    We narrowed down everyone and chose Catherine to mix our music a few years back and unfortunately didn't fit the schedule as she was backlogged.
    I think it was a mistake not to wait and go with her. She's brilliant.

    I was so excited when I saw the description for this one. I admit I wasn't familiar with Catherine Marks. But the list of the bands she's produced and mixed speaks for itself. I'm used to mixing masterclasses featuring songs I don't care for. I still enjoy those videos, but they have limited applicability for me. I'm not trying to mix other people's music. I'm trying to mix my own indie rock productions. So to get a class with the kind of music I might actually write and record is amazing.
    I was even more excited when you said the song was going to be Manchester Orchestra. Love them. And after watching the video, I can say she more than did their song justice.

    SonicScoop what a GREAT video.... I have 1 question for Catherine.... I'd like to know what bit rate are you using... I can't see it in the video... Is it 44.1k 24bit or 48k 24 bit..??? Great mixing techniques she did...I am taking NOTES.... SALUTE From your boy Poorhouzzzzzz

    • @ryancrawford9894
      @ryancrawford9894 2 года назад

      We usually refer to those numbers as sample rate (samples/second) and bit depth (bits per sample), bit rate is more common in streaming applications. I don’t know many engineers that record at 44.1kHz. It isn’t all that useful unless your only release medium is CD. Stick with 48k and its multiples, you’ll be less likely to need a conversion step.

    Would love to know Catherine's gain-staging process. All those drum tracks look like they are maxed out at 0. Normalized to zero. I mean, to get a loud master you need a loud mix, but there is some sorcery going on here! Never really saw where the faders are set or the mix bus fader.

    • @DonnDeVoreMusic
      @DonnDeVoreMusic 2 года назад +1

      I was hoping to see the mix view at some point to see fader levels and panning. It looks like the waveform size have been increased visually to show more detail, but that does not affect on the audio level of the individual tracks.
