>All,
I have finished that mix I posted earlier.
I incorporated a few dbs on the lead vox, a touch of the highs on th guitars
and few other minor things.
No there is one major thing that is annoying the h@ll out of me.
I dont know if you can hear it on the MP3s I posted , but there is noticable
distortion on the loud parts of the lead vocal.
I dont hear these on my mixing monitors during playback.
I thought it was the Antares Tube plug which I removed completely. That was
not it. I finally thru a limiter on the lead vox channel and also on the
vox FX channel just for good measure. I backed off of the threshold on the
main bus limiter by 2 db. It was set at -18 I took it to -16. You can see
my mix was not very hot. This got rid of 75% of the problem. Now I hear little
artifacts on the lead vox that sound like processing artifacts to me. I am
wondering if SIR is doing this?? It is not wrapped. To mixdown I use the
EXPORT in CUBASE SX3. Could it be somethng related to that method? Any ideas?
Thanks BDo you have Autotune on the lead vox? I have found that plug to have
NO headroom...

Main Bus Chain is:

see a little spike on the waveform. If that's the case, then
you need to edit those tiny sections somehow, if it's not, then
start your processing with one plugin at a time until you hear
it, then you'll know what's causing it (if it's a plugin).
They're happeneing in the same places every time, right?
That's all I can think of - Apart from the fact that you're
absolutely psycho to be using three L2's in a row on a piece of
this nature - lol! Are you perhaps clipping things that are
already clipped, then clipping those clipped clips one last
time before it hits your ears?

>Neil,
I just put those L2s to be sure nothing was clipping.
The thresholds are at Zero and the output is -2db.
The problem is I dont hear it on my system. I hear it
on my portable CD player with my AKG headphones.
You dont hear it on a boombox or home stereo or car stereo.
The source material is not clipped I am sure.
Could this be a buffer setting that is screwing my export up?
thx

>>If you have Cool Edit Pro, Adobe Audition or something similar, you can try
what Neil said to see if something is clipping to hard some places on single
instruments. You can for the most fix bad clippings in those programs. To
many plugins can also do strange things on the sound, if it's on single
instruments or whole mix, so be sure you have these things under control
too. Be sure the plugins in serial don't get too hot signal anywhere on its
way out. It will not help if L2 are first with -2 db output, if a second
plugin are boosting the sound up too high before a third plugin get the
signal from the second one.
