![]() Ya mp3 doesnt matter u guys are right there is a small loss in quality but basically its the limiter. ![]() The main reason though is 1) Rushed mixing. Then you listen to their actual album and its obvious that it has much higher sound quality? It kills you. Have you ever heard a mix tape, of your favorite artist and on your first time listening, you could tell it was a mix tape based on audio quality. But they were probably started off as wav files not mixing and matching quality and fidelity. I would recommend using wav files to start so that all of the data/sound is captured properly and with a good mix, the mp3 conversion process shouldn't kill you.ĭo we listen to mp3 albums? Yes. As though, even with a loss of fidelity, a bad mix on a wav file can sound like crap too. The issue with mp3 as a whole is that it is a loss format meaning that it loses or restricts data (sound and frequencies). I like the artist but the overall sound quality is terrible. ![]() There is a big artist out now (no names needed) who just dropped a mix tape. THanks.ĭepends on what you consider to be professional. So my question is, are there any other methods I can use to get these professional levels and yet still sound clean and have the vocals sit inside? Would compressing the beat that has a limiter on it automatically make it worse also if I am trying to compress the whole song before limiting to glue it? Or anything else u guys can come up with. But the beats come with RMS levels of -10 to -8 off the bat so I'm always stuck pushing to get something i cant attain. I would even try to put a limiter on the vocals before it goes to the master bus so it can be limited as much as the beat already is. ![]() When it comes time to master i know im basically mastering something that is already part mastered so I dont know what you would call it. I sometimes do parallel compression also and other methods in mixing. Wavesfactory Trackspacer and waves C6 sidechained on the beat to notch out room when the vocals hit. ![]() Usually rap these days is hitting around 8rms and i know every song is different depending on balance but I'm usually hitting max 11-9 on the RMS with it still sounding good and its definitely always a little lower compared to pro audio songs. Due to this I cant get the song to reach the RMS levels I want. I guess they want their beats to sound good for customers or what not even though the more condensed it is the lower the final mix comes out because the vocals have to be much louder to sit in the beat. The greatest problem is that it is pretty easy to tell that the beats are already smashed to hell with a limiter. So basically most of the songs i make myself or mix for others tend to use mp3 beats. ![]()
