Good evening everyone! I have been tweaking this master for quite some time now so I though a dedicated post on the Mastering forum was mandatory (because mixing is not mastering). I will post both the mix and my master if there is sufficient interest, because that is the only fair option for a...

Anyway..this is where the track led me. If anyone has thoughts on this I will gladly listen. Cheers.

I don't agree with the snare being "programmed" statement. I can accept this statement for the crashes ..not the snare. There are a lot of elements that differentiate this snare from a version of other snares that just go boom. This one has ghost notes and dynamics. But it has to be heard also...

"Wrong Impressions" is one of my own projects. I recorded the guitars, mixed and kinda mastered. Today I will reevaluate some aspects of the mix and tomorrow I will sit down to master it. I would like to hear your thoughts on the process. I include a short snippet of the track. I had some...

Good evening br3ttski and thank you for the feedback! It seems I need to get used to this technique. I tried what you suggested and indeed it makes a great difference in the mids and high mid frequencies of the vocals. They are more present and you can actually blend as much as you want into...

I update this The second EQ was a bit too much. I managed to do the same with one instance and some mid-side processing. I believe it is way more natural this way. It still lacks 10% to be fully competitive. Purely my opinion.

Good evening Steve! Yes, it seems the send level of the main crashes origin - which was the OHs and the Ambience tracks - was a little bit too much for the parallel compression channel's compressor. Your observation indeed helped matters a lot. I had a talk with one of my teachers and he...

Good evening Steve I tried to listen to what you said. There seems to be a trade-off between how much hats and cymbals I have in the mix. In general, now there are more cymbals that are less compressed but the issue that you mention doesn't seem to be rectified. I believe it could have...

Thank you for the information. I reworked some aspects of the mix and the master. Basically I mastered a bit higher. To answer your question: I have used filters of this nature that you mention (perhaps not with such a steep roll-off) in the mix. Certainly. Though, there are 2 considerations I...

Thank you for your comment Steve Yes, I guess automating some choruses and fills of the snare and kick would get me closer to where I want to go. On the HS 7s is a bit of trial and error process though, this is why I am seriously considering the purchase of a pair of Adams a77x or similar...

Feedback Thank you for the feedback! You are correct on the Reverb note. Since there were many "Room" elements in the mix I may have gone too far with it. I noticed that it was not lacking even though I muted the channel. It did help with the definition of the drums. Toms were also treated a...

Good evening Home Recording forum! My name is John and I am looking for feedback through a fresh pair of ears for this mix. It is a metal track from the band Black crown and the song is called Flames. All mixing and mastering were done by me through a pair of Yamaha HS 7s in an untreated room...

Good evening everyone This is a guitar track i made recently.I am pretty happy from the result since all was done by me.I mean recording mixing and mastering .All was in the box and all was digital except maybe for some reamped guitars with Axe Fx 2 ..consider that also digital ..here is the...
