    hi ! for a new project of mine i'd like to have a similar rhythm guitar tone as this ( there is a little gap with the guitar alone at 0:29). i can shape decent tones i guess but i still cannot have this "grit" and that's what i'm looking for. might be a cranked preamp or simply a tube...

    preprocessing before mixing

    my typical preprocessing for vocals is vocal rider, i print it then i apply vcc , slight compression and limiting and i print the result that will be imported in the mixing session. for bass it consists in light limiting and a touch of compression. that way i get somthing more compact if that...

    preprocessing before mixing

    by preprocessing i did not want to say adding verb, delay, or even eq actually but just taming peaks and adding a touch of compression if needed. just like it'd be done at the tracking stage. somtimes i receive projects that have tons of vocal tracks and starting from zero in the mix session...

    preprocessing before mixing

    hey i wonder if it's a common practice to preprocess tracks before mixing them. i usually work on bass and vocals raw tracks (vcc for a bit saturation and coloration, limiter, slight compression...) and print them in order to use less processing during the mix and save cpu. do you do that way?

    how do you get the loudness when mastering?

    good tips here! I usually use ssl comp too but I'll try the slate comp, I use them in every mixes and they sound really good. I'll give it a try with two limiters , makes sense! I only have t-racks brickwall limiter and l1 though. I also tried once with parallel comp but the result was weird...

    Toontrack - Andy Sneap EZmix Pack

    does anyone tried this for mixing real drums? i have a demo to mix for my band and we dont aim to get a pro sounding stuff, just a preproduction. if this thing works with real drums , it could make us save a lot of time and better results for sure.
