Wanted to throw this out there to see what the consensus is with this mix. It's a song I'm already pretty serious about completing with the new techniques and equipment I have now. I'm having a hard time with a Freq. meters in Sonar with them displaying I have too much sub bass going on even...

http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=15185 It starts out real quiet and gradually builds into a very loud in-your-face rocker that's not TOO over-the top...just nice and powerful. Just giving you fair warning if you're gonna pump it up before it kicks in at :57. Just wanted to post...

I have an AMD LIVE64 based HP computer running Sonar4 Producer Edition through a Presonus Firepod. This PC has successfully been used the last two years to record numerous guitar tracks by my now ex-guitarist. Anyway, I haven't changed a thing with the system and after seeing the bazillion...

Guys/gals First, check this out: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=7123 Here is a newest mix I've made. There's a minor glitch with the intro, first verse and first chorus. Apparantly something skipped the song while I was tracking drums and it threw me off for a sec. You can...

http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=7096 Hey I was wondering what you guys think of this mix sound-wise (not necessarily performance) as this is going to get re-tracked soon. I know the beginning clean guitar part gets repetitive but the guitarist wanted in enlongated to "play"...

How exactly would I measure the decibels output of my studio monitors on the cheap using my PC, Firepod and a test measurement mic? Is there a DX or VST plugin that can run in live mode to help to accomplish this cheap or free that will tell me (without a bunch of math) what the actual Db output...

I was just wondering if anything was standing out in this mix too much or needs anything else brought up. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=2848- EDIT New song uploaded after applying changes suggested in this thread. Some recording notes: 1 MXL990 overhead behind the drums 1 Nady...

This is a technique I stumbled across called holophonic recording. Here is a test file. On headphone, at first, you hear a couple of matches are lit on both sides (simple pan or binaural micing) then a shaking of a match box. Listen to the whole thing, then, you can literally hear them being...

Hey all, first off, I'm a drummer who dabbles with guitars....bad combo, I know. I've played for about 20 years now and have noticed a few things. Anyway my guitar player and I were playing around for two hours the other day with distortion patches on my POD (which he really likes) and got me...

http://www.hohnerusa.com/pdistributioncarbo.htm Carbon fiber drumsticks. I'm always up to trying something new...anyone else ever tried these? I am a heavy rimshotter on the snare and amazingly, wood sticks last me longer than those AHEAD sticks although I absolutely love the feel of AHEADs...

...c'mon folks...who's with me on this one? I can't stand them....cryptic, esteroic menus flying everywhere dodging my mouse clicks and too much stuff going on and I have no idea how to easily navigate to the music. Whatever happened to hierarchial menus? Who else absolutely HATES these sites...

This song was recorded with a few various LDC mics laying around and recorded/processed in Protools. What would you do differently with this mix or are there any problems with it? I personally think it sounds great but any further input would also be much appreciated since I feel I'm getting too...

Hello, I'm not a full blown guitarist but I like to occasionally pick and record on my (entry-level) Mexican Fender Strat with stock single coil and humbucker pickups through a Line6 POD 2.0. Everything has been working flawlessly until recently. I've recently had a problem with the guitar...

I'm trying to find a plugin that will get me the sound of a record player being turned off or stopped at the end of a note like in the song by Metallica's "I Disappear". Does anyone know of a directx plug that does this or do I have to use a pitch shifter on the last note I want the sound on...

Hi, I've posted up here a few times in the past and I'm submitting my newest solo song called "Insane" for your ears to dissect. I was going for a Metallica meets Alice In Chains meets Deftones meets Type O Negative (all my fave bands) feel on this song. I wanted it serious-sounding like I put...

Hey everyone, I wanted to post this mix of my current band and see what you guys think. Any constructive criticisms about anything you hear will be most helpful in the future. Although I did preliminary mixing on the drums, our bassist mixed the rest of this on an Ensonq Paris. We ran into...

I just recorded and mixed this newest song for a few kids that are just getting started in recording. I just recently helped them get setup on their software and recording, so some of their efforts are up there as well. I mixed the song Forgiveness but it seems to me to sound a bit weak only...

I tracked the drums with some musicians on the below mix in N-track studio and we're going to submit this song to a local radio station taking submissions in a few days for local talent airplay so any comments about anything that sounds goofy would be appreciated. Anyone with knowledge of what...
