    Dean Hardtail

    Anyone have one of these? I really enjoy the guitar except I will now have to replace most the silver parts since I didn't really take as well care of them as I should have. The input jack kinda corroded or something, and green stuff is all over a lot of the electronics and bridge. This is...

    Buried Snare in Mastering

    I always get some really great mixes going on during mix down but when it comes to the mastering process I find that when I get to the final hard limiting type process (using Waves L2) I loose my snare to the background and the overall reverb levels come way up. In the past I've always just gone...

    Radio Rock / Alternative Metal

    Haven't posted here in forever... Probably not since I suggested the whole mixing contest stuff with that "Lost" song of mine... Anyways Recorded, Mixed, and Quickly Mastered by myself. I'm about to invest in some good studio monitors to better articulate everything since my current setup is a...

    Porcelain

    It's been awhile since I've been on the boards, however I noticed other people are now sorta playing off an idea I had a long time ago where other people would mix my tracks in comparison to what I had done to see if they could do better. Anyways, here is a track from my bands new album that I...

    Ibanez EDB600 Pickup Replacement

    Does anyone know anything about the EDB600 and how easy/hard it would be to take out the stock pickup's and put in some EMGs or others? I already know that there are basically no pickups from any brand that fit the same slot as the stock ones. So one, it'll either look bad, or 2 there will have...

    Groove Tubes GT-55

    Anyone have this mic, or know anything about it? I've never been able to really try any other mic that I could possibly afford (and I say that because the only other mic i've tried was in a studio that costed about 10 grand). How does this mic stand for vocals in general compared to other...

    New Rock Mix

    Let me know what you think. I thought it was sounding good, but some people are dissagreeing, so any thoughts would be apprecieated. http://www.rheniummusic.com/Rhenium-Out_Of_Me_Rough_Mix.mp3

    Software Differences?

    I'm curious how much of a difference switching from cool edit pro 2.0 to protools or other more expensive software would make as far as mixing goes? Are all the plugins much better? Like EQ and reverb and compression? I've noticed that I can only really get my self to a certain sound with cool...

    Running Away

    http://www.rheniummusic.com/RunningAway2.mp3 Its got some clicks and pops problems, my sound card is starting to crap out on me... That or my computer is just getting to slow to handle everything now. I don't know. There are also some missaligned tom hits. I guess this kinda has a tool feel to...

    Little Metal Instrumental

    I haven't posted here in awhile, but though anyone that might remember me, might want to take a listen to a recent recording. I haven't spent so much time on it, and please ignore the errors on drum playing! http://www.rheniummusic.com/redbb.mp3

    Samson Tom Mics?

    I was looking into tom mics and noticed that samson has a pack for 3 tom mics for 130 or so and was wondering if the mic's are no good. I've never really had any good experiences with cheaper equipment, so i'm turning to all of you! Let me know! Thanks Charlie

    Final Levels

    I'm taking my songs in to be mastered in about a week, however I'm sending one song in today for a test master. I have never found any infor on my one question. During mixing, what should be the highest level? Right now when I play back my mix, the levels constantly hit 0 and the little red...

    Phase problems during mixing?

    I don't know if this is a phase problem, but in all my songs it seems as if the right speaker in parts where there might just be soft guitar and bass or something soft where you can hear everything, there is a whooshing wave in and out type sound... Like a hiss waving in and out pretty fast...

    Lost

    This is the song that i posted the tracks to in the mixing thread to see if people wanted to mix it, which served the purpose of me learning some more things, but anyways: It's Alternative Metal, i kinda lost my perception in mixing today when it came time for the vocals, so i may have missed...

    Anyone like mixing?

    This might be a long shot, but would anyone like to try to mix one of my songs for me? Basically i'd give each track raw already lined up in mp3 192kbps. I really came in a rut in my mixing skills and some peoples mixes around here sound really full, and I really like them. What i'd like to...

    Evening out volumes with compression?

    I'm using a mesa triple rect. My problem is that when recording, or playing live, my distortion channel is a nice volume, but my clean channel is much lower in the mix when i switch to it, even with the master and gain and everything that could make it loud, set all the way. So i'm thinking...

    Guitar Stereo Field

    How can I get this kind of stereo effect on the guitar without getting phase issues? This sounds like its panned to the left a bit, however it also sounds wide. Its not just a solid clip panned. Any ideas? http://www.rheniummusic.com/grabthyhand.mp3

    Mellow Song, Explosive Outro

    http://www.rheniummusic.com/untitled.html I personally like the song, and so do many other people, but some people seem to have problems with how layed back it is. I thought it was a nice change for one song for me at least. As far as the mix goes... I'm very pleased with it also. Some people...

    Mix vs Master

    Does anyone have, or know of any mp3's that i might be able to download the mixdown then also the mastered version? I'd really be interested in seeing what the mixdowns sound like in comparison to the mastered versions.

    Software Recording Difference

    Would the actual sound be different if i recorded the same audio in different programs? I'm running a DBX 386 preamp with s/pdif out into an m-audio something or other sound card (forgot the name right now) Right now i'm recording in cool edit pro 2.0, and i had a person at guitar center say...
