Re: Any thoughts on stem mastering vs standard mastering?

The way I see it is, you need stem mastering when you need mastered stems. The only application where you require mastered stems, as far as I know (after seeing a very elaborate explanation by Junkie XL), is for big movie productions where the music gets mixed on the sound stage together with dialo...

Re: Any thoughts on stem mastering vs standard mastering?

The only gripe I have with the idea of stem mastering is that… it’s essentially impossible — unless you limit each group bus before the 2 mix and then apply a final limiter at the end. In other words, you have to do something pretty destructive to cause a shift in mentality and workflow to not call...

Re: Any thoughts on stem mastering vs standard mastering?

Thank for the input guys.. I had read recently, which apparently was in regards to electronic music, that if you break your track up into the main elements, as Davey_G mentioned then you master each of the elements then simply mix them after each element was mastered and limited I guess and then the...

Any thoughts on stem mastering vs standard mastering?

I have yet to try stem mastering but was curious if anyone had any pros/cons opinions on stem mastering. It seems, at least from my research, that it seems more appropriate for electronic music... Anyhow any opinions would be great...

Re: The Ubisoft NFTs Have COMPLETELY FAILED

This has no effect on my belief that actual NFTs are a con and a money-laundering scam. Hey, here is the news. Money isn't real. It only works because enough people believe it works. Same with NFTs.

Re: Your reason. Your Sound?

I start from scratch as well but didn't use to. I used to have a fairly loaded template but found it actually distracted me during the writing process. I use alot of presets mainly because I'll get my workflow sidetracked if I start messing with something. I try to just stick to writing and arrangin...

Re: RS Bassline Generator Sneak Peak

Personally I think basslines are the easiest part of writing.. unless your doing some really busy melodies but even then it's not that hard... Are we at a point where we just push one button and a song is produced? If you don't have the money to spend on a bassline generator, just send your basslin...

Thoughts on Arcade by Output?

I have a ton of samples and don't mind adjusting pitch or stretching in Reason but any Arcade users out there that have any thoughts on it good or bad? Is it a work-flow thing? Or what about the monthly samples provided in subscription?

Thanks!

Re: SM58 vs SM58S (best with an on/off switch or not?)

What are you trying to loop, vocals or guitar? I actually used two vocal mics years ago, one clean and one used pedals on, one of which was a boss looper... I did live vocal tweaks in shows and you have to have either a mute medal or switch to make sure you don't get unnecessary or unwanted feed bac...

I love both of these REs, but I've always been annoyed by how loud they are when the transport is stopped. So I built these auto-silencing Combis to solve the problem.
