  1. Compress your cymbals with a very fast attack and release at 6:1 (or so). You might actually be able to use your overhead mics.
  2. RT @bestb3284: @olsendan And if you have aux fed subs, you could throw a little bit of the guitars in there (if you don't have a bassist)
  3. Doing an acoustic set this morning? Consider removing the hi-pass filter from the acoustic guitar for extra low-end presence.
  4. @zekesauce : sorry we missed your tweet. Are you still having problems? Email info@ownthemix.com
  5. Snare tip: add around 125Hz and remove some 1k-5k for a beefy snare sound that doesn't hurt or interfere with vocals.
  6. Never been a more important day to minimize distractions and give it your best. God bless you all.
  7. @Adsmith47 : I like Radial's products...like the J48. I like to mic amps if possible. A big part of a player's sound.

  9. If your Music needs a huge step up, try Ableton Live. And, this guy is your secret weapon. Trust me. ableton.com/education/cert…
  10. @richarddubay : maybe? Start by just removing the comp., and then maybe riding the fader. Hopefully, your communicator isn't ultra dynamic.
  11. @richarddubay : : with a lot of communicators, the cost of using a compressor outweighs the benefit.
  12. @richarddubay : : compressors raise the volume of the noise floor. Usually, the offending frequency is in that. More volume = more feedback.
  13. @aaronargo : with a lot of communicators, the cost of using a compressor outweighs the benefit.
  14. @waynebrown75 : with a lot of communicators, the cost of using a compressor outweighs the benefit.
  15. @waynebrown75 : compressors raise the volume of the noise floor. Usually, the offending frequency is in that. More volume = more feedback.
  16. @aaronargo : compressors raise the volume of the noise floor. Usually, the offending frequency is in that. Even more volume = more feedback.
  17. If you are struggling with feedback on your communicator's mic, and there is a compressor on the channel, try removing it.
  18. @Sblaski : yep! ...if you have VCAs. :)
  19. Did you know that setting your faders at/near unity (0) sets you up best to mix? Much more flexibility with volume adjustments.
  20. RT @DougJansson: Less than one day after joining @ownthemix I know what I'm doing and the mix has improved 1,000 percent! // wow!!
