Hey guys,

Im just a beginner with the whole home recording deal... I have a lot of really close friends who know a ton about this stuff and Ive learned a lot from them but right now I'm recording some music for some people and Ive been noticing that my mix sounds pretty good through itunes and through other programs... through my stereo in my car.. headfones... radio speakers... etc...

Hey everyone,
I'm sure this is a quick fix, but I keep running into this. My mixes sound pretty good when all is said and done...levels are great, not peaking, not too low. then i bounce and bring it into itunes, and the volume is significanlty lower than the avg. song. I've messed with limiting/compressing, but can't quite seem to get it right. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I use Logic and Apogeerosetta 800, everytime I bounce the whole track when finished production, (this will go through a Neve preamp usally.). WHY the song played from logic always sound better from the one bounced?

hope someone can help
:x

cheers

hey everyone quick question. No matter how hard i try, whether it be from garage band and/or Pro Tools, whenever i bounce to disk at 44.1 and 16 bits as well as all other configurations, stereo interleaved, all that good stuff, it changes the original tone once i put it in itunes. As well as the only way i can even get it into itunes is when i drag it to the library.

One of my clients approached me and asked if I could 'master' his recording. I told him that I put MaxI'm and get the overall level up to -.5dB, but I wouldn't do any more than that, and that he'd have to get someone else if he thought it nessissary.

I read this article featuring Daniel Lanois. He mentions the benefits of premixing rhythm guitars, drums, and bass into stereo and then layering the lead sounds to give them more space in the mix.

I'm confused as to why the drums, rhythm guitars and bass should be bounced to stereo before adding lead guitars, vocals, etc.

Does anyone other than me have a problem bouncing tracks from Pro Tools? it always gives me much more low end that what i hear when i play the track in Pro Tools. Does anyone have a solution to this?

So how do I go about getting my song OUT of Pro Tools without bouncing to disk? Im windows based... And what are these products Sony vegas and all that about? they are good for mastering? and how can I use them? I tried busing everything down to one stereo track then recording that, and it worked and all, but how do i get this file out of Pro Tools without bouncing it?

hi guys. .

someone told me that when you bounce your mixdown using the bounce to disk option using pro tools and when you record the entire mix in another new stereo track there is a difference in sound quality (especially the reverb) Is this true?
