Re: Audio Output Meter (bottom bar) VS. VU Big Meter (Top in The Rack)

Yes , the red LED lights to the far right are clip indicators. Which can mean your track may be going over the 0 dB by a few dB , but it won’t show you by how much your going over by . Selig gain Rack Extension will let you know . Hope this helps OK gotchu thank you for the info. The weird thing is...

Re: Audio Output Meter (bottom bar) VS. VU Big Meter (Top in The Rack)

The meter your probably looking at it the VU metering type which give you average volume. That meter will go into the red . The other metering type is peak . When you lowered the average meter your track will sound low . Plus 3 dB on the VU meter is not a bad thing necessarily. This can be confusin...

Re: Production Tips

Try and learn the info you need in the right order . For example, don’t skip to multiband compression or parallel compression if you don’t understand basic compression . The first thing you need to do is listen to a lot of music and get the feel of it . Do not get to caught up in plugins. Biggest mi...

Re: SSL style mixer, visual or modelled too?

Just to remind everyone the the SSL mixer in Reason was modelled on the SSL 9000k . Which was a clean mixer not coloured . I think some users believe its modelled after the E or G . Would be pretty nice to have a button per channel to toggle between K/E/G modelling. Yes , that would be sweet . With...

Re: Reason SSL vs Waves/ Others

For users who want "color", each user will have their own preferred color, and might not even want it on all channels.. Adding colour would be an option . Unlike in the past you had the character as part of the sound weather you wanted it or not . At least with this option you can turn it off and o...

@selig I was just thinking about something which was 'retro/vintage' but maybe a bit pants.

Indeed I read your post "pre coffee" yesterday morning and didn't mak...

Re: Is there a DAW that shows audio affected by compression in the sequencer?

Do you mean something like this ? keep watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awvv0rujo68 That's the closest. What I really wanted though was audio recorded in the sequencer then adjust the compressor and see how it adjusts the audio wave but in retrospect, I never thought about the audio already...

Re: Is there a DAW that shows audio affected by compression in the sequencer?

Both those two options make sense to us, the Fabfilter is 'live at this specific time' while Selig Curve method is the track and display (so history display). Good pointers you two ;) The video i posted , shows the result in the sequencer . Where the Fabfilter shows the result within the plugin . B...

This will mean the hardware version of an SSL is not a Pro mixing console . It too only has 4 bands and one filter slope .

Re: Help with vocal sound

i would try high filter first to get rid of the lows and some low mids . Then heavy on the compression , bringing out the breaths more . Then try a little high shelf . It`s kind of like a telephone effect to me . And last but not least some distortion or maybe saturation . Just a guess
