    Mixing/Mastering EP/Album in one session or multiple?

    I would take this with a grain of salt. A string processor is a strong processor. My laptop is an i5 8 GB RAM and I record at 48k and do big ass sessions. Been doing it that way for years It's ALL about the specs... Not if it's the shape of a box or a notebook....lol

    Beginner question on loudness during mastering

    In your mix session, make sure your mic/instrument tracks do NOT go past -6. And do not put ANY plugins on your master fader. Watch your RMS too. Bounce to stereo WAV and start a new session and put that WAV file on a new track. Add some very soft compression, a bit of reverb just to give it...

    Studio acoustic treatment layout

    Yeah that makes a lot of sense why you'd suggest that. I should have made the drawing more detailed. There are doors were you out the desk. I ended up doing the room and it sounds so good in here... I had to put 5 corner traps and and 7 panels, which all are about 3 inches thick cause the room...

    Studio acoustic treatment layout

    Hey guys, I have an odd shaped room that's sort of like an L shape but mostly a rectangle.... I'm not sure how else to explain it right now lol Any advice on where panels should go or is there a good video or something on this for people who are updating their studio? Room drawing Thanks!

    Audio interface and converters?

    Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place but I need some advice on audio interfaces. How can you tell which audio interfaces have good converters? I just need a high end two Channel audio interface that's rack mountable (I hate desktop clutter lol) oh yeah and it has to be USB! Right now...

    Help!!! My guitar tone sucks!

    This guy i watch on youtube from time to time did a cool amp head and axe fx shootout with a peavey 5150, Mesa Rectifier, and a Framus something something... Skip the video to 2:23. He compares a mic'd rectifier to an axe fx 2...im not showing you to compare the two.. although the results are...

    Help!!! My guitar tone sucks!

    those amps were used in many many great sounding albums. its all in the technique and experience. dont blame gear - just keep trying new things and practice.

    Help!!! My guitar tone sucks!

    your plasticy tone youre refering too is just a certain mid frequency is somewhat dominant. i never got this problem with a 57 or sm7b on a good ole guitar cab and a tube head. make sure the cab has V30 speakers...youll never have this problem. but id start working on your mixing skills before...

    Help!!! My guitar tone sucks!

    how you have to look at it, andrew is this: each frequency ( you can divide this by the hundreds.. so 100hz, 200hz, 300hz and so on,) should be "dominated" by one instrument at a time. so in your case, you have a low end heavy bass guitar, guitars, and toms and kick. thats why you are clipping...

    DI box vs. Interface - testing DI quality

    honestly man, id say sell your interface and DI box and get a newer gen scarlett. the 2i2 is 200 CAD and man, they are really nice preamps and converters. in fact, they are the same exact preamps and converters as one of their highest end interfaces (correct me if im wrong.. but i looked at all...
