Alright guys, This is no lie. I came to this forum looking for some EQ tips, clicked this thread out of curiosity, and found my own videos being analyzed. What are the chances? But, to clear things up, here's the truth. The original track used TruePianos VST for the piano sound, an AT2020 for...

Does anyone else have any suggestions? They are very much appreciated.

Thank you very much for the information. The piano had a low pass filter on it already, but I will try the high pass and cuts later tonight. I really want the vocals to stand out, but at the same time have the music surround them. I want them to fall into place, rather than just "sit on top of...

Here's my setup: Behringer Xenyx 802 Mixer Behringer FCA202 Behringer C1, AT2020, Shure SM57 and SM58 The C1 came with the package that I purchased in my beginning days of recording, and as a first mic I think that it is FAR better than the MXL990. Sure, it has that high-end sparkle that most...

YouTube - Justin Bieber -- Pray (Official Video) - Live Acoustic Piano Cover I realize that this is a simple mix, but I feel as if it needs some sort of extra mastering/eq-ing to give it a more professional edge. Thanks!

I also recommend the Boss. I've used one, and it is a fantastic value.

Try GSnap as well.
