I am recording new instrument: Destruktor: Cello Percussion (vst Kontakt plugin library) and I am exploring ways of creative cello preparation. I will post here the progress and interesting preparation techniques I am discovering!

@edthesoundman Not too loud if I play quite parts.
Not too quite if I play loud parts.

@edthesoundman Good analog can be more inspiring, but more limiting.

Good digital can be less inspiring, but more flexible.

The sound of both depends on your skills.

@edthesoundman The longer, the better.

@Ableton EQ!

I want to present our newest library...

Shhh 2: Dark Whispers

Unique cinematic library made 100% from human voice full of gibberish whispers, dark textures, epic vocal bass and pads. Also as a sample pack.

@Meltomi_PJ Depending on style! Generally no, though there are a few genres/styles that use it a lot.

[Pssst! Instruments @PssstInstrument]

@THROWEDTOBIN Oh, that's a very brave sentence ;) If you have luck and/or specific samples/genre - yep. In other cases EQ often is needed. Especially when you record samples on your own, not only use processed ones.

@natemixing Though for me it is safer to use it as a second compressor, after highest peaks are compressed ;)

[Pssst! Instruments @PssstInstrument]

@natemixing Never thought about it, good one! (K. Pietras)

[Pssst! Instruments @PssstInstrument]

@chris8995_ @natemixing For the rhythmic stuff with separated peaks

[Pssst! Instruments @PssstInstrument]

@eonpolyphonic @natemixing It depends but in most cases: no :)

[Pssst! Instruments @PssstInstrument]

@natemixing A few bars of redundant stuff on some tracks!

[Pssst! Instruments @PssstInstrument]

@natemixing Compressors! There are many genres that can live without it! And a few session musicians too ;)

[Pssst! Instruments @PssstInstrument]

@BenElliottSound :O

[Pssst! Instruments @PssstInstrument]

@MUSTDIEmusic They are actually good for those who want to learn something by analyzing them too :) (K. Pietras)

[Pssst! Instruments @PssstInstrument]

@natemixing So do I! I am glad that my ears use a quite good algorhythm during track loudness comparison ;) (K. Pietras)

@edthesoundman Funny thing: this guy Jerzy Urban was one of the biggest trolls in Polish media. He would be proud of you!

@natemixing What do you consider as "mid"? ;)
