When you have to use EQ like this on a KICK you know you’re in trouble…
“The headliner is on from 10pm till 11, but after that we have DJs till late…”
The sentence no audio engineer wants to hear.
I’m mixing something right now that has two guitars, and as is the custom i’ve got them panned left and right (not hard panned mind you). One guitar is quite dark and dull, and the other bright. I noticed the bright guitar feels like it’s centre panned, while the dark one feels like it’s hard panned even though they are equally panned. Brightening up the dull one makes it appear more in the centre. Strange.
A day at home mixing… turns into a day at home playing League Of Legends too easily ….
When mixing I have the junky’s concentration on junk
Spent yesterday remixing a Hermitude track, “Speak Of The Devil”, for a comp they are holding.
Came out OK.
So I was given a live set to mix by quite a well known band. It’s an hour long and the recording is pretty clear and nice sounding for a live show, but at 13 minutes in the KICK drum mic falls over, or falls out or something. The rest of the set the kick sounds terrible. FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
A limiter on the master output? An audio engineers secret shame…
I do mixing of live recordings. Just picked up the multitracks for a very cool band on an external HDD. 37GBs for one gig.

Was doing a vocal recording session yesterday but Tomoh forgot his lyrics. instead we ripped a few and made some beats. used some samples from a sound check recorded a few months ago as the strange vocal.
i think it turned out pretty well, have a listen
