Re: Yesterdays

Thanks , recording really is satisfying when everthing comes together. Cheers Steve. Ps , mixing has become much easier with the Sonarworks Reference 3 room correction software, my room has a 10db peak at 150hz that has made it very hard to mix around and now everything is flat in the listening posi...

Hi , I wrote recorded this 4 years ago when I first got Mixcraft and thought I better redo it . The only old part left is the solo. I was going for a John Mellencamp vibe when I wrote it but I may have strayed a little. Steve. ps .That V3 organ is cool. https://soundcloud.com/stephen-thomas-o ... ye...

This track was mixed with Izotopes Neutron plugin using the track assistant feature to setup the Eq,compression etc and apart from minor tweaks to 2 or 3 tracks, I just left it as Neutron suggested. the only other plugins used was a room reverb and a delay.I also used Nuetron across the Master Buss....

Re: ChillaX

I am yet to mix with it , but I think the masking meter alone is worth the cost.Add to that the ability to listen to your audio and make suggestions on eq,comression etc probably make it a no brainer.

getting the hang of this Funk/Fusion now. I also tried the new Izotope Neutron plugin on the master session.It had a listen and suggested a rather huge -8db at 347hz cut along with -4 at 1.43khz using the transparent control preset.I thought that was rather extreme so went with -4db at 347hz cut alo...

Re: HELPPPP CANT HEAR MYSELF WHEN RECORDING!!

Hi , is it a usb mic or are you using an interface ? . could be some settings in device preferences that need looking at. also there is the track monitor button (looks like a speaker) beside the guitar tuner to hear the recorded signal.

Re: Softube VST not working Mixcraft 7

I have the same problem with the softtube s73 in Mixcraft along with Slates Fgx limter meters not working , both work fine in Reaper . I think its a Mixcraft issue , Fgx was working as it should prior to going to W10.

Re: For A Day

Thanks , the Harmonica is played by a friend of mine , I cant take credit for that.its fun sometimes to bring people in to add to the recording process , I think only Prince , could really do it all.

Re: Why all the Plugins?

Why all the Plugins? , yes good point. after getting the Slate VMR last year I decided to limit my EQ and Compression to the ones that come with that plugin and really get to know how each one works.my thought was if the Neve and SSL eq is good enough for most of my favorite records then it must be ...

Re: For A Day

Thanks for the feedback , the reverb is a convolution room sound .I used a tighter one for the verse and a bigger wider one for the chorus.the vocal verbs are a mix of delays and mono to stereo verb on the lead vocal and a short stereo plate on the bvs.
