Analyzing software

I use Pro Tools LE on a Mac. I've been using both Waves PAZ and the Ionizer Demo to analyze good sounding commercial CDs.

It's my belief that the clairty and extra loudness of a commercial CD has to do with what is taken out.

My mixes sound fine, but they don't approach the loudness of a commercial CD.

What analyzing software do you all recommend?

drum overhead panning

i was wondering how you guys pan the drum overheads. i had always done a hard left/right pan with the overheads until i read an article recently that suggested a tighter spacing made for a more realistic soundstage (something like 10 and 2 o'clock).

what does everyone else do? do you pan differently based on how you mic'ed the kit (xy vs spaced pair)?

Fairlight

I do.

I'm gonna get one. :cool:
But what would I know?

A Telefunken or Focusrite/Neve sidecar with these?
Or a Peach Audio Savannah sidecar, with a JLMaudio VOC-2 Compressor and a FATSO?

Possibly a UREI 1176 compressor. But I hear they vary a lot and maybe one out of 5 will give you
"the sound". Is this true? :cool:
