Compressors have harmonics and reverb routing has failed the null test

Galestian track analysis(mix critique)

bit more low end and top end please. 2db for your sub bass and 2db for your top end. Also, vocals nectar trick will make a instantly fix the vocals. Good job as always

Mar Beso

You can do this and it is a bit of a task

Fourtet Opal synth remake

I added the patch below. It's 2 synths one is underneath which needs a little fiddling around. If one of you get it message me and I will pop it in to the attachment too. 

Work with just audio or keep your plugin on?

Binaural Autopanning

That 8D thing was getting really annoying. Here is something useful instead

Reverse engineering the gigamesh synth

That was a lot of fun. 

Limiters on groups

No problem just watch out for limiter distortion and or fix the problem in the group first.

also a fun challenge will be a no imager mix or haas effect

My go to vocal chain

1. Fix problems 2. Control dynamics 3. Mix in 4. Split out arrangement 5. Emotional intent mixing

Matt's mixing critique.

Tape saturation to warm up the low end?

Atmosphere sends

Concept:

Time + variable(automated fx plug) + rhythm=Atmosphere

Application:

Use this method as a release of tension that you built up in your production

If you need more tension, record your send with a relatable variable and reverse it into your send for a release. (apply your music theory).  2020-03-25 11:15:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Mix Critique Micheal

1. Low end need a boost (sub kick) 

2. Side information on piano is a bit too much (turn down the verb)

4. Automate your side chain away and bass away.

Low end.. Subs vs, a hell of a lot of other processing?

Anade's dark rumble song

Don't use my templates, use the knowledge instead

Knowledge takes practice. The available templates here are to help you build that knowledge. Please don't follow the video's and apply my processing 1 to 1 on your files. Instead apply the knowledge, and knowledge is helped with specific practice ;). 

Elpine track analysis critique

Story telling with sound is one of your strengths. It is always a journey and interesting to listen to. Again, this was interesting. I am curious about who the listener is and where they are? It sounds like a strange thought but from that the mix can be altered heavily and can really set the mood. Dark, raining or sunny day v...

Anade Mix Critique

Again great work Anade! 

Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor

It does what it says. It's a mastering compressor and in my opinion a 2.0 ssl glue. The difference is minimal but good. If you are looking for the final little polish this works great with a mid side eq too for make up gain, or a normal stereo eq.
