    Lost Boys (cowboy/western/rock song)

    Took another stab mixing from scratch last night using some of the tips people had suggested. Before, my fiance couldnt hear my vocal words but now she can, which is a good sign that it's at least better. Definitely still some tweaking to be done (bass sounds a bit loud through airpods but...

    Lost Boys (cowboy/western/rock song)

    Thanks for the feedback. There's a lot of instruments in the song that I want to keep, but it's proving challenging to give a pan/frequency space to everything... The vocals in particular I am fighting hardest with to make them crisp and clear. As @Papanate has said the vocal doubling also...

    Rock song: Cave Paintings

    Love the groove/concept! +1 to The pads are a bit overwhelming, especially when the vocals are singing. I like the part at 2:15, the pause from the standard chug At least to my airpods, I feel like the final guitar solo could be a bit more up front to slash our souls.

    The Battle Of Brighton Beach '64

    Love the tone on the guitars at "The Who" entrance. Would love to hear a rocker voice come on the scene and sing some sweet nothing's... The strings/FX that come in starting around 1:36 feel a bit cheap to me. The solo at 2:51 is a bit muddied and I think could be cleaned up/brought to the...

    How do they get this vocal sound?

    So sounds like you need to stack a *lot* of vocals then to get this level of smooth.... 10? 100? a million?

    How do they get this vocal sound?

    Hey all, For all those expert engineers out there, I am trying to understand how to replicate the female vocals that come in panned at 1:19 in the chorus - . They are so luscious(!!) and wash over you but I have no idea what the "special sauce" may be. My guess is you need a long-tail reverb...

    For any of y'all interested, here is the final mix - Added some arpeggio piano to the "climax", and tried to incorporate the suggestions mentioned here.

    Feedback wanted before sending to mastering - Falling Down, glam rock

    Overall sounds pretty well mixed. Maybe my pop conditioning, but I think the main vocals could be a touch more up front. It doesn't feel like the "front layer" in my face unlike most pop mixes. The guitar that comes in at 1:29 feels a bit thin, would be nice to add a bit more punch to rip...

    Electric Blue - Winter, 2021

    Hey all, Been (trying to) come up with a moody track as an outlet for some of the 2021 winter cold/isolation I (and many of you) have collectively been going through. Would highly appreciate a bash / some feedback. I feel like I have some good vibes but still room for improvement. E.g maybe my...

    What is the best app for guitar audio -> midi

    What is the technology status these days of taking a WAV file of recorded guitar (no other instruments) and converting it to midi? Is this a solved problem and any midi transcriber should do? Or do some do this really well and others do not? Is the midi converter robust to FX (delay, reverb...

    Electric Blue - Artificial

    Been working on this new Daft Punk-ish / rockish song... ready for some feedback. Happy to hear any thoughts... Trying to find the balance between groove and nightmare lol. The robot voice might make the words hard to hear, but I think I'm fine with that as I'll post the lyrics. ------- Verse...

    Electric Blue - Ouroboros

    Been working on a trip/adventure/mystical track for a while now and it's ready for some bashing! It's 8 mins but would really appreciate if people gave feedback on the whole thing. Does it hold your interest the whole time? What could be mixed better? Bash away!!
