| Special K for breakfast!!!
been waiting a long time. common sense has finally arrived.
am using the K system on my next CD. have been living with the mixes using this technique for quite sometime now. excellent results. Thank You Mr Katz!!!!
some details: the music is a mixture of irish and spanish themes used in a rock/modern context. so we have a choir, symphony orch., rock band, and percussion section.
these are combined in a number of ways.
to give the illusion of size or scale in different sections, i have found the K technique to be invaluable. it goes from an ac gtr/ solo vln duo, to a full ensemble of the above.
getting this to sound convincing was well nigh impossible without the calibration afforded by Bob's system.
the only hurdle now is to insure that as a 16bit cd reduction, i keep the lower dynamic to scale without entering into the lower bits too much. (around the 11th to 12th bit).
a few test masters should do the trick a that stage, i guess.
i'm going for the highest peak being around -3dbfs (16th bit) and the lower rms's at around -18 to -21dbfs. scaling dependant. (13th bit).
i am not using any comp/lim on the mix buss. that's already on the tracks if it was needed.
bob's system has made this totally possible. thanks again Mr Katz.
