Post Eq-ing Recordings?

[ChaserHUN]

Okay, so I'm trying to make a good recording tone, but I just can't get rid of some high end fizz in the recordings, EQ makes it better, but doesn't dissappear fully.

 

When we used a Profire 610 and Amplitube 3 all the fizziness were gone when cutting below 100hz and above 10khz.

 

Here is a sample

There is some nasty fizziness that I can't get rid of, and I don't know why, because I hear all these really clear recordings wit the POD HD and I wanna sound like that :D

 

Here is the EQ I used on it:

Real Tube amps have what they call sizzle when pushed really hard. The pod hd fizz resembles that sizzle to a certain degree.

Here's what comes to mind as somethings that can be done to minimize the fizz. (you don't have to do all)

 

1-Lower the gain to  point where you can still retain the same sound and feel or basically get rid of any unnecessary gains or boosts.

2-If your POD has input impedence (300 and 400 don't have that), try lower settings instead of auto, that's almost like low pass filter that cuts a lot high frequencies depending on how low you're willing to go

3-In the amp setting Max out the Bias setting all the way to the right (you'd be surprised how much of what you call fizz is gone with this). Moving the Bias to the right minimizes class AB distortion and more class A response

4-Lower the master volume as this will reduce the sizzle of power amp distortion

Or use the Mid focus EQ, has exact the results you want

My other problem is, how do oyu make your recording sound big and loud?  When I'm satisfied with the loudness it also start to go in the red zone where it says it's too loud, and there aren't any other instruments yet

[arislaf]

You must do that on the mix...Otherwise the sound will be or too much or less than expected, very difficult without the other instruments to say..

Turn your speakers/headphones up. You really never want that meter anywhere near the "red" even with a full band recording. Pushing the volume and loudness is for mastering after the mix is solid.

[ChaserHUN]

Hey but the sound is not open and brigth enoug h if it's not pushed enough :S

[Charlie_Watt]

Pushing the recording level does nothing good for your sound.  You can increase playback level to get the volume you want.  Digital recordings must NOT clip.

truth....

OK being a real noob hear, how do I set playback volume??

 

A képet a Képfeltöltés.hu tárolja. http://www.kepfeltoltes.hu

 

On the left side at the channel you can set volume of the specific track, To the rigth from the marker, that sets the whole volume, which also makes a difference in the end volume of the  mixdown.

 

How can I make my recordings powerful?

 

For example I listen to music on vol 50% in the player and 30% on the speakers and blows out the windows

But with my recordings I listen it to 100-100 and it's still not powerfull enough.

Someone please help me out a bit :D
