Do you guys have any rules or guidelines to creating the best album sequence? I'm not asking for hard/fast rules, just how others approach it.

Nope.
I just put songs in order, generally from soft to hard and play the album. If some feel like they should be moved, I move them.
They usually don't end up in the same order I start them in, or even in the soft to hard kind of progression.

Not... Always.
Some people like composers/film scorers

But some of us are weird, too. It's like a compromise.

The quality isn't epic due to me having to convert WAV. files down to MP3 files but if anyone wants the file I guess I could send the actual WAV. files instead.

Doesn't your DAW let you export straight to .mp3?

I only have Pro Tools SE, It doesnt come with an MP3 export option unless I pay around Ã'£10 for it. Seemed silly to me but would it really be worth it? Also thanks for the link :)

Worth it? I don't think so. I never export to mp3. The only time I ever need an mp3 file is when I'm uploading to NG, and the lame codec is free.

come at me

Sounds like someone has bad mixes.

The thread isn't about complaining, it's about improving. I personally learned a lot from it, and discovered some useful tools.

Grow up.

No.
Why? Because good is as subjective as anything we've discussed. All you have to do to 'win' this pointless debate of A or B is say "this isn't good," and use your popularity and 'professionalism' to validate yourself. You imply friendliness but your word choice suggests a patronizing tone.

If, however, you insist, EQ in my NG uploads is scarce, if that's not obvious.

Oh, I missed this.
No, I never said the word mixing.
I never implied mixing techniques.

But I still wouldn't EQ in the mixing phase.

How? Sound is strictly subjective. Achieving a good sound is not the same as conforming to a vague, if not undefined standard as "professional."

It's not opinion when it's fact.

But it is opinion.

fact
Noun
A truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true.

My actual experience and observations tell me that EQ is not necessary to achieve a good sound.

What you should keep in mind is that I never sad "EQ is bad" "EQ is wrong" or "Do not EQ your music"
I said that "I do not EQ my music without reason. I only use it to fix recording problems."

You completely missed the purpose of my post, didn't you?

This thread is against the rules, sorry.

The emphasis is firmly on the creation of music rather than listening and appreciation. (Threads relating to your favorite song, band, or guitar solo will be deleted.)

No. I'm talking about all styles and genres.

Thank you for your opinion, but I disagree strongly. You don't NEED to EQ anything, and I would more often than not say that almost nothing needs to be EQed if it's mic'd properly.

Pro's/Con's?
Also, when is the best time to EQ in relation to these two?

[Compression] --> [Reverb]
The reverb will sound more open and spacious, and the sound will maintain more of the original punch.
Still dependent on your settings on both effects, though.

[Reverb] --> [Compression]
The sound will feel more forced, more loud, if you will. Doesn't sound very spacious to me. I don't use this method often, but in natural recordings in spacious areas, sometimes compression is just necessary.

I do not EQ anything without reason.
The only times I use EQ are to fix recording problems.
For instance, I'm in a band unrelated to my NG content. The bass player's instrument insist on having one frequency area way louder than others, and it sounds like shit.
I EQ that bitch down. I also EQ out frequencies that are silence, usually.
And finally, I EQ pre-compression, pre-reverb.

I think this is possible in M4L.
I'll get right on it.

I see, that's an awesome trick, and sounds excellent. Thanks for the tips.

Yes. I do not want the project tempo to be relevant to my time stretching. Can I not select the original tempo and the new tempo and have it (even destructively) change it for me?

I remember that, but I mean precisely. Like what if I want to go from exactly 128.24 bpm to 64.59 bpm?

Is there a way to change the tempo of recorded audio without affecting the pitch in FL Studio?
I don't remember being able to do that when I was an FL user.
The other day I had to stretch some guitar parts in Live for a friend who only used FL.
If even audacity can do that, there has to be a way in FL, right?

The whut.

I can play Acoustic and Electric Guitar fluently. If you want insane shreds, I'd recommend Jay Summers, however, because I don't do that kind of Electric guitar..
http://jaysummers759885.newgrounds.com/

I have the Addictive Drums plugin, which, when used properly, is completely indiscernible from real drums.

I have a Moog Slim Phatty. I am an able keyboardist, or if you'd like, I can just feed it your MIDI.

I can also record intermediate Violin, Piano, Bass, Classical Guitar.

I also make software instruments, and can make instruments for Ableton Live users on request.

Here is an example. Acoustic Dreadnaught, Fretless bass, Electric guitar (Manual Glitch), ADrums plugin.

Hey, psst.
What software did you use to edit the videos together?
I've been looking for a program that can do that.

The song was pretty awesome too

Your use of commas is a bit generic.
In your video you did state rock as a genra, but whatever.

This is all I have to say.

Actually, I've made a sampled bell instrument that sounds like exactly what you're looking for.

It's on his page, under his audio submissions.

Does my band covering the song count, or does it have to be EDM?
Does it have to be posted on NG, or can it be a youtube video?
