I'd like to do new final mixes using an external mixer with fx.
Hello,
I would like to do new final mixes on my tunes from GB. I can't seem to achieve the clarity and equalization in my final mixes like that of a song on the radio. I've been told that my music sounds like it was recorded on my hard drive, which I totally don't understand.
I've been using GB for more than 3 years and I'm learning my way around LE8. I don't understand much at all about bus paths and sends.
Is there an external mixer that doesn't cost thousands that I could get to re-do my final mixes and achieve that radio sound quality?
I use only midi/software instruments aside from voice. Mic-pre-amps, phantom power for my condenser mics and possibly midi i/o would be great features to include in this mixer I so longingly seek.
I hope all of this makes sense. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
I didn't know that GB had mastering capabilities. When I got the comment that my music sounds like it was "recorded on my hard drive" I thought that was the reason my final mixes have that "cloudy" sound.
Any tips on mastering using GB and LE8?
It's good to know that I don't need to purchase any additional hardware in order to get radio quality sound in my final mixes. I am more than eager to learn how to get a professional finished product.
much appreciated.

How do I transfer my data to my new macbook pro using an external hard drive?
I've already set up my new MacBook Pro is my issue. It asked me if I'd like to "Migrate" my stuff or use an external hard drive etc but at the time I didn't transfer my data from my old MacBook yet. I was going to manually do it later as I had to wait for my External hard drive to back my old Mac up. Now it's that time and I have no idea how to do it. I believe I've researched best of my ability.
I feel like I'm asking a pretty dumb question. If I were to just drag all my programs out like my Adobe Suite on to my new macbook pro would that work? I feel like that's just too easy and incorrect. Please and thank you.The Adobe suite can be downloaded free, you dont have to copy it at all, under standard CS6 Adobe rules, if you own the suite, you get 2 computers "activated at any one time" Make sure, if youre not using the older computer, you deactivate the software under the HELP menu in Adobe.
format the new drive in disk utility ......APPLICATIONS.....UTILITIES.....DISK UTILITIES.......select the external drive and format (if its new and empty!!!) under the ERASE button with Mac OSX extended journaled
copy all your important stuff from older computer , pics, files, documents, personal anything.
most of you apps, i ASSUME you bought in the (other than Adobe software, or Office suite, etc etc,..... obviously) in the MAC APP store, so you can reload them on the new computer without copying them , makes things very easy......just open APP STORE, and download what you already bought.
really the only important things , is copy all important work files, documents, pictures, personal ABC...XYZ...... obviously.
the migration is about emails, contacts, etc etc etc, also data, just because you passed it by at the time doesnt mean you still cant do it, go to the SEARCH at menu at top and type in MIGRATION ASSISTANT to do it again , since you passed it by at first .
the only thing you NEED / SHOULD copy is all your personal stuff........Applications need to be reinstall from either ONLINE download,.......or from the MAC APP STORE,........ you cant just copy the apps over (in most cases) and toss them onto the new computer
Nahh, there are no dumb questions, just dumb mistakes because you DIDNT ask any questions, and we all make those here and there. -

How can I open more than one tab in Firefox Home on an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1? I can access the tabs page but all the entries are blank and I can't find a way to open a new page in a new tab.
That doesn't fix the problem which seems to be more of a bug, but that's a great solution. In fact I think I like that more than right clicking. Thanks.

Apple iTunes Home Sharing, and using an external AP with new GigE Wireless "N" Router
I just upgraded to the Verizon FiOS (Actiontec) GigE Wireless "N" Router (from the old megabit wireless A/B/G router) last week. So far, almost everything has been working okay. Before I get to the issue, let me make another statement...
My house is kind of a funny shape, so I have had to add on an additional access point to the router to help more fully cover the house. So, I have an additonal AP (Amped Wireless part # AP20000G) plugged into one of the ports on the Verizon Fios GigE Router.
However, I ran into a bit of a stumbling block when trying to do Home Sharing to the devices on my network. Initially, I found that Home Sharing wouldn't work at all. I found that disabling the IGMP Proxy seemed to fix this, so long as I was connecting only to the wireless AP that's in the Verizon FiOS router. However--when I connect to my additional AP, home sharing will not work.
Long story short, it seems like the Verizon router is blocking traffic between my iTunes server and any device that's connected to the external access point. What could be causing this, and how can it be fixed?'But can I both create the wireless network and remain connected to the city-wide wireless?'
Yes I think so. To answer in more detail, can I draw parallels with my set-up?
I've an Extreme wired to a router (a house-wide, not city-wide network).
From this there are three computers that can all connect to the internet (one wired, two wireless)
As well as this I have four Expresses connected to various sound systems around the house.
The comparison I'm trying to make lies with my daughters PC laptop which, whilst always connected to the internet (via the Extreme) can be taken around the house and via Airtunes, play her iTunes library through any of the expresses.

Using the same external drive with Time Machine on new mac?
I recently got a new mac because my old one broke. Thankfully, I had a fresh backup on Time Machine ready to restore onto my new computer. But when I try to use Time Machine with my new computer, it keeps wanting to do a whole new backup. It won't recognize the latest backup to only add new or changed files.
Here's a breakdown of my events:
new computer
restore Time Machine on new computer at install
want to continue using the external drive with Time Machine from where I left off (only adding new files since the last backup) on my new computer
Time Machine wants to do a whole new backup
Question: How can I continue to use my existing external hard drive with Time Machine on my new computer, picking up where I left off (not a new, complete backup)?
My old computer was Snow Lepoard, my new one is Lion.Bergers wrote:
new computer
restore Time Machine on new computer at install
That should have left a "trail" in your SystemMigration log, so Time Machine can figure out what happened and automatically "inherit" the old backups. But sometimes, obviously, that doesn't work.
Since it didn't, there's a chance you can do it manually. See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. -
I'm attempting to migrate files, address book, maile, etc to my new Mac Mini using an external hard drive and Migration assistant. I followed the instructions on using Migration Assistant to do this but Migration Assistant is not seeing the external drive, which is displayed on my desktop
I've been chasing this problem all afternoon. I had to reformat my internal drive on my MBP and reinstall Mountain Lion Start up assistant wouldn't see my extrnal drive with the Time Machine files on it. After many tries, I skipped the restore there and let the system boot. I could see my external drive from Finder and the files looked OK. I was told to use Migration Assistant and it had the same problem.
I saw a hint on one of these posts that the icon that you see and is label Macintosh HD is actually your backup disk and it is telling you that it has a copy of your internal Macintosh HD. I went ahead and told it to continue and it started to restore my apps, settings, and documents. It's been going for a couple of hours, and is close to being done. I expect to see my old system restored when it is finished.
Wish that Apple would put some type of note that it is seeing the backup. That is most confusing and seems to be a problem for lots of users.
It's been a month or so since your post Did your get it to work? -
How can I make a new genius mix? I do not want to make a genius playlist. Genius has already created two mixes but I would like another based on other genres within my extensive music library. I have tried updating Genius from Store>Update Genius but to no avail. Thank you!
Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

Pre Mastering/levels on final mix
I am fairly new to LogicPro. My levels in PT were pretty good on final mixes..I have been messin' around for several weeks with Logics master plugs(adaptive limiter/compressors) on 1-2 but levels seem still pretty low. Any suggestions to boost it up without destroying the mix? also would i put a limiter before or after a compressor on 1-2 ?Thank you
How are your individual tracks? Is the mix level itself (not the mastering level) satisfactory?
All depending on the song, I usually use the Multipressor/EQ/Adaptive Limiter (usually in this order, but not always at the same time). Sometimes if it fitting, I will stick in the Stereo Spreader in the chain. Mind you, I will often A/B the results to see if the plug-ins made it sound better or just louder (if it's just louder, I'll take it out).
Check your settings on the Adaptive Limiter. You may be able to squeeze a bit more gain out of your final result without making a sonically mushy brick. Like I stated earlier, I also add in the Multipressor at times as it can bring out a little sparkle (or oomph, depending on the sound) in the mix when used judiciously. Mind you, if you use it, pay attention to the bands you are working on. Otherwise, you will wind up destroying the mix.

(Speaking of) Waves audio production plug-ins; Getting a punchier final mix
I was looking to get a punchier sound from my final mixes and I was referred to Waves by both the Sam Ash Guy and the Guitar Center Guy for my making-it-sound-punchier needs. Does anyone have any experience with some other (3rd-party) sonic maximizers or compression plug-ins?
The reason why I bring this up is because I was casually listening to my iTunes collection and whenever one of my own tracks played via the shuffle mode, the sound was less punchier, had less presence than even simple acoustic-guitar music! I believe I'm doing a decent mixing job and manage to get my peak levels pretty high with some tasteful limiting, but, man, my tracks don't quite have that punch. What gives?Not exactly sure what you mean by punchier, but here's a great way to get "punchier" drums in GB....and you don't have to spend any more money then you already have.
First, you'll need a few of things, all FREE!!:
Download the W1 Limiter. It's based on the Waves ultra-something-or-other-limiter. It's fantastic.
http://yohng.com/w1limit.html
Download CamelCrusher. It's a nice distortion/compression plug in that gives it a nice analog "warmth" when used correctly.
http://www.camelaudio.com/camelcrusher.php
And finally, download Channel. It acts as an analog channel strip would, introducing just a tiny hint of analog style distortion. May sound like a bad thing, but give it a try, it can work wonders!
http://www.airwindows.com/f/Channel.dmg
Now that you have those 3 plugs, here's what I suggest:
First, get the drum track the way you want it to be rhythmically.
Then solo that track and put the CamelCrusher in one plug in slot and select either one of these presets, Tube Warmth, or Subtle Master. Of course feel free to tweak to taste and experiment with other presets.
Then I'd put on the Channel plug in and set the slider to taste.
Then on the Master track, I'd put the W1 Limiter and crush the drums a shade.
Then share your "drums only song" with iTunes and drag it back into GB. This will give you a huge sounding "squashed" drum kit sound.
Now that you imported the audio file of the "squashed drums", you can remove all the plug ins from the drum channel and the master channel. What you'll want to do at this point is blend the normal drums with the "squashed drums" until it sounds huge. This is called the New York Compression trick.
The nice thing about this trick is that you don't have to use these plug ins I pointed you to. You can use the Apple AU plug ins, you can go buy other 3rd party plug ins, or you can go hunt for me free plug ins. Each one will have a different and unique sound. So you'll definitely want to experiment with those as well. I even like to put two compressors on the track and one compressor on the master sometimes. Really kills the dynamics, but when blended with the unaffected drums, it makes it VERY punchy.
Hope that helps.

Hallo out there,
Well , I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago picking brains about final mixes and had a lot of helpful suggestions . Now I have another! I have seven songs with background sea and bird sounds which I bounced down and burnt to disc.
Played it on a couple of stereos and it sounds ok but when I played it through the TV it sounds ruddy awful. All the trebles are up and the bass is boomy and ..well the whole mix sounds crap! I havent used any limiters or compressors on the final output yet so could this be the way to solve this or am I having to go back to a full re mix? In which case how does one get a good example playing it through me mac that will give me a good representation of the TV? Or is it just a question of trying dif bounces with compressor and limiter and the like?
Help!
MartoHi there Justin,
Thanks for reply. Yes, I am slowly getting to know the little dears but the prob I've got is the music sounds as I want it through my tannoy monitors and through the stereo speakers but the TV is so radically diferent I really don't know where to start. On the mix played through the mac and a stereo the music has a warm feel to it which disapears when heard through the tv. Sounds like I've recorded the guitar and tympany in a biscuit tin! Seems to be loosing depth on mid range ! Have tried a new mix with adjustments on the graphic equaliser but it seems a bit hit and miss! ...I know ... hit it with big heavy object and revert to pub! Back to the tweaking.

Need some Help with the new Genius Mixes on iTunes 9
I would like to know how to use the New Genius Mixes on iTunes 9. I don't quit know how to use it yet and like all of us we're all just learning how to use the Genius Mixes. I did watch the KeyNote but they didn't go into great detail on how to use it. Does Apple have a web site that has more detail instruction on how to use the genius Mixes? I did find some info. on how to use the Genius mixes but it didn't go into great detail on how or what to do with the genius Mixex and thats what I need.
when I click on the genius Mixes icon under the "Genius", what shows up is a Big square with four album images of my music that I have in my music collection, I go and roll my mouse over the Big square with my four music albums and click on it to play the music and it'll play what ever I have in the Genius Mix list plus as I roll my mouse over the Big Square, under it it says "Jazz Mix" with some text writings under the Jazz mix.
I want to change the Jazz mix Title and I want to know how to add more music square boxes to my Genius Mixes just like they show in the Keynote and I would like to edit and create my own four square music boxes in my Genius Mixes.
I never used my music genius list, I always created just a play List, now I am just learning how to use this music Genius lists and I don't know how to use it at all and I need someone that knows how to use thr Genius Mixes list to help me how to use it since there isn't a how to book yet for the new iTunes 9.
Can someone Please help me with the new genius Mixes on iTunes.
Thank you,
Mrs Trisha FosterToday, I was getting an array out of bounds exception on a split
I don't see how that could happen with the 'split' method since it creates its own array.
For this particular string, ordSplit.length = 24 and commas = 26.
PERFECT! That is exactly what it should be!
Look closely at the end of the sample string you posted and you will see that it has trailing empty strings at the end: '1096200000000242505,,,'
Then if you read the Javadocs for the 'split' method you will find that those will NOT be included in the resulting array:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)
split
public String[] split(String regex)
Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression. This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.
Just a hunch but your 'out of bounds exception' is likely due to your code assuming that there will be 26 entries in the array and there are really only 24.
