the result is amazing. what if I use a bass trap foam? I already buy some foam and I know they are just defuse from 1000hz to top end.

my initial prediction was A- oversampled D- oversampled X- oversampled curious to see if my guesses are right or not but in all of my answers for oversampled the transients felt slightly softer I would assume from the FIR linear phase oversampling that DDMF uses, and in the mixes i guessed were not oversampled I thought I could hear some aliasing in the guitar in particular.... time to see if i'm full of shit or not!

Nice job)) how can i contact you ? I usually record my drums on 1 mic as multitrack but i never felt happy with the mixing and mastering on my drums sound . the engineers usually put another snare and kick etc . but i really want the sound of my drum recording to sound better and heavier without replacing anything
@SPLMixing2 ай бұрын
@@elyehage7776 Hi, you can contact me through my website. Word of advice: Mixing starts in the recording phase, Mastering begins in the mixing phase. Focus on the basics - i.e. great performance, well-tuned instrument, good recording environment, keeping recorded peaks under -10dBFS, good microphone placements, good phase relationships. Get those things right and you are 80% there before you open a plugin.

@Jooj21124 ай бұрын
I try to do bottom up as much as I CAN, but I certainly do not exclude the idea of top down. Most of the times I see myself doing BOTH, and at the end of the day, if you reached the sound you wanted you got the job done. You cant listen to a track and guess if it was top down or bottom up mixed (that doesn't even make sense). So everything is valid to achieve the desired sound.
@SPLMixing4 ай бұрын
Personally, I'm dead against the top down, having tested the results of both approaches. Getting it right from the source is my primary focus and bottom up mixing aligns with this philosophy for me.

Yes but inturn more 'Perceived' low end is coming thru. Pretty sure Pro's understand this
@SPLMixing6 ай бұрын
What I explain in the video has nothing to do with perception, it's about understanding the fundamentals of how a compressor works. The resulting tone could skew more low-centric, and in most cases it will, but this depends on how the compressor is reacting to the bandwidth limited signal in the sidechain. Not all compressors will react the same way and it depends greatly on the nature of the signal that's left in the sidechain. But don't believe me, we just met, try it out for yourself.

I've only just started playing around with home studio production, but I've done a little bit of live mixing and some studio and location recording in the past. The only time I would imagine myself doing a strictly top-down mix is if it's a live recording with a limited number of tracks and you want your mix to sound like the performance. Otherwise, I don't see the point, as if you spend a lot of time on a mix, then work your way down, by the time you've played with the tracks the top-level mix will sound different and you'll have to spend time re-doing it. I'd do a very basic top-level mix first, to see where everything sits and plan what I'm going to do to the tracks, but the real mix would come at the end. Maybe that's inefficient, but I'm still working this stuff out. Good video!

Yeah, audio system specs can be a delicate balancing act to get right if you're on a PC especially. Throw in the need to update drivers and software regularly and you're bound to get issues at some point.

I grabbed NX as a way to test out the EQ correction for my Sony 7506 cans. On one hand, I absolutely hate working on headphones but figured it time to join the rest of the world or at least have the option to reference them as an option. One feature that really irritates me is the head tracking. Why is that necessary? It drive me nuts having it on so I'm thankful to be able to turn it off. What is the actual benefit to head tracking? It seems to me it's just a technical gimmick that ultimately does nothing to help or speed up any task. What am I missing?
@SPLMixing10 ай бұрын
It's simulating the environment as realistically as possible, so that if you want to feel like you're in a real room without headphones, you can experience that feeling 100%. Put NX on a reverb or delay and add some movement using your own head, pretty cool.
