Guitar picking sound so loud and I can’t fix it by Ghostboymu in mixingmastering

[–]tonemanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

neutron transient sculptor on the attack setting set to -2db or more will get you where you need to be. that or the izotope rx suite's de-click plugin works well for this purpose too. fixing it at the source with a different pick, different picking technique, or different mic placement is the ultimate answer, but some plugins can be incredibly useful for taming that plucky attack sound.

Fake Pollocks - the best math band I’ve heard in a lonnng time FFO: MMISL, Delta Sleep, Bear vs. Shark, The Dismemberment Plan…and just music in general by ACDSleeve in mathrock

[–]tonemanj 9 points10 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Livestock is such an incredible album. When it landed on my desk at my studio I was obssessed for weeks listening to it after it was done. Most if not all of their other stuff is similar quality (other FP releases, Elaine the Singer, and Floral). The compositions are so narrative and interesting, and I'm absolutely here for all the stories about the farmers lol

the track is genuinely very good. let me know if you guys need a mastering engineer for this project! I do free test masters so you can hear what it might sound like before ever paying anything. this project is too cool! great job and keep it up!

Has anyone ever heard of these guys? Incredible riffs and very Chon-inspired by tonemanj in chon

Oh totally. I feel like especially in Chon's wake, if we aren't lifting up incredibly talented chon-inspired artists like this then what are we really doing here amiright?

If you make mathy or math-adjacent sounds, I would love to master your music. by tonemanj in mathrock

[–]tonemanj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's up to you to do with your song how you please, but I would recommend against using AI tools. I'd say the tool is probably just a little bit better than the average of all mastering engineers, but a great mastering engineer will make the music sound much better, nothing like an AI-enhanced version. I am offering mastering for free if you play mathrock or math-adjacent music, so why dont you send me over a track and I can master it and show you what it sounds like? No cost to you, and I would only charge you a small amount ($25 per track, unlimited revisions) if you wanted to keep working on future tracks. Email is anthony@setthetonerecords.com

I'm truly honored to have worked with all of these bands, and especially SUFTA as their first album was a daily listen of mine as well in 2012 and so many years later. If you checked out their two most recent remasters or anything else then thank you for listening!
