About This Multitrack - Mike Senior - 20-09-2012 You can find the multitrack files for this project in the 'Mixing Secrets' Free Multitrack Download Library. Before posting a mix, please read The Three Commandments!
Please post your mix as a new thread, rather than as a reply to this sticky. Here's some more project info you might find useful:
If you have any other general questions about this multitrack, just reply to this post and I'll see what I can do. RE: About This Multitrack - DanUpdegraff - 09-04-2013 Hi Mike, I downloaded your Reaper project (and Reaper 4.32 too). When I opened the project, all the faders were set at 0 (except track 2 which is -2db). Is this correct? After replacing a lot of the missing plugins with my own, the levels are way off from the final MP3 you mixed. (Perhaps the fader settings don't load if a plugin is missing?) RE: About This Multitrack - takka360 - 09-04-2013 you need the plugins Mike used.You say you are replacing plugins with your own ? Some people also mix at 0 db and work the master fader RE: About This Multitrack - Mike Senior - 10-04-2013 (09-04-2013, 11:04 PM)DanUpdegraff Wrote: I downloaded your Reaper project (and Reaper 4.32 too). When I opened the project, all the faders were set at 0 (except track 2 which is -2db). Is this correct? That's pretty typical for me -- I set most of my balances with gain plug-ins, rather than with the faders, simply so that I can use the faders for automation in their region of highest resolution (around the unity gain mark). Quote:After replacing a lot of the missing plugins with my own, the levels are way off from the final MP3 you mixed. (Perhaps the fader settings don't load if a plugin is missing?) I don't think that's the case, but you have to make sure you've loaded in the GGain and GFader plug-ins correctly to get my balance. As for overall level, remember that I always bounce the mix out for separate mastering-style processing -- although in this case the mastering processing wasn't tremendously heavy. RE: About This Multitrack - Mike Senior - 10-04-2013 It's also occurred to me that you may need to load in the appropriate impulse responses if there are any SIR2 instances in there. If they're not in the download, then you should be able to get them from Echochamber here: http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-ch16.htm#links RE: About This Multitrack - DanUpdegraff - 10-04-2013 Okay, thanks Mike. I am missing about 40% of the plugins you used, especially both the reverbs. Having you confirm the faders are correctly set at 0 really helps. The difference in volumes has to be in the plugins I am using, plus I made guesses on gain reduction and makeup levels based on the screenshots. I can trust my ears now to finish off the mix. Very cool to see how much level you use on the parallel compression tracks. I was using way too little, and my mix was pretty weak as a result. |
