Yup. that goes against what I've learned about proper gain staging. But then again- if it sounds the way you want it, I guess it works.V'ger wrote:Came across this interesting tip by French song-writer/producer Sandy Vee about using limiter on drums:
"I had a limiter on all the individual drum tracks - all the kicks which I layer went to a bus with the plug-in across it; the snares and bass had the Limiter plug-in on them; and then finally the master bus had the Limiter on it too! I know it sounds over the top, and other mix engineers may frown at it, but that plug-in played a big part in shaping my 'sound' - which I think is quite a big sound!"
The article also tells how big hits nowadays are done ITB etc, certainly the new generation of producers are throwing out the rule book.
I've used a limiter when layering sounds for resampling but not on an individual bus for mixdown. As jasinski said, I'm so used to the old ethic. I have to admit, I'm also put off by "loudness wars" tracks to the point I can't even listen to anything on Beatport.jasinski wrote:Yup. that goes against what I've learned about proper gain staging.

Dune sounds great even as dry as a bone...Which host are you using?festeringheap wrote:I hope someone can help me out here.
I downloaded Dune BE from Beat, and tried to install. I can see Dune BE in the component folder, and I have a path to that folder, but when I try to add it in my project, Dune is nowhere to be seen!.
I'm a bit baffled here. Could someone help me figure this out, or even help me in uninstalling and trying again?
(which I don't exactly know how to do as I just got a mac recently and am still trying to find my way around the OS...):(
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am using Reaper. (It's not recognized in GB either).jasinski wrote:Which host are you using?
Just to make sure, you put your "Dune BE.component" here: [computername]/[drivename]/library/audio/plug-ins/components
Thanks, gave me the opportunity to finally install Audacity. Unfortunately, it's not recognizing Dune either - and it doesn't seem to work in real time.V'ger wrote:I don't know Mac, but Audacity is a free host for both Mac and PC I believe, so might be worth to check if it works there?
I can already tell from the early entries this is going to be one of my favorite competitions, this synth really sounds great.
Ahh...I do have Ableton lite somewhere...maybe Reaper and Dune have issues...jasinski wrote:I don't have Reaper. I use Ableton Live. Maybe it's an issue with the compatibility of the host?
I've got 8.6 mb for the component file size.
