Hi everyone, Sorry i couldn t upload the track in the dropbox so I sent a link to Kayo, on Sunday night, maybe I should forward it to the rest of the crew, dunno. ...CheersAlex.
my chaindownsample to 44.1 using RX3 (usually i don't but..)cheersAlex
ArtSta - Light and airy, noise seems a bit high, seems like more EQ/stereo processing was used than in the other versions?
Oh, the mix contained rather strong continuous signal at about 25k and above. I wonder what's this ?I can see that my fades were gone for some reason (it happens from time to time) and I did not fix it- just let you know.BestArt
The number of bytes described in the IFF size (46199192) is smaller than the size of the file. This means there are unused bytes in this file, which can pose a security risk.
Hermetech:Yes, I agree. Overly grey and browning drowning. Saying that, underneath lays a good big bodied track, well RMS’ed and dynamically quite good [the mids don’t hurt and the bass rolled fuller] Under the opaque wrapper lies an agreeable master! I bet..
HermetechMastering -19.5 -0.1the master i downloaded showed an error in the header… everything was there, but it gave a warning about the IFF size. here is the message.Code: [Select]The number of bytes described in the IFF size (46199192) is smaller than the size of the file. This means there are unused bytes in this file, which can pose a security risk.nice. i'm missing some of the warmth in the midrange of the original track. it does round out the brass nicely, but i feel it sacrifices some of the clarity. good dynamics. everything felt pretty good.
Thanks for the appraisal, Nick. That's very weird about the header. Can I ask which software was telling you that? Was it in the .zip unarchiving, or a DAW/editor? In 4 1/2 years of professional service, this is the first time anyone has ever mentioned anything like this, so obviously I am quite concerned! Maybe time I updated my 7Zip?
the file i downloaded from dropbox wasn't zipped... i think. actually, i don't remember if it was zipped or not. sample manager showed the error. every other daw i had just ignored the error and just assumed the end of file was the end of the recording. i would not think it's any zip problem, because they have an extra CRC check inside the zip. everything needs to be bit accurate or the zip won't unarchive. i've found sample manager to be the pickiest of all the programs. they're a real stickler for all the header info being correct. they can also correct many of the problems too. - nick
KAyo -17.3 -0nice and open sounding. at first listen, i though it was a little constricted in the louder sections, but i like how it tightened in the low mid's in those sections. i like how it snaps focus in on the soloist. very musical sounding.
As to my techniques.I've used R8brain to downsample to 44.1khz.From there I ran it through:Shadow Hills Mastering UAD plugin with some subtle compression on both optical and discrete channels, more to do with the coloring than compressionManley Massive Passive 2 notches on low band a 150Hz and 9 Notches at high band at 3k9kHzVoxengo Elephant 3 with -0.3 db Limit and 16bit ditheringIntentionally kept it at K-14(ish) range
Hi fuse,Was the "Manley Massive Passive" also a UAD plug?KAyo
ArtSta: in the system i listen to there is a lot of low freq info which tend to cover the rest ( this room is big and the playback system goes really low) it sounds interesting cause of the low but i don't have enough knowledge of this music to tell if it's too much or just a little too much, i miss also a little mid.the dynamic is nice, it's involving!
