Everybody's Falling Apart - Olli H

[pauli]

I have the same weird monitoring issues... I wear earplugs when I'm doing detail work between 20 Hz and 125 and put a temporary low pass filter cornered at 1000. The ear plugs help to hear if it's lumpy and a spectral analyzer on each instrument in question and the master bus helps figure out where it's happening... so you can tweak until you can't hear the lumps anymore... although in about 3/4 of case I find some degree of compression is needed in the bass frequencies if not recorded in a treated room, and that makes for quicker, cleaner easier work. I lay my pinky on the subwoofer cone to see if it's pulsing too quickly, too, because that can be a sign I've got too much going on.
