thanks! I use Art Vista Virtual Grand Piano for the piano sound, it's got lots of nice presets which I need cause i've only been playing piano for a few months so not sure what i'm doing with it all really! The drums were recorded with a load of cheap mics into a MOTU 24i, and the vocals were...

hehe thanks, will do! He'll be happy with that, he's only been playing bass for a few months, he's normally a guitar player.

Thanks for the comment, i've uploaded the mp3 files to here: http://www.brokendaylight.com/jon

Thanks very much!! I was worried the Piano sound might not be quite right. Can anyone recommend a decent sounding Piano sample library for PC? Not really sure what I should be doing with the piano sound!

Hi Was wondering of someone could give me a few tips on the mix of some songs i've been working on. Only really recorded my other band which was heavy rock so not sure what to look out for when mixing something different! Any comments would be gratefully recieved...

thanks guys :D

thanks mate! I used a Line 6 toneport for the bass, vocals, and most of the guitars, and a pod xt live for the rest of the guitars. To do the drums, I used an AKG drum mic set with some cheap behringer condensers for overheads, into a MOTU 24i

Thanks guys, some great tips there!

cheers guys, i'll work on the vocals and bass a little more

Just recorded an album with my band and am at the part I always seem to get wrong - the mixing!! I've put a couple of the tracks up and it'd be great to get some tips on things I could do to improve it: http://www.brokendaylight.com/bd cheers jon

thanks for the tips! I've not heard of Anberlin before, i'll have to check them out!! Might have another crack at mixing this weekend, see if I can take apply all the help you lot have given me!!

Yeah, we tracked them ourselves. We used guitars with seymour duncan invaders going into a pod live xt with the metal pack installed for it

Thanks for the comments, i think you're right on all of the points you've made. I'm gonna try and remix it, just for myself to get a bit more practice in, see if I can get my head around all this mixing business!! Oh, and the guitar are in drop d.

thanks for that! It was something we knocked up ourselves over various evenings when we had the time. We've been tweaking our recording and mixing techniques since then and I think we are starting to get the hang of things with the recordings we are doing since this one

Well, my band have finished recording and mixing our album, so I thought i'd shamelessly pimp it here by sticking the whole thing up in mp3 format for anyone who wants a listen. We're called Broken Daylight and the album is called "Fine Lines and Narrow Margins". Grab it here...
