    vocal/horns funk tune mixing feedback

    Hey all. Tracked this tune back in December and spent a good couple months dubbing/editing/mixing. Not the entire time, of course, as we're working on other tunes. Looking for some feedback on the mix here. This is a live track minus the vocals, claps, tambourine, and organ. Drums were...

    Funk tune mixing feedback

    I'm still pretty fresh when it comes to mixing horns, so I'm looking for some feedback there. I decided to squash them a bit and put a little reverb on it. Drums Kick: Sennheiser e602 II Snare: SM57 top and bottom Hihat: MXL991 Toms: Sennheiser e609(?) OH: Rode NT5 Room: CAD M179 mono Horns...

    Mesa Boogie Lonestar Classic reverb issue

    Hi all, I was hoping someone out there would be able to help me out in fixing my reverb on my Lonestar Classic. When a guitar is plugged directly into the amp, I get no reverb. The tank is fine (tested in other amps), RCA cables are good (tried another pair of cables), and I even tried...

    How to achieve zero-latency monitoring with Firepod + HP60?

    So, I picked up a PreSonus HP60 on the Bay for cheap. However, after thinking about how to make this work, I have to send the output of my DAW (Adobe Audition 3) to the outs on the FP10, then back into the HP60. However, in doing this, I get the slightest bit of lag. My PC can't handle...

    At what point do you start (or stop) making the band sound better than they are?

    I have a dilemma. Most of my clients right now aren't the best musicians (still getting started), and I want them to be satisfied with my recordings. However, I feel that some musicians have a false sense of what it takes to make a good record, especially artists who have never been in a...

    Give it on Back, Rock Mix, come listen!

    Hi all. Wanted to post a song I recently recorded for a local act in Omaha, NE called "Crown's Folly". This is one of their "heavier" songs. The band was very pleased with this mix, but would like any input from the BBS. I have been recording for a few years now, but don't really have good...

    Pedal vs. rack compressors...and which do you use?

    I've been looking at the Boss CS-3. Not really sure what else to look for in the realm of compressors for guitar set ups. I play funk music, and after messing with the CS-3 yesterday at Guitar Center, I've realized that getting some sort of compressor would really benefit my playing. Thanks

    Lyrics Needed for Song for Class Project

    I have a project due in a few weeks. While I have the song pretty much done, I would like some 80s style glam vocals for it. The song isn't 100% complete, but it almost is. This is to give you an idea of what it sounds like. I'll be posting the final product in a couple days. Looking for...

    Bad-ass funk tune with full horn section!

    I have been recording my band the past few weeks and this is one of the tracks. Drums recorded with two MXL 991s on the toms, MXL 990s as overheads. CAD kick microphone. SM57 on the snare. Guitar on the left side was miked with a sennheiser e906. The guitar on the right side was miked with...

    Another song from a demo recorded this weekend

    Again, band came in this weekend and recorded a rough demo. Drums recorded with two LDC overhead mics and a CAD kick mick and SM57 on the snare. Didn't modify the drum EQ too terribly. Brought out the beater on the kick, cut some of the low-mids (220Hz). Rolled off the lows on the snare...

    Band came in for a demo disc...need mix opinions?

    I did a band's "demo" a few nights ago. I have mixed most of the songs, but this is only one of the three. Not sure what to classify them as...maybe grunge meets Conor Oberst. The band consists of two guitarists and a drummer. I did it for them for free to help build my clientele up. Drums...

    Subwoofer for KRK Rokit 5s? Recommendations, etc.

    Recently, I have been trying to treat my small room to help my mixing. I pulled my table away from the wall and this affected my bass response. I produce dance music as well as record bands in my house. I was looking for a good subwoofer because there is no bass in my room. I recently ran...

    Can you call it a studio without a console?

    Thoughts? I don't have one but have recorded many a great band in mine.
