    I use reference tracks. Load an instance of Metric A/B, and 4 to 5 songs in it. I'm lucky I got lots of cool beats from TPC producers, and I listen to them comparing with my beat. Use it less these days, but always nice with a sanity check, and level check too.

    • @subphotic
      @subphotic 25 дней назад

      Hey, that’s a fair thoght process. You’re right, I’m no big shot. No prizes (that I know of at least) and no smashing singles or albums when it comes to sales numbers. However, i’ve made the music I like regardless of sales and gatekeepers - for 30 years (alongside life) And for the past 5-6 years I’ve done more producing and mixing/mastering for my friends, and then for strangers as my skills improved. Again, no radio hits, but straight up passion driven music making. So if you want to make popular, on-demand music with hit potential, I’m not your guy. If you make music in your spare time just because you have to, you’re passionate about it and you want to release it, I might be your guy. Look up subphotic on streaming platforms to check out the songs where the artists where so nice that they credited me. I make beats, do cuts & scratches and mix and master. Thanks again for chiming in and being upfront and honest. All the best🙌

    • @subphotic
      @subphotic Месяц назад

      Hey, cheers for watching and commenting😀 So in this case I used automation and alternatively clip gain. Another way to go is using a clipper plugin, such as this one ruclips.net/video/yDPxYODM1Ps/видео.htmlsi=zgSUSHz4ec0jX4dr where you can reign in the dynamics without loosing punch, but at the cost of «clean» depending on how far you push it. However, of course it’s better to get a good balance in the mix, but here I didn’t have that opportunity. Thanks again for chiming in, all the best🙌😀

    Switched from RME. RME are boring and dull. Solid units but Totalmix and the attitudes on the forum was crap. Im so happy since switching, reliable with a cool design. It might have had issues over the years but it works well. Its more limited than the RME but for I need its great. I think some bought one had a few bad experienced but I have tried many other interfaces. The Twin is just solid now. I will add I use a DAC though. Its internal DAC is really good, but to step it up for mastering I do use a better DAC, but I could cope using the inbuilt one. I have the Twin X. The unison setup is fantastic, I have recored vocals that just need very little treatment.
