Please ignore my last post -- that's bad advice, now having bounced to disc a few times, C4 doesnt seem so great. My best luck with bass so far (recorded direct input) has been an equalizer (detailed below), then PSP Vintage Warmer (Bass track preset with ~+4 drive), then Amp Farm (fender bassman, l...

I spoke too soon! C4 and better eq seems to be working. I have it placed after eq, autotuner, and amp farm. It seems the sub 115 hz band needs heavy compressing with quick attack, the 115 hz to 900 hz needs little compression and can have slower attack, the 900 hz to 2600 hz needs to control the lar...

I am really struggling with bass also -- just a huge boom at 95 hz and little else. How about compression? I've tried Rcomp and PSP vintage warmer on bass with little help (even tried amp farm on one buss with a direct out on another buss to simulate mixing amped and DI but with limited success). So...

We have plenty of time. Glad you could make use of vocal B. The piano was an overdub because of a loud page turn on the original and to correct that preamp -10 vs +4 issue (didn't seem to matter much though), hence, a couple spots of irregular rhythm in the piano track (but not worth trying to adjus...

Yes! That makes sense with the piano. I'm glad you say that about keyboards -- I do have GS3 and a studiologic keyboard but was starting to abandon it, assuming that the Steinway must be better. Sure wish this was a sequenced part now. I think Lead Vocal A (this was recorded simulataneously with BG ...

Here are the links. Key of D-Flat changes to D major in the 3rd chorus.They are 24/44 (recorded at 24/88). Thanks Again!!!! I know this recording isn't worthy, but there are lots of people looking forward to the result, and hopefully I will learn a little something along the way. Piano KM184 XY.wav ...

Yeah!!!! I'll get it there tonight!!!

Yeah!!! I would love to. Tonight I'll post the individual tracks (three vocals and piano). I really do have some better stuff, but this one I'm dying on. I asume you just want short bits and not the whole song which would be ~40 mb per track and I assume you want things unedited (no or minimal compr...

PLEASE DONT LISTEN TO THE ABOVE LINK!!! -- if you already have, you are probably still nauseated. Please use this one instead (I had done something really strange with piano)-- believe it or not, there are thousands of older parishoners that eat this type of music up -- I just want it to do somethin...

You music professionals are saints for listening to this. Three church singers with a steinway mixed by a physician (me) and written by a very beloved, but non-musical minister after his heart attack. But still, why can't I get this to play on the minister's office stereo? This is ~ 1minute at 16/44...

You are all very, very kind. Music isn't my day job so when I get home tonight I will try to muster the courage to send this. I'm timid because I am more comfortable with the typical drum kit, electric, bass, etc -- what is really killing me is just a steinway and three (church) singers and though t...

I hope this is appropriate to post here. I love har-bal, Earle, and Paavo. I still don't like my own mixes especially on cheap stereos. Have nice equipment, and have read everything on the web, and am still learning how best to use har-bal. I would pay handsomely for someone with a little knowledge/...

#2 Ok. I just read that sample rate is determined by the sound card but only that above 96 khz the ability to make very narrow eq changes suffers. This is great news. Three questions to go. #1 to clarify, would you focus more with individual tracks on shaping tone to somewhat resemble ref files or o...

1. I've read the posts about this, but just to clarify, for individual tracks in the mix, is it smart to use har-bal to hammer some of the biggest peaks and / or to try to match a reference file for that particular instrument in a general sense with broad srokes. I assume I don't want the spectrum t...

Great advice. Am finally trying it and it seems to be working.

Thanks!
