Terry Howard winner of 3 Grammy Awards in 2005 for album of the year, record of the year, and best engineered album, gives a mixing Tip he learned from Ray Charles himself.
I'm not sure that I agree that the vocals should be 7 db above the mix (or 7db above the rest of the band).
In a lot of music (Steam's Na, Na Hey Hey... and AC/DC comes to mind), the vocals are so loud I cannot keep the volume up as high as I would like, as the vocals become painfully loud; yet the drums sound burried, and lack some kick.
Maybe AC/DC's vocals were recorded at 9 or 10 db above the band; don't know.
Yes, the vocals should never be lost. But some studios over do it.
"a good salesman"? This guy worked with Ray Charles and Barbara Streisand, you fucking idiot. You don't know what the fuck you are saying so just shut the hell up.
I think better investment for consumer will be in getting a "right" computer processor,.. ,..and finding "proper" power supply,...but that process is very complex for average not well informed and experienced consumer. So,...lesson about digital world will cost ,..a most.
ilive in Australia and would have flown anywareto go to that ,ibelieve or should say guessing to be a aes convention, to speak with that man for five minutes a true master in my opinion CAPTURE THAT MOMENT ,THANKS
horrible vocal advice... it's called music... Not attention, seeking artistry. Music!!!!
