garybrun Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) I just recently bought myself the new I.K. Multimedia ARC Studio and believe I am hearing more details in my Focal Trio 6's. I would value your thoughts and comments. Or Sound Cloud. Thanks in advance, Gary Edited April 3 by garybrun 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daryl1968 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 lovely Gary. I haven't heard this for years - a great song. Sonically I thought it comes across well - I'll admit I'm listening on laptop speakers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Steve Thank you for the listen and comments Steve. To be honest I cant here the high end being oven done. But I'm willing to hear other opinions on that 🙂 But we all paint different pictures.

I never saw it as a dig at all mate.. honest. It may not be... you maybe correct. That's why I'm waiting for other opinions. I love all the feedback from everyone.. I never get offended by anything that's why I ask. Cheers for coming back with the feedback. All the best as always, Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Powerful vocal here. As to the top end. I am new to hearing aids. Mine hype the top end, that’s where I’m deficient. When listening to music I pull the top end down a bit. Still trying to find the “sweet spot”. My “knackered” ears felt the vocal sat nicely in the mix. But don’t take that to the “bank”. 👍 ‘s 👏 t fir some reason SC hates my iPhone. Left a like and comment, looks like the “like” registered, but not the comment.

Rikfr Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Hi Gary, just listened to Roger Whittaker's version, and this compares very well, vocal not as bright as Whittaker's, strings and brass a bit mellower on the 70's version.IMHO 😉 Rik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I'd have to hear the before and after mastering to tell but it sounds pretty good on my old Sony headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid SC… Sorry to know about that t ... at 73 and with my history I don't hear so well either... As my right lug is well low, my studio is pumped on the right to give me the same balance ... If I popped my clogs I don't think anyone would get it .. but at that point I wouldn't care LOL All the Best Steve 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bajan Blue Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Hi Gary I think this sounds good to me - i did hear a little of what Steve mentioned say after around 3 minutes, particularly on the S's- apart from that I thought this was excellent Cheers Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent this off to a professional mastering engineer to see how much difference it would make and to get a tonal profile. You can see in the images posted above.. I'm not far of his. Which I am pleased to see 🙂 The around 3 minute mark is where I believe he is trying to give ebb and flow in his master. Well done Steve and thanks for pointing it out. I really appreciate all the comments and suggestions... this is how we get better at our craft. Thanks Gary P.s. For those who are just learning mixing etc. This is a great way to learn critical listening... you can go back over peoples comments and see if you get what they are saying. Love this site.

DeeringAmps Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I’m confused Gary. Non master is your original mix? The “re-master” is the professional master? I was under the impression that the re-master was done on the ARC Studio. I would have to hear them both at the same volume, louder always wins; right? t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
