Re: Blue Sky...
Interesting perspective in this article on compression during tracking vs afterwards

Re: Blue Sky...
I don't understand why printing one effect (compression) on a few tracks (vocals) is going to have such a great effect of reducing the load on my cpu and memory, thereby resulting in audible improvements. Is singing through a dynamic mic into guitar stompbox going to result in a better vocal sound ...

Re: Blue Sky...
There's a number of "channel strips" around, but I'm not about to spend any money any time soon... :D It's a shame none of my interference have inserts ie an effects loop to be honest...I might get my old Fostex 4 track mixer/tape out of the loft, even that had an effects loop! And it woul...

Re: Blue Sky...
So are you plugging in before the recording? In other words, does the recorded guitar have compression/limiting applied? :D Yes I am recording through a recording interface/hardware compressor now. I always used to do this, until a couple of years ago when I got a new Audient iD14 interface, and th...

Re: Blue Sky...
you know what would help...going forward too... as you know I'm trying more recording with compression/limiting at source... we lull ourselves to thinking "hey, we've got plugins, we can process it afterwards, I've got 24bits here, I can record quiet, just get the signal in" but, I disagre...

Re: Blue Sky...
the better you get it from the start, the easier the mix process and the better the end result. Consistently. Fighting with inferior recordings is a frustrating process and the end result is just never quite satisfying. Cant say it enough. Put the effort in at the start. Jumping eagerly ahead never...

High Pass Slopes
hiya folks
much as I love TDR Nova, I'm stuck between a HP of 24db/oct and 72db/oct...nothing inbetween...like say 48db/oct...
I know eg FabFilter has that, but I'm all about the Freeware....
fanks!

Re: Blue Sky...
Nicky, great work! Unless I missed it you didn't mention anything about microphones or mic placement when it comes to recording acoustic. I too am looking for a better acoustic sound and I can't seem to get that "realism". :D Ah right, yes, you're quite right, sorry! Hmmm. This has been a...

Re: Blue Sky...
I'm really enjoying your performances on the vocals and guitars and the lush, spacious mix. Wow. You are a really good mixer and masterer. MIDI instrument programming is nice, too. You did the video shoot all on a mobile phone? I'm curious what software you used to edit the video (if it wasn't Mixc...

Re: Guide Track?
Not sure if it contributes, but I'll chime in and say that I often work up my songs by laying down rudimentary tracks that I replace with more finished tracks. I do this too. And yes it's time consuming. No way am I going to pay for band in a box (but looks good). I'd quite like a chord generator i...

Re: Free VSTs/VSTis: what have you used...
I'm still interpreting this thread as what FREE plugins have I used...(I'm all about the freeware!) There's been some brilliant suggestions here!!!! I'd really only add to those already listed:- TDR VOS Slick EQ (outstanding) Klanghelm IVGI A1stereocontrol (wonderful, but could be better) HornetFatF...

Re: Melodyne problems.
A couple of months ago I midly disliked Melodyne. But I was quite wrong - it's very functional, but HARD to use. Splitting a section of audio and mixing to a new clip before entering Melodyne does help I find. You can also like in the menus to use "no snap" to nudge notes slightly, or use ...

Re: Blue Sky...
Lovely! Having expressed your fondnesss for cake, I think you deserve an extra slice for this one! I listened repeatedly, and enjoyed everything about it-- lyrics, sentiment, fine guitar work and vocals, and beautifully smooth mix. Many thanks for sharing this with us. Rick. The video is also pleas...
