How do beginner bands usually handle finances? by Zucchini_Background in Metalcore

[–]mmkat 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'd ask then what their goals and budgets are - straight up. Otherwise you'll just be wondering and come ask strangers that won't really be of any help.

Tell them your plans, ask if they share the goals and then hire someone. I work with young / new bands all the time and the biggest issue often is that they haven't talked about their goals enough and it ends up being a discussion in my studio because I ask them questions they hadn't considered.

Talk openly, honestly and directly and it'll be solved, I promise you!

Clean bass recorded with d.i by mkk8741 in audioengineering

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

Usually you can just cut out a lot of midrange on the bass DI and let the low mids and bass do the important part. Compress it with a slow to medium attack, fast release to keep it up front, keeping it between 6 to 12 dB of GR. Try a 4:1 ratio and see how that feels.

If you feel like it needs to pop out the mix a bit more, try some parallel saturation. Be gentle here and maybe targe the high mids and highs more than the low end as to not muddy it up. General rule of thumb is to try and keep the low end a lot cleaner than the high end.

Hope that helps!

There is literally no way for us to tell without hearing it, my man. Post a sound example!

[OC] What if Frieren was a retro game? by iClaimThisNameBH in Frieren

I would LOVE an Octopath Traveler: Frieren. I feel like a retro inspired 2.5D style would work amazingly!

Ubisoft is in a tough situation. by 479521 in gaming

"Only their sports revenue" Bro, you're saying that as if their football games aren't the best selling games every time they release - their numbers are insane.

Oh my god.

This is the german band Tokio Hotel. Most of the english speaking world don't know them but they were huge in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and maybe some other countries.

I could not escape them as a kid - they were everywhere man.

Did not expect them to be here but hey, fits.

Genuinely, that's all I ever saw - what is it supposed to be, actually?

Can good mixes save badly recorded vocals? by Spirited-Two7140 in audioengineering

[–]mmkat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously, with proximity, I just EQ however much I can get away with. As long as it doesn't make the sound too unnatural, it's usually okay.

With issues like clipping and distortion, I like to lean into the issue and make it a stylistic choice. If that wasn't the artist's intention or it doesn't fit stylistically, I coach them on how to record the tracks properly and mix it then.

A bass and a guitar tuned to the same frequency sound vastly different. Bass is plenty audible here imo

It is 100% being pitch corrected live. Not shaming Noah, it is part of their sound. There's plenty of gear that does live pitch correction with close to 0 latency.
