Get it mastered by a professional engineer who knows what he's doing

Glad to hear it. All the best.

we appreciate what you post, it isn't like you have to partake full time
it's just nice to see people partake beyond spamming their own content
all that is being said
like ffs even a post a month as a response to a random thread shows you are part of the community more than just updates of your own ...

no its simply turning up the volume til some point reaches 0.0dB. its nothing you couldnt do with a volume fader yourself, just way more precise and fast.

of course if your sample/wav is very quiet and has loads of background noise that will be turned up too, but since we're all working in the box ...

As for Ozone, as some others have said, you ...

I had to stop getting hair cuts so I could afford the studio monitors Some people say I don't have my priorities straight, but I disagree.

No one is against the spreading of useful knowledge about studio monitors.

Its just that it comes off as blatant self-promotion given the sporadic nature of you're postings.

You only have 12 posts. You're not allowed to have an opinion. LOL, I kid I kid

For me, I learned 2 HUGE things from vespers video:
1. Get the timbre of the sound first and work on movement before applying fx.(Not that this is the ONLY way to go, as I've had success in other ways of working, but this seems to be a great rule of thumb to keep a lot of the dynamics of the ...

no offense but that is a beginner/amateur bass patch at best
if you're going to charge people for a course and advertise here at least deliver on the goods of being on a level that you can actually teach them something they can't learn for free

If you don't like it, simply don't take the course ...

Rightly said. Nothing can make up for a bad mixdown and sub-par production. Cheers!
