Re: Loudness Balancing
Hello Let me describe the best technique for handling the issue whereas one track is dense and the other may be super light. Place a 26-30 second fade out on the dense track. Make it long enough so that by the time the light track starts to play the listener no longer remembers how loud the dense tr...

Re: mixing to master?
Hello Nigel One of the biggest problems most folks have when attempting to master a track is getting it to sound great everywhere. Here is a solution: Use your regular mastering chain: 1. Har-Bal - for rogue resonances 2. EQ sparingly 3. Mid Side Compressor -Use sparingly - Great for controlling the...

Can you send me your tel# via email on my contact page and if possible I would like to actually speak with you concerning multiband compression this weekend. It would be much easier if I explained it as opposed to writing a book
Cheers

Play Ogg - unrestricted open file format
I just happened to be looking up some open source software for someone and happened on the Play Ogg initiative ( http://www.fsf.org/resources/formats/playogg ). My curiosity got the better of me so I did a little more digging on the Ogg Vorbis (open, free and unencumbered equivalent of mp3) format a...

Running Har-Bal on Vista and Windows 7
If DEP (Data Execution Prevention) is enabled for all programs Har-Bal does not run on Vista. This is due to Armadillo / Software Passport (the software used to control licensing of Har-Bal) and not Har-Bal itself. To resolve this problem, log in as administrator and manually configure DEP to allow ...

Re: Setting the Lead Vocal with Harbal
For me getting the lead vocal at the right volume for every song has been very perplexing. After much experimentation what I do now is do a mixdown of all rythm tracks, bass and drums in mono.

If it moves at +15, what is the RMS level of your track going in? Is this the same Darren I am also emailing with?

Hi , It is possible to use Har-Bal as a guide in setting up any MBC ... By estimating the distance between the peak , and average curve ( at 1, or 1/3 octave resolution ) , you can tell if some regions of the spectrum have varying compression applied .
