What's your music style?

[Eurocide]

Many of us are talking about \"their\" EQ and \"their\" plugin settings.
But I think, that most of the opinions on using the UAD and other plugins depend on the music style you are making.
E.g.:
- acoustic recordings & rock & jazz could need those ultra-precise EQs and softer compression
- modern heavy metal needs other tweaking than 60's sound
- dance music needs to be compressed-to-f***
- electronic styles draw all the bars to get a specific effect
- a master engineer needs other tools than a mixing engineer
etc.

So, what's your style?
It should clear your taste & opinion on EQs, compressors, colorations in this forum.

To start it: my style is electronic stuff with UAD settings that let some of you stand the hair on end :twisted: - but it sounds objective right for this style (not for me only)

Opera and Symphony. I just have trouble fitting everyone in a 10' x 20' space, so I make everyone bring CD's of their virtual instruments and have them scratch in unison.

Honestly,

Rock, Americana, Blues, Psychodelia, Guitar Instrumentals

i make electronic music using hardware synths and drum machines (as much analog as possible) but mix in the box, relying heavily on the uad plugs. i know what you mean about the tendency in dance music to use a lot of compression, but i'm trying really hard to be subtle with it. not sure if it's working or not, but i keep trying. :lol:

I record/mix just about everything in my studio.

Pop/Rock
Country
Folk
Jazz
String Quartet
Hip-Hop/Rap (I'm getting into producing beat for some of my clients :lol: )

That's why I have alot of tools here both hardware and software. There really isn't one thing that works for everything.
