  1. Perhaps a weird question, but do you actually prefer mp3 for subs? Or do you mind FLAC? Makes little sense now, but perhaps a decade down the road when we have 10x the storage space. Then you have a HQ version at hand.
  2. Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully you can figure something out. The panel seems constipated these days.
  3. damn, you guys have practically a full lineup for vol 3 and vol 2 isn't released yet? I wouldn't mind getting in on the action, if you will have me.
  4. I think the queue has finally ground the judges down.
  5. I would be interested, except for the weekly thing which is too much for me poor old 'ead.
  6. Omnisphere, Trilian, EWQL... looks like you already have some great gear. Maybe you should explain what sounds you want that your current kit can't accomplish.
  7. I think your orchestration is very nice, it's the samples/mixing that is letting the piece down. Not sure if you can get a better mix out of what you have, or potentially try different sounds. Also, the cymbal/swells/tinkly chimes are too loud for my taste. Keep it up!
  8. Recognize the Slate drums, but they sound weak in this context. Would like to hear a louder kick, with more click. Try some parallel compression on the drum bus to beef up the kit as well.
  9. A certain Danny Elfman sounding track left me completely gobsmacked.
  10. So.... contributors can get the disc as well?
  11. Curses. You lucky punks.
  12. Why is the lead vocal stereo widened? I don't know why people do that. Ditch the widener and add some more compression. Vox also seem quite pitchy in areas.
  13. You people are rationalizing too much. It's fun to buy new gear, and it's healthier than a crack addition. So go support the economy.
  14. Yeah I'm definitely hearing a lot of pumping on the mix, which I don't like at the best of times but is completely out of place in orchestral music. Ease up on your bus compressor, or preferably get rid of it.
  15. Sounds kind of dreadful. I'm glad I just do this for a hobby.
  16. Must. Release. Album. Urge to kill.... rising.
  17. Maybe music making isn't for you.
  18. Something is definitely broken. If you can replace the cord, do that. Otherwise, time for a new pair of cans. Unless you know someone who can repair em.
  19. Yes. Better virtual instruments can definitely help. Quality samples are easier to mix. Whether or not you indulge in them depends how much money you want to throw into the bottomless pit of music production. If you have the money and a sweet tooth, go for it.
  20. Alice in Chains - Got Me Wrong
  21. Sad that no one wants to join. I would, but I am slammed with too many project as it is. I haven't even had a chance to work on non-project mixes in months. I'm thinking late summer or fall I'll have everything done.
  22. I'm a big fan of parallel compression. it generally makes a drum kit sound better all around. I tend not to EQ sampled snares much, other than a lower rolloff. It's best to get the right sound at the source, rather than have to do bunch of fancy processing.
  23. It's my middle name.
  24. That one's cool.
