Hello everyone

I just registered to thank yep and smurf and the other contributors for this golden thread. I'm only up to page 41 though, but the first few pages is the key. Common sense which I forgot for so long.

I want to mainly thank yep. Your fundamental approach is truly eye (ear) opening. My music and productions thereof have improved massively because of this.

-Make sure the music you're playing is worth recording first of all (not talking about recording a long experimental take etc)
-Record the best performance of it whether it be a vocal piece, drums, a guitar or a VST synth, the latter being most applicable to me
-LISTEN

I cannot thank you enough.

EDIT: I love EQ shaping across the board now. It makes me think of a sculpture - you take away from the material to show your creation. How wonderful! You create dynamics in exactly the same way with mixing. Defining your "sculpture" by chipping away at superfluous frequencies.
