gday everyone.

I was just wondering if anyone had any links or advice for the right use of Eq and compression to clear up instruments such as:

Kicks
Hats
Snares
Strings
Bass
Keys
ETC.

I generally make hip hop (ish) music. I am very interested in mastering sound.

Thankyou for your help guys

Hello i am new to this site and to enginering and have had a search and can't seem to find any compression setting examples for drum kits, guitars bass electric acoustic, vocals, synth, piano etc it would be great if someone knows of any good links etc outlining ratios and thresholds release attack settings for me to explore as i keep on making a right mess of my tracks.

I’ve been using Adobe Audition for the last couple years and all of my mixing experience has been on a computer screen. So, less familiar with signal routing in the analog realm, I was slow to pick up on ‘effects sends’.

I've no experience with live vocal effects. I have a very soft voice and have gotten it to a satisfactory sound in recording with a doubling effect. I'm wondering what the best way is to do that live? I've done some searching and found:

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as far as the standards used in mastering for radio as far as eq and compression goes? I ask because I have some crappy songs lying around that I would like to experiment mastering techiniques on. Any and all responses woud be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I need a primer on multi band compression/expansion. I have heard it is good for removing unwanted reflections from dialog recordings, but I'm a little muzzy on the hows and whys. Any insight would be appreciated.

hello

i'd like to know what you guys do to seperate the parts of a song dynamically.
i often find when i mix something, although i like the overall sound, there's no real seperation between, let's say, the verse and the chorus. i'd like the chorus to be "louder" than the rest without just making it louder.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone on here has any recommendations on EQ settings on the AMEK 9098 and Gain and Threshold Settings on the LA-2A and either use compress or limit. Im not familiar with these units and there capablitys, I came from a home recording enviornment and was asked to engineer a friends album in a corporate studio.

Hi there! I’ve been experimenting with the Waves Renaissance Channel plugin , and particularly the “Push the pop master” preset. It’s a pretty simple process. First, a +2db low-shelf at 250Hz and a +4dB high-shelf at ~ 3.3KHz. The EQ stage is followed by a compressor operating over the full mix, but with the side-chain bandpass filtered at 120Hz.
