great sounds!
is that the wow flutter vst which is giving the vintage feel to it?
or do you have to do something else?

like tape saturation plug in?
what u use for tape saturation? i can hear sort of tape sound hiss at start?


also, love the snare on this one! is that oberheim dx again? did you use 4 on the floor kick with snare on 2 and 4 again?


ive tried eq and compressing the oberheim dx and dmx snares, but can't get similar? is there a specific setting you have to use when doing compress on the snare? or is it because you are playing snare on 2 and 4 over kick, that it sounds bigger?

thanks

how do you master with those?

i thought people say you have to get big speakers like adam a7s or something to do mixing and stuff?

i have shitty speakers (i woudn't even call them speakers, they are like £10!), but thats because i got no dosh!

what do you guys recommend for a cheap mixing speaker or monitors?!

well thats thrown things into question for me!

ive been reading so much on forums here and everywhere, and everyone says you have to have decent monitor speakers.

what do you think about those cheap low end monitors under £200?

and do you think all these expensive speakers are just a load of bollocks, and any cheap pair will do?

how did you come across these logitech ones anyway? How did you decide to use these for mixing and mastering?

Basically if you're saying a cheap £20 speaker set is enough to mix on, then the why the hell have i been looking at £200 speakers?

at the moment, have got about £80, and was hoping to slowly build that up for a low end pair of "monitors" as everyone seems to call them, but now i'm confused.

I'll guess i'll have to start my search from scratch again.

Nice work as usual. Btw those logitech 2.1's, are great had them in my listening room for the last 5 years, cost €60 new. Wouldn't master with them though

So what do you think of tb reelbuss, thinking of getting it but not many reviews online...

I like this, like this a lot. Just the kind of bass lines and drums I like. Great work.

Best regards
