I appreciate this note - It’s something I’ve been considering for awhile now! I’m trying to navigate the best way to do it without the headache of copyright claims as many distributors automatically do that and require a lot of back and forth / time to remedy after the fact
That's an interesting comparison. I find your master to have a very prominent stereo field and bigger low end, while izotope sounds more centered and controlled. To your point, preference definitely plays a major role here, and the end result is solely predicated on the musicians idea of what they're looking for in the end. Good video. 👍🏾
I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Recording Arts from Full Sail. They taught me to use the Channel Strip from Avid’s Pro Tools plug-in selection. I’ve always used it but never was completely happy with how it works. I would always go for 65hz to duck the bass in order to enhance the kick. With this video I have relearned everything from side chain compression when it comes to that application. I’m using Pro-Q 3 now forever.
If I use drums via MIDI, I assure myself that, everything is balanced in dynamics, by using this simple method: the higher an instrument is inside the frequency spectrum, the lower the velocity should be. This also applies for piano pieces. So you're already able to safe tons of headroom before even start mixing
Makes sense! Definitely applies to the first level of gain staging, simply managing the dynamics of a performance. Taking it up a notch and handling levels, and doing advanced stuff like what I discussed in this video can help take it over the top! 🚀
Thanks for this! I recently discovered how to side chain Pro-q3 in reaper and enjoying the space it can provide for my vocal :) looking forward to trying some of the other tips.
❤❤❤for the fact that rap verse is in my native language. I am blown up by this video and I need to stream the full song. Post the link please....... "I get the money in Ala Bekee"
Wish I could help you, but you gotta take it up with RU-vid my friend. Even if I wasn't monetizing my channel, you'd be seeing the same level of ads on my videos so I encourage you to pay for a premium subscription if you don't want to see ads on RU-vid at all ;)
Getting comments from trolls with no subscribers and zero content, COMBINED with the millions of streams on my masters AND the full-time income I make from mixing and mastering tells me I'm MORE onto something than you'd want others to know 🤣 Don't let my shine affect you, things will get better if you try to stay positive and not cut everyone down ❤️ Thanks for the engagement.
Technically a song is copy-written the moment its been created. Registering it is more of a formality. I know tons of award winning engineers/produceres/writers that do not formally copyright anything. I'm not a legal expert so I'd recommend you consult a lawyer above all - but I'd imagine (and could be wrong) that as long as you can prove you created a piece of work at a specific time (ie you have DAW files with time stamps AKA date created, date modified) and proper documentation, then you have evidence that you are the main copyright owner and creator of the work. Just my two cents. Hope this helps.
In a nutshell, yup! You can use TrackSpacer to automate the process and make it easier, or you can do things manually with a dynamic EQ or multiband compressor. Similar outcome, just different processes at the end of the day.
I've tried a new sound signature graph for graphic equalizer, which I call Diagonal Signature Graph. Here is an example: 31hz -9db 63hz -8db 125hz -7db 250hz -6db 500hz -5db 1khz -4db 2khz -3db 4khz -2db 8khz -1db 16khz 0db It is also possible to reverse the order, so that it goes down from 31hz to 16khz. Thanks for reading! I like your video! :-)
Is your incoming signal coming in at the right level? If it’s too quiet, it won’t hit the compressor, so make sure you’re gain staging everything properly.
