I can get great mixes (if I apply yourself to the task) with, or without VCC. Everything Graham has articulated in terms of a minimalist approach in order to keep things at a manageable level has already been clearly documented in his tutorials. At the same time, I’m so very, very grateful to what the realm of digital has afforded us. One really helpful hint in terms of appreciating VCC hinges on whether or not you’ve actually recorded through a studio board and/or to tape. Thankyou so much, I hope you could help me here since I’m into this stuff more now ? Like Alex’s answer for my question before its pretty hard to get level if mix in headphones.
I want to ask is it true to use a sidechain compression is a good way to make vocal sit on the mix? Couls you explain how to use it? Because sometimes its pretty hard for me to make vocals to sit in the mix since I only use headphones to mix. Should I record recording to input meters? or follow the green led with noises? or just use my feelinga and ear LOL?Ģ. Head to the Seismic promo page and follow the link.1.I want to ask which one is good, First track vocals with a raw unmixed tracks(music) or track vocals with a mixed track? And why?Ģ.Also I want to ask why the track that I recorded always showing a small waveform, I already make the normal view in my DAW but its small, Am I record things too quiet? I recorded the track with a level of -24 to -18 dbfs, but the led on my interface (Focusrite 6i6) not turned green yet at that level, if I crank the gain up till it shows a green led, I can hear a pretty noisy sound coming also it past the -18dbfs.
Seismic is out now and will be available for free download until June 29th. With Seismic, you can add an authentic world-music feel to whatever style of track you are making.Īll of the other sounds are, as you’d expect, hard-hitting and impactful check out the examples. The reason I mention that is that sometimes you hear instruments like a Djembe or Darabuka on a pop track, but it’s played to fit the context and loses some of its originality/personality. Secondly, the rhythms are authentic, so you could venture into areas like Afro-Jazz, etc. Whether it’s the one-shot or loops, the addition of world sounds adds more possibilities than you’d get with a straight Hip-Hop/EDM pack.įirstly, the sounds are authentic, from the instruments (Djembe, Dhol, Darabuka) to the recording. Seismic is perfect for Pop, Hip-Hop, Dance, and EDM, and I think it goes a little bit further.
A lot of sample packs don’t give you many options and are pretty specific in their use cases. One of the things I like about Seismic straight away is that it’s a versatile pack.
Although we like to do a million things to samples, I tend to agree that I’ve never had any complaints about the quality from Slate Digital. When Slate Digital releases a sample pack, they will always describe it as ready to go straight out of the box. The pack contains 229 drum loops, 153 percussion loops, 152 world percussion one-shots, 187 drum one-shots, and 80 signature percussion loops.īeing royalty-free, you can chop and use these samples in any way you see fit, excluding re-distribution, of course. The 800+ samples are a mixture of high-quality drum/percussion loops and one-shots. Seismic is Slate Digital’s biggest free sample pack to date. This one is the Seismic Drum Sample Pack with an impressive selection of drum and percussion samples. It’s not uncommon for Slate Digital to give away sample packs I think there have been several in the past few months (such as the BASSHOLE sample pack from earlier this year).
