Free-Loops.com | Free Drum Loops Wav MP3 Aif and Midi Sound Loops The SOS Guide To Mix Compression Technique : Effects / Processing Compressing the stereo bus can give your music coherence, smoothness and, above all, punch — but there are plenty of pitfalls for the unwary. We lead you through the minefield that is mix compression. Will Haas Mix-bus compression can be a confusing topic for inexperienced mixers and engineers. To set the record straight, there is a huge sonic difference between mixing into a stereo compressor from the outset versus slapping a stereo compressor on the mix bus just before you print a mix. The point is that the same set of fader settings will actually produce a different mix balance depending on whether you apply compression, and how much. Used appropriately, mix-bus compression can be another tool for adjusting the overall balance of your mix, giving you 'glue' to help meld sounds together and make the overall mix balance sound more cohesive. Which Compressor? The most common questions regarding mix-bus compression seem to be: are there sonic benefits?

Synthesizer and electronic music news, synth and music software reviews and more! Facebook Pixel Everything you need to know Big Bad Bass - A Tutorial on Low Frequencies Sub-bass occupies the frequency range from 20 - 100 Hz. It is not so much heard, but felt. Sub-bass is responsible for creating a low-end presence that gives a bassline its power. Special attention should be paid to this layer as low frequencies take up a lot of headroom in a song. Getting the sub-bass just right is an art. Too much and it will sound muddy and eat up valuable headroom, too little and it will sound thin and tinny. Tip: To accurately gauge sub-bass, your studio monitor set-up should have a sub-woofer. Step 1: Create your sub-bass sound The source of your bass can be a synth patch or a sample. Synthesize: Many synthesizers (software and outboard) come with dedicated sub-bass patches, however, it's easy to create your own. Sample: Alternatively you can use a sub-bass audio sample, loaded into a sampler. Step 2: EQ / lowpass Step 3: Limit Bass should be as loud as possible and have very little dynamic range.
Online Drum Machine Drumbot is the next best thing to a real drummer. Full song loops and tons of grooves. Designed specifically for non-drummers for use as backing tracks during song composition. We've partnered with real drummers, (can you think of a better beat maker?) Each of the hand-crafted "songs" consists of a collection of loops (loop set) that all run at the same BPM and are all inter-related. Most loop sets have multiple intro's, verses, chorus', fills, crashes and outros. You can organize these basic building blocks into a unique arrangement that suits your needs. Each of the loop previews (on the left-hand side of drumbot) are about 5-10 seconds -- just long enough to give you a feel for the groove. When you find a groove you like, double-click on it, or click the "Test Drive" button to load the "loop set" into drumbot. Then you can quickly arrange the loops by dragging and dropping a colored block onto the timeline. Keyboard Shortcuts
Event Opal - Studio Monitor (Tech) We all know how important high-quality monitoring is in the studio; there is simply no point in having all of the synths, effects processors and fancy plug-ins in the world if you can't do them and your mixes justice. We know too that monitors are available in all shapes and sizes and that decent quality monitoring is now available at a fraction of the price it was even a few years ago. However, the old adage of "you get what you pay for" is as true now as it was then. The design mission with the Opals was ambitious: to build the highest quality active monitoring system possible using a two-way system, which nevertheless matched performance levels of three-way systems. So, what performance can be expected from this involved design? The tweeter uses a neodymium magnet and a beryllium copper dome and offers a really pleasing sound which isn't unnecessarily fizzy or clattery and, most importantly, doesn't produce a sound which wears the ear out prematurely.
