| I have just put together a new mix cd tonight. I realized though that sometimes my mixer is dropping the volume of the L channel a little while I am using the pitch slide. I was wondering if any of you are good at mastering and would care to clean up the volume peaks and adjust the L volume in the parts that are affected since I don't know how |

sounds like you just have some beat cancellation/clashing going on. it happens sometimes when you got both songs bass levels up and the beats are slightly off making them cancel each other out, especially when u are trying to fix it with the pitch slider. it doesnt really have anything to with your mixer.
or i could be completely wrong, and if i am, forgive me :tongue2
a friend of mine masters my mixes, so i can't help you there. sorry bud.

Mike, yea, i know about bass cancellation, thats not it though. This is a problem with my mixer itself. It has a spot on the fader of one of the channels where audio is lower on one side. It's a contact problem with the slider, but I tried using contact cleaner and it didn't work. What I am probably going to do is throw it in soundforge, take the good channel (the right side) and copy it onto the left side so both have the right levels -- if you follow what I am saying. The peaks don't need much tweaking so I might just leave them alone all together.
On that note, later tonight I should have a new mix up and I will post it. I have changed up my style a little bit so I would appreciate feedback. Thanks |

Hey Dirkie, if you wanna send it my way I'll be happy to see what I can do with it. I've mastered my mixes and some others and haven't had any complaints yet.
Good to see you have a new mix comin'...can't wait to check it out. |

Well, I threw it in Soundforge and I ended up copying the channel and mirroring it so the levels are correct on both sides now. I didn't use any songs that used panning effects or anything, so it should be okay. The mix is ready to go, but I am waiting on globalbeatz to host it. I paid so I could have more mixes hosted, but I did it this afternoon and they haven't upgraded my account yet :(
I guess you will be able to hear it tomorrow or monday unless you want me to send it to any of yall via AIM or something comparable. |

You may wanna have it posted to www.teknosounds.com as well. I'm good friends with Nick there and he loves Trance. He likes hosting Texas talent and I know it will receive a good amoutn of hits. You'll have to ftp it to him, but that's it.
If you need to, signup and then let Nick know you're a friend of mine and you should be set. |
