Hey Dana,
As I was recording this instrumental, the meter was living in the red while Sharon was on electric – felt like a bit of an outlaw 🙂
I also used the UAD compressor to tame the bass peaks – what a ball that was, I love how it helps control the track dynamically.
By the way, I’ve been using a few tricks from your thread with Paul about ducking in Pro-Q4 and got tempted to apply it almost everywhere – ducking the reverb, the bass under the kick, you name it. Am I getting too trigger-happy with it? Any downsides or alternative approaches you’d suggest?
Side note – this instrumental is my first time using the Behringer LM Drum, which was surprisingly fun. I’m actually considering picking up either their take on the 6176 or their Neve-style dual preamp console – looks like I have to return my 6176 loaner.
I’d love to hear your general thoughts on these kinds of lower-cost recreations of high-end gear – what do you think of that approach in general?
There’s no ending to this instrumental yet since I still have to write the next part!
