Some instruments are out of balance, even with the same dynamic marking in score When you find yourself adding unusual dynamic markings (“pppp” when everybody else is “mf”) in an attempt to balance the instruments in a score, it’s time to revisit your “starting” balance. Start by opening Window>Mixer, and get basic levels with the faders. Mix issues with Finale default settings First stop – Mixer Window Let’s take a look at how to address common problems you may encounter, and create the best possible mix in Finale. For those working on larger scores in pursuit of the best possible quality, however, the defaults might not work well. For more information on setup for these libraries, see this article on the Scoring Notes blog: “ Getting Started in Finale with Garritan’s Premium Libraries ”). Midi/Audio>Play Finale Through Audio Units should be selected in order to activate Garritan Instruments for Finale (or Garritan’s premium libraries. For the majority of users, the default settings are adequate.

Nothing on the board is hiring red, and yet I can hear a crackling sound. I CANNOT for the life of me isolate the frequency. I THINK there's something around 645Hz, and again around 4K, but that's it. I thought it might be my monitors, or cans. I'm doing SOMETHING badly wrong with a combo of EQ and compression, coz I've just begin to notice if I sometimes don't bother putting ANY EQ on a track (especially if it's something like Spitfire's Strings) I avoid the crackling. I'm becoming aware that there are certain gain levels for things like Choirs above which I cannot go, because this crackling happens again. ![]() So the mix has to come down to that level. I'm getting better at it, and oddly things like Sonnox's D'essers - for some reason - CAN occasionally help. They can also make things much worse, so I have to be careful about what I'm doing! Grateful for any advice! SRĬlick to expand.Hey. I was working, using Ethera EVI, from (think it's Big Fish) - LOVE this particular vocal software, because it sounds SO natural and when I use it, it gives me all sorts of new ideas for hooks, vocal riffs etc. And sure enough - that crackling WAS there, but now I look out for it, and I discovered that if I slice that chunk as you can see in the EQ - THAT'S where the problem lies - at least in this instance. I checked how I was running Logic last night, (and btw I'm using an Apollo Twin Core Duo (Thunderbolt) as Audio Interface). I'm at 48K, which is great - I try to do everything these days in 48K. 96K for me is just a "bright" 48K!! I dont know how to check whether I'm running in 32bit or 24bit. ![]() This is a relatively (for me at least) new iMac, late 2012, spec in the pix. If you can tell me how to check that, I'd be grateful.ĪLSO - it would be good top be able to set the iMac DEFAULT in that case at 48K and 32 bit. I can tweak things after the fact, by for example using Audition - which I've used for years as a Mastering hub, although gotta say that DSP-Quattro IS fanastic!Īnd Stefano and the guys there those wonderful type of Italians who just demonstrate to the rest of "il bel casino" (the beautiful mess) how it SHOULD be done! Ie don't sit on your ass and expect a corrupt Gov t to make your lives any better any time soon. Call me!!! You'll see what I mean by "Il bel casino!!!" Anyone who doesnt know what I'm talking about - take a trip BY TRAIN from to Napoli, and when you get through the doors of the central station in Napoli. I never worked with Logic but after a short research I found out that it seems to work with 32bit FP internally, which would prevent all channels' input from clipping. You can only choose between 16 and 24bit recording (Logic Pro X -> Preferences -> Audio -> Devices: check or uncheck 24-Bit Recording).īut as long as you don't record the plugin this is of no importance in this matter. The EQ settings you posted can't possibly clip anything since you applied only cuts and therefore lowered the energy (btw, the output is set to -2 although you're only cutting.). If you have access to a third party digital EQ, copy the settings and see/hear if the clipping is gone. If Logic's EQ clips and the third party EQ doesn't, this could be a hint to a bug in Logic's EQ.
