Hey everyone! Let’s talk mics—specifically, the difference between condenser and dynamic mics. Knowing which one to use can totally change your audio game! Condenser Mics: (Audio Technica AT2020) - Super Sensitive: They pick up all the details, which is awesome for vocals and acoustic stuff. - Wide Range: Great for studio recordings. - Needs Power: These guys require phantom power, so make sure your gear can handle it! When to Use: Perfect for studio work, podcasts, and anything where clarity is key. Dynamic Mics: (Shure SM58) - Tough and Ready: Built to handle loud sounds—ideal for live shows. - Less Background Noise: Great at cutting out unwanted sounds. - No Phantom Power Needed: Super easy to set up! When to Use: Best for live gigs, amplifying instruments, and noisy environments. Recording at home? Go with a condenser. Performing live? Grab a dynamic! What’s your go-to mic? Let’s hear it!

Here is a song I produced in Ableton Live. I have this song posted to @Wavlake as well, titled "With The tide". I used presets for my bass and melody sections from my preset pack "Reactive" for Vital synth. Reach out if you'd like to have the pack! Let me know what you think of the track in the comments, and check it out on wavlake!

🎶 Stems vs. Tracks: What’s the Difference? 🎶 Confused about stems and tracks? Understanding the difference can drastically improve the quality of your mix! **Tracks** = Individual instrument or audio files on separate channels. **Stems** = Groups of instruments or “parts” combined into a single audio file. For example, when a mixing engineer asks for a *drums stem*, they’re looking for one audio file with all the drum elements combined. But if they request *drum tracks*, you’ll need to export each drum element separately and send them in a folder. Why Does This Matter? Mixing tracks individually gives your engineer much more control. For instance, if the snare’s too loud relative to the kick, adjusting the entire drums stem won’t fix that balance. Also, processing on a stem applies to every element in it, so individual tracks are always preferred! Best Practices for Sending Files When preparing files, make sure to include: 1. A full mix of all tracks on one audio channel. 2. Stems for each instrument group (e.g., drums, guitars, vocals). 3. Each individual track bounced separately. Pro tip: An organized session with clearly labeled tracks makes life easier for your mixing engineer! #MixingTips #MusicProduction #AudioEngineering #ProAudio #IndependentArtist #Musician

In high school I was a D student with a 2.5 GPA average. Crazy to think how well you succeed at something you actual find enjoyable!

I mixed a really nice track today! Got to use some new plugins (free to use) for metering. I primarily use Logic to mix with stock logic plugins for metering, but the stereo tool from Flux is really great! It lets you create a preset with custom settings that you can then compare back and forth with. Really nice! Span from Voxengo is a must have as well. Customizable metering is essential to your workflow.
