Hello! I need a short, concise advice on how to make a DDP project in HOFA. I've been always sending a finished project to the pressing plant, but they fucked up last album, so I decided to take it on my own to be sure I did everything properly. I work mainly with live recordings, so I usually don't take 2-second breaks between songs, for obvious reasons. After importing the finished project to

How to Make Clean Masters

When trying to make your master sound clean, it’s a good idea to find and isolate any sources of unwanted noise, such as noise generators, and mute them. Additionally, cutting the side image’s low-frequencies, as well as the mids by up to 20Hz can add some clarity to your master.

I did this video - about how you could clip a mic to a flute. Handy if you need to do a live recording where for either the PA or just for separation, you need to get a mic close in and keep it the same distance from the instrument. Difficult to do with a mic one a boom, as the players never stand still. I used the Shure SM7B as sa comparison and then mounted a cheap lav mic in a small clamp.

Just wondering about anyone's experiences with RND 5088 or API 2448 or SSL ORIGIN? Sound....ease of use....etc?????

Should I be printing treatments on all my instruments and vocal inputs (not effects but phase reverse, hi pass, comp, limiting and EQ) or should I go in dry with only desirable mic placement and gain staging. I do use some eq, comp and spatial plugins on the vocal channel inserts that can all be disabled during mixing….

Another one from last nights set…. This is their male lead singer. I appreciate the feedback. 

I recorded this band last night and spent some time trying to mix it today…. It was quite a chore to say the least…what needs fixing? Please give me a punch list. Here’s two whacks at it

Thanks for any comments
