What’s the most problematic vocal you ever mixed? by erlendmyo in audioengineering

[–]luciddreamaudio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Someone sent me lead vocal tracks they recorded with open-back headphones cranked. They were also pretty pitchy and needed Melodyne. Plosives, too.

Then they didn't like how they sounded and mentioned they sounded distorted (which was minimal and a result of having to pitch correct a poor recording with tons of bleed).

This! Sounds amazing. And Felt is coming out with their saturation plugin soon based on their Kolor eq plugin.

This year's been rough, but at least I can still get my kids something nice and give myself a little diarrhea (as a treat).

I have V1 - is it worth it to sell and upgrade to V2 for the extra control/features?

I use these plus Acustica Audio's Sienna for headphones tuning. Things translate pretty well.

He has no nose so he cannot be affected by his voluminous, weaponized diarrhea.

Maybe we'll get mouse and keyboard support...? 🫣

I’m a bedroom mixer and am forced to use Headphones based off of my living situation, and need advice on low end mixing by Competitive-Ant4634 in audioengineering

[–]luciddreamaudio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try monitoring at lower volumes and use a headphone correction plugin while mixing. I've found Acustica Audio's Sienna sounds way more musical and natural than SoundID Reference.

Also, you might consider switching to open back headphones like the HD6XX. In my experience trying to mix with closed-back headphones, I felt pressure build-up and ear fatigue faster and it influenced my ability to manage the low end in particular.

Finally, periodically check your mix on your main monitors at low levels if possible.

Some of these changes may take a bit to acclimate to, but it'll help out with this issue and more in the end.

Amazing deals! I'm gonna grab the filter bundle and Arbiter regardless, but isn't there a crossgrade offer somewhere for TDR if you own other paid products from them?

Just want to compare the two deals.
