Okay, tell me how to get the processors and FX for that?bmanic wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 12:34 amMixing is an art in itself. It's almost entirely subjective with very little actual technical parts, in my opinion. As long as you keep the overall frequency response in a way that your vision translates to various sound systems, the rest is pure art._leras wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 8:09 pmEngineering and production are definitely important tools in modern production.soundmodel wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 6:22 pm Yes, to being with, I think electronic music production is half engineering and half art. Most musicians only explore it as consumers of engineering. Yet some combine them.
It could almost be argued that they're almost as important as composition, musicianship and instruments.
Certainly it can elevate a track from good to great, or great to amazing.
So yeah, I completely agree. If you have a really simple and sparse arrangement with not much going on harmonically or melody wise, then the way it sounds can be the majority of the appeal of a track.
In the context of the thread some people would consider a Culture Vulture a competitive advantage.
I also think that if we gave everyone only the ability to use a certain stock plugin set, then we would have much more uniform mixes and less "overleaping" mixes. Which exemplifies why the tools are a half of the trade. One can spend 40 years mixing, and one would still not be able to do the result of a processor that is technically impossible given the tools that one has.
A pro mixer can get good results with rudimentary gear, but the results will certainly not be the same as with good gear. Even they know it.
