Re: Stereo widening

I've just tried airwindows Wider, seems promising, thanks for that. I'm currently using Venomode Pivot (Linux VST) and that's sounding pretty good. I'm not sure that's strictly a widener but it's giving me the desired effect. right now I am comparing Fons Adriaensen's (Zita?) Stereo Width plugin to ...

tried some LFS apps what are those? Something I made up :lol: Sorry about that, I meant SPL. My brain is clipping! impulse_responses_stereo-01 has a frequency response correction for my headphones.

my DSP chains are powerd by LSP lol above is headphones, below speakers Thanks for posting. I'm still trying to figure out configuring for headphones. I even tried some LFS apps on my phone but they're all next to useless. I think I'll just need to use my ears to get a consistent level between all ...

Re: 'blast'

That part right at the beginning was nice. If with that, you're meaning the heavy riff coming in at 00:19, that's how it started. I was just rewarding myself for having cleaned up & tuned my main Carla guitar patch, by making some noise ... Then, that riff came up, I thought 'hey, I want to loo...

That's a really good piece of music, I like the guitar work. That part right at the beginning was nice.

That's really impressive for a "one-afternoon-production" :D

Nice, like it :D Sounds great. Good balance between the heavy guitar and the piano, nice soloing.

Re: I'm Getting Better

Take a break, you're putting me to shame! I must be running at half speed, or less :lol:

It's good to try a new direction, you have fun and learn something different. I'm not sure whether I'm jealous of or inspired by your motivation... probably both :D

Re: are you always listening at 83dB SPL? aka/ ISO 226:2003 based loudness compensation

@Capoeira - thanks for the explanation and info, it's very interesting :) I'll look into it a bit more but due to a combination of bilateral frequency loss in my hearing and having to use headphones mainly (music production is in a corner of my living room!), I'm not going to dedicate too much time ...

Ahhh... ok, that's the bit I'm missing. I thought it could be done in software. Thanks.

Re: are you always listening at 83dB SPL? aka/ ISO 226:2003 based loudness compensation

How exactly do I set up loud_comp to calibrate it? I've piped DeaDBeeF through /usr/bin/lsp-plugins-loud-comp-stereo with Jack as a test and audio plays but not sure how to set it up for - "audio system needs to be callibrated for the 83 dB output loudness". Which SPL meter should I use? A...

Re: Rated Blue - "Turnabout" (2020 REMIXES)

...For me the vocals are the worst part of any recording... (a) I don't particularly like my voice... For what it's worth I think you have a good voice, it works great with what I've heard so far. Wait until you hear mine (eventually, I'm getting there slowly with my remixes) :lol: I wish it was as...

Re: Rated Blue - "Turnabout" (2020 REMIXES)

Good songs, my favourite is probably "When You Got A Name". I agree with Nachel on the vocal (the first two tracks) where there's a big echo to the left. I found that distracting. I thought the mix was too "muddy" in the part that started at 1:49 on "Man On A Wire". Jus...
