On Lindell 50 are you using shelves for top and bottom? on your screen they were grayed out, which is just bells…
@mixinghertz18 күн бұрын
That plugin is a strange one. The greyed out means the buttons are depressed so they are in shelf mode. And when you press it and it goes white that means the button is sticking out, aka not on. Weird decision in terms of UI. At least that's what I think 🤣

I always took My music creation very seriously however I haven't really made any money from it so there for can't say I'm not a hobbyist. This hurts My Ego but its true, I am not successful. If I'm not making money from My music then I'm not going to spend extra money paying someone else to fix My music but if I did My music would have more chance to make money. A catch 22.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being a hobbyist. If you are able to put your passion into something and it rewards you that's amazing. If you can let go of it affecting your ego you'll have a brighter outlook and that will definitely help.

@mixinghertzАй бұрын
@@IvarFritjofHansen Oh sjanger is a genre? I would start by breaking down what your core repeatable elements are. Then I would create auxiliaries (busses) to send these to. After that I would make presets out of common sounds I like. If you know you use the same reverbs or a lot of reverbs in every production I would create those too. Then save all of that as a template! Does that help?

How do you put transients back in once they’ve smashed by the clipper?
@mixinghertz2 ай бұрын
I tend to clip and then do a dB or two of bus compression. I might use a transient designer before or after the clipper too. Also my.mix bus compressor will be emphasising transients too.

@mixinghertz3 ай бұрын
You sure could, the only thing you need to be careful of is things lining up back in the box. You may encounter intersample drift if you decide to send kick, then snare, then overheads in separate instances. If I had a mono 1176 (which I do) for example. I might send a parallel mono sum of my close mics or entire kit out to it whilst mixing (which I do). This can be committed to and is unlikely cause too much issue if lined up properly.

This is only the kick microphone from a multi mic drum set up. So all of the snare and hats you are hearing is bleed. Do you work with drum samples normally?

instead of doing a HPF and a High Shelf boost. find a good center frequency and just use a tilt EQ point. Then turn those small dips into a single 24dB curve since they are close in frequency dip them, then after using the tilt, set it to dynamic to grab an extra dB if there's any spiky tone. Since this isn't a heavily distorted guitar part, I'd also use a compressor for shaping before EQ... but hey...whatever works to get the end result.
