Agree for the most part, however, not having an accurate room is a recipe for disaster for most people. It was for me early on even though I knew my room well and had the same speakers for years. The room added an EQ curve that was completely counterproductive to attempt to work around. I had to reference on multiple systems just to overcome it and the final mixes in the mix room never sounded "right". I'm on studio #5 now and the last two have been acoustically accurate rooms. My mixes are much more effortless and translated everywhere pretty much immediately. Mix revisions are few which saves me time and money.

Agree. Mine just made me obsess over bass levels because the slightest changes in position were causing things to disappear in the bass. Its more a case of needing to pass a threshold of quality like most equipment and subsequent upgrades pay off less and less the more you spend. I always think to ask- does the advice giver mean its fine not having a 5k mic or do they mean not have an 57 quality. I think most room qualities Miguel not pass the last threshold. Rooms are one of the most expensive and useful tools. Or else headphones, lowing ties limitations, graphs and simple brief speaker tests on a couple systems do me fine.

The only thing I disagree with is the "knowing your room" analogy. The room needs to be flat so you can take the thousands of rooms in the wild - out of the mix. In the old days, every control room was finely tuned to not influence any frequency. If there are problems in the room - it doesn't matter if you know what the problems are - you won't be able to unhear the problems - your brain will mix them back in. Probably one of the reasons that you have had success with mixing on the NS10Ms is that they are always close enough to your ears ( near field monitors ), to remove the actual room problems - And I do agree that knowing them helps as well. But in the 1980s, I could pretty much walk into any studio in the world and the reference would sound almost the same. The client speakers in the room were always different and as you said were extremely hard to mix with.
@TBRNashville Жыл бұрын
100%. Working around clear problems, like SBIR and other room nodes, is a recipe for disaster for most people. Having an (at least reasonably ) accurate room is pertinent IMHO.
@georgesimpson140610 ай бұрын
Its less about flat spectrum to me, but more about how room resonances are NOT just an frequency graph. Ears do adapt to different distributions, although they do matter just try mixing with an equalised wastes bus and you get different results yes. A room with resonance is reactive. Small changes in position change the sound. It obscures detail. It makes a dynamic response when a certain instruments note matches that resonance. One channel may sound different to another across left and right or phase cancel sides too much. Make you take off all the verb because the room lacks definition. Not so much flat, you can use non flat monitors like n s 10 in a good room.

I'm always reminded that with 'normal' people who don't produce music, and don't care to, they NEVER, NEVER, NEVER say "wow, that's a really good mix!" about a song they love- it's just simply, "That's a really great SONG." You're so right, that no one will ever say that about a track that the 75 different EQ's were fiddled for months with- if the song itself isn't simply GREAT, well recorded, well performed.

While I'm only a life long hobbyist, I've always been pro-technology regarding music. Programs like QBase and Cakewalk bringing the studio into our homes in the 90's, MIDI tying and syncing things together in the 80's, synths setting it off and setting the stage in the 70's. Tech is awesome for music. There are only so many frequencies within our hearing range. Using tech to keep those frequencies sounding fresh and new is why I feel we don't run out of music. Multi-effects pedal units and modelers, solid state amps, all making more options available at more affordable prices. There's a reason these things exist and continue to evolve. And it's all really come a loooooooooooooong way since the 90's. Digital recording really started before the and took over in the 70's. (I want to say Sony started it in the very late 60's, but I could be off on that. 90% sure it was Sony but 50% on the date.) That's why it's so fun to hear the vinyl nerds talk about how records are more pure and organic, then you point out the sticker or blurb on the back that states that it was digitally recorded and mastered, leaving the elitists speechless. I'm not against vinyl by any means, and I do enjoy the way they sound, but it really is fun to pop that elitist bubble by pointing out their almighty organic record actually contains a digital recording. If they were really nerds, they would have read that part along with every other printed word on the dust cover, spine, jackets, and liner notes. Just sayin'. For me all of that literature and art is the only reason to get a vinyl record. Def not for it's static prone "superior" sound. Once again, I like that sound, but I wouldn't call it superior by any means. But that's just my $0.02 ;)

I got my setup down to gain stage,light compression in cubase, rolling off low end in cubase, then saturation with BB Tubes by waves. I will also parallel a track by smashing the compression and adding more saturation. You can add depth to a bass track by paralleling it with low pass just around 100k and blending the two. Each part takes on its own sonic characteristic and sits well in the mix with little adjustments. I mix on a pair of KVR Rockets 5" and I have finally started to get really vibrant tracks that translate well to other platforms.Also keeping your overall master level down to -6db. Turn up your monitor output so that it's fairly loud, this helps stopping overloading the overall level and master output of you track. If you try to mix a low monitor volume the tendency is to push the individual track volumes too hard.

Now I have a well treated Room and I found my big 3 Way Flush Mounted Speakers. Today I am happy with my mixes or masters 99% when I leave the studio and test them. I would say, if you compare the dollars you spend for a good treated room and vor a set of good speakers, you get more out of it than if you spend the money on other expensive stuf like microphones or analog compressors and stuff. Now am Working an other 9 years in my new Studio and as I sed, its worth it to have a well treated room and good speakers.

It's a good song, but, even with the best efforts of someone that has been mixing for over 50 years, it will never be great because of the lack of detail when making the music. Sad but true.

I hadn't really considered deeply the idea of knowing your monitors. I mean I've heard it said and just thought they meant how it reacts at certain frequencies compared to other things. I guess that's part of it but the other part is knowing how things sound through it. How music sounds through it. I guess I've been doing this inadvertently because I use my monitors for everything. Listening to music, playing video games, watching youtube, playing guitar, and creating music. I do know how things are supposed to sound on them because I do everything with them and I think it's helped my mixes without really thinking about why.

ok, but what happens when the mix or song is processed so well, to the point it's way too perfect for the band to duplicate live on stage? in the reality of the real world music not supposed to be perfect ; there are flaws imbedded within the song.. but there comes a point in which the processing is too good, to the point in which the live band can't reproduce the same quality on stage unless they lip sink to a track ,& that's when the flaws are noticeable ; take the case of the over processed vocals. I know for a fact many singers can't really sing all that well ,so they rely on the voice correcting software to make them sound better than they really are.. with the advent of all those software programs live bands can't compete live with their own recorded songs. Meaning they are fighting themselves & losing to themselves. How else are bands going to make money? they have to play live & tour.. there's not much money in record CD sales.. at some point band members have to play live..

People can produce top professional mixes with cheap speakers in an untreated room. But only if the mix is later double checked on several different speakers and rooms which takes time. Also it depends on the genre. For rock music you dont need to care so much about the bass as you would need for reggae - and if you cannot hear the bass precisely its not possible to get a good mix.

Analog vs. digital? When it comes to mixing it may be close, however, when it comes to recording analog it's unique.

Your videos improved a lot. This is very useful. Or at least I came to the same conclusion and I'm biased, lol.

This was a great "just get to work". How many times we stop or second guess our work because we don't have the most expensive software or hardware?
