While I was trying to clear some crap off my computer I decided to mix this song I recorded in January last year for what was my band. This song was going to be part of a demo we were doing. Anyway we broke up before the demo was finished and so this is the only song (out of 11 recorded) that has vocals.
Here's the track list:
Kick: Some Peavey? mic I borrowed
Snare: SM 57
Overheads: 2x Behringer C5s
Lead Guitar: Epiphone SG -> Marshal Tranny amp
Rythym Guitar: Epiphone Les Paul -> Peavy Studio Pro 112
Bass Guitar: Squire P Bass -> Woogie stack -> the Peavey mic
Vocals: AKG D880
All of this was put through my Behri' UB2442FX mixer (no fancy preamps here) and into Sonar 2.2 via my C-Port. Most of the recording for all 11 songs was done in a weekend, so it was a real rush job. I didn't have much of a chance to experiment with mic placement etc. I mixed it last week, but don't have monitors yet so it was done with my PC's speakers and headphones (I know).
The snare had this wierd click sound which I guess was caused by clipping somewhere in the recording chain, but I've tried to minimize it. Also this hasn't had any compression over the master, so it's a bit quiet.
Anyway I guess I just want comments on how it sounds considering the gear I used. Also to people like Massive Master is this mix good enough to be sent away to proper mastering, or would it not be worth the money? AND would people pay money, even a tiny bit to get recordings of this level + 1.5 years + a couple of better bits of gear? I don't want to make a bucket, just some extra cash to put towards new gear...
