A frequency masking 'tip' that just swaps one problem for another isn't a tip at all. I like your channel but this 'short' offers nothing useful.

Now I understand why the old Pultec EQs had the odd ability to dial in a notch and a boost simultaneously in the upper range! Cool. Maybe this question is better for Patreon, but is there something about the harmonics of a Pultec emulation plugin that makes it particularly good to reach for when utilizing this technique? In other words, when using the high shelf boost/ narrow bell cut you demonstrate here, will using a Pultec generally get a better result than other EQs?

Sometimes I'll get stuff in my home studio recorded well enough that mixing is pretty straight forward. Other times you'll get the drums done, then add the bass with them and have them good together...but then you might add the acoustic guitar and now the bass sounds swamped out or the kick sounds too tubby. Remove the acoustic guitar and you have nice clear drum and bass again. It's funny what the addition of one instrument can have. And even trying to remove frequency content from the acoustic guitar where you think it should be interfering with the bass or the kick just doesn't seem to work too good. I tell you what there's a lot to be said for arranging and then tracking as smart and as good as possible. Saves you headaches mixing.

I loved it :-) Thank you for making this video. I am going to practice with it. Question: when the instruments are not freed from masking and you add the vocal. Let's say you use the Izotope unmask feature to unmask the vocal from all the instruments - if I understand your video correctly the vocal can still fight the music because the music itself is competing as well. Would that mean such a feature is not really helping and one should learn to first how to get the music instruments not competing before adding the vocal or does such a feature as Izotope unmask do work? Of course when you use an instrumental track there are other methods needed I guess to make it sound as 1. I compose orchestra and add the vocal, that means a lot of instruments are playing - should all the instruments go through the example you show in the video or would you do that from a bus where a group of the same instruments come together like 1th violins, 2nd, celli, violas, basses ect...Thanks in advance
@AudioMountain777
@AudioMountain777 15 күн бұрын
I haven't used the unmask plugin, and I think you're question requires a longer answer than I can give here. But the lead (vocal ) should obviously take unmasking precedence, and subtle eq on busses is a good way to do that . Hope that helps!

Could be, especially if you have steep high pass filters or multi band compression going. Have you tried bypassing all the plugins and see if it sounds fuller?

@AudioMountain777 it seems to be on the samples themselves. I'm using Spitfire's BBCSO. If I turn the mics to mono and turn the mix mic off in the plugin, the phase shift goes away.

@AudioMountain777 I think I made a mountain out of a molehill (no pun intended 😄). It sample only ducks in and out occasionally, and sounds fine. Changing the phase just makes things worse. Thanks for your help and these great videos. I do have one question: is there a way to widen stereo without causing things to go out of phase?
@AudioMountain777
@AudioMountain777 17 күн бұрын
Mild stereo widening shouldn't cause significant phase issues as long as your low end is mono. If you keep everything below about 150hz in the center you shouldn't have problems. What are you using to widen the image? How bad is the phase discorrelation on the meter?

@AudioMountain777
@AudioMountain777 Ай бұрын
I'm not the best person for advice on this topic, but personally I would use the hardware for tracking and use plugins for mixing. I am not aware of any methods for matching the latency, and the only other option I know of is to use better hardware. Sorry if that's not the answer you were hoping for, but again, this isn't something I am super knowledgeable about. Hope that helps.

@@AudioMountain777 Hey I appreciate the reply! I have tried, but never had much success with latency matching when it comes to parallel processing in a DAW using outboard processing. However, I'll try again by visually matching waveforms rather than relying on numbers and see if that helps. Many thanks for the inspiring videos, particularly the mid/side insights.👍

One last question at the end of the video when you taje the sides of the drums , organs and guitars. My question the tracks labeled mid and side for each. Are they duplicate waves called side and mids or are they example drum buss sending to another buss called side and another called mids for each. My question is did you duplicate waves and called it side and mids for the drums , organ , guitar. Do I need to do a stereo mix down wave for each and apply the trick or its get applied to a bus called mid adn another called side for each before it goes the last buss called sides. I got lost heir. Highly appreciate it.
@AudioMountain777
@AudioMountain777 Ай бұрын
They are all stereo duplicates that are each isolated to mids and sides, then all the mids tracks are sent to a mids bus, and same for the sides tracks. That way you have a bus for mids and a bus for sides.
