    pay to get songs mixed or mastered?

    I have 3 songs almost recorded for my alternative quasi hardcore band (total time around 17-18 min, and about 12 tracks a song). I don't have a "real" set of monitors, but I am still semi-comfortable with mixing my music. I was wondering what you all think is more important. Sending the songs to...

    Mixing loud vocals in a soft song

    I play in a band with 2 guitars, bass, and drums. The guitar style is very slow and spacey, and to really push that fact I've panned the guitars hard left and right to their own side. We have 3 vocalists all doing their own thing, and it can be very abrasive at times (think earlier fugazi)...

    Pignose G-60VR

    I just recently joined an alt country band and I really don't want to lug around my 4x12 every time we practice. I was looking at a cheap combo that still gets pretty loud. Has anyone played the G-60VR, for 320$ it seems way to good to be true. If anyone has played one, is it made durable? Can...

    I have finished mixing 6 songs for my band's first demo to be sold for a few bucks after shows. I am happy with the mixes but would like to better them some. The only two things I'm trying to do is create a little "air" and get a good consistant level throughout the demo. This is what I'm...

    Getting vocals to stick out?

    I have a pretty good mix of my band, but it is very busy. The guitar sound I got is huge and I have horns spread across the stereo spectrum. When I record vocals they just seem so weak and far off compared to everything. I know the first thing you'll say is "get a new singer" but when I'm...

    First time recording a band that I'm not in.

    I recorded my friend's band because their singer/bassist was moving away and they wanted to get what they had written recorded. The recording was very rushed, so the performances are not error free, but I'd like to get some feedback of how well I did recording them. They were going for a kind've...

    What do you have your buffer settings set to in CEP? Specifically andyone using a delta1010, or probably and delta cards. I'm having trouble with choppy playback, and I'm not sure what buffers to change. There are about 4 different layback buffers in the options mode.

    tracks getting out of time???

    After I recorded a few songs when I went back to listen to them, they all got out of time. But tracks 1&2 are in time with each other, tracks 3&4 and so on. Is this a tell-tale sign of something that I can fix easily? I was looking in my delta1010 control panel on things that I could change, but...
