flhtroll i share ur problems . i find using abit more compression on the majority of the tracks or Stereo buss compression helps abit in removing the digital distortion
Hey guys,
There's this one mix I have, whenever I master it the snare drops wayyy back. I have no idea what to make of it, since it doesn't usually happen to me. I've cranked the snare in the mix to be audibly louder than everything else, yet the mastering compression always pulls it WAYY back, like all you can hear is the verb tail. I've also tried the other way around, lowering the snare to sit in the mix, with similar results.
Is there anything you guys do to stop the master limiter destroying your snare?
Small update, im having more lucky using the gclip on my master, ive got it on the snare itself but using the gclip before the limiter has stopped the limiter fucking the snare up. Also changed the sample, got it sounding fucking nice *excuse my cockyness* with just the drums, when the bass comes in it sucks a bit of life out of it but thats not the issue here. Its really getting it loud enough so you dont just get the top end cutting through which sounds thin. So yes! Gclip worked nicely!
I dont know if im doing it the "correct" way but I guess there isnt really one as long as it sounds good.
try parallel processing the drum buss with the bass guitar.it should bring some life back to the bass guitar and sit the kick nice and tight with the bass.....
mix with the limiter on so you can avoid the missing snare issue. not alot of limiting just a bit. then you are basically mixing the master kinda. it seems to work well for the snare issue though. give it a try.
no a different bus. routing the drum bus and the bass track to a separate buss then parallel processing
