Members BonsoWonderDog Posted September 27, 2007 Members Share Posted September 27, 2007 so......the whole "middle eight" and "AABA" thing basically boils down to "make a bridge" - is this right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChasIII Posted September 27, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 27, 2007 N!!111!1!!!which voice is yours? both. Is it clipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElectricPuppy Posted September 27, 2007 Members Share Posted September 27, 2007 Is it clipping? You can't hear it?? Hm.... maybe it's just my system, but it sounds pretty overdriven to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChasIII Posted September 27, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 27, 2007 You can't hear it?? Hm.... maybe it's just my system, but it sounds pretty overdriven to me. Yeah, a bit. I need to mix that also. I'm actually a bit affraid to move to the mixing process for some of my almost finished songs. I think the bass is a bit loud.

Members ChasIII Posted September 27, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 27, 2007 I just looked at the pre mix on the demo in the graph and it does look very loud. This is probably what is doing the distortion if not without clipping. I really need to get an audio app like Soundforge or something else to make things easier. You guys know that free linux/windows version? the name of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dejavoodoo Posted September 27, 2007 Members Share Posted September 27, 2007 Yeah, a bit. I need to mix that also. I'm actually a bit affraid to move to the mixing process for some of my almost finished songs. I think the bass is a bit loud. That's where you can fix the bass. It isn't unusual to have to roll off some of the bass volume and EQ in a mix. It depends on the song, of course, but most of the time I want my bass no higher than about -6 db. The drums usually fit right in around there as well. And it took me a long time to learn that you can acutally make a mix sound better by cutting rather than adding EQ. Your perception of bass will also be influenced by your monitors. If you have monitors with a 5" or smaller woofer, then you're not going to get a true picture of how much bass is actually there (unless you have a subwoofer). Woofers with an 8.5" diameter are generally better in giving you a more balanced bass image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have monitor speakers but I just got some good monitor Headphones that i will use to mix. I'm gonna read some background info on mixing before I even attempt to start mixing. I also need to read my Sonar 3 book on how to use a few things I have not used yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dejavoodoo Posted September 28, 2007 Members Share Posted September 28, 2007 That's why your mixes are heavy in the low end. Invest in a good set of monitors as soon as you can. Headphones are okay to check things every now and then, but they downplay the bass that is really there. I've made that mistake and added waaay too much bass because I couldn't hear it in the cans. Headphones also give a false sense of effects, such as reverb and flange, because the effects sound "closer," so you boost the effect. Bruce Bartlett's Practical Recording Techniques is an excellent guide for any level. The CD is full of examples - a useful learning tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, as I'm trying to manually focus the camera, the owner pulls up in a big truck ... "You like my picture?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yoozer Posted September 30, 2007 Members Share Posted September 30, 2007 Yeah, and I dislike some things about its interface, but it's good in terms of features. I want to pick up Wavelab Essential; I've got Lite and I'd really prefer Sound Forge, but the price's a bit too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
