    Software Samplers: What, Why & How?

    Studio One's Impact plugin controlled by PreSonus ATOM. I'm not the biggest fan of Impact. But it's there it's immediate. It's colors match my hardware. Keep meaning to look for better software samplers that are more intuitive and better to use. Not sure which I'd go to

    Beat Fight #360

    Hey, PAT, after your chat message about the outcome, I'd thought i'd swing by and drop my views on the beats (in particular on why MicroDot's beat may have won) I can understand why you may feel shortchanged - hey many of us do here anytime we lose a battle (many times very justified too!!! at...

    Got any more of those......hip hop memes?

    I'd say it's probably one of the most rite of passage things as an engineer. Any pro or mentor I've had all report doing it ... seen it happen before too. I remember first time it happened to me... I had this new EQ plugin, and I was subtly boosting and going "real smooth and transparent..."...

    IRON TIP - Mixing is EASY!

    2 things... 1 - that comes with the overthinking of mixing, rather than just keeping it simple, or keeping some guiding principles. 2 - mixes (even if/when easy) can take quite a while. i) whether that's because of the number of tracks ii) or some of the admin within it --- some top top pros...

    He has, from the sounds of it. And reportedly doing much better. Has helped his music too! Yeah I hear what you're saying, and agree in principle with what you mean. Like, sometimes you can kinda tell that this or that track is likely well mixed, because it is coming across well on that...

    Not necessarily so, because... :this: It's why it's not recommended to 'try and make it sound really good on phone' (as your sole aim) or only aim, as for example phones may have a naturally more tinny sound, so you might dull the sound, only for the mix to sound really dull everywhere else...

    Thanks, brother! Glad to hear it. Shows to myself how much ive developed Totally! I've been finding my current mixes and masters are translating well to each playback system - a result of improved monitoring, and I guess I could say improved listening/thinking. (Both of the latter definitely...

    So, analysing my mix on proper monitoring; Positives - definitely not the worse, levels fairly well balanced. Everything's got its place, possibly a result of the arrangement. Areas of issue; (highlighting the problem with mixing through devices with unideal frequency response) - Kick/lows - a...
