The Perfect Piece of Gear to Achieve the “Perfect” Mix

February 3, 2014 By rfwebmus

There you are, halfway through your latest mix, when you see it. An interview with Johnny Mixerguy endorsing the SuperRadLowEnderizer 2001x. Holy balls, this piece of gear (comes in plugin form, too) is an absolute game changer. Nothing will be the same after this. You simply can’t get as big and tight of a
low end without it. Years of research and expertise went into making it and your mix simply can’t compete if the SRLE2001x isn’t a part of your signal chain.

High-handed-hogwash, I declare! Listen, gear is great. I love gear, you love gear. Any mix engineer who is worth his salt salivates like it’s Christmas morning and Santa has been good this year when he gets a new piece of gear. But the simple fact is: you don’t need that fancy piece of gear for a bad-ass mix.

If you give a good mixer a DAW, one compressor plugin, one EQ plugin, and maybe throw a distortion plugin his way just for fun; he can create a great mix. Anything above that is just icing on an already delicious cake.

I challenge you to take on the “No More New Gear” policy for 6 months to a year. Whatever mixing set-up you have right now; stick with it and only it. Learn it through and through. Get good at limiting yourself and thereby getting creative with the tools you already have and end the constant drooling over what you don’t have. Stop looking at ads for the latest and greatest earth shattering toys and start exploring the inner workings of what you already have. Because you know what? You don’t need the new gear.

Also, get at good at not making excuses for your mixes. Never, ever, ever say “Well, my mix would be just as good as Johnny Mixerguy’s if only I had…or if only my tracks were recorded with…”

No more. Even if your tracks were recorded into an original 16-bit ADAT using all SM-57′s, don’t let that become an excuse. The moment you start allowing excuses to make up for your mix’s weakness is the moment you stop busting balls to make your mix better.

It’s an excruciating process. You will always feel like you’re not good enough at mixing, like you’ll never get to the level you want for yourself. Feeling insecure about your mixes? Guess what…the rest of us all feel that way, too.

But that’s part of the process of getting good. Make no excuses except that you need to work harder and more often at perfecting your craft. I guarantee you that, if you stick it, you will achieve the level you want. (And THEN you can buy the SuperRadLowEnderizer 2001x)

Audio Editing

February 2, 2014 By rfwebmus

This is about audio editing. So, far I have been editing pictures and creating videos and I must say that’s my forte however, as far as audio editing is concerned I have never tried my hands on in this before. Thanks to audio editing Flipped Lecture I learned something new. Though I am an amateur in this field but I am glad that I opened my doors to learn something new.

Audio editing is an amusing experience to record and edit music. I remember when I was young I used to record music but I never edited it apart from some song sequences for dance at a family function. There are some free software’s, which helps in editing audio tracks, such as Audacity, or Garageband (this is exclusive for Mac), Audio tool that is similar to Garageband it lets you create complex audio arrangements with some effects, Tunekitten Audio editor which is lightweight audio app and provide basic effect features however you cannot directly record, Reaper is another compact workstation through which you can record, edit, mix and put layers, etc. This is compatible with all the operating systems but you can use editor with Internet and it does have some cost involve post trial period is over.

Out of all the audio editors I liked Audacity, as it is excellent software for audio recording, editing, mixing and compatible with Linux, windows and Mac OS.

I would suggest before you initiate your recording project set Audacity preferences in the dialog box as this will help in ensuring the playback options are correctly set. Ideally set 44100hz and 16-bit as your sample format which is a standard frequency for CD and broadcast, I gathered this information while browsing some of the tutorials, which I believe is quite helpful tip. Audacity is very simple software to use and not at all complicated. The best thing about Audacity is it lets you record with multi track frameworks. All the tools are placed at the top, which makes it user friendly as well.

Audacity

Oh I must tell you, Audacity comes with automatic crash recovery as well, so you can be assured you will never lose your work.

I have not created any tutorial nor I am showing what I experimented with Audacity rather I am providing you with some tutorial links so that you can experiment by your self and enjoy the art of audio editing. But, if you would like to try your hands on Garageband I have given link and for rest ‘GOOGLE’
