Hey, all!
I've been recording crappy songs for a few years now but finally decided to try using a real program to mix a song with. I downloaded the 60 day trial of Reaper and I am definitely going to buy it. I wanted to post up the rough mix of my a song I'm working on. I've been playing with this for about a week but and shown a few friends but I could use some objective feedback.
I recorded guitars clean and used Line 6 Pod Farm 2 VSTs for tone. I have lead on the left at 100% and 70%, rhythm on the right at 100% and 70% as well. I've never used an EQ before but I set a low shelf at 350, high at 15000 and some mids at 750. Bass is pretty much a straight recording, I haven't done anything to it aside from bumping the volume up to be more audible. I think I may need to try a compressor on the bass during the breakdown as it gets a little dynamic or maybe I'll just re-record that part.
No drums or vocals yet, sorry I know that'll take away from some feedback.
Let me know what you think guys!
