But I realy like your productions very much!!!
They always sounding amazingly pro and like 30.000$+ ...haha
But one question:
When I use alot of waves hardware emulations in the mastering chain I sometimes hear some little cracking noise. When I turn of the analog switch in the plugins it is gone, but also alot of the color.
Do you also have that?
I was pushing my mix up to -8rms
With the waves SSL-comp
V-series eq
waves Api 2500
L2+ (with only -1dB and -0.3)
cheers man I LOVE ALL OF YOUR DRUMSOUNDS!!!! |
Thanks man!
If it sounds good without the L2, why do you put it on? The analog switch of the API 2500 act also as a soft-clipper. You can push it until a certain point but it starts to crackle if you push it too much. For this mix, I only added 2dB of make-up gain on the API (I was compressing 1 to 2db max on the mix with the API btw).
Anyways, if you want your mixes to sound louder and clear with a lot of punch and dynamic, just buy a Mackie Big Knob. There's a big knob called
volume and it can makes your mixes sound incredibly loud without any artefact. You can also find this volume knob on every sound system, even iPod! Wish people will discover what it does one day...
