That preset could be the thing smashing your dynamics flat avoid presets and use ears. Looks like you have a preset - "FM Broadcast" going I the middle left (is that part of the middle compressor module, I forget how that works). It won't be as "LOUD" on average, but you'll increase your dynamics (personally, I'm not a huge fan of multiband comp plugs). Lower the input drive and compensate by raising the output. I'd bypass the multi band, and use that one.

I'd turn off the LP altogether or raise it. Looks like 100 is boosted, and it drops off quickly below that. The EQ looks a bit severe in the HP and LP. Thank you guys so much again, you're all so helpful!īeen a while since I used those older T-Racks modules, so just a few random opinions here. They used to be worse - but I'm looking to have more dynamic range and less of that block looking wave form. The second one looks to have more dynamics. The first one is one of my tracks that is more of a block. What function in this T-Racks program do I have to decrease in order to have more dynamics and less of a "solid bar" wave form?Ģ. To the guys in this thread or anyone else.ġ. To increase dynamic range, use less compression/limiting when recording or mixing. The dynamic range or level difference between the softest and loudest parts of the track will still be the same. They'll just have peaks that max out at -5db. Bouncing out to -5db will not give your tracks more dynamic range. Jzero - "If the wave-forms are fat sausages, then you've already reduced the dynamic range with lots of compression and/or limiting. How severely you squash the track will affect dynamics." "Anyway, where you set your ceiling will not offer increased dynamics, depending on ratio (actually, lowering the ceiling might decrease dynamics, but if you are already at solid waveforms, that being an audible change is unlikely). Kennybro - Thank you so much, you've got me thinking dynamics now. I might think twice about anything lower than a 320, but that's me. How severely you squash the track will affect dynamics.Īlso, totally agree with Brent, that an MP3 in a pinch for balance and EQ is probably more common practice than many might admit. What fits one thing does not fit another thing.Īnyway, where you set your ceiling will not offer increased dynamics, depending on ratio (actually, lowering the ceiling might decrease dynamics, but if you are already at solid waveforms, that being an audible change is unlikely). He obviously ran it through his standard "process" without consideration of the style a kind of tunnel vision as far as the definition of "good mix." No discernible dynamics, vocals buried beneath chest thumping low-end, etc. His mix of my student's song is just awful.

His rap mixes are popular, they fit the genre and sound like current market. The student "knew a guy," a fairly well-known ME of substantial note who does all rap/hip-hop. We recorded a song written by a student, kind of a Daptone, swampy jazzy piece. I guess it's part of the style for some things. Cement block waveforms signify zero dynamics. Thanks again!I guess depends on the music style. Just that I should de ess my vocals.īut if I bounce it out at say -5db will my tracks have a more dynamic range?ĭoing what do to them? Compressing the vocals then the vocals and the beat together afterwards?

A professional mixer did say my mixes sounded good. It sounds good but the wave form almost looks like a solid bar. Then vompress the vocals with the beat in the t racks fm pre set.
