  • You, good sir, just earned my subscription. :D Good tips, I'm new to audio recording and mastering. Fortunately, I'm already versed in EQ, compression, and FX mixing of virtual instruments.

  • @zapzzapzzapz except to ppl dont know wtf a highpass filter is or headroom which would be the only ppl looking at this vid in the 1st place

  • thank you so much for this!

  • Great Video! Keep up the great work!

  • 5 mins to say: Low cut is good to use, when you don't need sub. Cleans the whole mix and gives more headroom. 5 mins?

    Yawn.

  • yea no high pass filters... just let the rumbles roam free... free range organic rumbles...

  • i smelt a butt 2day

  • There's an old rule which still applies today that's very, very important for professional, high quality vocals, "Always compress to tape". With digital recording, it still applies. Vocals need compression at the front end before they go to your recording device. You can add more once it's recorded, but it must sound perfect before it's recorded. Use this philosophy when recording everything...Drums, guitars, bass, etc.. When compressing, "less is more". Everything cannot be solved in post.

  • @christopherisbored man, i was wondering it some time ago.. but now i know, hehe, look for a program called "Guitar Rig" :D
