Re: Why do equalizers have more detail at 1khz and 2khz?
I don't understand what you are getting at. Mid frequency EQ is often parametric or semi-parametric, so the frequency isn't fixed. What particular EQ? Have you a specific example of what you are talking about? Sorry, maybe I wasnt clear at first but you answered the question anyway... well done!. I...

Why do equalizers have more detail at 1khz and 2khz?
I understand that our ears are sensitive in this range so eq moves in this region might need more surgical treatment than in other regions of the spectrum. Is this why the EQ has more magnification in this region compared to the other mid range frequencies? Can someone please give me some practical ...

Re: How to add a mod wheel and expression sliders to my setup without an additional keyboard/piano
It's certainly possible to add them to your existing setup. There are quite a lot of small fader devices from all sorts of companies that are designed to do exactly what you're looking for. Standalone mod wheels are less common, but they do seem to exist. A USB-based device would be the simplest op...

How to add a mod wheel and expression sliders to my setup without an additional keyboard/piano

Is it possible to ...

Re: Is it possible to listen to only the mid channel of a stereo recording?
If you want to isolate sounds that are only in the middle of the stereo spread then it isn't easy and the results are often disappointing. Two tools that I've used are Adobe Audition's Center Channel Extractor and Izotope RX's Center Extract module. That is exactly what I want. So for example to he...

Re: Is it possible to listen to only the mid channel of a stereo recording?
Isn't the Waves center plugin only going to give me a mono sum? That is not what I mean. If I have vocals and kick in the middle and everything else panned to the sides, by making a mono sum it adds the content together so you still hear the sides but softer. What I want to do is remove the side com...

Is it possible to listen to only the mid channel of a stereo recording?
I have a plugin that allows me to listen to the M and S channels seperately. It also allows me to listen to the L and R channels seperately. Is it possible however, to isolate just the middle without the sides? So to take away the side information completely and listen to what is in the middle? I do...

Re: How to get an above 100Hz kick drum sound
Your sample has at least two samples used on the bass drum and they are slightly out of time because you can hear them flamming. The original Detroit Emeralds track sounds like the low end of the bass drum has been rolled off and a low midrange boost applied. I think the boost is at a much higher f...

Re: How to get an above 100Hz kick drum sound
Looking at that file it would appear that the loop kick also has a fundamental around 60 Hz, however I think it's been high passed fairly steeply at around 100Hz, probably with an EQ boost at around 120Hz as well. THanks. As an experiment, I tried what you said but a kick with such a steep filter o...

How to get an above 100Hz kick drum sound
Here is a loop from a song where you can clearly hear the kick drum sound I am trying to get https://easyupload.io/u3pb1w I have sample libraries and virtual instruments none of which have a similar kick drum sound which I need for my productions. I have not recorded a lot of drums so not really sur...

Re: Why does the first part of my compressed kick drum still look smaller even using a longer attack time?
Can you provide some screenshots? And what compressor are you using? Sometimes the attack and release times are quite approximate (especially if modelling a hardware device). Does it have a look-ahead setting and if so, is it enabled? If it does, try disabling it. The attack curve is probably going...

Re: Why does the first part of my compressed kick drum still look smaller even using a longer attack time?
The most critical question is, does it sound different? The waveform display on most DAWs is pretty crude and I wouldn't place too much weight on the visual representation. What matters is the sound that everyone hears, not the pictures that only you see! ;-) However, some questions to try and trac...
