Original Message Date: 07-Oct-05 @ 10:11 AM - the long route..................
Before I had the 410 control levels up at full cos I was trying to get the best signal to noise ratio but when I burnt stuff to CD to listen on my stereo my stuff sounded too chunky, no dynamics and not spacey enough when compared to my favourite producers. Now its like another world!!!!!!
Im a proper fool. My friend told me that the guy who now runs Juno did something similar he gave up trying to produce cos he couldnt understand why his tunes never sounded pro enough. After 4 years of trying a bloke walked into his studio and told him his speakers were out of phase.
My question is can I find something in Logic that will give me a test tone so I can (exactly) match 0db on my instrument track to 0db on my Mackie? I would have though the Osc plug would but maybe it needs an input signal to work.

computer music magazine did the same thing in their sound like Royksopp article last month. So it must be right
thats where we get our tips from, innit! the whole "dont read FM/CM" smear campaign was just a trick to leave all the good stuff to us pros!
anyway, Greg... a) you *could* leave your kick be louder than the rest too, no? i have plenty of 4/4 tracks where kicks actually is louder (peakwise too) then the rest, or b) compress it some more to slam the peaks down.
and also... why dont you lot NEVER post any examples of your tracks so we know what your actual problems are???

i have posted one track before but that was a while back and done on another system so not really representative
im looking for some beats i could paste up now...
i think in terms of the kick im just gonna play safe and get the tune as a whole sounding good- if the kick doesn't thump ill have to live with it...
