    Project Studio Build

    Max, I am sure you have posted the answer to this somewhere on here, but scanning through I could not find it. How much do you have invested into just the inside acoustical treatments, and studio features (minus the awesome desk) so far? Not counting the cost of the home itself. I am hoping to...

    Vocal effects

    Wait so they would possibly ban me for replying to a post that was made this year? Go for it. A bit of a late reply, but who the fuck cares.

    Vocal effects

    This is how I do it as well. really simple. I make sure to leave the reversed reverb on it's own track so I can control the volume of it separately from the actual vocals. Since what we are hearing is actualy a reversed reverb effect, reversed. I usually do this in stereo too with a bit of delay...

    Guitar perfectness

    Get yourselves a really great tuner. I use a korg rackmount, I forget the model, I think it was about $229. But I also have the Boss TU-3 that I use a lot too. New strings will be a great help, just be sure to stretch. But do what you have to for the production. Go back and re-record a sustained...

    What Steps do you guys take when mixing

    The first thing I do when I start mixing is get my session set up for it. Delete any unused tracks. Make sure everything is named. Then I make memory locations for the groups I will be mixing, because in Pro Tools I just hit a number on my pad and it takes me to my drums, vox, guitars, or keys...

    Mixing bass drops

    For sub drops I mix them like they are an instrument. I give them their own compressor (Focusrite Midnight Compressor is the one I like for this job) To get the peaks under control while still keeping the initial attack of the drop. Then I just level out the volume so that it sounds good in the...

    How do you get master mix to commercial level?

    A simple way is throw a limiter on a sub master before you bounce, and get the peaks squashed a bit. Than once you bounce you can EQ and compress a bit more so that you can turn it up. This doesn't always work for every song, but I have had success with it in the past. I always work with a...

    Reverb send on snare and toms

    I too put reverb on individual tracks a lot too. But sometimes I will bus the kick snare and toms to a reverb aux just to give it a really large sound for a certain section in a song. Nowadays that I have more inputs I will just record a room mic too and that usually does the trick for some big...

    So you want a tight mix?

    Eventually some people will stop comparing old music to new music. The differences in both our society, and technology are so much different, that there is no reason to compare them. If the Beatles had Pro Tools back then, would they have utilized editing? Who knows. But given what we all know...
