Ive been trying to learn to use Cubase to record with and Wavelab to master.Well I think Im getting there but some stuff I cant figure out.Like alot of the stuff I master sounds good on the pc but if I play it in my car system I get a kinda boominess(If thats a word).I soloed through each track and I think its comeing from the guitars,I did some eq'ing that I read about through the net.I also have to keep the bass guitar kinda low or I get a boom sound also.I guess a couple of questions would be what db should the masters max at,ex:-4db,-10db ect...What levels should I set the instruments to after they are recorded,should I keep them in a -10db area or what?Any other tips would be very appreciated.
Here's a link to some covers I did to try and learn cubase and wavelab.
The Enter Sandman doesnt sound right,Bell Tolls sounds ok I think as such the others.I made all the backing tracks using AD Drums,Hardcore Bass,and Lounge Lizard for the Keyboards in the interlude part of I Dont Know.I did not make the backing track for Wasted Years,got it off the net and of course I did all the guitars,I know the playing may not be all that great but I have started playing again the last few months after several years of not even touching a guitar...medical issues.Anyways sorry for the long post.Thx.
