are you basically looking at the track through a spectrum analyzer as it plays and lowering peaking frequencies accordingly?

Not really. I mean I definitely use reference tracks to get a general idea but I definitely use my monitors/ears to make sure it's nice and balanced.

Soleviio wrote:

If it's a global EQ, how do you get that to not affect other parts of the song where that frequency might not be peaking

It's not an EQ. I'm talking about multiband compressor. Forgot to clarify that in my last post, my bad! So once again, I just use my ears and get a light squash on the bands that need it.

And wat.jpg on "Mid-Side EQ", please explain this magic.

Mid-Side EQ is a strategy to separate the panorama spectrum into "middle" and "sides" and to EQ them differently. I like to high-pass the sides a bit and raise some air/shimmer slightly and for the middle I just hone in on the kick and cut out all below 30-50hz.

Listen to soft melodic music! That being said, a simple sine wave and some reverb can go a long way.

Is the variability of LSDJ's tempo too great to possibly record each track by itself in Live mode mix them in another DAW? Or would that be cheating?

I wouldn't trust it, personally. You can actually sync it with MIDI Clock/ARDUINO or whatever too, but I just Warp the tracks to the click in Ableton Live.

Re: is it worth spending time on a song? (121 replies, posted in General Discussion)

Personally, I think it's worth it. I definitely do not like pumping out material quickly myself. I like to believe that at least with my own music there's a strong reasoning behind every single note and sound-if it takes a long time to develop that than I'll wait and keep working towards that feeling. However, this leads to a long time of not putting out material. It's a double edged sword. However, I would much rather put out material that I am 100% behind in every way versus having something out that I would always second guess when I listen to it again. But that's just my neuroticism talking. I've done the RPM Challenge before and I'd really like to try something like the Weekly Beats thing, but something about that just terrifies me at the moment. I need to muster up the courage to just do it one day.

Worry about writing the music first!

Re: Mastering/mixing in LSDJ? (23 replies, posted in Audio Production)

I mix all within LSDJ and really only just record the stereo out. If I were to add in other instrumentation other than the gameboy, I'd consider multi-tracking and even separating the clips by instrument (but with the way my tracks have tons of instruments...fuuuuck that for now).

Mastering I really don't do too much other than evening out some peaks with a multiband compressor. I have however been really into using Mid-Side EQ to get your bass all very mono and tight as hell. Definitely an improvement over my previous recordings.

also - This is just me but when I DID multitrack once, I had to delete all the data from the other channels that weren't being recorded. Even on mute, the DMG still processed the data and made some hiccups on my DMG. Recording one lone channel at a time made a far smoother multitracking process, at least for me.
