  1. Ok, so you mean just listening to the audio and decide for myself how to treat it. Sounds like I will make a lot of mistakes but maybe that's how I will learn So there aren't any rules for dialog - no "typical" areas to boost/cut a voice and no need for a compressor on every track? Somehow it reminded me of music mixing where people told me to use certain things to make it sound "produced" for example using compressors on a voice. I was hoping a similiar approach would work for dialog, too. Are there at least any guidelines like "typically make the dialog sound deeper, fuller" or anything like that? I am really afraid that I will listen to the dialog and go, wow I don't even know how to start processing it... Thanks for all the answers
  2. Thank you very much for the answers. So, we can also use compressors for dialog, right? I would imagine using it very soft to control the audio a bit but not that it sounds compressed, right? And rolling off the low end is senseless? I understand that every scene has it's own dialog and it's own setting and that you can't predict how to treat it. But there must be some kind of little paper that can help me, no? Things like I had for learning how to mix audio, e.g. "Snare Drum: Fatness at 120-240Hz, crispness at 5kHz" etc. Is there by any chance a similar approach for dialog? For example I don't really know how we would use an EQ on dialog - the same way as we would for a music vocal? Or are there maybe things like "often push lows because of ...". I hope my questions make sense, I'm not the best english speaker Thanks for your answers
  3. I'm not interested in any automated stuff, I want to learn how it's done correctly.
  4. Hello guys, I have a question about mixing dialogue for film. Do we use the same tools for that as for music, like compressors? I need a bit of advice on how the effects chain on a dialogue bus could look like. I have the Waves CLA compressor bundle and the Ren Comp (which of them would be better for dialogue - do we want some coloration or do we need the cleanest possible result?). Also with EQs, do we lowpass/highpass the dialogue or leave all the rumble in the lows there? So basically I want to know how to use EQ and compression on film dialogue Thank you for any help
  5. Thanks. Yes EastWest wet sound isn't always nice so i think dry samples and Space Designer would be better. How do you find Logic's strings? Any worse than Miroslav Philharmonik?
  6. I should add that i'm especially interested in the violin, viola and cellos.
  7. Hi guys, i wanted to ask how do you compare Logic's Orchestral Strings vs let's say IK Multimedia Philharmonik, or East West. Is there a big difference? Thanks
  8. Thank you lagerfeldt you help me (and others too i'm sure ) out a lot! If you ever decide to publish a (online) magazine about audio and recording, i will be the first to buy/read. Keep up the great work!
  9. Ok thanks. Another question: when parametric means variable, what the fixed called then? And can a digital EQ sound "better" than another or is this just marketing (i.e Waves) and everything sounds the same. This is the most important question for me. Thanks again
  10. Thanks. Yeah there is a little misunderstanding i think I use Logic's Channel EQ for now but also tried some 3rd party plugin demos - i just don't know which to pick I would use Channel EQ (with the graphic representation - which i don't like) for sweeping and cutting bad frequencies (because of the flexibility and transparency) abd a "knob" only (i still don't know how they are called ) for boosting with color. Thanks again
  11. Thanks for your answers While it is true that i don't have as much experience as you guys, i can't get comfortable with a graphical EQ. The curves and visual representation hold me back from concentrating on the sound. I wanted to try a "knob" EQ ( sorry i don't know exactly what they are called - i thought parametric?) which i woild use based on whether i like the sound it is making by boosting the frequencies. Can you please recommend me such an EQ so i can try it out and see if i like it more? From what i've heard i should cutting bad frequencies with a transparent EQ and boosting with some color. On the other hand i heard that every digital EQ sounds the same. I would appreciate if you can help me out with this Thank you guys, you are great
  12. Thanks for your answer. I heard that parametric EQ's are better because they force you to learn what frequencies sound like Can you recommend me a good parametric EQ please? Maybe the Waves SSL or are there cheaper and better ones? And would it be Ok to use Logic's Channel EQ for sweeping and cutting frequencies and boosting with a parametric EQ? Thanks for your help
  13. HI guys, i am using Logic's Channel EQ for now and read a lot about 3rd party EQ's and how it's all maybe overrated. Is it true that i can get better results with using another EQ and use Logic's EQ only for cutting? Or can i just boost with Logic's and get the same results? I searched the forums and get to the point where everyone is having a different opinion and it's not something clear. So do you think you can produce very nice mixes using Logic's EQ only or should you get another plugin (if yes then what?) to add something? Thanks for any help
  14. I would really recommend that you buy some monitor speakers. I thought a while ago that my cheap Bose speakers (without a subwoofer for 99 Euro) will do the job but when i got my monitors (ESI nEar 05) it's just like a different world. Do you have an audio interface, if so even more reasons to get monitors I didn't listen to your music yet and am still learning, too but what i've learned is that it's the small things that make the difference in the mix. I couldn't imagine how a small EQ on every channel can change things to the better
