I've never seen a rough horse with two buttons on the top. Where do you do your thinking?

In the den, listening to the various recordings of Jerry Vale.

Sleeping is good, waking up each day is better. Considering the state of the world, I just console myself that I am still dreaming and maybe I will soon have a good dream, and in that dream I will be watching the ROXY DVD. 8)

Cleon, until I hear you play I will consider you a no talent loudmouth.

8 easy steps for mixing.
1. Start with a great sounding recording. Mixing and recording are not the same thing.
2. Know which instruments/vocals are on each track.
3. Set volume of each track. (Keep levels in check. Preserve dynamics and frequency response)
4. Pan tracks. (Create a good stereo soundstage. If you can record not only a sound but the direction in space it comes from, and you do it for every sound wave making up the soundstage, including all the reflected sound waves, then you will be able to reproduce a facsimile of the original soundstage)
5. Avoid over compression.
6. Avoid artificial processing whenever possible. More signal, less EQ. Vocal processing will be necessary so get it as right as possible from the start.
7. Avoid having too many instruments occupying the same frequency range. (Filter bass frequencies)
8. Don't clutter shit up. Simplify! Use saturation effects only as needed. Try to finish mix with master fader at 0 db.

Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with bacon, toast and orange juice.

There it is, this whole issue in a nutshell. If there are no great sounding recordings left, then what? As I keep saying, we're talking about archive recordings.

Rule #1: Never copy&paste without providing the source. Trying to sell some uncredited copied information as your own knowledge is disgusting.

Rule #2 Don't ignore what people quote at you and answer for others its rude and trollish.I have guitar recording equipment HD camera and you think I would use it too show of how old are you 5.Your also make yourself look like a dickhead saying people can't do things online and your master mixer you do some proofing.

Exactly. It's like I was telling my wife the other day - I'm too old for this shit, that's what I'm talking about and we're gonna need a bigger boat.


I'm not sure what question can really be asked of the Vaultmeister. He can't talk about future releases so I guess that limits it to what's been released already.
