Step 2: If the song sucks, the mix is irrelevant

"But Mixerman! How could you say this? A song being good or bad is completely subjective!"

Well, not completely. There ARE certain proven elements to a great song. But I'm not going to go into that right now. This step is about the listener. If the listener hates the song, the mix is irelevant. A mix can only bring a song to its fullest potential.

When do ypu patch in the mix compressor?

I was wondering when people who use mix compression patch it in. I've tried early and later, but haven't determined a method. I don't often use mix compression; I had some bad experiences, with cheap gear, and tended to leave it for mastering. Now that I have nicer units available, I'm going to try again.

Thanks for the advice :D

Declicker, fix for PT 5 mix (mac)

If you have given up using the Steinberg DeClicker plugin I have finally found the fix!

1.) close PT. then remove the DeClicker plugin located in the systems folder in DAE folder and put it into the plugins(unused) for now

2.) boot up PT to set a new cache

3.) close PT

4.) put the DeClicker plugin back into the DAE plugin folder
