  • i heard what he did on Nick Paul's Primetime, this guy is good!

  • Always love Alvin's analogies. He is a true genius and master. Miss him.

  • PM me for rates

  • Keep it in e.q. on the mix no compression. Masterer no e.q. on the mix enhance the dynamics. Good things to notice, your studio should not use compression on anything it add distortions to the e.q.. Even when using a pedal or a mic, all the sounds should be full, NO LIMITS MEANS NO LIMITERS!!! By the way it sounds like beauty when the e.q.'s all fit on mixdown and then the master is barely touching it and it sounds like he touched a fruity pebble and made it caviar.

  • @bishopdante

    great advice

    do it "wrong" , hehehehe

    i agree, well said bruh, i.e. don't be too predictable.

  • do u know any good mixing engineers that could hook me up with a good price?

  • true, its just that aac is the best quality, but mp3 is the best for songs in terms of its small size.

  • too bad there is no aac players...most people dont notice a difference between was and mp3 anyway

  • DOOOD don't hurt my head.

    Phil Spector made his hit records on a very class A single ended 3 channel desk with valves the size of coke cans. And no EQ. Just big fat volume knobs. 3 of them. Recorded onto mono tape, with a speaker in the toilet for reverb.

    George Martin got a bunch of MONO tape machines and hooked them up to jury rig... the world's first 4 track tape machine. They looped with sellotape.

    K.I.S.S.

    my ass.

  • whichever plugins you want, in whatever order you want.

    It all depends how you want it to sound, and what was recorded.

    Follow your ears.

    Do it "wrong". Don't be boring. Make it spicy.
