As I have posted, I am mixing an EP for a band in Colorado. This is the first "close to done" track of 8 songs. The tracks I originally received were not very good, especially the drum tracks. The snare and kick had a ton of bleed from the cymbals, and it was especially annoying on the snare...

Getting pretty close to done on this one... I think. Please give me your feedback. I could not get soundcloud tag to work, so you can use this link: https://soundcloud.com/tim-villanueva-928310937/nil-12-09-2016/s-2yw8K

Yet another rookie question based on what I am intuitively discovering. As I have been experimenting with my own mastering, I have struggled most with the fact that my drum peaks are so much higher than the rest of the mix. This then triggers the limiter. What makes it worse is that the peaks...

Ok, this goes into the "new guy trying to use common sense" department. As I get more and more samples back from mastering houses that offer a free preview, I swear, they all seem to simply be EQ'd and then limited to death. While some offer a tradeoff between "loudness and quality", I wonder...

Hi all, I am interested in perspectives, especially from those of you who master for money, what you believe should be expected and not expected from a mastering expert. I once had a CD mastered about 10 years ago, and found a great guy who was willing to work with me and my very terrible...

Ok, well the latest in the noob files as I keep learning... Drum Layering. I have been working like crazy (shaping, EQ, compression, verb, etc. etc.) to try and get the poorly recorded drum tracks I have to sound much better (and before I get all the "retrack your shit" feedback - which is...

Hi again, As I keep learning new things, much from these forums, I am definitely fascinated and blown away at the depth of capabilities that experienced mixers use. (I am mixing mostly rock/alternative). I have had to do alot of re-mixing/balancing as I discover ways I fundamentally got it...

This is a song I posted many months ago. I have been working on this project (8 song album) for nearly a year, but very intermittently as sometimes feedback will be 2 or 3 months apart from the artist. In anycase, I am an amatuer, who has mixed one album before (home project), and am learning...

Forgive me for the clickbait title...:-) Per the advice on the board here about creating loud mixes, I went back to my mixes and went all OCD on the low end part of the mixes. I did not blindly put a HPF on things, but listened to every track, and then added appropriately either a HPF or a...

Tracks on this were recorded in a "home studio" and had some challenges, especially the drums. I've been listening to this for so many hours I fear I am losing perspective. I have produced 4 songs for the CD so far, this is one of them, but by far the most challenging. Lots of overlapping...
