Explain ohms in relation to mic cable length.

>>689539390
The longer the cable the greater the ohmic resistance meaning you get a shitty signal and a hot wire. Is that really your test of my honesty?

>>689539048
Should you compress bass pre master or wait till you master

>>689539489
Depends. If it's a DI bass guitar I'd compress during mixing. If you're recording an amped bass it can depend on the sound you want

OP needs to go shit/shower/shave real quick, keep it bumped until I get back. Maybe 15 minutes

>>689539048
How do you mix a kick and a sub bassline without muddyness. Whilst maintaining a bassy kick

Good advice thanks, How do you get a decent master without your track distorting.

>>689542109
Run me through your mastering process

>>689542194
Well i use fl studio, the plug in a use is called "Maximus". There are 3 sections
Low,mid, high, the standard stuff. Each section you can compress so you can get a level sound. In the end raise the overall sound, however i can get mine to a decent loadness whilst not distorting.

>>689542695
Can't*

>>689542695
Ugh, I fucking hate fl. I really don't know how to use it. All I can really say is you're probably over-compressing and reducing the dynamic range, so when you bring the whole track up, you're just getting a solid waveform of distorted shittiness. You need peaks and troughs in your waveform

Can you tell me what a Sound Engineer does?

Also what headphones or speakers do you use?

>>689543199
I record live instruments, mix and master the audio tracks, produce electronic music when needed and release tracks as complete mixdowns.

For what? Personal use, for work, at the studio, at home?

Anybody fluent in nigger want to translate this to english for me?

>>689539481
Lol, how does wireless play in here tho? Not a test just curious. Can u throw like an fml signal a mile or 2 without it sounding like shit or is that frowned upon?

>>689543758
Nigga what? Type in coherent sentences or get the fuck out

>>689543472
I'll simplify it to only headphones. Which are your favorite pair of headphones? And how come you use different pairs at home and at work?

I've noticed a lot of electronic dance music these days lacks 'quality'. There are too many bedroom DJ's who do not seem to understand how to use their software correctly. Even some hit tracks are overloaded with unbalanced middling EQ (especially EDM) or bloated bass. Most are distorted piles of excrement. Do you still do good business considering everyone is their own producer (or think they are) these days?

Op, I'm a 10 year hobbyist and have been using studio one for years. Any general advice before I open my doors for money?

>>689542109

Not OP here but I can give you an answer. First of all don't mix and master on FL studio you pleb.

Anyway, if you want to avoid distortion when mastering you must first use a limiter and set it to a value around -0.1/-0.3db. Then add a bit of compression (2db) and boost the song volume with a soft clipping plugin until it reaches -0.1 DB (or until it's loud enough but don't go beyong 0.0db). If you really want your song to be loud use a brickwall limiter instead of a normal limiter (and fuck you if you're into that loudness war bullshit).

Dre Beat Pros at work, skullcandy at home.

who's the worst band/artist you've ever worked with?

>>689541491
Ah good advice thanks, i have another question. What are some important things to know when EQing in general?

>>689543963
I have bose in ears for my phone, I don't actually know the model because they were a gift. I have a pair of ATH-M30x's at home and my studio uses Sennheiser HD28 pros

I have different pairs because it's not my studio, I work there

>>689544124
I mainly record and mix bands, the EDM side of things is more of a side-gig to keep our skills current

>>689544186
Get a cheap old version of cubase, or pirate it and a shit load of plug ins, and just go ham until it works. Literally. Get prologue, retrologue, and any HALion plugins you can and just suck at it until you don't

>>689544320
Advice on? You're thinking of running your own studio? Or releasing your tracks?

what is your favorite genre to record?

>>689544386
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

>>689544341
Great advice thanks, I'd prefer quality over loudness. But however my sounds are really quite compared to alot of average tracks comparable to mine

Do you just want artists you've heard of? Because the worst divas are always the unknown fucks who think daddy's money can make them superstars
>>689544601
Less is more. Unless you;re going for some specific, noticeable effect, you have to keep EQ subtle. Also, different instruments get different qualities of their sound from different frequency ranges. Find out which frequencies correspond to which qualities and use that to get the exact sound you want. Ans don't be afraid to use EQ to completely drop out a frequency that's causing your problems

>>689544818
Most kinds of metal, then probably solo artists on acoustic

I have this song stuck in my head. I goes like:

do du do - do - do - do-duuuuu

What song is it?

Running my own studio, I have plenty of experience recording for free, mostly for local acts and friends bands, however I have built somewhat of a rapport in the area and my dream is to operate my own studio.

Hello fellow sound engineers, how would you guys microphone a medieval bagpipe in a live environment? It has to be wireless, so the musician is able to move around freely.

>>689545388
Just start charging the people you know and see where it goes from there. I don't run my own studio so I don't really know the ins and outs of the business side of things
