I have posted my latest song here:
http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=16121
I have been experimenting with different drum mic techniques and various guitar layering techniques as well for the last 4 songs. I've learned a lot in the process and now have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't. Unfortunately this is one of the songs where I think it didn't work so well...
A few things I did wrong that I will be sure to avoid in the future:
- Very close spaced pair overhead mics on the drums (the recorderman method seems to work best for my low-end kit).
- 1 of the guitar layers is slightly out of tune - something I didn't notice until later
- Too much bleed in the drum mics. This made it hard to mix properly.
- Too much gain in the original guitar track. Some additional layers seemed to help this.
Those are a few of the things I have learned just from this song. Any other comments or suggestions would be great (although I probably won't fix them, but it would be nice to know for future reference if you have any critiques.)
Thanks!
