Today I released an album on Bandcamp. Should be on iTunes and Amazon soon. I did the production, songwriting, mixing, instrumentation, singing, the whole nine yards. Thank you and enjoy... or don't. I don't know, that's up to you. https://busterofficial.bandcamp.com/

I was being sarcastic when I said nice. I'll lower the compression and repost so it breathes a little. And uh, did you get a headache from the production or because of the melody? I had nothing written down or planned, I just hummed something while listening to the guitar and recorded. I don't...

This is just a demo. I have an idea of what the rest of the song will be like. Experimented with vocal mic positioning as well as acoustic dampening. Did very little EQ in the DAW as I didn't see that it was necessary. Did put some compression in to make it nice and brickwalled. It works for...

I hope many hear the mixes I upload, but also are able to maybe even become a listener of my music. It sucks being a musician on the internet when you don't like being a corporate douchebag cause you're forced to be your own PR guy.

Seriously, this is depressing.

I hope no one sees these.

I've been finding that there are tons of free VSTs that can do what a tangible preamp/compressor like the one you linked can do. Sucky thing is that I'm on a Mac and free VSTs are hard to come by... But anyways, I personally like turning knobs and pressing physical buttons rather than doing a...

I have been mixing this song constantly since I posted this, so I'll have a new mix up here soon. Added some distortion to the vocals and lowered the volume so they sit in the mix well, and other stuff. As to uploading a mix with no effects... I could try that. Also, I've been mixing on...

Yeah, I don't know how to mix it so the vocals stand out on top. I added compression, EQ... Maybe I need to boost some high-mid frequencies for some presence? I boosted around 800Hz when EQing. I'll try boosting above 2kHz. And also, I meant for it to in a sense "explode" once all the...

Hate to bump this, sorry for being annoying. Any feedback is nice, thanks.

Recording too close gets a very bassy response and can sound kinda unprofessional. Also distorting the whole signal is a possibility... However recording too far can mean that your vocals sound weak and too quiet... compression can solve this, but room noise will be picked up too. Also, we all...

Going for a heavy sound, any advice on mixing is great. https://soundcloud.com/buster-6/select If the widget doesn't work for some reason, click the link. It plays fine just not on here I guess... *EDIT 8/16/2013* New mix uploaded. Added a tube preamp (VST) onto the vocals, and turned down the...
