Hey
If you're
reading my emails regularly, like thousands of other home studio musicians, it's because you want to make better sounding music in your home studio.
One of the best ways to make sure your mixes sound good is to keep the dynamics in check and be careful when it comes to over-compression.
Over-compression just makes everything sound dull and lifeless. And that's exactly what you should try to avoid.
I was on a super secret audio blogging ninja call earlier today with some other veteran audio engineers and Ian was there telling us how many people have been jumping on the discount price.
Anyway, I highly recommend
using the Dynameter when you're mixing and mastering because it's the easiest way to know whether your mixes are dynamic enough.
Don't worry, it's not a plug-in that scolds you for making your rock mixes hit hard and sound powerful. I can still
make plenty loud mixes that compete with anything else out there.
Even better, when my mixes are played on Spotify next to other loud-as-shit rock songs, I can rest easy knowing that my mixes have plenty of dynamics still in them, instead of them being turned down.
So, if you want some peace of
mind with knowing you can make powerful and punchy mixes that still sound dynamic, all you gotta do is put the Dynameter on your mix bus and it'll keep you in check.
