Hey everybody,

So I recently started working in a studio and sometimes see recording engineers and artists have the sm58 lips close while recording. I was wondering how the mouth/air sounds in some sessions destroy recordings and in others sound full and clean even before I dive in their mixes or clean the takes up?

My solo experimental experiences have been always messed up with plosives and harsh *Hs* all through.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Hey everyone, what do you think about mixing into a mixbus? I was always one that thought that a mix should sound as good as it can before having a slight mixbus enhancement that would help mastering sound cleaner and transparent. But lately, I have started to mix into a mixbus from the beginning (mainly some ProQ4, light soothe3, Capitol Compressor, and ATR102) and I honestly feel like I’ll never go back. It really helps me have a stronger direction or feel for the mix. What do you think about this? Also, if you use a mixbus, what do you usually have on it and what’s your goal with it?

Hey there!

Mixing engineer over here asked to step out of my expertise and master an album for a client. I can get a professional loud master done but it takes me a huge chain to do and very dependent on each song. Not sure if that’s normal for mastering engineers.

What tips do yall have or any plugins you know that would help?
