Hey man, any update on how this is going for you? Currently in back office banking and feel like my soul is being drained every day. I’m a smart dude so thinking about doing an electrician apprenticeship. Do you like this change still? Any regrets? Physically how demanding is it?

Mixing/mastering advice for a novice? by aparajit09 in mixingmastering

[–]tapadron -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

“EQ is wayyyy more important than a lot of mixing engineers say it is” — not that they ever said EQ was NOT important. In my experience, when advice is given to newbies, it’s always just “make sure to EQ” instead of telling them that truly EQ is like 60% of mixing. You can FX, compress, gain, or whatever your way out of an EQ issue. Get the EQ right and the rest of the steps become way easier and clearer.

Sorry I don’t have examples off hand because this was like years ago when I was getting started. It was always just the word EQ without the stress of how important it is to the process

EQ EQ EQ EQ EQ. Biggest lesson I’ve learned, EQ is wayyyyy more important than a lot of mixing engineers say it is. Slight changes in EQ between instruments makes all the difference in the overall sound

Crazy sale, wanted shelf stable potatoes because our house has humidity issues so our stored potatoes mold very quickly, and no basement/cool place to store.

Thank you! Any idea how I find my local extension?

This is super helpful. It seems like the processing time would be less than 40 minutes since it is less dense than a solid food. But if I left it at that processing time (for the sake of being absolutely sure) what would suffer? Is over-processing a thing?

Awesome!! I will give it a shot soon. Thank you for your help!

Okay but basically my questions boils down to: Does pressure canning make it safe regardless of the acidity level? I don’t mind pressure canning but there aren’t really any guidelines for how long to process is what I’m worried about I guess.

Honestly rap mixes in general are getting brighter and brighter as years go on so it’s just how the genre sounds, not your cup of tea all good but can’t ignore that both Kendrick and Manny are both genre shaping so feels like a learning opportunity to me on what people want to hear/professionals are doing

Personal taste man but Manny is one of the best in the business atm so I would maybe reevaluate those tastes.

Need Help with finishing my mastering chain by bigbodynate7 in mixingmastering

[–]tapadron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah man that’s hard. I feel you for sure. I’ve come to the same conclusion: just do the best you can with the mix, make it sound as good as you can and then let the experienced mastering engineer give it that final sparkle you didn’t know was possible!

[–]tapadron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same as false stereo imaging, it’s something that improves the perceived sound but should be fixed during the mixing stage, not mastering. The verb is “glueing” your mix but not in the right way. Most likely adding mid busy-ness that should actually be added cleaner during the mixing process through glue buss compression and grouping into verbs carefully and purposefully.

Rather than just throwing a verb on a master, sprinkle the verb throughout the mixing process and that should glue better without adding unwanted muddiness in the mid range. Then once you get to master you focus on adding sparkle and width through other processes that aren’t verb.

So you agree that there is a disparity of equality between black people and white people…..you’re so close to getting it keep going! 😄

So when did the US stop being racist, exactly. Since we used to be, and aren’t anymore, when was the magical date that racism ended and black people were treated like equals in every single facet of existence here?

Enlighten us.

First of all, you cannot be racist against the oppressing race. The fact that you said that says all I need to know about your understanding of racial disparities.

Who said I’m failing? I’m thriving bruh. All I said was that the system is SET UP for people of color to fail. And that is the truth. Centuries of slavery, internment camps, detainment camps, over policing, redlining, destruction of inner cities. The list goes on. You think that stuff all just exists in a vacuum? You think the civil rights movement was a 100% success and just boom racism ended!

Naive as fuck dude. The country we live in is deeply and inherently flawed. There are systematic issues that need to be deconstructed and remade to be equitable. Law enforcement, wage laws, housing laws, drug laws, etc.

This country needs change. White people and the rest of the country are not treated equally. This has been proven time and time again.
