When i compress my mixes using Soundforge Wave Hammer presets, the trebles still seem very high.

I have been using the 'Mastering for 16 bit' normally. I've tried all the others but I seem to face the same problem.

When I'm mixing I make sure the mids and highs dont go pass the mid section but still the final product sounds so 'treble-intensive'

Any good mastering presets for the wavehammer?

Also, is a smooth attack/decay time better for the bass?

I'm sure there must be some of you out there who have some tried and tested presets for wave-hammering/mastering mixes.

Last Q... how many times should i compress my mix?

I know there's a thread on mastering n stuff but its more tailored to individual productions, which each is unique.

So I figured there had to be a 'generic' settings template for mixes.

Help will be very much appreciated!

the master to 16-bit preset is a compression

if your tracks are too treble heavy, you would be better fixing them in your mixdown rather than post-production

Perhaps you could try using a multiband compressor first. Then using wavehammer afterwards to give it a little bit of extra oomph.

Does Soundforge have a multiband compressor? =P

But what do u guys do when you've just recorded a mix, and want it mastered n stuff.. can you give me like a brief walkthru of the process?

cheErs!

that sounds like some rogue frequencies are being exposed by wave hammer's compressor & limiter. have a look at your frequency analysis before and after the hammer, and see if there's any abnormally high frequencies in the treble range. if so, then you'll need to pull them back before you hammer the track.

if you use the plugin chainer, you can do all that in one go.

lol ... ynot use a high cut eq before wave hammer to soften the highs down
