I get why his mix is still clipping if individual channels are clipping but why would it be super loud if he bounced it down to -6? Sorry if I'm being thick.

Hello everyone,

I want to add multiband distortion to my drum bus in FL studio but when I do so, I lose the EQ modifications I made on individual instruments. Say I get rid of a nasty low hum on my hihat, when I send it to the drum bus with ohmicide on it it comes right back and gets distorted as ...

Makes sense, thank you

Why does a sound sometimes appear much quieter than another sound peaking at the same db or even lower? Best example is, when setting up drum bus compression (something I still struggle with, but I'm so fed up with it I won't bother to start yet another thread), why does a heavily squashed signal ...

I only use it to force mono.

+ coffee, ciggies and the occasional banana

I would say glitch-something.

Thank you for being honest. It's weird that it sounds so quiet, I mixed it down properly, did a self master and tried to bring it to max volume leaving a little headroom...maybe the background hiss and reverb drains too much energy ? Too much saturation on everything ?
I don't know, I liked that ...

Tribute to Hotline Miami and its amazing soudtrack...I had a lot of trouble getting the wet and dry elements to sit well together, I hope it's not too obvious.

It's a combination of Mono and Wanda from Shadow of the Colossus, I ditched the "da". Yes it's nerdy but I was "young".

Why would you want to have favourite settings, every track is different.
Because not everyone is a little bum fluff like you.

Input lowpass: 200hz
Input highpass: 200hz
Predelay: 69
Size: 13"
Diffusion: Particle
Decay: infinity
High damping: 4:20
wet/dry: 100% moist

Can't believe I laughed out ...

-Getting my instruments (drums especially) to sound like they belong together.
- Creating sounds that are agressive/menacing without being annoying (think Jam City)
- Trusting my ears (obsessed by numbers and "rules")

Reverb is a tricky beast, it can also make a mix sound huge and spacious, or it could make it muddier than the bayou. One thing that I've recently been implicating into my reverb use is to instead of separately adding different reverbs to different tracks is to just use a single send track and play ...

In b4 "learn music".
I would be interested in knowing too.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the replies, this thread definitely got me closer to the sound I'm looking for. What's amazing is that I actually find myself subtracting a lot of unecessary elements from my songs, I realized I was trying to hide instruments that didn't sound satisfying behind a ...

Try using Massive's tube on your sub to add some harmonics, don't overdo it though, sub basses are supposed to be felt more than heard. Or you could try another plugin, Voxengo LF Punch is great but not free.
Getting kick and bass to sound right together is a bitch and always will be, either bring ...

I think he meant FL Limiter on the master. You should ditch that and keep your master channel empty until the final mixdown

@blinkesko ok ! thank you

@mthrnfk you have to know the rules before you can bend them

Omg I "fixed" it. I'm gonna have a hard time explaining it without sounding stupid but it was all a matter of misperception between fl (does play at full volume by default when using fast-track), the output/mix knob on the soundcard and the windows volume settings. Basically, with all these factors ...

You mean mastered tunes ? No, but again I'm not trying to compete with professional tracks I just want it to sound as loud as in my daw. I think the problem might be related to FL bypassing the volume control of my computer and playing everything as loud as possible by default. The only way I can ...
