You really need to have a vision and a feel as a producer, that pulls you in the right direction and forces you to make decisions ( with maybe some related alternatives ), otherwise it's better to do some other activity. I also think that, if you have the possibility to work with an absolute top professional like Mr. Ghenea, it's important to ask yourself how you can best utilise his time and experience in your project. Making them do lots corrective stuff and going through lots of tracks is an absolute 'no go' as far as I'm concerned. You need to share your ideas and see how they can take it further. In that way their work can be applying their experience in a technical and creative way.

I agree with the lack of experience in the former. I get way too many projects that there has not been any decisions really made. HENCE I always get several references from either the artist, label, or in film scoring that I do, a spotting session with either the director or producer who may be in charge of the decision making process in the end to know what they really want in the project or how they want the audience to feel.

@elianmusic745218 күн бұрын
This 808 question is insane. What does the person asking mean it distorts the vocal? That means it distorts the entire track. Which means turn everything down, or aka dont clip, or aka do good healthy gain structure.
@AIDENONTHEBEAT4 күн бұрын
i think you are wrong. He is refering when you have a 808 and is messing up with the higher frecuencies (maybe from harmonics), so starts to distort the vocals. This doesnt fix it with just a filter. Thats why the questions its actually good, because they explain how to solve this.

It's so awesome to see Serban at work, usually focused and dedicated. His mixes are amazing, no doubt. If anyone is facing this issue, the easiest solution to maintain the bass and most of the vocal's sonic integrity is to use SOOTHE. Loop a main section where the distortion is noticeable, sidechain the bass to the vocals, and let Soothe push down the conflicting frequencies-typically between 90Hz to 200Hz. Alternatively, use Pro-Q, setting a dynamic EQ to cut when the sound exceeds the threshold. This way, you can preserve the sonic qualities of both elements.

Serban and I have know each other since 7th grade back in Montreal. Not only is he talented mix engineer, but he's an amazing guitar player (he gave lessons to my brother and me). He was also the repair tech at Musicircle back when we were at CEGEP, the pros starting bring their guitars to Serban. But most of all, he's genuinely a real great dude.

I don't really understand what he's saying... he wants to receive a more finished product so he has to do less work? What even is your job at that point? Love Serban as much as anyone, but if you receive a mix with printed effects, and everything sounds good.. what is even left to do other than mastering? Is his genius just volume automation and panning?

@@Doctaj54 yeah, I guess so. I’m working with such low stakes myself that it all seems baffling to me. I would track, produce, mix, and master myself in sequence. Getting stems with printed fx and mixing, panning, automating, etc just doesn’t feel like a separate job to me.
@Doctaj5428 күн бұрын
@@evanmuller1967 but it is a separate job and that's the point I feel he's making. Sometimes you get plugins or printed efx that the artist or producer don't want you to change. They want a great mix but those "Don't Change this or that" requests have a direct impact on getting that great mix. Even those sessions you get where you're told you have 100% freedom to do whatever can be a nightmare... because a lot of the mix decision are really production and/or creative decisions being force onto the mix engineer. Then when you send the final mix, the artist asks you to change this or that. And we have yet to talk about finding and fixing any technical issues within the recording before the actual mixing is in full swing. Oh, and they want that great mix finished in by the end of the day.
@GingerDrums28 күн бұрын
Hey I can weigh in to this: as a mastering engineer its always surprising how much I can do with a stereo track. If I have 5 stems I can essentially remix all elements from there. The musicality, openness and balance can be corrected, but also whilst retaining the effects and decisions from the producer. If I mix a track with 8 stems or 10 I can do all the important mix work... if I need more granular stems I can always ask for them
