One word. Money. In four words: Money in the Bank. I like it. Tight performance, exceptional mix. Well done.
Thanx alot man. Which bank are you talking about exactly, because I know it ain't mine.
Great mix, love the snare sound
Thank you. I'm glad the sanre seems to be working for most poeple listening. I probably just have to get used to a sound I'm not used to hearing in my songs.
Sounds great as always. What kind of mic do you use on the snare? I ask because I've been doing a lot of experimenting as of late with different snare mics.
Thanx Track. I had to go check what I have on my snare. It's Audio Technica ATM 63HE.
I think I bought it about 15 years ago for about $40. A few months back, I did an experiment with my 3 SM57's, a Shure PG48, and this Audio Technica ATM 63HE. The ATM sounded the best for the snare, and the PG48 sounded the best on my guitar cab. They're both really cheap mics and they both sounded better than my 3 57's.
This isn't an anti-endorsement on 57's or anything. Just really surprised that the 2 other mics sounded better on everything.
I mic the snare bu pointing the mic straight down about 2 inches in from the rim. The mic is literally pointing at the floor (well, it's pointing at the drum, but it's pointing straight down at the skin). I've always done it that way, and any time I've tried to change to a more traditional position, like 45 degrees and more at the center of the drum, I never got something I like.
woah, huge sound! personally I would take the snare down a peg or two, I think it fights with the vocal a bit. Other than that, great job RAMI!
Thanx Terra. Yeah, I re-mixed it with the sanre deliberately a lot louder so that everyone can make a judgement on the sound of it. I'll bring it down about 2db and I still think it will be loud enough.
Listening to the new mix on crappy earbuds, and dude... I *LOVE* the snare sound. Perfect in the mix. Pops, but doesn't cover anything up. Full of definition and attitude. So, where do I buy this song?
Thanx a lot Poet. I've pretty much given up on the music "business", as far as my recordings are concerned. I do it for the love of it. I do have my songs for sale on my site, but it's a "choose a price" thing, so people can pay what they want, or download it for free if they choose.
Thanx a lot everyone!!!
