11/9/2022 0 Comments Crash cymbal eq![]() Things like stereo width enhancers and even quite a few of those multiband limiters can do a lot more harm then good in this sort of thing. recorded too hot, bad mic placement and so on then they can sometimes (often?) be fixed with a really good deesser first in line before any other processing. If the damage was done on the raw tracks themselves. Doesn't matter if they're analog hardware or digital dynamics processing, same rules apply. if its too fast they'll crumble and distort. For example use slower release times on bass & program material. Clipping converters and/or gain staging between plugins is another source of ugly bits.Ĭompression & limiting with super fast attack and/or release times can bring out all kinds of wonky stuff and be another cause of distortion. can start with microphones that are too bright/hot for the source - given vocalist or what have you. Its hard to pinpoint exactly where it all comes from since its typically not one sole thing. the sibilance on vocals would be pretty upfront and noticeable. Like, you can't hear or don't know what you've really got on the raw tracks otherwise the distortion. excessive treble & spitty distortion on cymbals & vocals is unfortantly, most commonly the ultimate culmination of many rookie "pilot error" bits of bad engineering and/or poor monitoring environment finally showing up. Has anyone experienced this and solved it in the DAW? I really don't want to re-record.Īside from obvious things like blown speakers in the car and crunky connections, making sure its nothing torn up that sort of distortion. Just bite the bullet and hope that the average ear won't notice too much? Is there any ay I can maybe EQ this out? I'm using logic x and I've tried cutting frequencies, de-essers, and lowering the volume. Especially if the speaker system in their car is good. so most people will hear it in their car. What should I do? We're supposed to put our ep up in local radio, iTunes, Spotify, etc. So that might mean the mic just broke by the end. Out of the bad 2, one is worse than the other and we recorded that song last. Here's what's weird, it's only in 2 of the songs and the last song. It does, however, gets "lighter" when I turn box down, but then it sounds like I just have a bad mix. ![]() But I can also hear it in all the speakers if I crank them (before the speakers itself starts distorting everything). Only hear it in the car stereo at normal levels. I guess the mastering really brings that out. In the recording session, if I turn the volume up all the way, I can hear a little rustling. So I listened to each individual vox track and isolated where the hum is actually coming from. ![]() I did and I still hear it distort in the mastering product. Vox was going to drums send, drums going to vox send. Has anyone experienced this before? How did you resolve it? Or if you haven't had this experience, but have some suggestions, please share. I like to note that when I listened to the radio, CD, or spotify, none of the crash cymbals from those tracks distort. Haven't tried with it off yet, but I'm afraid that it does take away something from the tracks when I listened to it without on the studio monitors. What am I doing wrong that the cymbals only distort in the car? I've adjusted the stereo spread on the tracks. Went over the mastering side and eq'd the high end and adjusted the high band on the multipressor. I went back to the mixing phase and lowered the volume and decreased the compressor. However, when I get in the car and listened to the tracks there, you can hear the each crash cymbal hit distort. I listened to the mastered tracks through the studio monitors, computer speakers, 3 different types of headphones, and our PA system. I listened mixed and mastered our tracks using studio monitors. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why there is such a difference in speakers. I'm recorded our band and mixed and mastered all the tracks myself. ![]()
