Tony, you are so right my friend. When I was at a really nice studio in Brooklyn a few weeks ago, the first thing I noticed that mattered was the room sound, and it was so refreshing to hear a vocal and a guitar that sounded clean again. It didn't matter so much how cool it was to see the real versions of Elysia's gear, Sta Levels, tube compressors, an SSL board, etc. The tracks I heard were done with a little Apollo Twin and their 1073 plug with their Unison technology. It would have been fine on any system anywhere.
I was just looking at some simple room treatment last week, and now I KNOW just how much I need them. The confidence I need to mix is definitely shaken. There's just no way to compensate by ear when it's this far off.
Thanks for that tip Matt. I was thinking about that, and I probably would have done both the bass boost and vocal lowering at the same time, but I'll try it in two steps like you mentioned. I'd rather get it right once slowly than wrong a dozen times.

Will do, thanks Wiz.
I was thinking of getting some wall treatments that can be hung with velcro, and just taking them down when I'm off duty.

I use mic stands put up in a "T" shape and hang 4' by 2' acoustic panel off it (acosutisorb) wrapped in a nice sarong. I use these as portable gobos.. light, cheap, effective.. three of my favourite words... 8) cheers Wiz |

I ran some new mixes today, I think I've got it dialed in nicely, went to bounce, and I'm getting audio dropouts. I deleted every possible extra source of DSP power, and this mix doesn't seem to have any more instances of anything than usual.
Frustrating, as this is new, and has never happened before. The mix I ran and save just before the one I like works fine, they're essentially the same, but with different editing, arraign..

Save the project out to a new directory (copy audio files ) and try that. IIRC that worked for me (Logic Pro X) cheers Wiz |

Try this, if you're on a mac, save, closeout all applications, repair disk permissions, restart, repair disk permissions again, restart, open only your daw program and try again.
good luck, we're all counting on you

Tried everything, not good. It's as if my computer lost dsp power, even though I didn't change a thing from yesterday.
Will see if Apple can help tomorrow.
