Re: Filling out the stereo field with drums...

Ive got another question that still has to do with stereo/mono sound but not so much with drums (btw just changed my username with the transfer thingy if anybody is confused by seeing a different op) Im sure youve all heard Gem Shards by Must Die! by now, but if you havent here it is https://soundcl...

Re: Filling out the stereo field with drums...

http://i.imgur.com/duvVjoe.png Put this on everything that dominates high frequencies. Hi hats, cymbals, claps etc. This works amazing. Edit: use doubler 4 for better results. Do you know if this is for mac too? Im running logic pro currently but that looks like it would be nice to have. If there i...

Re: Filling out the stereo field with drums...

Aight sweet thanks guys this is helping out a lot. Taking focus off of drums for a second - would the haas affect work on notes and pads that hold for a longer duration? like more background elements to songs? i know that this works well for stabs but im curious if would work for sounds that are hel...

Re: Filling out the stereo field with drums...

Yeah i know not to pan anything with a lower frequency so im just kinda playing around with hats and stuff. Ill definitely have to look more into the haas effect. ive played with it before but not extensively and i didnt know that that was the technical term for it. But as for this... I know that so...

Filling out the stereo field with drums...

Ive been trying to put together some good ways to really fill out the stereo field lately because i know thats a big part of a good mix. One thing that i like to do is import tracks that have been professionally released (ones that i really like and think took a ton of skill) into my DAW, which is L...

Re: How to level the volume of a modulated bass?

I guess what i should probably do first would be to add it into a bit of a mix with some nice drums. Ive never really messed with neuro like basses so i just wasnt too sure if the volume thing would be too big of deal - not being able to hear the quieter parts over other things within the mix. But i...

How to level the volume of a modulated bass?

I didnt really know how to word the title but basically ive been playing around with making basses and ive kinda gotten to the point where i can begin making a bit more complicated stuff and throw macros all over the place inside massive to have a ton of modulation going on all at once, and not just...

Re: How much can you fit in a mix vs. how much you should?

I really can't tell if this is trolling. Im legitimately looking for help and i figured this forum would be a good place to go to. In fact my last couple topics all had to do with mixing since thats something that i have a lot to learn about. Honestly, as a teacher, I have a hard time believing mos...

Re: How much can you fit in a mix vs. how much you should?

Man it just seems like theres so much i dont know. Maybe im just over complicating things for myself though. So as im understanding, limiting can pretty much give you a "perceived sense of volume" i guess i could say? And that could overall help the dynamics of the track? Sorry if im wrong...

Re: How much can you fit in a mix vs. how much you should?

So i kinda looked at the limiting thing and one thing i noticed is that it said that limiting is pretty much demolishing all dynamics that are above the limit in which you set. What does this mean? I dont really know much about limiting so i dont really use it all that often and when i do use it, i ...

Re: How much can you fit in a mix vs. how much you should?

When two things are happening at the same time there has to be a compromise. This usually comes in the result of a EQ/filtering to take away area of the spectrum that can clash. The more minimal a mix the more of the spectrum elements can take up but for busy one's you most likely are going to be w...

How much can you fit in a mix vs. how much you should?

So ive been working on my mixing skills a lot lately and ive noticed a big change as to how good my stuff is sounding before i really knew anything about mixing. But there are some artists whose mixes just sound downright incredible and are no comparison to others. One song that i think has a really...

Re: What can i add to a saw wave to give it some umph?

In case anybodys interested this is what i came up with https://soundcloud.com/nightwithoutclouds/powerful-saw-waves I used the thor (but really it could be done in any synth) and i used 3 saw waves, both a formant and comb filter, and i had a hard clipper on. Then i threw a little bit of reverb on ...

Logic pro automatically copies automations...?

If im working on a song and i want to layer something i always just copy and paste the note pattern from one channel to another. But the problem is that when i do this it also copies all of the automations that are used on that note pattern. And i dont want this. I mean i could just go through and c...

When i first started to produce i would slam WAY too many odd pads/synths/extra layers that i originally thought would make for a "better" (read entertaining) end product, you know more is better right? lol. The issue is my mixes just sounded horrible, sure i wasnt in a treated studio wit...
