I recently picked up a PreSonus 1818VSL and got back into the recording game. I haven't done anything with my stuff in over 10 years. I used to use SONAR and had fairly decent results. My recordings are pretty close to what things sound like live but whenever I mix something down, it always sounds thin and quiet when compared to an "actual" recording from a decent studio.

Hi guys and girls !
I just found out the Fabfilter issued a new version of their excellent Limiter
They included level compensation to avoid being tricked with the volume change
And Yes finally : LUFS metering !
I'm gonna love it, I'm sure,,, (where's my credit card ?)

Hi, I'll try to start learn about SpectraLayers and I'm going to watch some video tutorials and read articles.

Anyway, it seems, in a primary view, that the tool was designed mainly for mixing.

Is SpactraLayers useful for mastering too? Is it a kind of very advanced Samp's Spectral View? Which is its main purposes: clean files, merge files or general editing?

So I watched a video of this guy taking me through the analog mastering process, but I was wondering...

This is where I spent much of the last two days. I can admit being a little nervous having my mixes scrutinized in a room like this, but it all seemed to work out okay.

I have a lot of old projects made in Samplitude Pro X, which has its default Parametric EQ.

Whenever I open these old projects in Samplitude Pro X3, the standardized EQ in the objects is still the old Parametric and not the current EQ116. :confused:

Hello all! A little question:

When we right click on the AUX slot either in Track Editor or in Object Editor, 3 options appear: AUX/Output (Direct), AUX/Output (Pre) and AUX/Output (Post).

I know and understand very well about 'Pre' and 'Post', but I don't know what mens 'Direct'...

I would like to know what you all think about this: which, in your opinion, is the best workflow for mastering an album:

1 - 2 tracks (as traditionally compares to a game of chess);
2 - each song in its own track, so the project will have much more than 2 tracks (usually 10 or more tracks)

I work at a radio station and years ago my boss asked me to adjust the intro on Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here'.
Quick reasoning is that the transmitter automatically calls everyone when there's perceived 'dead air' and the intro was tripping the transmitter so it needed to be beefed up a bit.

Hello. I'm an academic at Macquarie University. My colleagues and I are currently conducting a research project on mastering - how the practice is perceived and the impacts of 'DIY mastering' and online mastering services like LANDR. We're really keen to get the perspectives of professionals who master audio for a living.
