    Really struggling with acoustic guitar mixing

    Hi, I'm trying to do a super simple 2 track song, vox & acoustic guitar, but I'll be damned if I can get the guitar to sound 'correct'. I've recorded the guitar best that I can - 2 seperate tracks, 2 Rode M5 Cardioid Condenser mics (one aimed at the neck, the other at the body) etc, but it...

    Have a listen if you want to .......

    Thanks. It's been something that I've been playing around with for a while - basically just watching a load of youtube videos and trying various techniques. I was trying to 'keep the listener engaged by changing things up/down regularly' which is why there is quite a lot of 'ear candy' on it -...

    Have a listen if you want to .......

    Yeah, I totally agree with that. If I ever thought that I was going to make anything of my music I'd probably go back to change it - but shssssssh, I can't really be bothered to do it at the moment. I'll definitely try and concentrate more on sounds drowning my voice in the next song, try and...

    Have a listen if you want to .......

    Hi all, I've been working on a song for the past couple of months, it's been at about 80% complete for ages now, and I finally got around to quickly mixing and mastering it last night so that I can move forward. Would be great to get some feedback - positive and negative as it's always good to...

    A couple of my latest tracks if you're interested

    I've been trying something different recently - picking up an acapella, choosing a style, and trying to produce a piece of music to fit that genre. To be fair, it's super fun to do, very time consuming, but I can loose hours and hours. Anyway - The wife suggested 'Justin Bieber' as a genre...

    Highway 95

    Thanks for taking the time to take a listen. Even more thanks for the constructive criticism which I will take on board for my next track.

    Highway 95

    Hi, Sorry for posting an influx of songs, but I've just upgraded my SoundCloud account so now I can finally finish off, and subsequently post, some songs that I've had laying around unfinished as it's allowed me more space. Anyway, here's my new track Highway 95. Hopefully a few people will...

    Finally finished this track I had laying around.

    Thanks, incidentally I 100% completely disagree with both the points that you make above. yeah, that's never going to happen. Why would I re-record the guitar once the track is already finished :) It's done, move on. Glad you find the crackling a distraction - at least it causes people to...

    I new track this weekend - Where I Wanna Be

    no deal - record static, to give it some atmosphere - plus it was recorded with an old mic so there was background noise that I didn't want

    Finally finished this track I had laying around.

    Decided to be the Noel Gallagher on this track and let someone else be the Liam, so I just worked away with my guitar in the background to get it right. https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/Pk7xedkJm6NyCLjy5

    I new track this weekend - Where I Wanna Be

    Found myself with some spare time over the weekend so tried (.... and nearly managed, maybe) to do something with an old acapella I had laying around from years ago. It was pretty fun making this as it was the first time working around just some random vox (which also needed sorting out all...

    Sorry, another how can I improve thread.

    There are a number of 'F' words in this song, just letting you know I had a bit of spare time, if there is such a thing, so thought that I'd try something out of my comfort zone and go off in a completely different direction To be fair I have absolutely no idea how to mix/master a song like...
