Ohok. I do like FEELING what I'm doing, which is what made me interested in the idea of outboard gear. Let's say for example I got a compressor and eq or something and hooked it all up, etc. with VST, you select the track, add the VST, tweak. And do this for every individual track. What would be...

So this may be a dumb question, but it's bothered me for too long with no answers I have found on the web. With a digital recording setup, I see many people using physical components as well, such as compressors, etc. havent been able to see what other stuff people put in their racks, but...

i wish i could get my mixes this good. idk what im doing wrong though, they end up being decent, where im actually happy. but they are mixing that "sparkle", that final touch. When i master, or try to master haha, it makes the mix worse :( however i do feel like i hear some volume pumping in...

yeah, kickdrum is bad.... it didnt sound muffled until i tried to master it. idk what happened :(

Cory (victus) yeah, thats a good concept. im starting to do it better. by listening to comparables that i am shooting after. And yeah, honestly, i went back to my mix and was a lot happier with how that sounded in comparison to a trial master. the kick sounded a ton better, everything was a ton...

Silvermaples (cory), ironically you said the opposite about guitars than Oronvictus (cory) hahaha. I may just re EQ it all together. but yeah, i do agree with slamming the ceiling. thats what i meant by squashed. which happened with mastering (im a n00b at mastering) any tips on that aspect...

Hahahah okay man, calm down with the guitar bashing, i know this! and yes, the kick cuts through WAY too much imo. Thanks for the encouragement man. It means a lot when I can tell its not 1) some guy who sucks saying its great bla bla or 2) about the writing portion. and that you are...

Thanks Cory, ill look into that. My main problem lately is that I'm EQing with my eyes more than my ears. Okay, aside from the guitars being out of tune, my concern is if i limited it too much. Does it really not sound squashed?

more hi pass? hmm, i think its at like 100-125 already. ill look at it again when i get home

low passing... as on the high end right?

Hahahaha Cory. Too scooped? hmmm, when i add mids it starts sounding funky. What frequency ranges would you suggest up'ing? You really wanna take a run at mixing it? I don't mind Thanks Scott, glad you like it. Ill work on the kick, i noticed it sounded tremendously different after i tried...

So I've been working on getting mixes louder. No i do not expect to over night be able to make it commercial volume, that's not logical (or is it? haha) Anyways, I've read article after article, and this is what I've come up with. It sounds squashed a bit. Did I apply too much limiting? I had...

I feel a bit dumb now honestly. I've found a few different mastering threads here, GuitarAmpModeling, HomeRecordingForums, and GearSlutz, but nothing really helped. After posting this, I did however find a couple articles on compression. Which made it make more sense. I'll get to reading that...

Hey guys, This may be a n00b question. And I tried to avoid it at all costs, but could not find what i was looking for. So i finally got a mix that I'm decently happy with for once. But as everyone else asks "its not loud enough" etc. That is obvious. But also, i know there are some finishing...

I second that! I noticed if i dont hipass filter my guitars, i have a bassy muddy mix. But when i do so, the bass doesnt glue in, and give a full sound
