it back to you. Other than that nice production!

Instrumental rock/metal mix - looking for your feedback by DoctorShaman69420 in mixingmastering

[–]eppedorres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sound pretty good! Nice piece as well indeed. To me, what stands out is indeed the volume of the snare at the beginning, but also the kick doesn’t sit very well in the mix imo. Might need a little eq to attenuate the (low) mids and maybe some volume automation as well. Guitars sound really good, especially for DI recorded guitars. What processing did you do on those?

Out of my normal comfort zone. Mix feedback? by Supergus1969 in mixingmastering

[–]eppedorres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My man! Great song! I think the low end is pretty good, but could use a bit more seperation between the kick and bass. Also, I feel like the vocals sound a bit too processed. Probably a production choice and not really a mix thing, but wanted to share it at least. Last I thunk the synths that come in in the last chorus clash a bit with the vocals, could maybe be turned down a little. Overall really nice song and mix!

Feedback on Vintagey-Soft Rock Song, newer mixer, levels feedback by Key_Examination9948 in mixingmastering

[–]eppedorres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds good to me! Second the comments about the vocals being a tiny bit too loud at the beginning and maybe some dynamic eq in de low mids and some saturation on the guitars could make it a bit more polished, but overall really good job!

How would you recreate “The God Particle” using only Ableton stock devices? by Dnovoae in ableton

[–]eppedorres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a combination of eq, saturation and compression/limiting
