    owwww to much to say on this but writing it down would take toooo long...

     

    Lets just say there is no right or wrong with music but experience and practise are key... plus there are 1000 different ways of getting the same result's.

     

    ""the sampled recording in question will already have been mastered and mixed and "produced" to a given standard, meaning they will have certain EQing on them, panning (if you sample in stereo), compression, filters and effects. I guess my question is how do you deal with that""

     

    - I would never use a sample in its raw form. so look at it, eq, mono or widen... basicly make it fit your tune... or : ) write your tune round the sample.

     

    Mastering is a pro set of ears (with experience) running through pro equipment, comming out of pro monitors in a treated (very inportant) room. People who say they can get the same results at home on the laptop are just kidding themselfs. IMO

     

    @tom... clipping is something my mate has been telling me is ok recently. Go;s agaist every thing i (and many other's think) but is done more and more now. so if you had punchy drums with big peaks and the rest of the tune looked alot lower, but all sounded right in the mix, then just puch the overall vol by 3 - 6 db. You can get away with a little with it still sounding ok and loud. This is instead of limiting the whole track as this will squash the freq's which you dont want.

    damm right... mastering is deff not for fixing tracks but it can hide a few mistakes. you cant polish a turd tho.. (im in no way reffering to your stuff btw) I want to hear more pre and post mastered material. I also need to build a good reference folder. I been told (shouted at) for a few months now that without referencing constantly when mixing down that your basicly "drawing in the dark". Its hard to belive sometimes cos you think your tunes sound ok, punch in the right places and all that but when you compare to radio ready mix;s they sound so off. Its a annoying cos i been writing for over 20 odd years and still cant get it right. practise more I know but fuck how much time does it take.

     

    Your stuff is sounding tight but i bet you hate the sound still???

    yer i know... I wish i had done more over the years. when i started djing i was always doing tape's and minidisc's but when i started geting into rouintes it all stoped. I would like to do a tape with al but its just getting round to it. whenever we hook up now we just get pissed and play computer games and take the piss out of each other. we dont really practise anymore. I got next week off work to finish my album then im going to start a few fresh projects. hopefully a scratch tape will be one of them.
