Re: The Fourth Offering: a miniature soundscape

[..]maybe add some more lowend soundwise (not to the drums, to the synths)? I -did- rather crudely apply a low-shelf with the EQ to damp frequencies <60Hz on the master. The change wasn't too audible on my headphones, but maybe I damped a bit too enthusiastically... Thanks for your feedback, it's a...

Re: Take 3: Shades Of Memory

Those drums are really nice! As are the synth sounds, esp that acid sound (that I usually don't like). :) Thanks! I was quite impressed with the drumbeat myself :) It originated in me following your tutorial on multi channel plugins. I thought, why not create something nice to listen to while worki...

Re: Mastering the loudness of a track

I'll leave it at that but hopefully I've given you some ideas if you weren't already aware of these things :wink: Thanks for your input. I was trying to get rid of the peaks in the mastertrack without audible consequences (to be able to amplify the track without clipping) so using a compressor or c...

Re: I am being stalked, please be weary

Internet anonymity:

On the one side, guarding your own privacy is essential to prevent such harrassment by the lowlifes creeping around on the net. On the other side, that same anonymity enables these same creeps to do as they do.

Re: Mastering the loudness of a track

Personally, by the time it comes to treating the master I have lost almost all objectivity and I've definitely destroyed tracks without realising it by getting lost in it all. Also true. In another thread I got the advice to leave a supposedly finished track for a couple of weeks in order to regain...

Either way, limit or clip the individual channels that are causing the large peaks, it will sound much more transparent this way vs trying to do it on the master.

That makes sense. I did make certain the limiter didn't have any (obvious) audible effects though.

Re: Bot members have birthdays too?

I dont get it - what is suspicious, now? It's suspicious because: 1- all forum members who chose to disclose their birthday, and are born on november 6, happen to be of the exact same age (28). 2- their chosen nicknames all have the same format, starting with a sequence of two or three adjacent num...

You could use an invidious instance like this https://yewtu.be/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g

Thanks, that works. But I still have to allow a script from googlevideo.com..(that seems to be just for media playback though)

Re: Mastering the loudness of a track

Any thoughts on using hard-limiting vs using a compressor for said pupose? That's what limiters are for. Just set the threshold to only squash the peaks. A limiter is basically just a compressor with a high compression ratio. Is it then correct of me to assume that the purpose of using a compressor...

Re: The Fourth Offering: a miniature soundscape

I get a nice, subtle mystery flavour from this piece. Glad to hear that! Keep your miniatures coming! It'll be an interesting experiment to find out what the minimum length of a track must be to provide a satisfactory experience. 97 seconds is definitely the shortest finished piece I've ever made. ...

Mastering the loudness of a track

The loudness of my self-made tracks is always much less than any commercial one. The issue in my case seems to be that certain transients have a disproportionally large amplitude for just a single or even half a period. Now, I always thought this could be solved by applying a compressor to the maste...
