| Fernande Jada 10.01.2010 | "aren't HPF's used for stuff recorded live? do synth hats/snares really have a lot of bass?" yes & YES! use a spectrum analizer in combination with a HPF (your ears are good, too) to get rid of your unwanted bass frequencies...those frequencies eat up allot of power in your mix! lookin |

| Fernande Jada 08.01.2010 | well, first of; it is much louder because it |

| Harold Jaras 15.01.2010 | pm'd you the mixdowns, compact |
| Marcel Ei Gio 10.01.2010 | its true, always cut everything from a sample or synth that you dont need. keeps the air clear so to speak. if you are super serious about production, always get your stuff mastered by a second set of ears. 9 times out of ten a great mastering technician will have better gear to listen to your track. soon as i get a chance to actually do some production, i will be using a friend of mine. hes been doing mastering for several years and has a certification from berkley for music mastering. done everything from rock to classical to electronic. |

| Harold Jaras 08.01.2010 | i was wondering about the wav/mp3 thing, but i bounced my tracks as both and a/b'd the two and couldn't really tell a difference. man i've slept on ozone too long apparently! you did some work on it for sure. hell yeah! i'd be down with you mastering everything i have :P but i need to make a few tweaks to a couple of them so i'll PM you with final links! you're the man |
| Fernande Jada 08.01.2010 | well, first of; it is much louder because it |
| Harold Jaras 07.01.2010 | dude...fckin killer! i did some basic mastering with an adaptive limiter and compressor on the master bus which squeezed what was left of the headroom out for unmastered listening purposes..but holy hell! what do you master with? shit is like 10x louder at least! thanks for the listen and the feedback, but the track most of all! p.s. - i spy you in DSF :P |
| Fernande Jada 08.01.2010 | well, proper mixes! actually they just need to be mastered; like dis for example... DivShare File - Keep It Trill_ReMaSTeReD.wav goOd job! CoMPACT |
