I am mixing an album for a local progressive rock band but the guitars seem very lack luster and lifeless. I would love some input for my tired ears. The backing drum track is a scratch track. Guitars were recorded on a Peavey amp with an SM57 & a Fathead Ribbon through a Presonus ADL600...

Hello All! I am trying to finish a CD of lullabies before my baby boy comes in August and I need some opinions on this mix. All of the songs on this album are similar so if I can get this one to it's best point then the rest will follow quickly. Any tweeks suggested would be greatly...

I am venturing into a whole new ball game of which I am completely clueless and really need some down to earth advice or info. I recently handed my self produced album to a Dean guitar store. They handed it off to a producer who works a long list of large contacts . The producer showed...

Hello Again! I just recorded this song today and wanted some opinions/critisisms, or what have you, on this song. Is the performance solid enough? Does it work as is or does it need something? You can give me mix advice too. My ears are tired from recording so I don't know what I am...

I am offering up my first collaboration experience for all to mix. I will be using this song on my upcoming CD release in June or July and will add the winning mixer's name to the credits of this song. I have posted a zip file with the raw tracks on it at NL5's place. I'm not exactly sure how...

I have been working really hard to make my mixes better. Here are a couple of songs I have been working on. Any constructive critisism would be greatly appreciated! The two songs are Little Miss Nowhere & Seasons With You. I think I've posted these songs before but would like some comments...

I have been working on this for about a week now and wanted to get some constructive critisism on the mix. I know that my stuff is not the norm here on this site but please give me some ideas on how my recording is coming along. It's the last music link on the page called "Seasons With You" in...

I have been around here for a while and have kept progressing (I think?). I have decided to start from the very beginning, AGAIN, to work on a home recorded demo CD. I have recorded the title track guitar and would love some thoughts on the sound i. e. too muddy, too dark, too bright etc. . ...

I got an early Christmas present! New Dell super fast computor, Samson Resolv 65a studio monitors and an Emu 0404 sound card. So I wanted to see if it would make a difference in my mixing. This is a guitar piece called "into the sun". I recorded this really fast but wanted to mix on my new...

I just purchased a new computor and the E-MU 1212m soundcard. I have sound on all other applications except Cakewalk. I have run diagnostics and it says everything should be ok. I have played with settings till I could scream and nothing is working. This computor is very capable of playing/...

I am posting this here and with the computor/soundcard section. I just purchased a new computer and an E-MU1212m soundcard. I have sound on other applications but hear nothing in cakewalk even though it scrolls through the sound. I have done the diagnostic and it says everything is fine...

Hey, I just got the 1212M and am trying to integrate it with my Cakewalk. I am having some popping noise issues. I have matched the sampling rates and the popping and distortion is still happening. What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking for a new sound card for my recording PC. I have seen a number of them but don't know which one would be a good investment for my home studio. I want to keep my budget below $300. I use CakewalkXL (I don't know if that makes any difference) Does anyone have a comment on the E-MU...

Just wanted to see what comments come back to me as to the mix and overall presentation of some of my songs. There are nine songs on this page, pick one or all. I am trying to put together a demo CD and want to know if I hear things the same as others do. Any comments would be welcome and...

Here I am the newby and being curious by nature I am wondering what the professionals would do with a home studio geek's attempt at recording to make it closer to their level of genius. I am providing a song that I have written and recorded called "stranger" and I would be very pleased if it...

I am using HomeStudioXL. Does anyone know if there is a way to bring the final mixed sound up to a more CD standard level?
