What is it about the sub?
Classic DSF...

Some extra harmonics, I can't work out how to go about it, my first guess was to use FM and modulate two sine waves together, sounds alright but not quite.

I think that's a dumb thing to say... Where the fuck should all of the money go? To the club? No, people go to see him play... So he's gonna get a lot of money.

Can I name my original track with (Ft. Marvin Gaye)?

Marvin Gaye) Would you guys say this is acceptable? I use about 4 lines worth of his vocal in the track, repeated in the verses. I dont really w...

The only problem is then, i still have the bass itself hitting the sub, clashing with the sine wave sub :|

How to keep basses fat when cutting/highpassing for sub?

Yo! So basically, i'm having a little trouble here, I go to high pass my basslines to make room to layer the sub bass on, but when I do this, they all just lose their fatness... I'm cutting at around 140hz, so there is pretty much none of the bass touching the sub, and the sub is a low e, which is p...

Re: How to hard limit in Izotope Ozone?

Why would you want 'Max loudness', it'll make it sound horrible even if there's no "audio distortion" hence all of the dynamic range will be eliminated. Now I'm definitely not a 'Pro' in any sense of the word, but it would appear you're doing something wrong. You should check the document...

Re: Best WAV to MP3 converter?

Seeing as encoding algorthims from WAV to MP3 are pretty much standardised, if you're hearing a 'difference' in your tunes vs. tunes from other artists, that would suggest a mixdown/mastering issue. Bearing in mind that MP3 is a compressed format. Anywho, try it with Audacity as I've suggested. If ...

I don't know if it's just me being critical because I'm in that mood or someshit. But I'm noticing that the wav to mp3@320kbps on Itunes sounds actually sosososo fuckin terrible. I realise wav is better quals (obviously) but the conversion I'm making afterward actually sounds shit. Same with 160kbps...
