HOW do you Record your screen in Protools "Cam Studio"? Ive been having problems with this...I use Cam studio..I can record anything else through my PCI card, but dont cant get audio when I try to record tutorials.
@tushar223 you dont need that exact compressor-seriously...just download a handful and see which one you prefer...alot of them are quite good/do nearly the exact same thing...:)buy wave arts powersuite 5...great plug-ins for not alot of money..
i like dnb with subby kick, sidechaining works fine here, there's a real lack of proper mixes in Dnb with all this super cutting of freqs that might clash, Doesn't sound great.
gud stuff man, u want bass but i fink ur idea making the sound more prominant is more importand i produce hard house i feel u just need to hear only bit of bass ull have the main bassline come in anywayz

Back again to say this is a really really nice setup for dnb, I started making dnb about 6 month ago, and been looking for a compression to give my kicks that extra bump. Just picked up SSL and it really did the trick for me.
The only thing I need now is a thorough walk through of beat compression, because I haven't really understood what everything does yet.
You know any good tutorials explaining the basis of compression?
hey mate im in the process of purchasing a dsp. Im tossing up between liquid mix 16 or ssl pcie card. Just wondering what your thourghts of each are. SSl is alot more expensive but ill save a few more pennies if its worth the extra $
oh and I scratch my head at some new trance stuff like testio . The music seem very soft and yet bright . Do pros master each sound then mix them then master the whole track .... I would like to see how the mix sounds before mastering .
what is the best compressor for sidechaining ? Im working on a deep trance track right now and not to happy with Cubase Compressor for sidechaining. it takes away some of the natural sound but I need the Airy like Duck. Anyone who would like to check it out il post it to get help on it ..
a problem im having is that my vocals will have peeks like if a say something with a T or something and yes i have a pop filter but its still very loud and harsh on the ears... when i try to compress it the whole track is compressed... do u have any advice?
hey i've got a question about cubase. so if I buy cubase 5, does it come with eq's and compressors and some basic effects all wrapped into it or do i need to buy those separately with other programs?
I have a Good question ! Why is it when I upload audio to youtube it sounds awful !! ? But then I hear other mixes that sound clear and clean ! Not saying I cant mix well but youtube seems to be anti-underground music . So I just stopped posting music on youtube and looking for a good music site thats not Myspace music or soundclick
lol, so glad tech has advanced since the past. back in 90' i was stuck having to use fuckin triggers to tweak & dampen my kicks. hi-frequency kicks ass though.
'' LITTLE MORE MID '' ??? MID IN THE KICK ??? I dont think you should be spreading faulty information mate. INSTEAD OF THAT dig a huge hole between 350 - 550 hz in the kick drum track....
Great tips for that genre. I produce primarily live bands, and find the principles applied to kick processing almost completely opposite in my work. It's interesting:
2-3db boost between 55-62Hz; 5-10db reduction between 200-300Hz, and a 3-6db boost between 2-4k to bring out the beater. For a punchy, tight live kick, it's a great formula. Cheers!
@HarakiriGTR That's the compressor that's part of the Waves SSL Channel-strip plugin and he's using it in Cubase, Nuendo, Cubendo, or Nuebase, or whatever you want to call Steinberg's DAW's these days. lol..
sidechain the bass Teach me what that means I want to learn !! Also do you have a video teaching what each knob will do please . Iv been playing Piano for 14 years but now I want to lay it out on audio . Please teach me something !!
How can I transpose in semitones? I've got fl studio 8 and I am using a casio privia, as a midi controller. Unfortunately, the transpose keys does not work for fl studio's sampler sounds and/or the vsti plugin instruments.
Now...short of having to buy another keyboard midi controller...can I, somehow, transpose withing fl studio, itself?
I've scourged the internet to no avail for an answer.
i for one like a fatty tub sound with low sub .. i guess cuz u guys are white u automatically hi pass filter around 25 hurts
i love a nice 50 cycle boost not to much u can mess a mix up by going crazzy but a lil bit goes a long way dont just roll it off.. its not a vocal its a kick drum .. its okay for it to sound like it has balls.. i have a krk v 12 sub
You roll off the low end in DnB because you're going to have a huge 60Hz-ish sub bass sitting under it. That has enough "balls" without a subby kick to interfere with it.
Sorry, I dont need you to correct me - I know that Hz is the abbreviation, I was quoting someone else because they seemed to be making a race/skin colour issue issue. Read and understand the context things are written in before you comment/correct people ok?
@tubemech i noticed when every i see a live show if a white guy is manning the bord theres no low end but if a black guy is doing the sound shyt is thick!!..lol
I know where you're going with this, but it's best kept for a stand up comedy gig rather than something written - people may not be able to tell if you're being serious or semi-sarcastic. You know how it is - people can take things the wrong way when they read shit. I understand what you mean, but I consider myself & my friends a large exception - we grew up listening to hiphop & jungle, & most producers I knew were white & always emphasised the bass. Generalising isnt good!
AngellOfficial for your info a Urei 1176 is a Limiter :). if your looking for a good eq from the 80's find your self a GML 8200 or full or mid range Pultec,
woutvgelder any lower than 40 HZ is insane and nearly inaudible low end travels like the flu so be carefull. also this vid is a little less than informative kick recomendations from a pro. boost a bit of 100-150 HZ and boost 3-4.5 k will get you the beater ( snap) also play with your gate and compresion atack and realease to make punchy.
@ Iluvtrance69, you must have something in your ears, you NEED and iLok to try it b4 you buy it wiseguy! To you all, I am a Pro Engineer and if you all keep using shitty stuff, your end product will continue to be shitty
A compressor/limiter is a band-aide solution. Use the right head combination. Tune the drum and EQ properly. If you are using take n' bake sounds, become very skilled with EQ. Remember; when equalizing, you can boost very little but you can cut to the extremes. Overall clarity is the goal.
Alot of differnt drum patterns and differents need a different sounding kick and snare....Mostly the slower and more steady the kicks are , the heavier they have to sound to sound good. In this case, the drum rytym is quite quick, so it needs a more 'light' exprience, so the snare and kick are more equal, and blend together more as one. It just depends on the style, and mostly on the speed and pattern for drums you're using what sounds best.
Wow! The comments were more entertaining than the vid. Great info though.
To all that are hating on this guy's technique, make sure you know what you're talking about before you go ranting on Youtube.
Compression is not just to even sounds, but to shape the volume envelope, just in most cases, the desired shape is flat. Here, that's not the case, as you want a sharp pop and cut the tail to silence.
dont get me wrong people, this isnt a guideline for all kicks in all genres. It just may be applicable in some styles of DnB. If i were to boost the fundamental of this kick (approx 60-80Hz) then it would clash with the sub. I could do that but then would need to sidechain the bass so not to clash. Tis just a guide, not the holy grail of guides. U guys dont have to be so serious :o) For DnB, kicks below 80Hz need rolling off generally, not always. Its just a guideline!
hey mate.just wondering where i can get this compressor your using.went on solid state logic's site and duende also but cant find this exact compressor.
@specialistsound And a damn sweet one if this your lucky. This was the perfect solution for a few of my tracks!
If anyone would ever say that "this is a wrong way to compress" then they are not thinking about what they are saying.
There are literary millions of ways to tweak and fiddle with every single little detail of every sound in every single digital track ever made, so please don't be so daft to say there is a wrong way of doing something in general =)
@FinalFragment I agree! There is no wrong way to mix, everything is subjective and in the end, the finished product is all that matters and no one, will be able to tell what you did if you did it right.
what your saying cannot be applied to every genre... this guy is talkin about DnB, and what he is talkin about most DnB guys do.... whats there to hate?
It sounds good with the SSL Comp but you could eq it (properly) first and take some of that low end out. Then maybe you wouldnt need to be so aggressive with the comp? To me it just sounded like the kick had more attack but the annoying bass frequencies were still there, albeit not as dominating and noticeable as before. Also, I thought it ended up too loud in the mix.
You should take frequencies out before adding them shouldnt you?
This trick works with modern electronic and dance styles of music because all your really listening too is the ambience of compression and eq. Its like it breathes.
There is so much 'noise' up there, you need to add hi freq to a bassdrum just to hear it.
Tradtionally, this is actually a bad mix being over compensated, but for drum and bass in this example, it sounds more exciting since drums are the focus.
Disagree, the SSL G & E series Eqs are probally some of the most frequently used Eqs in the music industry (Plugins or Externally), topped off with the all famous SSL Stereo Buss Compressor, if you have the cash, SSL eqs and compression will never disappoint. if you have a Dongle iLok, go to Waves and download a demo and see if you dont miss it when the demo is up
The bass should leave room for the kick, and all the midrange instruments should leave room for the bass.
I would use hi-pass filters on most instruments above the bass to leave room. Another trick is EQing the kick and bass towards different frequenies; one high, the other low. Doesn't matter which, could be bass around 100Hz and kick around 50-60Hz, but together you get so much more clarity that way than attempting to mesh them together along with the lows from the guitars.
Thats helped me alot, thanks for that, ive been having trouble with coliding frequencies. Thats a tight Kick and snare sample youve got, ive been looking for samples like that for ages!
Yeah, he said 50hz not 15hz. I'm sure your pitch conception can't be that bad. Beside, human are animal. Dogs are animal too. How come they can hear 15hz and we can't. Not cool man.
@woutvgelder , Glad someone knows that, i always see sessions people send me where kids are trying to pump out low frequencies from there sub and kick. SECRET is though, on on your kicks and subs and basses, come up with a method where you can boost between 30hz and 80hz and cutoff at 25hz, reason being, in the club when your shit is playing loud, noone can hear below 25 hz, its just unwanted muddy noise
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Steinberg baby, the new era of recording audio, the new leaders for post production and music production. the new leaders have walked in through the door, protools is old school jejeje lolz lets get with the program here people! Steinberg - Nuendo & Cubase baby! simply the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
not at all Fukdyamum..Clipping in a 24 bit domain is still (even tho i may have the headroom) a no no. Dianna gutted is right. where a limiter can brickwall a signal over a threshold (given the algorithm/VC spectrum of given wiring within given hardware amps/comps etc), a compressor allows you to shape the sound (similar to an ADRR) to alter given points within with ADSR to how you want it and by how much.
You're over criticising for the sake of it. At least lets banter in dialogue :o)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
your compressing it for no reason? obviously u have not set your kick at 0db because you would have no headroom, u just EQ'd that kick with a compressor for some reason? why didn't you just use some EQ, a compressor is an adjustable limiter for when u have no room left to gain
The compression setting used allows for the first part of the kick to come through before the compression effects the tail, this gives a snappy sound. The EQ before the compressor is used to bring up the higher frequencies and the compressor controls it. A compressor is not just a limiter it can also, as in this case be used to alter the shape of the sound.
Yeah that would be one way of altering the shape of the sound and you may want that type of sound but the video shows (although there is no mention of) a compressor set up with a few ms of attack to allow the initial kick of the beat to come through befor the compression is applied.
"a compressor is an adjustable limiter for when u have no room left to gain"
Are you being serious here? If that's all you use compressors for you are seriously missing the point.
Compressors can be used to affect the dynamic qualities of a sound. Compression brings up the overall noise floor while not allowing the sound to clip. So the sound is squashed but not distorted. This means you lose dynamics, but gain phatness.
set a threshold to -0.1db, set your attack to 0.0ms release to as high as possible there you have a clipper, it can be used for effects also, like sidechaining the bass or synth to the kick, it is to level out dynamics so they sound as full as all the other sounds in the track, dont talk to me like i dont no what i am talking about, its an (adjustable) cliper the reason it makes things more dynamic is, it clips off wave peaks so the quiter elements in the sound will now sound louder
This is a great video

If i were to boost the fundamental of this kick (approx 60-80Hz) then it would clash with the sub. I could do that but then would need to sidechain the bass so not to clash. Tis just a guide, not the holy grail of guides. U guys dont have to be so serious :o) For DnB, kicks below 80Hz need rolling off generally, not always. Its just a guideline!

@specialistsound And a damn sweet one if this your lucky. This was the perfect solution for a few of my tracks!
If anyone would ever say that "this is a wrong way to compress" then they are not thinking about what they are saying.
There are literary millions of ways to tweak and fiddle with every single little detail of every sound in every single digital track ever made, so please don't be so daft to say there is a wrong way of doing something in general =)

@FinalFragment I agree! There is no wrong way to mix, everything is subjective and in the end, the finished product is all that matters and no one, will be able to tell what you did if you did it right.

i hate the sound of that kick.
how is this guy gonna say to boost
110hz ?
the fundamental of every kick is pretty much 60hz.. this guy says cut out everything under 80... i hate this video.

what your saying cannot be applied to every genre... this guy is talkin about DnB, and what he is talkin about most DnB guys do.... whats there to hate?

I compared Waves SSL and DSP Board SSL with the same settings, they sound different, DSP sounds more natural, and yes, i have SSL Duende
andriukasast 2 years ago
It sounds good with the SSL Comp but you could eq it (properly) first and take some of that low end out. Then maybe you wouldnt need to be so aggressive with the comp? To me it just sounded like the kick had more attack but the annoying bass frequencies were still there, albeit not as dominating and noticeable as before. Also, I thought it ended up too loud in the mix.
You should take frequencies out before adding them shouldnt you?
Thats just MHO anyway.

This trick works with modern electronic and dance styles of music because all your really listening too is the ambience of compression and eq. Its like it breathes.
There is so much 'noise' up there, you need to add hi freq to a bassdrum just to hear it.
Tradtionally, this is actually a bad mix being over compensated, but for drum and bass in this example, it sounds more exciting since drums are the focus.

LOL LOL
But I understand.
I said the same thing few years ago, and I said that because i knew nothing about sound and EQing.
Today, I only use SSL and API.
And you will soon.
Just because they are the greatest EQ ever made on vst.
:D

I am not saying SSL stuff are bad.. have you used PULLTEC EQs? (I dont know if they make plugin virsions... but why not)
If you used pulltec right.. I doubt you come back for SSL..
Also, try NEVE, Universal Audio.. cant beat them.

Disagree, the SSL G & E series Eqs are probally some of the most frequently used Eqs in the music industry (Plugins or Externally), topped off with the all famous SSL Stereo Buss Compressor, if you have the cash, SSL eqs and compression will never disappoint. if you have a Dongle iLok, go to Waves and download a demo and see if you dont miss it when the demo is up

The bass should leave room for the kick, and all the midrange instruments should leave room for the bass.
I would use hi-pass filters on most instruments above the bass to leave room. Another trick is EQing the kick and bass towards different frequenies; one high, the other low. Doesn't matter which, could be bass around 100Hz and kick around 50-60Hz, but together you get so much more clarity that way than attempting to mesh them together along with the lows from the guitars.

Yeah, he said 50hz not 15hz. I'm sure your pitch conception can't be that bad. Beside, human are animal. Dogs are animal too. How come they can hear 15hz and we can't. Not cool man.

WE are not animals NathanLee0921.. We are Humans.. Animal cells are diff from humans. Too much Darwin on your system...
New borns and very young kids can hear well but as you grow old, 20kHz is a thing of the past..
And yes to your question... a compressor smacks down anything pass the threshold you set to attenuate.... Can also be used to accent transient..
AND for all.. 44khz is already High Def.. any other square harmonics over 44k is a waste of hard disc space.
girotube 2 years ago
@woutvgelder , Glad someone knows that, i always see sessions people send me where kids are trying to pump out low frequencies from there sub and kick. SECRET is though, on on your kicks and subs and basses, come up with a method where you can boost between 30hz and 80hz and cutoff at 25hz, reason being, in the club when your shit is playing loud, noone can hear below 25 hz, its just unwanted muddy noise
AngellOfficial 2 years ago
"come up with a method where you can boost between 30hz and 80hz and cutoff at 25hz,"
Use a 31-band EQ + compressor / multiband-compressor.
End a 25 Hz hipass is great ;)

astralum 2 years ago
not at all Fukdyamum..Clipping in a 24 bit domain is still (even tho i may have the headroom) a no no. Dianna gutted is right. where a limiter can brickwall a signal over a threshold (given the algorithm/VC spectrum of given wiring within given hardware amps/comps etc), a compressor allows you to shape the sound (similar to an ADRR) to alter given points within with ADSR to how you want it and by how much.
You're over criticising for the sake of it. At least lets banter in dialogue :o)
specialistsound 3 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
your compressing it for no reason? obviously u have not set your kick at 0db because you would have no headroom, u just EQ'd that kick with a compressor for some reason? why didn't you just use some EQ, a compressor is an adjustable limiter for when u have no room left to gain
fukdyamum 3 years ago
The compression setting used allows for the first part of the kick to come through before the compression effects the tail, this gives a snappy sound. The EQ before the compressor is used to bring up the higher frequencies and the compressor controls it. A compressor is not just a limiter it can also, as in this case be used to alter the shape of the sound.
DianaGutted 3 years ago 2
yes by clipping it
fukdyamum 3 years ago
Yeah that would be one way of altering the shape of the sound and you may want that type of sound but the video shows (although there is no mention of) a compressor set up with a few ms of attack to allow the initial kick of the beat to come through befor the compression is applied.
DianaGutted 3 years ago

@fukdyamum
"a compressor is an adjustable limiter for when u have no room left to gain"
Are you being serious here? If that's all you use compressors for you are seriously missing the point.
Compressors can be used to affect the dynamic qualities of a sound. Compression brings up the overall noise floor while not allowing the sound to clip. So the sound is squashed but not distorted. This means you lose dynamics, but gain phatness.
Without compression dance music would not exist!!
MadJewelz 2 years ago 2
set a threshold to -0.1db, set your attack to 0.0ms release to as high as possible there you have a clipper, it can be used for effects also, like sidechaining the bass or synth to the kick, it is to level out dynamics so they sound as full as all the other sounds in the track, dont talk to me like i dont no what i am talking about, its an (adjustable) cliper the reason it makes things more dynamic is, it clips off wave peaks so the quiter elements in the sound will now sound louder
fukdyamum 2 years ago
So you mean a compressor lower the louder dynamic while keeping the soft dynamic the same? In this way the song will sound more evenly?
