20 Secrets of cool edit contraction

1, the removal of the use of the track, the parameters are set straight, turn off the effect of each rail sent.

2, gain control is not included, do not delete the intake.

3, grouping control, the effect of the return of the editor must enter the group.

4, to clear the music of the various parts of the volume changes in the track on the record, as automation when listening to music rather than looking at the level.

5, in the same listening environment to listen to some of the successful commercial music.

6, do not make excessive effect processing, especially reverberation. The more dry the sound of the more forward, if the singer must be added to the voice of the big mixed Xiangcheyunxiao, you can use Pre-delay adjust the wet and dry ratio, so that the song more natural.

7, do not put the bass instrument such as bass, bass drum of the sound phase of the deviation, because the high energy of the sound evenly distributed to two speakers to achieve the best

The effect. And the bass contains only a small amount of pointing information that doesn't even sound.

8, EQ and some of the effects should be in the multi-rail playback when the whole, because the individual play the sound of an instrument is different. EQ do not add too much, so as to make the sound more natural, did not lose the original charm.

9, do not put too many instruments in a band, especially if. Sound source is better. Then use EQ to adjust the distribution of the whole instrument in the spectrum, and strive to give each instrument a certain spectrum space. such as the acoustic guitar in rock music, if you pull down the low-frequency, the sound will be more clearly positioned, but the shrinkage is too clean. Noise on the door of the filter is a good tool, it makes the line is not so clear.

10. EQ Do not ascend or decay too much, and when you make a noticeable change in tone, the external equalizer is better than the mixer.

11, the use of EQ, as far as possible attenuation rather than ascension, the human auditory system is less sensitive to attenuation.

12, the voice of compression to the final mix in the volume of the unified, very few singers without the compressor can keep the volume smooth. "Soft-knee" makes you feel that the effect is not too abrupt. However, if the compression is considered warm and stimulating effect, you can use the "opto-compress" and "Hard-knee", and the high compression ratio. Compression increases background noise. The high compression ratio also exaggerates the tooth tone.

13, sometimes in the control room outside the feeling of the whole song, so you can detect the balance of the voice, too close may not listen.

14, the total volume not too big, this will make the music sounds good, and reduce your hearing. Occasionally open, but in the general contraction, the audience to listen to the volume of music to make a contraction. (excluding disco)

15, to ensure that headphones hear the same as the speaker, because the headphones can be more discriminating between the large speaker can not hear the slight distortion and burst sound. But you can't just listen to headphones because it's not the same as the Speaker stereo.

16, if not necessary, bass black bean and bass volume do not change to change, they are the backbone of the rhythm of the whole song.

17, in the voice of more music, if musical instruments such as the distortion of the guitar, pad must give the song out of the Spectrum space, the song came out, and the band similar to the sound of musical instruments to be lowered -3db, so that the whole tune and the sense of clarity and level. Using a particularly fast attack and release value in the threshold and compressor, the release value may cause gain suction if it is too small.

18, if you shrink midi, do not always look at the display of sequencer, it will disturb your hearing, hardware sequencer device

19. If you use a close-range pickup, the sound is lifeless. Do not want to join the reverberation, you can use some environmental simulation or early reflection simulation equipment to make acoustic space, the shorter the reverberation time, the easier the sound to the front.

20, after the contraction, the next day, the ear rested all night, listen again, and yesterday's feeling changes, put to the different listening system, WalkMan, Discman and car stereo listen to more.
