Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mastering Multi-Band Compression I'm going to be giving you the step by step formula for using multiband compression. By using this formula you'll get rid of the confusion and discover the benefits of multiband compression. This isn't another wishy-washy difficult to grasp book on mixing theory. I'm not in the camp of people who will tell you "It all depends." Well actually it does depend-- it depends on the situation. And there are only 2 situations a multiband compressor deals with: Transient Control and Volume Leveling on a per-frequency band basis. By identifying whether you need Transient Control or Volume Leveling you can then literally copy/paste any of my 17 techniques and get the sound you're after. If you know anything about my mixing philosophy then you know that I'm always aiming for 70% of my instruments to blend together and 30% of my instruments to contrast against that blended backdrop. This allows me to achieve more vibrant levels of contrast and with that 70/30 split a mix becomes increasingly more spacious and clear. This is how we create depth. We like depth. Depth is in fact the exacted result of the formulaic processes I teach. In the end mixing is art and I want the act of doing art to feel simple for you. I already went through my phase of hating presets and it only slowed down my progress. Once I realized that presets are just tutorials, my skills improved geometrically. I'm telling you this because at every level of mixing my primary goal is to simplify the process with set and forget presets. Every skilled producer/engineer I've met does this to some degree. Whether we realize it or not habitual mix decisions are in fact presets. As my students have already discovered in "The 3-Space Reverb Framework" and "The Bus Compression Masterclass," some of the most difficult parts of mixing are actually very formulaic. This means they can be replicated and repeated for consistent results across many mediums. Now in this book I'm giving you everything you need to know about multiband compression before even using it. I've then gone step by step through each of the 17 ways we use multiband compression. This means I explain exactly how to do something as well as why it works. These 17 step by step techniques will blow you away with their simplicity and effectiveness. You'll experience the types of actual results you've been needing to make those mental connections and reach the final tier of mixing. So buy your copy of Mastering Multi-Band Compression and you'll never be overwhelmed by Multiband Compression again.

Download or read book The Bus Compression Framework written by Nathan Nyquist and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-10 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if there was a simple way to give your mixes a professional sound before doing any real mixing. What if you could add instruments to a session and have them automatically sound like they belong. In The Bus Compression Framework you''re going to learn a big secret that mastering engineers keep to themselves. We''ve all had the experience of mixes sounding dull, lifeless and flat. For me this hadn''t been a problem for years, but I never really gave a second thought to how I solved it. That''s because after setting up this system I never really had to mess with it again. It wasn''t until I showed a student how to do this that I realized how powerful this system really is. I remember trying to help my student who was going through the phase of overly clean mixes. As it goes with overly clean mixes, his mixes were so clean, they were lifeless and sterile. I showed the student my bus compression setup--the exact numerical values, everything that I explain in this book. A couple days later he sent me an email with the before and after versions of his track. The difference between them was night and day. I was convinced he had gone through and remixed the entire track, but when he told me "No, all I did was use the formula you gave me, and oh ya, I cut a little from the pads," I was blown away. Now this student''s mix had been so clean that it had a glaringly digital feel to it. If the prescription wasn''t more cowbell then it was certainly going to be more additive EQ. Yet here he was following my 5-Bus setup and getting divine results and STILL feeling the need to EQ cut more from his mix. That was pretty much the moment I realized I had a pretty cool technique to share with you. By using the set and forget techniques inside the Bus Compression Framework you''ll achieve the kind of rich and vibrant analog sound we typically associate with expensive mastering. Not only will your mixes sound richer and more vibrant, but the 5-bus setup I''m going to show you will literally multiply the space and magnitude of your mixes. The Bus Compression Framework does this by using a combination of restrictive and open compression settings to create more contrast within your mixes. As you increase the amount of contrast in your mixes you get increasing levels of perceived depth. But like anything, if you utilize too much contrast you''ll end up with a poorly balanced mix that sounds all over the place. What''s awesome about this technique is that it''s a step by step formula for guaranteeing your mix has a professional sound. Now not all mixing is formulaic, but my students have said that the formulaic techniques in this book coupled with The 3-Space Reverb Framework literally upgraded the sound of their mixes by leaps and bounds. Not only will your mixes become more expansive but instruments will play together like they were meant to. Now when I say this technique gives your mixes a perfectly analog sound I mean all the benefits of analog. That means you get the organically pleasing sound of analog while avoiding the pitfalls of emulating analog within a DAW. It''s easy to tell when people fail at emulating analog. Their mixes are too colored, overly murky and they lack detail because they''ve used too much saturation. If you keep adding harmonics everywhere then they''ll eventually clog up your mix. As you read this book, I''ll be showing you how to infuse your mixes with analog richness while also maintaining the type of clarity expected from modern recordings. By using The Bus Compression Framework your mixes will naturally come together. Mixing will feel much more organic and you''ll actually have fun mixing instead of feeling like you''re solving problem after problem. Now if you want an immediately professional, radio ready sound, then pick up your copy of The Bus Compression Framework.
Download or read book The 3 Space Reverb Framework written by Nathan Nyquist and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverb is one of the most important processors to know how to use. It's responsible for creating the entire perception of space in a mix. Without the organic sound of reverb, mixes would sound flat and lifeless. When I first started using reverb, I had no idea what I was doing. There were tons of presets to flip through, and I felt like I had to tweak everything about them. This led to lots of confusion and I ended up using reverb too much, or just avoiding it because I just wasn't confident I'd get what I was after. It took me years to discover the correct way to use reverb and the 3-Space Reverb Framework is the result of that. This reverb framework is deceptively simple and it works because it's the answer to how and why we use multiple reverbs in a mix. It's the answer to how we configure reverbs together. The framework tells us that different reverb types take up different amounts of mix real-estate. Once we know how to manage our mixing real-estate with reverb then it becomes much easier to achieve bigger, cleaner sounding mixes. This book will help you learn how to use reverb so that your mixes become more detailed. It will help you learn exactly how to combine reverbs together, and most importantly it will help you effectively shape and create the environment of your mix so that it sounds exactly the way you want.

This book was released on 2013-11-09 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We started our work on theoretical methods in the phys ics of high pressures (in connec tion with geophysical applications) in 1956, and we immediately encountered many problems. Naturally, we searched the published Iiterature for solutions to these problems but whenever we failed to find a solution or when the solution did not satisfy us, we attempted to solve the problern ourselves. We realized that other investigators working in the physics of high pres sures would probably encounter the same problems and doubts. Therefore, we decided to write this book in order to save our colleagues time and effort. Apart from the descriptions of ex perimental methods, the book deals only with those problems which we encountered in our own work. Allproblems in high-pressure physics have, at present, only approximate solutions, which are very rough. Therefore, it is not surprising that different investigators approach the same problems in different ways. Our approach does not prejudge the issue and we are fully aware that there are other points of view. Our aim was always to solve a glven problern on a physical basis. For example, the concept of the Grüneisenparameter needs further develop ment but it is based on reliable physical ideas. On the other hand, Simon's equation for the melting curve has, in our opinion, no clear physical basis and is purely empirical. Equations of this type are useful in systematic presentation of the experimental material but they are un suitable for any major extrapolation.

Download or read book The Nuclear Equation of State written by Walter Greiner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NATO Advanced Study Institute on The Nuclear Equatioo of State was held at Peiiiscola Spain from May 22- June 3, 1989. The school was devoted to the advances, theoretical and experimental, made during the past fifteen years in the physics of nuclear matter under extreme conditions, such as high compression and high temperature. Moie than 300 people had applied for participatio- this demonstrates the tremendous interest in the various subjects presented at the school. Indeed, the topic of this school, namely the Nuclear Equatioo of State, • plays the central role in high energy heavy ion collisions; • contains the intriguing possibilities of various phase transitions (gas - vapor, meson condensation, quark - gluon plasma); • plays an important role in the static and dynamical behavior of stars, especially in supernova explosions and in neutron star stability. The investigation on the nuclear equation of state can only be accomplished in the laboratory by compressing and heating up nuclear matter and the only mechanism known to date to achieve this goal is through shock compression and -heating in violent high energy heavy ion collisions. This key mechanism has been proposed and highly disputed in of high energy heavy ion physics, the early 70's. It plays a central role in the whole field and particularly in our discussions during the two weeks at Peiiiscola.
