Once both sounds are assigned to a bus track lets add some compression there so it glues these two sounds together. This will be the part where we really gel them together. Step 5: Piano + Vinyl to Bus, More Compression & EQ!įinally nearing the end of what’s to be done here! We’re going to add both the piano and vinyl tracks to a bus track to mix them together as one. We’re going to roll off to about 6kHz using a high pass filter to get rid of some of those extra high frequencies as an analog lofi piece of gear (think the Ensoniq Mirage) wouldn’t be able to gather many of those frequencies. Adding a 4db boost around 700Hz and ~6-7db boost around 4.8kHz.ĮQ post EQ might seem strange, but trust me it’s worth it! We’re going to boost the s*** out of the mids here around 10-14db gain around ~600-700Hz to really get that vinyl snapping. In the initial EQ we’re going to cut the lows to avoid muddy interaction with the piano while boosting the mid / high range. This time we’re be a bit more aggressive with the vinyl sample to get reduction around 5-7db so we really get all of the grit we need.
Next we’re going to head back to the Studio One FatChannel plugin and using the compressor and EQ again.
First thing to do is play it with the key in the piano roll to get the mix volume level right for the vinyl sample so the snap, crackle, and pop ( rice krispies?) is not overpowering the piano. Now Let’s get to the vinyl emulation! Here we’re going to use a vinyl sound sample ( link here). Step 4: Vinyl Sound Compression + 2 Sides of EQ!
We are similarly attenuating the 8kHz frequency by about the same amount. Moving over to the high end, we have the frequency set at 8kHz and are boosting that a bit more to exaggerate the highs. Again, any EQ will do the trick here so don’t feel overwhelmed if you don’t have one! All we’re doing here is giving a slight boost around 100Hz while also using attenuating the same 100Hz a little. You can learn more about passive EQs here although this is modeled off the classic Pultec EQP-1. Moving over to EQ within the channel strip, I’m using a passive EQ here just as it is my favorite type of EQ when I want to do some boost in the low end. I normally do this by adding a Level Meter plugin on the master track and reviewing the audio db level with plugin on/off. After we get that within reduction range we’re boosting the gain to match the prior audio levels for the piano. For compression we’re looking to have light reduction around 3-5db (again find a sound that suits you!). Gate, Compressor, and EQ in the same plugin), but this would 100% work using individual, standalone compressor & EQ plugins. You’ll notice here this is a channel strip (e.g. Next we’re using Studio One’s default compressor & EQ channel strip FatChannel.
