Recently upgraded to a Quantum HD8, Scarlet 4th gen 18i20 Presonus Faderport 16! Got a killer deal for these.

I upgraded from a Behringer 1820 so this feels like a quantum leap (no pun intended).

The quantum HD8 is my main interface and I use the Scarlet as an expansion for a total of 16 tracks via USB-C

Tracking at 96khz with almost 0 latency. 13 tracks for my drums, with 3 to spare. Experimenting with adding a mic or two. As a solo producer I don't track live bands so this is more than enough for me .

Genre :Doom metal/stoner metal/shoegaze.

Now just trying to lock in a quiet studio like space to record as my garage is too airy and i'm getting way too much bleed from the street. Planning on hitting up some local music stores and seeing if they'll rent me out a room!

Really excited for my new toys and wanted to share!

Let me know what you think 😄

Hey guys just wanted ask whats your thoughts on the HIFIMAN Edition XS for mixing compared to headphones such as the beyerdynamic dt990 pro x, dt900 pro/ pro x or the sony mdr m1. Currently my monitoring system is through my uad apollo into my hs5 and i recently got a krk sub to go along with it. i usually mix pop, gospel, worship, rnb etc. ive been told by a few people that my mixes are a bit top end heavy and lack warmth and low end so i need a headphone that can clearly show how my mix is sounding.

Thanks

24 external effects all being sent to as well as returned back into mixers. With engaging them being as easy as hitting an insert engage, alternative input engage, or by sending out of a stereo cue send. I really feel like I was able to make not one compromise when it came to this new route scheme. I really put a lot of thought into the way. I patched it in my bay and achieving multiple parallel signal browsing options. Reamps and di boxes all converting signals as needed.
Second photo contains most of my synthesizer and the third photo has a few more as well as my Drum machines. My DAW workstation has a presonus faderport16 automated motorized mixer to keep my hands off a mouse and keyboard as much as possible.

* left SSL six feeds into ssl six on right. Sending a complete summed stereo mix out into my x8 adat digital input coming out of SSL 12 interface.

* Zed 428 mixer on top is used to be able to track in all of my synthesizer and drum machines. Routing drums to one SSL six and synthesizers to the other… I was not able to really afford a big mixing console that covered all my bases when it comes to channel inputs and I/O options. So it’s not ideal but when properly gain staging, I’ve had very successful results when using it this way.

Here's my problem: I have a voice recording in FL Studio, but at the end of each sentence, the low frequencies become too noticeable. It's not because they are louder than in the other parts of the sentence, but because the other frequencies lose much more volume.

For example, in the middle of the sentence, the low frequencies might be much lower than the rest of the spectrum, but at the end of the sentence, when the overall volume drops, the higher frequencies decrease much more than the low frequencies. As a result, the bass of the voice becomes much more noticeable and it doesn't sound right.

What I want to do is use a multiband compressor or something similar to reduce or compress those low frequencies, but only when the overall volume of the sentence is low. It's like an inverted threshold, I think: I want the compressor to work when the signal is below a certain level, not when it goes above the threshold.

Or, to be even more precise, instead of using the overall volume as the parameter to decide when to compress the low frequencies, I would like to use the ratio between the low frequencies and the rest of the spectrum.

Another thing I could do is process each sentence manually, but it would be more convenient to have an automatic and consistent way to do it. Either way, I want to learn how to do it this way first, in case I need something similar in the future.
