Interpolation challenge - Bob Marley’s Jammin’

Alright just sent my submission to lamp. Was getting to the point I was questioning my tweaking and second guessing myself, so before I destroy the sound I’ll just leave it. Hope y’all enjoy and give some good feedback, I’ll try to do the same for y’all...

Awesome man.

Feedback is an important part of a challenge - it adds to the learning.

Looking forward to hearing everyone’s work tomorrow.

That VST CLUB is trash, straight BOOTLEG, report them. Only buy direct from the Website.

Danoc and CR (and anyone else with input) - I’ve never used FabFilter. Their stuff any good? Not looking to buy anything. Just curious.

Yeaj bro Fabfilter is indusrty standard especially the EQ 2/3. Its a must l only use that on my kick and bass to make them co-exist in the same stereo field. I use it to help my bass duck my kick. Dope! The EQ also can place your sound in tune with whatever the key is. That is sick? Every major stoo has. The Limiter does LUFS and -12 also you'd like with it dont ned to buy Waves stuff.

Fabfilter is nice because they give parameters but the layout is simple and direct. More dial it in and go, no need to start writing JAVA to use it. The PRO MB AND PRO R are nice.

Don’t really use plugins but from the few years I’ve been on music forums, people swear by them from what I have seen. So much so if I was gonna go head first into just ITB, I would be looking at them first.

Danoc Have you tried uploading them to different platforms. I’m using stock presets on ozone elements and they seem to stay true on both at -14, I will say that my rendered track sounds different from the rendered mo3 when I make a video with my phone. Not much, but I noticed it last night. Like subtly fuller bass more openness. I could be tricking myself, but it seemed noticeable between my video and windows media player.

Im strictly ITB so its very essential to me

When you asked if l tried it on different platforms what do you mean? Like Mac or PC? Reason or Studio One?

naw upload to both youtube and soundcloud and see if what you're saying is true or a mirage.... If you want I can do the same and you can see the results on your track and mine. our tracks are going to mixed completely different and might expose what your talking about.

Nah l have done that. When l upload to SC it sounds metalish. Bot when l upload to Youtube is fine, nice and clear.

I know E told to use LUFS, - 12, l tried and maybe on my end. Places like Spotify use different LUFS levels.

Bro all I can offer is an upload on each from my track. Might help you spot the difference.

Music streaming platforms are compressing the music, because there are so many different genres. So if you're pushing the music to get it "LOUD" then the algorithm will compress it. This is also done, to protect the listeners hearing. Since some people who master music, only care about how loud it is, and not damage it's causing to listener.

They need to come up with one standard but right now every platform is different so pay attention to the.

Peak: -dBTP
Loudness: LUFS
Dynamic Range: DR

Don't worry l'll get it. I've done MY tracks, you mix totally different from me, it wouldn't help if l use your track to identify my problem with my track. You get what lm saying?

Yep what CR said.

True Peaks, lufs etc need to be right. Gain staging and bussing to get a glued and balanced mix is so important.

I hope they come up with just one standard also.

Sound cloud is lowering bitrate, my guess is 128 kbps or 64 kbps to ease bandwidth cost on free accounts.

I don’t know man. If there was a difference you could prolly hear it on any track.

Just trying to help. Interesting info tho y’all posted. I’m just going by presets for steaming and learning about this. I need better eq at the channel level but I think I can replicate ozone with an Alesis 3630 And an analog heat. This mix/ master stuff gets my mind warped some tho. Like endless questioning and subtle changes.
What do y’all mix your ceiling to? I’m trying to wrap my head around headroom.
