Yeah once I get the vocals on there I'll mess with it some more. I can still hear it's a little muffled the higher end.

Really? Cool, finally a breakthrough. Vocally, I gotta find a better singer for it. I'm a backup singer and I sound fine doing that, but singing lead, it's just not good enough for all the work I've done haha. I'll have to see if I can find someone who can do it justice vocally and then I'll...

Soundcloud makes a mess of cymbals. They don't sound like that normally. I don't even know if I'm making strides to getting right, I feel like I'm trying anything at this point. So frustrating, almost like I'm going backwards. New mix but I don't even know at this point if I'm on the right...

Ok I also took the high mids up a bit and maybe that thinned them out as well. I think I put the high pass at about the 100K range. Let me mess with the compressor attack and the eq at the range you suggested tonight and see what happens. I'm not a bass player I'm a guitar player, so for me I...

Thanks guys. It seems when I tried to bring up some of eq's of the bass it makes the pick noise more apparent. I guess I was trying to find the happy medium between making the picking noise less apparent but keep the note definition, which seems hard to do. I just have the two rhythm guitar...

All right so I'm back with another mix. I think I've made some headway now. I got the bass sounding more full, I think there's better definition now and it definitely seems to pump. I worked on the kick a little, it may beat too hard now, but compared to what I had I was happy to hear it like...

No I want you guys to ride me, I want to get this thing right. I'm a proficient musican, but I've always had to go to people to have them mix my stuff, or my band's stuff and I just want to be able to do it myself for once. I'll always half-ass it and get frustrated and say "good enough" but...

So to answer the questions. I knew the bass was off a bit in the part of the last chorus, I re-recorded that tonight and fixed that. Yes that was totally annoying. Unfortunately I'm using headphones and my Bose computer speakers, I don't have real monitors. I have to basically mix it and...

Well guys I did some more work on it and did a new mix, see what you think. I've heard it so much my ears are frying fast. :) Basically I lowered the guitars and the drums a bit, brought the bass up and adjusted the compressor. Maybe it's too much bass now. Appreciate the feedback...

Thanks guys I'm going to do a little work on it tonight. I do have a multiband compressor on the bass. Let me work on the guitars a bit Appreciate the feedback! :)

Where should I look to cut EQ, around 200K or so? Absolutely...a good song is a good song no matter what era.

I kinda thought my guitars doubled up with a lot of crunch might have been fighting the bass a bit. Wasn't sure quite how to approach it. Maybe the EQ cut is the way to go, I kinda don't want to take the crunch from them except as a last resort. It is a cool old gem, and kind of lends it...

Old 80's Tune "Ah! Leah!" - Struggling with bass sound Hi all, I heard this song on the radio last week, and figured it might be fun to mess around and make it a little harder sounding since it's such an easy song. I've done some of the vocals, but I wanted to get the mix right without them...

Hi guys, I've just been working on this original song for a bit. Yes I am using the drums from Garageband, but they actually sound pretty decent, I was surprised. Song doesn't have vocals yet so obviously it's a going to get repetitive, but I want to at least get an idea if the mix is decent...

I definitely don't want it to sound like a live recording. Do you think I probably have too much reverb on the drums? I think for me my biggest thing is I don't know how to get the drums sparkly and lively like a good rock mix, it always seems like my downfall, they just sound flat. So I...
