editing EQs in mix
editing EQs in mix Posted on: 06.03.2010 by Yevette Matatall OK, Ive ran various searches and read multiple threads before posting this as I assume its a regular question... But ill have to ask anyway.Ive been playing with TP for a and my VCI for a few months now, but only just recently have I really dived in. Now im working on a mix, really planning it out, recording as I progress and listening back to check flow bla bal bla Being that 1. Im new to this and 2. Im only using small speakers, I am finding that some of my EQing levels are out when listening back between one track and the next. (my tracks are already normalised using PN.) When I finally have a finished mix, what editing software would people here recomend. im just looking to edit some EQ levels, very Basic, im not planning on cutting and pasting anything, because i want to retain that live Feel. Ive read about Audacity, Albelton and FL as well as many others. I know that one day I will eventually want ableton, however i believe its above me at this point in time, saying that, should I just get it and start banging away, or would it be more productive to start with an easier program, especially since my needs arnt great. Many thanks in advance | |

| juan garcia 06.03.2010 | audacity will do it for you, but you'll be limited to selecting areas of the mix and applying eq settings to that selected area. or you could use a DAW and use automation if you want. reaper is a DAW by the creator of winamp, it is free to try and $60 to buy, but really any daw will give you more automation features the a wav editor like audacity. if this is something you're putting a good time and energy into and your mix isn't perfect, why not redo the mix until you are happy? i guess i don't understand why you plan on getting around the limits of your speakers with this after editing? you could compensate for it during the mix recording instead, and then have a better recording vs editing a recording. either way best of luck ableton, fruity loops, anything $$$ is an overkill for this and that money should be spent on better speakers IMO |
