以自动化代替压缩的更好的混合

If you want to take your mixes to the next level and are willing to put in a little time and effort, automation instead of compression is going to give you the edge you've been looking for.

当使用压缩甚至出轨道的水平早已去到的方法,它有几个缺点,这些缺点的arent容易克服。它可能很难得到压缩机的完美设置来处理所有类型的量问题的轨道可能有。我敢肯定你已遇到了一些这些之前:

  • 有一个短语或单词在这里和那里的电平太lowsetting压缩机阈值足够低,以抓住他们会导致在轨道的其余部分不想要的噪声或其他问题的人声。

    虽然压缩可以是你的朋友,肯定是我推荐使用,它属于短期在许多方面。自动化,另一方面,给你更多的控制,可以使所有的差异在您的混音质量。

    有人会说,自动化一切都是tediousyou能想到的这种方式,或者你可以把它周围,说我的混音是值得额外的努力。

    还有,我使用单独或与压缩结合自动化mixesusing自动化当一对夫妇不同的方法。仅使用自动化,我觉得,可以给你一个更清洁的冠冕堂皇的轨道,因为世界上没有压缩影响音频,但它可以显著耗费更多的时间取决于有多少需求层面的工作要做。当你有一个甚至比较冠冕堂皇的轨道,但只有几个在这里和那里的位需要注意一些压缩与自动化的结合可以是有用的。

    如果你绝对要最好的音质,自动化不仅是要走的路。你可以完全控制每一个字,说明和轨道的细微差别。

    在这个截图中,你可以看到如何使用自动化来控制声轨和造就特定的词/短语林为例。在这种情况下,压缩干脆不会做什么我neededthe凹凸从-9.6到-6在第二句话中间的第一个短语或-5.9节结束时将是不可能的。

    好吧,你说,我想这样做,但不是有更简单的方法吗?直到最近,我就不得不说noyou只需要投入时间。已在过去几年改变了,现在已经有插件,可以使自动化曲目轻松很多的任务。从波浪声乐骑士,MAutoVolume从Melda生产和波浪骑士从安静的艺术(Pro Tools中只),有一些是香港专业教育学院发现非常有用。根据轨道用的youre工作的类型,你可能还要做一些调整,但可以减少相当自动化的时间花费的金额。在那里他们功亏一篑,香港专业教育学院发现,通常是用感性体积differencesbass轨迹浮现在脑海中,其中特别值得注意弹出,但其由于谐波含量的说明,而不是一个实际的体积差。

    如果youre不服气的是,我能说的就是尽力ITIM完全相信,将会有清晰度和混音的一致性明显改善。

I was just reading Steve Albini completely hating on compression and limiting (and most of the rest of the universe) and was wondering whether this might be a more 'dynamically authentic' approach. I remember doing this before i understood the concept of compressors, and it looks like i might be heading back that way.

Do you also apply this technique to bass tracks where that one note pops out so much louder than the rest (or at least perceptually so), or do you find a way to somehow lessen that extra harmonic content to tame it a bit?

Bonzo -

The example of the bass track note popping out is *exactly* the kind of situation this works perfectly for! Bass tracks, especially, can be tricky to get compression right, as they have a lot of low frequency energy that will trigger the compressor, but also has higher frequency notes that won't. When using a compressor someone may reach for a multiband and struggle with finding the right frequency range to cover all the perceptually louder notes on the track. Using automation can fix of those individually without causing any detrimental effects to the rest of the track.

Glad to hear you got your buzz problem solved as well!

"Some may say that automating everything is tedious—you can think of it that way, or you can turn it around and say ‘my mixes are worth the extra effort’. "

Yep. Zactly. It's sooooooo worth the effort. For me it's not "extra effort". It's just the right amount of effort required. :)
