Mixing and Mastering Advice
Haha hell yea. I did some live sound and my teacher taught me to have an "asshole fader". I laughed as I marked it "AF" on the masking tape, and luckily I only had to use it once, as Mr. Drunky told me how much the guitars needed to come up. Hell yea man. You ever listen to Golden Ears? I... -

Yo Ruimixx, Lambrusco is really good. I just got back from Italy earlier this year and I had wines you wouldn't believe. But over there, it's a way of life. Young people drink it b/c it's sweet, and they haven't acquired a taste for the grape yet, and they chug it like it's goin outta style...- Hypnotist

Nice. I'm a cab person myself. A few favorites: 1. Grey Wolf "Alpha" Cabernet unfiltered 1999 & 2001 - Paso Robles, CA Amazing. Their wines changed with later vintages to "lone wolf" and another zinfandel, but this Alpha was one of the best I've tasted. It's like 30 bux though I think...- Hypnotist

Yea man... Power wires should never be parallel with audio wires, etc. If they need to cross, make them perpendicular to each other. Also, someone brought up the circuit. Having a dedicated circuit for your stuff is helpful. If not, watch out mostly for lights. Any lighting that's on the same... -
Mixing and Mastering Advice
subvertbeats, Welcome to the channel, although I, myself, may need another welcome. The top of my screen says, "You last visited: 12-08-2007 at 08:52 PM". But the welcome is sincere, as there is a very strong comaraderie among us engineers. I feel your pain about going to clubs and bars... -
Proper Mix B4 Mastering!!!
LDB, If you have rung out your room before, and you have a consistent reference level to work with, then by all means, leave it the way it is. But... I can relate to what he's saying about 300Hz. As you probably already know, there's always the opposite effect, because you compensate for the... -
Is it worth it? ($)
My suggestion is to link up with another local producer and start by collaborating on some stuff. Everybody and their mom has Pro Tools these days. It's a good way to learn, especially if someone else knows it, and you're a hands-on kinda guy. Other than that, Illmuzik and the digidesign... -
The Making of "Only built 4 Cuban Linx"
Sick interview! I think I read a piece of it back then, but didn't read the whole thing until now. Glad someone RZArected it. DEFINITELY one of my favorite albums, if not my favorite. Hearing (reading) what RZA, Rae & Ghost & everybody says about the album brings it all right back... -
Defining Kicks And Basslines In Your Mix
These are great tips. Sometimes, depending on what type of kick you have, there's a trick to add the harmonics to the kick, and it fattens it up a bit. Most hip hop heads just use a low-pass filter and take everything out from, say 150 Hz and up (or 200, 250, depending on the kick and the... -
If you did this what would you do?
Hell no I wouldn't normalize it. I would go back and remix it, paying attention to my left-right mix and seeing what is panned where, then adjusting levels accordingly. -
ProTools File Allocation
Also you have to make sure "use round robin" isn't checked off when you're in your session. What this does is uses several different drives to save room for your session, and it's okay to use if you're recording for a long long time at a high sample rate and bit depth. But if you're doing a... -
Is This True?
Yo Formant knows what he's talkin bout. If anyone's ever listened to me on this forum (haven't posted in a while) you GOTTA remember a couple things: Don't think that because you have an L2 Limiter/Compressor on your stereo bus, you can get a perfect mix. What you can do is get your "mix"... -
Comfort Zone
To get specific, the best height is when your legs are at 90⁰ and the desk is low enough that there's absolutely no strain on your back to keep your arms & hands there. But it also depends on the chair. I've been in studios where they have those expensive ones made out of elastic netting and... -
Does your evolve/ Have you evolved your style?
Ha... I'm in a "slump" right now too, for lack of a worse word. It's weird when you've been doin it for over 13 years and when you were 13, you were so damn innovative it wasn't funny. I've become so damn conventional over the years that most of the stuff I compose is just scratch. BUT... -

Cool beanses... I already got a pass from my school. THOSE WHO'VE NEVER BEEN SHOULD GO! I've only been once, in 03, but there were maaaaaad industry professionals & artists there. Met John Mayer while he was lookin at Audio Technica mics, but I was workin a booth for the studio I was... -
Production RECORDING VOCALS -- Drop ur techniques and tips!
The best reverbs, delays, phasers, etc come in a piece of outboard gear, NOT a plug-in. (This is usually the case, but some plug-ins are okay to use, just not the free ones that come with Pro Tools, etc). The professionals use Lexicon, which costs tens of thousands of dollars, but the setup is...- Hypnotist

How to sample from TV or DVD player?
Are you hooking up the output RCAs from the DVD player/VCR and plugging em into the line section of your mixer? Are you recording directly from the TV? Or are you using the cable box? I've done it before, but I don't remember getting any static. Maybe it's the cables? -
Production RECORDING VOCALS -- Drop ur techniques and tips!
Honestly for a home recording setup, you can grab an extra set of headphones, as long as it's only one performer recording at a time. And in some cases, once you get the levels, you don't even need headphones, as long as you monitor the meters so they don't peak. I'm just letting you know how...- Hypnotist
