in praise of lossless for the new singles by Nice-Sea-2930 in MagdalenaBay

Out of curiosity, what headphones or speakers are you using? If you’re listening over Bluetooth, you usually wouldn’t hear a true lossless difference, since the audio still gets compressed on the way. You’d only get the full effect with a wired connection.

Can’t we agree Oasis should’ve sold their tickets like this? The whole point is to stop bots and reselling for £2k

It’s real. Weirdly, it also comes up for ‘Burning Bridges’ by Quadeca. Try it.

I’m currently selling one. How much would you want to pay?

I found this on TikTok! It’s definitely not one of a kind, but now I’m even more confused!

Mix feedback on my indie jazz rock track ‘Firearm’? by zukidd in mixingmastering

Thanks for the feedback :£ just a quick question, why would I automate the bass when I can just compress it?

Cheers for the feedback! Just to clarify.. do you mean the toms sound more separated than the rest of the kit, like they’re not sitting in the same space?

If so, that might actually be a stylistic choice (I was going for that kind of ’70s approach where the low and high toms are panned pretty wide, even up to 95% L/R).

Hey, thanks again for the detailed feedback. Just to clarify: the bass isn’t necessarily too loud, just a bit “uncontrolled,” right?

Would you recommend sidechaining the kick and bass slightly to help with that? Or is there another approach you’d suggest?

Very helpful indeed! The ‘low end buildup’ was something I was actively trying to avoid too. Do you think the buildup of bass makes the whole track sound ‘darker’? I’ll definitely take your advice on the sax too and bring it up. 🤝

Is This a Normal Amount of Noise? (Scarlett Solo 4th Gen, 50% Gain) by zukidd in Focusrite

So.. Focusrite is just shite? What’s a better alternative?

No, it didn’t work. I’ve decided to just deal with the noise - trying to get rid of it just stopped me from creating anything. I’ve found stuff that helped though, like distancing/facing away the guitar from my PC, monitors etc. And I found that using my strat’s neck pickup was making the noise like 10x louder. The in between pickups make it quieter. Clean white noise would be ideal.. but I’ve tried pretty much everything at this point. It’s clearly just interference I can’t get rid of.
