i remember a few years back there was a thread about this topic..
i dont remember the question exactly but someone asked how to perhaps get that distinct sound livesets have...that live bigroom sound..hmm not sure if im wording it correctly..but im sure some of you know what im talking about
anyone have an idea?
when u pop in a liveset you can hear major difference compared to a mix you personally make...
n e help would be appreciated :)
edit...and no i dont mean livesets where u can hear the crowd.. |

| Compress the out of it and add a ton of reverb. |

| Funny, I wrote about just this in the backstory that accompanied my last mix. What kind of music are you playing? |

stereo widening, EQ, compression and feed it through a limiter at the same time.
im guilty of feeding my mixes through a compressor. irons out the levels and 'flattens' it all |

While some of the energy that comes from a recorded live DJ set may be due to post-processing, a lot of it simply comes from playing on a considerably larger setup than the one you have in your home. In order to be able to emulate the acoustics of a big room and the energy of playing in front of a crowd when recording at home, it helps a great deal to have had that particular experience. It's been my experience that a lot of it comes down to creative use of the gains and EQing while in the mix.
Of course, I can only speak for the genres I'm the most familiar with. When it comes to Trance sets, where songs tend to run their full length, I'm guessing much more of the *oomph* in the final recording is due to post-processing. Correct me if I'm wrong. |
