Hi I'm new to this group and also new to the recording studio from the
production side of things. I have a Boss 1200 CD digital recording set up at
home and do a fair job of mixing. I'm a semi-pro entertainer and know what I
like to hear. The problem I have is when it comes to the 'final' mix down
it's not good enough for radio play. I've been on the other side of the
recording studio window for many sessions but never at the console. A few
questions I would like answering are :-
1/ Is it correct to record tracks 'with' compression / expansion or
'without'.
2/ Are computer programs like Cool Edit Pro likely to generate the 'final'
mix down quality required by radio stations.
3/ If anyone is using a Boss 1180 or 1200 can they inform me of the best
recording techniques to get a radio station mix down, as the both machines
have pre-set mix down buttons that I've used but to no avail as regard to
"radio quality".
Thanks for your time in advance
G :-)
