    Question about mixing

    totally agreed. Ive offered my mastering services as a prize on the battle that competition. My offer is to either master the winners beat, if its an instrumental, or give them a mastering credit to use for when they have vocals laid on top

    Studio Monitor Type Headphones??!

    I know this thread is old, but for checking mixes (Id advise to use cans really to check mixes - not as a replacement for monitors), you need open back cans. Closed back designs will be inherently challenged by their designs. Look at Sennheisser HD 650 or HD600s, or Grado RS1s or RS2s

    5 Common Qualities in TOP 10 Songs Of the YEAR

    Right, what Im saying though, is that emotion is subjective....different people have different emotions triggered by different things. I agree with you by the way, I just think that using emotion as a concept is too abstract. Remember Im a mastering engineer by trade, so I completely...

    5 Common Qualities in TOP 10 Songs Of the YEAR

    I think this comes closest to it for me, but.....the emotion thing....what are the properties of the songs that trigger this emotional response from the majority record buying public? Im also not sure about the harmonics thing. I guess you suggested odd order harmonics because they're...

    5 Common Qualities in TOP 10 Songs Of the YEAR

    My only problem with this theory is that it assumes a majority demographic with the same emotional triggers. Then again this may be bang on the money. I certainly dont have a 'top ten' taste in music....but if it does come down to this, are we saying then that the majority of punters are...

    Thanks Hypnotist All excellent points. The first one made me chuckle. Ive had clients in the studio who had a good vision, but not necessarily the best pair of ears, and theyve been sat behind me saying, you know what, I think you need to brighten that snare....can you add some at around...

    Mixing and Mastering Advice

    No worries mate Working as a producer or engineer can be an extremely rewarding thing, but equally there are times when you wish you were doing something different. Just try and remember the reasons you got into it in the first place. If you're not having fun, take a break, and try again...
