Music production

Vocals day. I'm still a bit husky after the cold I had last month, but l used it to my advantage in this recording and gave the song a bit of a rough edge with it.

Stupid amounts of dynamic range that needed to be compensated for, so there are not one but two compressors in the mastering chain, with different knees to make for a three-gradient compressor.

Now have to lug out the Yamaha monitor speakers and listen to how awful it is in a room rather than through headphones.

And my reply:

Stage name Jay Peach @jaypeach5...

I've become resigned to listening to my music thru several pairs of headphones, and 4 sets of speakers. But I rarely chance the mix based on what l've heard. I mix to get the best from $150 headphones and $50 lEMs.

Most gear consumers have are really suboptimal so I just live with the fact that what people listen to is not what I recorded.
