Hi Eileen Hi J Wyvern
I do not want to use compression when making recording for Cubase.
I always import a flat song into Cubase up to now and compression comes later
I am very close now with all the ups and downs along the way and any other Cubase 12 owner out there, i would appreciate your views
I know you record and enjoy the moment on the Genos which is great.
I have nearly got to where i am almost satisfied , but little things keep me wondering.
What i am really getting at is why do we have to turn the Genos volume up to 20past the hour to get anywhere near a match for Cubase 12.
I always have to up the decibels to even get to a pre mix standard of 18 Luf's.
Cubase 12 has pre-gain channels for each track and that is how you crank it up to the mix level or stereo input channel if everything is almost where you want it.
Midi is midi and there is no pre gain for it as it is information and when it comes to recording each track to wave , the Genos has to be whacked up to nearl full round the volume knob.
It is just getting the right signal in without creating a noise floorYou can record on the Genos , but to me it never comes out what you expect when you try on a stereo Hi- Fi, car, etc.
I remember with the Tyros 5 making a recording, but it always needed attention in Audacity like limiting and then boosting the volume.
I personally want to get my recordings near as possible and i am not to far away. It is just the little nuances now that make the difference.
Eileen said that my recordings sounded a little harsh and i appreciate the criticism as that is what i ask for. I always value critisism as it drives you onwards.
It is those things that have to be addressed to get warmth in the music and have to look into those mids, lower mids etc.
I am now getting the hang of multiband compressors and Izotope Ozone 9 is a big learn curve to master the insides of each module.
Al the Fun of the Fair!!!
