    i’ve been doing this thing where (this miiiiggghhhttt be ableton specific idk) but i use an audio effect rack where i have 2 chains. i take one chain and filter out everything below like 170 and put a pro l on that chain with 5 ms of look ahead and then then i leave the other chain filtered above 170 with no limiter

    then to sum those two chains together i take a second pro l and glue the two chains together

    thankfully, I know how to work ableton and already know how I could set this up in logic

    Look up Kenyan Smokey

    That’s our side of the road food at any hour of the night from a random lemonade sized food stand on a drunken walk back to the crib or car. It’s heaven, especially when you add some spice. Observers who don’t know the country would look at you crazy for eating it lmaooo

    It’s all trial and error.

    When u mixing do it on the place folks most likely to listen to music (e.g. use s***ty earbuds)

    When u do it so long with your own voice that you’ve created a custom patch it makes signal flow so much faster and efficient

    It’s not about the gear but how you use it.

    You can have waves and real actual compressors and sound less “mixed” than someone who’s only hardware is a focusrite.

    I’ve gotten to a point now where I can evaluate how my rough mix is doing based off my laptop speakers. obv, ima go in and do things properly with headphones later on but still

    I got mild scoliosis so I hate sitting in chairs. 99% of what I do is done on the couch with nothing but a macbook pro, headphones, and a mini midi keyboard.

    Personally, I use logic as my DAW of choice. I like to use the default compressor, it’s like blue and grey.

    Threshold: -30 to -35
    Ratio (depending on artist): 2.8:1 to 3.6:1
    Makeup: don’t touch, or 5db
    Knee: make that b**** deep, turn it all the way to the right
    Attack: I like a short attack. Set it to 0
    Release: kinda just keep it in the 150 - 200 range

    Usually I’ll have just a compressor on my main vocal chain and then bus all my other s***

    Lot of local artists i find really hyperfixate on “sounding professional” meanwhile some of the biggest artists now recorded some of their best material without a pop filter.

    No such things as rules man. Dont be a gear w****.
