IProphet works with the Prophet VS section of our award-winning Prophet V software. Simply export presets from iProphet by connecting iTunes and just drag and drop the mypresets file. To get your Prophet V presets into iProphet, simply export a sound (make sure it is a Prophet VS sound and not Prophet 5 or Prophet Hybrid) and then go to apps. The Prophet 5 was the first totally programmable synthesizer on the market. This revolutionary synth became the basis for all other polysynths to this day. The Prophet VS was the last synth made by SCI and again it set the synth world on its ear. Its digital vector synthesis brought a new soundscape that was then carried on in products from.

I wanted to upload a comparison video for you guys to listen to. Well done Sequential!!

This video, via Vitaphone: Vision-Sound, compares the sound of the classic Sequential Prophet-5 to the Prophet-6.

With the recent announcement of the Sequential Prophet-5 rev 4, many synthesists are wondering how the classic Prophet-5 sound compares to the Prophet-6. This video demos the original Prophet-5 presets on a Prophet 5 rev3, and compares them to the recreations, created by John Bowen, on the Prophet 6.

The audio demos start at about 5:21 in.

'Help! My mix sounds like crap.'

A singer/songwriter friend emailed me that message and attached an mp3 of his mix. I gave it a listen.

Sure enough, the vocals were harsh and thin, squashed, noisy, and swamped in reverb. The overall mix was mostly mono and distant, rather than present. I asked the singer to bring his laptop over to my studio where we could work on the mix.

You might consider doing the same thing: find a good local studio and ask them to help with your mixes. Or send the tracks on CD-Rs to an experienced engineer who is willing to work on them.

One benefit of bringing your tracks to a commercial recording studio is that the studio engineers are likely to have better monitors and acoustics, making it easier to hear flaws in a mix. Plus, seasoned engineers usually can figure out what’s going on when there’s a sonic problem, and suggest some improvements. It always helps to run your mixes past another set of ears to take advantage of a new perspective.

What we heard…

My friend brought in a Mac laptop that was bundled with Apple’s GarageBand recording software. I had not used it before, but was impressed with how it made operations easy for novices. For example, it lets you adjust equalization by choosing presets like 'Bass boost', 'Clear vocals', or 'Reduce S'. A good website on using EQ in Garageband is at www.thegaragedoor.com/edit/equal.html.

Using a mini-phone to RCA-plug cable, I plugged into the sound card’s line output, and connected it to my monitor inputs. I hit Play and listened closely.

Most obvious was the unnatural sound of the vocal and guitar. I asked the singer how he recorded them. He said that he played an acoustic guitar and sang at the same time, at about 1 foot from the laptop’s built-in omnidirectional microphone. He complained of hearing noise in the recording, which was mostly from appliances in his apartment.

The mix included two identical tracks of vocal/guitar. Why? My friend thought that by copying the track, he could make it stereo and make it louder. Well, since both tracks were panned to center, they sounded mono. Even if you pan two identical tracks hard left and right, you still hear a mono signal in the center of your monitor speakers. That’s because an identical signal in both monitors creates a phantom center image, not stereo. The two channels need to contain different information to produce a stereo effect.

How about making the vocal/guitar louder by copying the track? That does increase the signal level 6 dB (almost twice as loud). But you get the same result by turning up the track’s fader by 6 dB (assuming that you’re not clipping the audio). With two identical tracks, you have to set up twice as many effects and set them the same. It’s more work and also more of a load on your computer’s CPU. I deleted the redundant track.
