@CountrywithT You have my sincerest condolences. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there.

@Cadillac_F1 @TommyHilfiger @SChecoPerez @ValtteriBottas Tomorrow can’t come quick enough. I’ve been ready and saving up since our city council approved building the power unit facility here last year.

@Cadillac_F1 So excited for the new season! Let’s go!

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

@ValtteriBottas @Cadillac_F1 @F1 Looking good and ready to race. Can’t wait for @Cadillac_F1 to drop some of that sweet merch on us and to see @ValtteriBottas back in the driver’s seat on the grid.

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

I can’t wait! Now we need some @Cadillac_F1 merch!

@mitchmalloy The slate headphones are killer. I tried a pair a while back. They are on my short list of gear.

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

@mitchmalloy Slate has put out a lot of impressive stuff. With plugs being as good as they are these days, it almost makes no sense to have outboard gear especially given the price of a set of pulteks, LA2As, and so on. But being old school, I still like seeing and touching real gear.

@mitchmalloy Nah man. You’re safe. She still digs rock stars with long flowing hair more than fat old dudes with a bald spot and receding hairline. 😉

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

@mitchmalloy DM received. Thank you. Sorry for the delay. Had plans with the wife this evening.

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

@mitchmalloy Me: Babe, I need to spend some more money on an eq plugin.
Wife: Don’t you think you’ve spent enough already?
Me: But babe, Mitch Malloy said it will make my mix sound better.
Wife: Yeah, but it won’t make you look like him.

At least I’m getting the plugin.🤣

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

@mitchmalloy After messing with the shelves, it seems that the shelves are as steep as the stock Logic channel and linear eq’s are capable of. I’m going to check out proQ4 tomorrow and see if it’s capable of steeper shelves. Thanks again for the tips and advice.

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

@mitchmalloy Something like this?

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

@mitchmalloy That works like a charm! I split the difference and cut 79.5 by 7 db and the mud was gone. Kick and bass now are sitting nicely in the mix. I can hear both of them clearly and they both still have punch and body without using compression or anything else. Much appreciated!

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

@mitchmalloy Will do. That may be part of my issue with the low end. I know I boosted 80 for sure trying to get more punch from the kick. I’ll pull it down a few db at a time and give it a listen.

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

@mitchmalloy I’m definitely a 70s guy. Thank you very much for the advice. I’ll give it a whirl when I get home from work. I never even considered cutting the high end. And if you ever did teach a class, I’d be in attendance for sure.

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

@mitchmalloy Your hard work shows. The mix on “The Last Song” album is amazing. Every instrument has its own room to breathe. That’s where I’m stuck at the moment. Especially with the kick and bass parts. 80 to 120 Hz, it sounds like mud. I’ll have to try reducing EQ or some shelving.

[Chris Ridgell 🇺🇸🏌️ @ChrisRidgell]

@mitchmalloy Clearmountian. Geez. Man I’m tired and need to get off the sweetwater website. Lol

[Mitch Malloy @mitchmalloy]

Mitch Malloy and his high school band Lightning rockin the reunion show cause 35 years off was enough. We are NOT trying to be Thin Lizzy we are just trying to be good and if we succeeded please either say something nice or if you are filled with hate at least be funny. And then I will block you. :>) This will never be repeated. Enjoy! @ThinLizzy_ @ClassicRock
