Oh okay, I just did a test and a question had you identify Bantam cables from a selection of pictures and I didn't know what it was. Thanks bud Ok great! Thanks a lot:)

Hi Could anyone explain what a Bantam cable is? Or what bantam means in regards to cables? I've tried googling but I feel as if I'm getting mixed result. Thanks, Théodore

ah ok cool, great. Thanks for the reply

Hi, I'm currently mastering some of my own tracks and I'm wondering about spotify's 14 LUFS standard (atleast it was that the last time I heard). What does that actually mean? Do they normalize the loudest parts of the track to 14 LUFS or the integrated LUFS to 14 or whats the deal? Best regards

Okay thanks! I'll try that and try and get a healthier level when recording. Would you mind me asking why one shouldn't mess with the master fader?

Alright, here's my mixer and main window. Is there a difference when you raise the stereo out?

Hey, So I've been having some troubles with my mixes being really quiet in the pre-mastering stages, like we're talking around -45LUFS (this is pretty low right, I'm not crazy?). Is there a difference between raising the volume of my mix by putting for instance an EQ or gain plugin on the stereo output and turning it up, compared to raising the faders on the individual tracks? Thanks

Hey, Is there any difference between recording a guitar part with the gain knob on my audiobox a bit higher so I get a healthy recording level and then using the fader to turn it down compared to having a lower gain on my interface to begin with and just recording it where I want the part to sit in the mix from the get go? By difference I mean in regards to timber of the sound/how much static noise is being generated. Thanks

I'm sorry, so does, more specifically, having a plugin in the stereo-version rather than the mono one actually make a difference when used on a panned mono-track? Because honestly I'm having a hard time hearing it in logic.

So I was reading this column about reverb and this section has me a bit confused: Most of the time (not all of the time) you're going to want your reverb to emanate from the same center of gravity that your instrument is coming from. So if your guitar is panned 33% to the left, you want the guitar's reverb to also be be panned 33% to the left. We're keeping things reality based here. If you're using your DAW's mixer like most of us are, this will happen for you because the reverb insert is coming in after the track's panning. Or you're sending the signal post-pan to a bus that has the reverb on it. A mono reverb will sound like it's right behind the instrument creating it. A panned stereo reverb will have it's center of mass panned, but the echoes will fan out across the entire stereo field. And that's your mush problem. If I for instance have a synth part in mono, pan it to +38, and put a reverb plugin in stereo mode on it, will it bridge out more into the stereo field than if I've had the plugin in mono? I've tried around in logic myself but I feel as if I'm going crazy and thought it'd be best to get a confirmation. If not, when would you "accidentally" have your reverb going out stereo whilst your track is mono in logic? Sorry if I'm phrasing the question a bit unclear but this section made me feel as if I'm missing something. Here's the article if you wanna look closer. https://ledgernote.com/columns/mixing-mastering/mixing-with-reverb/ Thanks

Hey, I wanna check out some volume levels on songs on spotify and I'm just wondering how you guys go about getting the files to look at into your DAWs? I know there's sites for converting youtube to mp3 but as I understand it youtube allows a higher LUFS. Might be a stupid question but honestly I can't think of an obvious way of going about it. Thanks

Hi, I hope this is the right forum for this question. So I've been using Pro Q 3 for a while now and really like the spectrum collisions feature, but is it only me that feels as if the red highlights sometimes only appear in the analyzer panel and not in the main EQ hud? Is this only me, and if not, which one are you supposed to go after? (And no I don't blindly follow the highlights It's just been bugging me a bit) Thanks in advance guys, Théoooo
