Hi everyone, As part of following up this recent fix the mix, we have a learning opportunity that's been arranged with David Brancato (this FTM's winner) to look at his drum processing and process. Meeting details below. Join us if you are able, it'd be great to see some members on the call! We expect to be less than an hour. Contact me with any questions or concerns, I may or may not have the answer. I'll do my best! Also I'm not a zoom expert so I'm unlikely to troubleshoot your zoom issues as FYI, not that there will be any!

I got to play this round. I did not have a lot of time today, but I squeezed it in. I had maybe about a four-hour window at the end of the day. Enjoy. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18p9Rq_51naY1q0DS5wNWK2cZRtR4ihKs/view?usp=sharing I'm updating the post because I've been asked more than once which drum sample library I used in this mix. The drums in my mix are the same tracks from the folder. I didn't replace the kit or layer in additional samples. There were no overheads in the folder, and no drum room mics, so I created a space for the drums artificially with some reverb. I'm happy to share techniques if you want to know!

I know that Mastering.com recommends ARC for room correction for monitors, but what is recommended for calibrating / correcting headphones?? Do y'all still use SonarWorks for that, because ARC doesn't contain headphone calibration. Mastering.com leaders, please advise. Btw, I'm using a pair of Audeze MM500 headphones and I had heard that calibration of headphones takes it to the next level.

Hey guys! Need some help here! I tried calibrating my monitors with REW software, but it does not recognize my audio interface (Audiobox VSL 1818). So I was wondering if anyone here tried another method in Logic Pro for calibrating studio monitors. I have a pair of KRK Classic 5, and they naturally have to much low frequencies. Even with them on FLAT mode. 🔊
