    first off, i will like to thank the initiator of this forum. its nice to have a place to share ideas and issues in this field. for me am kind of dynamic in my use of plugins but i have really stuck with waves and fabfilter for mixing and right now am having a little romance with the new neutron 2 from izotope. well reasons why i like the neutron is take it has this automatic mixing feature that gives u a kind of start suggestion to direct you...for mastering i work with ozone 8 and T-racks 5. both have similar track and reference auto match but the ozone 8 can auto master ur track spot on with different track style presets. keeps my hands away from the knob when am lazy.

Tannoy Reveal Series - The Review

Image
Tannoy has a good reputation. That says a lot about their products because a good reputation takes time to build and in their case, more than half a century. With names like Michael Jackson, Tony Maserati, Beyonce and just about anybody who's anybody in the global music hall of fame written on the package box, you know you've made the right decision right? Well that depends (I'll explain why soon, just read on). This post is a personal review of the Tannoy Reveal 502 and it's safe to say since the technology is the same across all siblings in the reveal series, the following should also be true about the 402 and 802. Physical Appearance I wouldn't say Tannoy Reveals are the cutest monitors to look at and I would have preferred an LED at the front not rear panel just for aesthetics and to make you more aware your speakers are on.  Oyibo have a name for everything and one I was particularly happy to see was "poke resistant tweete...

Compression For Mixing - What The Pro's Don't Tell You

Image
The internet is already replete with so many resources on compressors and what they do. So pardon me if I skip to the chase and talk about the compressor from an application point of view. This post aims at helping you know what to expect sonically when you turn those dials on your compressor plugins and how to apply this musically to a mix. Important note!   For teaching purposes, we are going to assume a fixed gain reduction ratio of 3:1 and the threshold set to a level where the compressor begins to work. For more information on compressor parameters - threshold, ratio, attack and release please visit link Uses of compressors in a mix There are two basic uses of compressors in a mix: 1. Dynamics Control. 2. Depth placement. 1. Dynamics Control As history tells us, this is the trigger that inspired what we know today as a Compressor. Man wanted a way of averaging the loud and more quiet portions of a conversation, so they created a device that a...

Maschine, Push & MPC

Image
Figuring out a name for this post was harder than writing it because I couldn't think of a general category to place all three. Groove boxes? Sure, but they do much more than that. Midi controllers? Yes but that still doesn't nail it. DAW controllers? Yes but the MPC live and X can operate solo. So what the hell are they? Maschine, Push and MPC. They're pretty, they're stylish, they make you feel like you're actually doing something not just looking at your monitor as you drag the mouse around. They give you a hands-on feel during production. But the most important question still remains this, will they improve your sound? Let's find out! What do they do? In a nutshell, these controllers have embedded in them - literally all the important functions needed in music production and these functions can be accessed using the pads, buttons, knobs and encoders found on the machines. That means you can comfortably make a beat from s...
