I like to experiment with multi-band compression on my down time, to hear how tonal balances can be slightly altered without drastically changing dynamic envelopes.

Subtractive equalization is a great way to remove unwanted frequencies from any audio signal--including sound fx. Because sounds will eventually be compressed and limited, to enhance loudness, no sounds should be irritating to the listener.

Once the audio pieces are in place, the loudness quality control begins.

-18 LUFS is always the target for podcast streaming services.

I'm supposed to be sleeping, but I had a question that was nagging me about LUFS and RMS metering in a session I drafted Friday around lunchtime.

When I get curious, I get back to work.

De-Essing...my least favorite task when balancing a vocal performance, but it's important. Some clients want sizzle; others want smooth top end clarity. I have to split the difference most of the time.

De-Essing...my least favorite task when balancing a vocal performance, but it's important. Some clients want sizzle; others want smooth top end clarity. I have to split the difference most of the time. #Audio #Mixing #SlateDigital

RVox --> API 550A provides, to my ears, a robust muscularity to a vocal signal. Give it a try! #Audio #Mixing #API #Waves #Everyday

Black Coffee ✅ Strong female vocal performance ✅ Experimenting with Waves Tune to create interesting harmonies in the dominant or the relative keys ✅ #Audio #Editing #Mixing #Vocals

Throwback to MacPro Intel Core upgrade to take advantage of 64-bit processing. Most of us working in audio are tangentially amateur computer engineers due to the progress of digital audio. I don't mind learning new skills if I have the time, but I do dislike thermal paste a great deal 😂 #AudioEngineering #computerengineering #headache

The tried-and-true vocal tuning plug-ins are ubiquitous in modern music, so sometimes I experiment with lesser known plugins. I'm liking what I'm hearing so far #Meldaproduction #Audio #Vocals #Mixing #Meldaproduction #Everyday

KICK+BASS AGREEMENT
KICK+BASS AGREEMENT

KICK DRUM and BASS agreement is almost as important as rock solid automation in a mix. Today, over my black coffee, I'm auditioning a heavily saturated kick drum with surgical EQ alongside a soon-to-be punchy bass. #Audio #Mixing #Sidechain #Everyday

VOICE OVER PLATE REVERB
VOICE OVER PLATE REVERB

I'm auditioning reverb settings to help the chorus of voice over takes sit better in the mix. #Audio #Editing #Mixing #Reverb #Everyday

VOICEOVER MOUTH DECLICK
VOICEOVER MOUTH DECLICK

Some speakers have vocal affectations that manifest as mouth clicks. This is perfectly normal; however, it helps to remove them from a recording before dynamic range processing. Accusonus does it once again with their ERA5 Post-Production suite plug-in MOUTH DE-CLICKER. #Audio #Editing #Mixing #Everyday

FORENSIC NOISE SHAPING
FORENSIC NOISE SHAPING

I have already mentioned this amazing noise removal plug-in from Accusonus in previous posts; however, I need to again give a shout out. This plug-in is groovy, especially when tackling forensic audio noise removal. #Audio #Editing #Mixing #Accusonus

NOISESHAPING DISORTED GTR
NOISESHAPING DISORTED GTR

The distorted GTR is a frequency-rich instrument that gets a lot of its character from the amp and the cabinets, respectively. Sometimes a bit of noise shaping pre-EQ can better contain its juice before I get to balancing. #Audio #Editing #DistortedGTR #Mixing #Everyday

SUPERSOAKER LOUDNESS
SUPERSOAKER LOUDNESS

During a phone call today with my client in Los Angeles, he told me he and his collaborators were smiling ear-to-ear while hearing my mix of their single. I smiled too, because I added value to their audio. #Audio #Mixing #HappyClient #EveryDay

UPRIGHT BASS SAMPLE NOISE HUNT
UPRIGHT BASS SAMPLE NOISE HUNT

No one wants to hear noise on their upright bass--especially if the upright bass is a sample. But I cannot simply slap a filter on the signal, and call it a day. So, I decided to noise shape using the ERA5 Noise Remover Pro! This plug-in is amazing! #Audio #Mixing #Accusonus

SMASH AND SHAKE
SMASH AND SHAKE

To my ears and in my studio, this Slate VCC-->FG401-->REVIVAL chain really helped me get more intelligibility on a recent noise removal project, where a reverb removal plug-in did most of the heavy lifting before further processing. #Audio #SlateDigital #NoiseRemoval #Editing #Mixing

Here's a throwback video from my early days of live sound mixing. I was searching for the feedback during soundcheck. Feedback is the worst...😭😂☠️ #Audio #LiveSound #Throwback

TAPE MACHINE WEDNESDAY
TAPE MACHINE WEDNESDAY

I'm experimenting with tape saturation AFTER very gentle 2-Track compression. I do this from time-to-time to make sure I'm not over processing, in order to retain all the character and detail I labored (in love) to highlight in the mix. #Audio #Mixing #Saturation #Audio Engineering
