''Why do your recordings sound like ass''

http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=29283

I found this and I think it's useful and good reading! (It's longer than the first post)

Thanks for this one!

whenever my recordings sounds like ass, i just remove the mic and try another and hopefully more suited soundsource.. usually to the relief of the previous!

What forum is that from? I want to check the link, but somethin' makes me think I should wait until I'm not at work...

^ reaper forums. it's legit

Ohhhhh ok...for a second there, I thought it said "cockos.com"


Wait...it does. Was reaper-forum.com taken?

In a nutshell:

1. Have ears, and learn how to use them
2. Have monitors and possibly a sub, and learn how to use them
3. Treat your room acoustically
4. Learn how to reference material on your home setup

5. From here on it's really an interesting read to do with gain-staging, digital clipping and average playback volumes. Definitely read this bit.

6. Don't mix too loud

Ok, so I just realised it's 55 pages long haha. I will not provide any more highlights but it's a really detailed post and it's well written, so thanks to n4l for posting this bad boy.

Perhaps we could start out own thread similar to that and sticky it?

"there are no rools yo just do you"

or my personal favorite misquote in these forums:

"i'm a no holes barred kind of guy, so..."

........? that is NOT the expression.

i googled it site:mpc-forums.com and nothing turned up, so it must have been off topic. will try to track it down for you. definitely one of the funniest things i've seen here.

You are the man...just viewing the link's "...1030530&hilit=+no+holes+barred+#p1030530" cracked my shit up.

Why bother? Because I'm too lazy to read 55 pages of stuff, and I thought it would be a useful addition to the forum Buzz Killington.
