Top down mixing

32 bit allows you to ignore gain staging

I usually play them at 1.5 so everyone looks like they are on 10 espressos by 9am.

I used to be a graphic designer and was building a 32 page monthly community magazine for a client. One month terror struck. As they walked into the office to approve the final layouts and I had the last two changes to make - my hard drive died. The deadline for going to print was two days away. Luckily I had most of the graphics backed up but the layout and a lot of the graphics were gone and all I had left was the laser printed proofs. 37 hours no sleep and minimal food but I got it finished and to the printer. If you’re making a New Year’s Resolution let it be “I will have a real time backup plan in place in the next two weeks. Best I’ve found is having Dropbox and having all my project files in the Dropbox folder. That’s where I did the work from. Plus I had a backup drive on my computer using TimeMachine (Mac) plus a NAS raid to backup to weekly.

I use Reaper for recording a friends projects but Logic Pro is where I do all the mixing mastering

@T Martin I’ve spent a lot of time watching his channel too

@Mailin Herbst thanks for the comments. He’s actually come a long way in his singing, but I don’t think this isn’t one of his best performances but I do think it’s a strong song lyrically.

@Mailin Herbst no worries - I was not offended at all. He has worked with a few teachers, but he’s also the type who has to figure it out himself and isn’t willing to spend time in study even though he would progress faster that way. We are both ADHD - although he is the hyperactive style and I'm more the ‘stuck in concerted effort’ type. That said, I like his lyrics a lot and we’ve had some good response to other tunes.
