Welcome to Sonically Sound, a channel dedicated to helping you in the music industry. These videos vary from how certain effects work and how to use them, microphone choices for live and studio, handy tips for live events and much more.
Thank you. I found this really helpful for some older songs I had recorded. Before I had drum mics, so I had mic'd up the drums in the room the best I could.
Hi. Amazing videos. Very helpfuls. How do you manage with the excess of HHat sound? I got rid most of it with noise reduction but in the final mix i got a lot of hhat everytime, i had to cut hard that freq to balance ... most of it comes from OH and room (and snare hit when noise reduction cannot cut it). I read is about drummer technnic but i work with some drummers and i keep thinking the problem are my amateurs mixing technnics. Thanks!
Wouldn’t you EQ first and then compress and not the other way around? I would’ve thought that compressing first will bring UP other unwanted instruments that had bled through..?
It’s a mixers choice, I’ve done it both ways. You can see on logic how the compression UI is above the EQ screen. Clearly whoever designed Logic does Comp first. It’s totally your call on that one!
@@sonicallysound4273 Thanks for asking! I think there isn’t enough Videos on acoustic instruments (including drum kits) being treated in modern and innovative ways I think people who tend to make the music that these instruments create tend to be lazy and ignorant of newer technology while other people who delve into much more modern genres are more likely to break new ground and not rest on the laurels of genius’ who were only old school, back in the day because the technology, such as it was, was only oldschool! I think that YT videos are more often aimed at people who are making music from home on small budgets of money and time IF they’re ‘non-band based’ RU-vid can be too often for more rare producers unless it’s genres that tend to rely on a DJ mentality I’ve got nothing against modern music it’s just that there is a lot of “bands“ out there who are still trying to sound like the Beatles in their bedroom whilst thinking that the only way they can do that is with old-fashioned and high-end attitudes/equipment/environments and methodologies So maybe that’s a niche you could go down?
As far as i’m aware you’d need a multiband compressor to actually deess, the normal logic compressor is frequency detection only, so its compressing the whole spectrum just triggered by the sibilance you detected using the filter. Correct me if i’m wrong.
A multi band compressor allows you to compress multiple frequencies. What I’ve shown compresses one frequency, I’ve set it to only compress when that particular frequency reaches the threshold rather than acting like a normal compressor
Is the release on top/after of the hold? so if you have 50ms hold and 10ms release as you have in the default, the gate stays fully open for 50ms and then after that fades back to closed for another 10ms? So the total lenght of sound is 60ms?
Very clearly explained...one of d best explanations on the subject. Thanks 😃. I will definitely apply and assign a bus instead of directly going for a reverb plug in in the track settings.
Hey man great video and great delay tips your using in your mix keep up the good work man and keep making great music cause the delay tips sounds great man
Really useful video, but there's such a strong change of volume/sharpness between the intro music and the talking on the microphone. It's quite uncomfortable when listening on headphones :(
