Writing requests that work
How to ask so False Audio changes the right track by the right amount.
Talk to it like you'd talk to an engineer sitting next to you.
Say what you hear
You don't need to know the fix.
| Instead of | Try |
|---|---|
| "EQ" | "the vocal sounds boxy" |
| "fix the guitar" | "the guitar is fighting the vocal" |
| "compress it" | "the vocal jumps out in the chorus and disappears in the verse" |
| "more reverb" | "the snare sounds too dry next to everything else" |
Name the track
"The vocal", "the kick", "Gtr L". Clear track names make this easy.
Let it listen
Play at least eight bars before asking, ideally the busiest part of the song.
Say how much
"A touch" or "slightly" for small moves. "Really" or "a lot" to go further. You can always adjust with Amount before you apply.
One thing at a time
"Brighten the vocal", then "now give it a short room", is easier to judge, and to undo, than both at once.
