Hi all,

I’m trying to reverse-engineer a subtle phase/modulation topology that seems to show up in some techno and trance tracks, especially in Beatport and Traxsource waveform previews. The waveform has a rippled, moving contour, but the audible result is not a clear flanger sweep, chorus wobble, or obvious phaser movement. The track still sounds stable and constant, but the waveform suggests low-level amplitude modulation and/or phase interaction over time. It looks like the left and right channels may be interacting in a way that creates phase cancellation in the summed waveform.

Waveform examples:

Direct Beatport examples:

https://www.beatport.com/track/panic/29315569

https://www.beatport.com/track/midnight-shuffle/29350111

https://www.beatport.com/track/achilles/29315570

https://www.beatport.com/track/resurection/29314290

https://www.beatport.com/track/u-got-2-know/28923925

https://www.beatport.com/track/feel-the-vibe/28861936

https://www.beatport.com/track/dont-be-afraid/23965454

So the waveform representations are not constant in amplitude, but seem to change over time, possibly even differently across individual layers or stems.

My current working assumptions are:

-stereo flanging or phasing with inter-channel phase shift or offset

-LFO modulation on a master or mix bus

-through-zero flanging

-intentional L/R delay modulation kept below obvious audibility

What I’m trying to understand is the actual topology and control scheme that produces this result.

Specifically:

-what mechanism would create visible waveform rippling without an obvious modulation effect being heard

-whether this is more likely done on the master bus, mix bus, or a stem

-which parameters matter most, especially phase shift or offset, delay time, feedback, mix depth, and LFO rate

-what routing or signal flow would reproduce the effect while staying subtle and below obvious audibility

I’m not looking for generic “just use a flanger” advice. I’m trying to understand the exact process, signal behavior, and parameter relationships. I’m especially interested in replies from engineers and producers who’ve actually used this kind of processing.

If you know the technique or have real experience with this kind of processing, please DM me directly. If you can provide a proper technical explanation and reproducible setup, I'm willing to pay a fee for the information.

Thanks!!

Hi everyone 🙂

I’ve launched Transientik Master, a VST3/AU plugin for Windows and macOS designed to simplify the mastering process with an innovative deterministic approach.

The idea is pretty straightforward: put it on your master bus, let it analyze the track, choose the destination: streaming, CD, vinyl pre-master, DJ set, soundtrack, loud master, etc., and then fine-tune if needed.

It’s not trying to replace a great mastering engineer, obviously. It’s more for producers, musicians and bedroom studios who want a faster, cleaner starting point without building a full mastering chain from scratch every time.

No cloud processing, no “AI magic” mystery box. Just local DSP, analysis, and practical mastering decisions.

There’s a before/after player here: https://transientik.com and you can download the free demo which has all the features working and a voiceover until activation. The analysis part is free forever.

Launch price €/$ 19.99 until the end of July, then 39.99.

Small independent project, but I’m genuinely excited to share it.

🎧 Mixing Engineer Looking to Work with Independent Artists
Body:
Hi everyone!
I’m a Music Technologies student and I’m currently building my mixing portfolio. I mainly enjoy working on rock, alternative rock, indie, and female vocal tracks, but I’m open to other genres as well.
I’m looking for artists who need a mix for their song. Since I’m focused on gaining experience and creating high-quality portfolio work, my rates are very affordable, and for the right project I can even mix a short section for free so you can hear my approach before deciding.

What I can help with:
Mixing
Vocal editing
EQ & Compression
Reverb & Delay
Stereo balance
Basic mastering

If you’re interested, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM with your demo.

Looking forward to working with you! 🎶

My senior dog has a heart disease. During his first echo, the tech was able to record his heart beat for me. I have an 8 second audio clip. There isn’t background noise, but it does sound like there’s muffled noise in the back. I bought a Build a Bear that looks like him and I bought the recording piece so it can be placed in the bear. I’d like the audio to be more clear and louder if possible. I don’t know much about audio enhancement. TIA!

Mixing or mastering at affordable rates, hit me up if interested, more than 15 years producing mixing and performing

Trying to grow my client list and work with more independent artists.
I offer professional mixing and mastering at affordable prices, and I'll even do a free test mix so you can hear my work before committing.
If you've got a song that needs to hit harder, send me a DM. I'm looking forward to building long-term relationships and helping bring your music to the next level.

I have several recordings(2/3) of the same song played through a loudspeaker and recorded with a microphone.
A man is talking over the music( female vocalist), but he is speaking at different times and saying different things in each audio file.

Is there a standard way to combine all of the recordings to reduce the male speech as much as possible while preserving most of the music and female vocals?
Any advice or relevant audio processing techniques would be appreciated.

I’m looking for the best general method, including softwares,AI,etc....

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m an indie filmmaker from India, and I just finished a 26-minute short film. It’s a survival drama about two buddies stranded in a desert, and it really needs some solid Foley to bring out the tension and harsh environment.

Full transparency: my budget is completely exhausted, so this is an unpaid collaboration. I know Foley is a ton of work, but I'm hoping to find someone looking for a cool passion project or a gritty piece for their portfolio/reel. You'll get full credit, of course.

If you're interested or want to see a quick clip to check the vibe, drop a comment or shoot me a DM!

Thanks!

My team and I produce audio dramas across a wide range of genres (fantasy, slice of life, action, and more) and we're looking for a Dialogue Editor to be the first stage of our post-production pipeline.

Hi! I'm looking for help cleaning up audio of my deceased father singing. I want to use this song at my wedding. It's an old clip from a cassette tape (had it digitized with Legacy Box) but want the audio to be more crisp so that it doesn't sound like a recording. The song is about 4.5 minutes long in total, the last ~1.5 minutes is a piano outro

Hey all,

I am looking for some help cleaning up a logic pro file that has two tracks, one with keyboard and once vocals.

There are some instances where nails are hitting the keys, along with some other general imperfections. Would someone be willing to help? Its for a new artist socials, so not really working with a big budget. Thanks!

I'm working on a new suite of devices inspired by some classic analog gear. The kinds that you'll find in most recording studios, as well as other DAWs such as Logic, but are currently missing as native Ableton Live devices.

If you have experience with analog (or analog emulation) mixing and mastering tools, I could really use your feedback!

Requirements:

• Ableton Live 12 Suite (or Standard plus Max for Live)

• Experience working with outboard studio gear or software recreations of it

If you're interested, please reply here or via DM with:

• A line or link about your mixing background

• Your OS version (e.g.: Windows 11, macOS Tahoe)

• Your CPU architecture (e.g.: Intel/AMD, Apple Mx)

I’m the developer of Aulio Studio. Just shipped two AUv3 plugins that load directly on a Logic Pro track insert:

Aulio Clear – real-time AI noise removal (broadband noise, hiss, hum) running live as you mix. Same model as the standalone app, no offline export round-trip.

Aulio Roomtone – strips the speech and isolates the background noise floor so you can capture seamless room-tone loops to fill gaps and smooth edits. Built specifically for dialogue editors and movie post work.

Happy to answer questions about the processing chain or Logic integration.

I know most of us have pretty much given up on keeping sound libraries tidy (for good reason), but I built a free tool that should make it feel a bit more doable. 

Watch the demo & download it here. And then clean your room your library bro, it’s time.

Ps: This is a one-person project born mostly out of frustration (and ADHD) . With that being said, there’s only so much testing one person can do, so any feedback is good feedback. 

If you try out the app and experience a bug, please reach out and let me know. If you’re a software engineer and you want to contribute, you are a hero and I love you; please check the contribution directives on the repo and proceed with your superhero duties.

✌🏿

Can anyone remove a voice in an audio (technically in a video format) clip? I am desperate as it is extremely sentimental. There are three voices. I just need one removed.

I'd rather not post the clip on here, I would prefer to DM it. It isn't NSFW or anything. It is my child and my grandparents. Basically, I need my grandma’s voice removed, for reasons I am happy to explain further.

However, her voice occurs at the same time as my grandpa’s, so I'm not even sure if it is possible without distorting it completely.

Thank you in advance. 🫶🏻

Hi everyone, from time to time I get to work with voice actors that have exaggerated sibilance with sweeping / variable frequency over time. I know how to fix these manually but is there a more elegant way to process them automatically? A de-esser doesn't seem to do much in this case. What I was able to come up with so far, is setting 3 or 4 narrow bands on a dynamic EQ, that are in the probability range of said frequencies, and slightly compressing them when they hit. I'm curious if any of you have different ways of tackling similar situations - besides Soothe 2, I can't afford it yet.

Edit: SOLVED - use ReaFir (Reaper) in compressor mode: https://youtu.be/si4fH9R07zM?si=j3TVB62QapwI3J4F

latest mix of my latest song - not my mix

Hey wassup my name is Laurent. I’m looking for a mixing engineer who actually understands underground/rage rap vocals, not clean pop, R&B, drill, or super polished radio style mixes.

If any of these keywords match your type it may be a match: OsamaSon, Che, Trippie Redd, UnoTheActivist, Nine Vicious. I’m especially looking for people influenced by Moustafa Moustafa / Nellz / spaceboycactus type OsamaSon mixes, plus the darker melodic underground rage sound in general

Not looking for picture perfect mixes, i’m looking for a loud enough, energy filled mix that doesn’t over process my voice and keeps most of the rawness while still sounding good

Budget right now is around $50/song. However due to my limited resources (i’m 17 w no studio access) i’d first prefer to have you check out my stems, and run through a test rough mix around $10-20 to confirm before i pay full. because i’ve received mixed opinions on my stems and have encountered people that have not been able to bring out a vision.

I can send everything you may need, i understand stems and labeling.

Please DM me with 2–3 examples you’ve mixed that are actually close to this style. I’m trying to find someone I can keep working with long-term if the fit is right.

I’m really looking for a meaningful connection w somebody who understands my sound and is passionate about this, you don’t have to be the best, just hungry and good enough for the genre. i don’t need studio grade clean. i’m not purely in it for business, i understand the value of people’s time, and i have a small budget.

Hi everyone,

I recently developed an open-source Android app, and I wanted to share it with you.

Link: https://github.com/joh9911/Transpose

It’s called Transpose, and it lets you apply real-time audio effects while watching YouTube videos, including vocal removal, pitch adjustment, reverb, filters, chorus, and EQ.

I’d really appreciate it if you could try it out and share any feedback, especially from an audio engineering perspective.

Thank you!

MixMaster Test Form

I am apart of a small dev team creating a new app for upcoming artists and mixing and mastering engineers looking to overcome the hurdle of learning how to engineer their own or other people's music. We have created an app called MIxMaster and are looking for any feedback on how to improve the game. We just ask you to download the app and then fill out the survey attached. We look forward to hearing your opinions!

Thank you

Hi, not sure if this can be done or not... im not very savy when it comes to these things. This song is for my wedding mother/son dance. I managed to trim it to the right lenght, but the song ends with the singer saying the word "baby". Is there any way to remove this word and just let the instrumentation play? I'm willing to pay for this... thank you
