Re: A Brit in desperate need in the US

Club scene is really lame in Texas most people just go out to wear button up long sleeve shirts [with the sleeves rolled up], buy sluts drinks to get laid, and request the same top 40 songs over and over again... :a:

Re: things that have made you happy today

Finally got my trs cables in, plugged them into my sound card and into the monitors. Press play.... So much louder, so much clearer... I've been missing out all these years, I played a tune that I've been working on and noticed so many little thing wrong that weren't obvious before, it was awesome. ...

Re: Special VST?

Your baseless self entitlement is a perfect example of why people stop coming here. Does that mean you're not coming back? :z: Naw I can outlast... Guys like you eventually stop trying to "fake it til you make it" and move on to blowing guys behind truck stops... Where the tunes at? SO mu...

you are a diamond in a sea of poo Well aren't you a friendly chap! :lol: Sculpto just lets you draw in volume curves. Nothing that couldn't be achieved with fades, volume automation and compression.

Aww, someone butthurt cause they look dumb? no, i just find you rude and annoying. if you knew how to use the multitude of tools at your disposal, you wouldn't be posting dumb questions on 'how to remove a peak', or looking for a 'magic vst'. but i'm glad you have found your 'magic vst', i'm sure i...

LMAO it is true though... Females always have some "friend" or guy stashed on the back burner that they can pull out when necessary.

Re: Special VST?

You say you don't want them peaking. Then you say you don't want to use the tools that were created to prevent peaking because it changes the sound. I mean you're cutting out the peak, the peak is part of the sound, so yes, no matter what you use it's going to sound different when you get rid of it...

Re: Special VST?

i'm not being sarcastic or mean... if you did know how to use them properly you wouldn't be posting a thread about spiking, then saying underneath "I hate limiting.. and I don't really care for alot of compression outside of it's place". These are the tools designed to fix your problem. I...

Re: Special VST?

light compressor followed by limiter set to just take the peaks off. this is pretty standard. you could also try tape saturation if you don't want to use a compressor/limiter. why they could be a problem is beyond me, i'd suggesting learning what all the settings do, i.e threshold, attack release e...

Re: The things that pissed you off today ™ thread

Submit some of your work to a mod and if it's up to par you're good to go. The thing is, it's not up to me (or anyone else) to decide what is 'good' and what isn't. ...Plus there WONT be "How U make teh wobbles?" & Skrillex bass/drum threads filling up every page, and the exclusivity ...

Re: Special VST?

wouldnt cutting everything above .7 also mess with the sound of the snare? thats probably where the snappyness is coming from. No, it's just random areas [mainly on the snare hits] that are spiking because of a couple of slight changes I made to the bassline, if I could show you a before picture ev...

Re: The things that pissed you off today ™ thread

Makes an advanced section seem that much more appealing. I used to be against this idea, but recently I have thought more and more that it is the only way to progress..... 1) Who would be 'allowed' to use the advanced section? 2) What would be discussed in the advanced section?

Re: Special VST?

A combination of some subtle soft-clipping/saturation and fast limiting directly on the snare could help. or rather than use broadband compression, use a multi-band comp/limiter as you should be able to pin point the peaky transient and control it better without changing to the chacture(sp) of the ...

Re: Special VST?

Also have you tried cutting the bottom off the snare, might have lots of low freqs that you cant hear which are interfering with the mix? I have it high passed @ 200hz so you would think it wouldn't interfere with the sub, but its still fighting with it in the mix haha. At this point I'm thinking I...

Re: Special VST?

What about just using it on the snare or drumbuss by itself. If limiting isnt giving you the desired result you could try a transient shaper (im on holidays so cant check the name of free ones but there are some) or use a softclipper such as GVST GClip to clip the transient. Hope that helps :) Hmm,...
