It was done that way for a reason. I wanted to enhance the contrast between the loud and quiet sections. Sometimes similar pan positions bore me. Here's a re-upload of Wage Peace. Hopefully it's louder this time.

This is the first batch of songs I mixed for my band's upcoming album, "Civil Disobedience". I have already posted Wage Peace here before under a thread titled "Is this ready for mastering?" but this time I made some changes to the bass track so it sits a more comfortably in the mix. I've been...

Couple of notes: First, thanks guys so much for the suggestions. I've found all of it to be very informative and helpful. Next, about the guitar. I tracked the guitar by micing the amp and our guitarist always uses reverb. At that time I didn't think the amount of reverb was too wet so I...

I need a second opinion on if this mix is tight enough to be considered final. It's for my band's upcoming album which will (hopefully) be coming out at the end of February. We do a lot of reggae kinda stuff and I was really trying to bring that out in this song. Hope you guys like it.

This is another rough mix of a song that will be on my bands album. This is one of our more "regular" songs in the sense that it isn't acoustic (like the one I posted earlier). There's a couple areas in the vocal department that need to be automated but the rest is pretty well balanced...

...except this ones for real. This is an untitled track that will be apart of my bands first album, slated for release in the winter. We finished tracking most of it today and I've been itching to dive into it so I picked the easiest thing to mix and 30 minutes later I have something postable...

Not really a newbie per-se but I find I get answers more quickly in this thread. I have equipped my year-old Dell laptop with an M-Audio MobilePre 1st gen., a Frontier AlphaTrack control surface, and SONAR X1 Producer edition so I can mix my projects while I'm at college. The problem is that...

I'm callin' this a diddy because its short and sweet and easy to mix. This is a favor I'm doing for my cousin. She wants to give this song to her boyfriend for his birthday (awww). Not much to say about this since it only 2 tracks except that the guitar felt too heavy half the time but since...

I currently use a pair of these for overhead drum micing. Sometimes I think they make the crash cymbals sound pinched off. I've looked at buying a pair of AKG c451b's but they are out of my price range. Is there any pair of mics between $500 and $650 that would do well as overheads?

Haven't been around here in a while but I finally have something worth posting. These are two new songs that my band recorded about a month ago. They were tracked completely live with the exception of the sax and guitar solos and acoustic guitar on Say Hey. The only thing that I added in the...

okay so maybe you've heard it maybe you haven't but Friday by Rebecca Black has gone viral. So viral, in fact, I had a local band in the studio tracking their demo and they decided to add this to the mix. They put a rock/alternative kind of spin on it but its still the same concept and lyrics...

i got a pci-424e (e for pci-e) card in my studio pc that interfaces with my motu hd 192, but every time i shut down the computer, the computer never shuts itself off. I have to go to go to the back and shut it off via the power supply switch (not cool). I was wondering if there's anyone else...

The title speaks for itself lol. I was wondering what are the "ideal" (in quotes since theres room for variation) compression ratios are for lead vocals?

I have a custom-built pc running windows 7 x86 with SONAR 8.5.3 and I've had a lot of problems with sampling issues (i.e. pops & clicks in recorded tracks). I've done the usual "increase of the buffer size" but the problem still seems to linger. I've flipped between ASIO and WDM with no...

Been a while since I posted here but I've been working on a few new tracks. 1st track is from a session of my band about 3 weeks ago. Its an original composed by our lead guitarist. (its a reggae tune, if you must know before listening) http://www.filedropper.com/againsthiswillt2mixtest4 2nd...

This cover was part of a session I did earlier 2day with my band. the mix/master was done in an hour. http://www.4shared.com/dir/XRLYKLry/sharing.html

i own a mackie control universal and the other day it started acting funny. when i went into sonar a loaded up a project, everything lit up on the console as it usually does but i noticed that the solo/mute button lights would not go off if i pressed them. i also noticed that the transport...

my dad's cover band recently did a demo for promotional purposes and i was able to get copies of all the tracks from the session. so i decide to throw a rough mix of one of the covers just to see what u guys think. note: this is a cover. hard to handle.mp3 equipment: -custom built PC w/ 2GB...

hi all, newbie here. my dad and i share a home recording studio in our basement. We have a Yamaha subwoofer that we use with a pair of Behringer B2031p's. i was wondering, though, as to how the subwoofer should be placed in relation to the monitors? or to rephrase, where is the best place to...
