    grounding problems; static sounds in my monitors

    Hi there, I'm having some problems with unwanted signals in my monitor speakers. This is my setup as it is now: - ungrounded pc - firewire interface powered by pc - unbalanced audio connection (no balanced options) to powered monitors (grounded I know this doesn't look like a great solution...

    There is so much energy in you kickdrum that it compresses the whole mix (sounds like you have big compressor on the whole mix)... can't you get some energy out of the kick? Put on a high pass at around 80Hz or so... experiment with it. With the nice acoesticpart in the middle it should sound...

    What's limiting YOUR recordings??

    1 Artists (good compositions and well played instruments) 2 Instruments (things should sound right before recording) 3 Time (to experiment with setups and time for the artists) 4 Knowlegde (that will be the engineer) 5 Taste (what kind of recording fits the style) 6 Space (suitable acoustics and...

    where is the overhead?? I hear a bit hissing,,, I guess that are the crashes...? Maybe bring the vocals a bit more into the front... eq boost around 4k's,,,

    Defaced!

    I wondered what you think of this song: http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/vandiepenbrugge/defaced.mp3 It's a strange song. It's a one rif song (with modulation) What do you think of the mix? I'm not sure about the piano. I made a recording of nice Bosendorfer grand piano, but they're a pain to...

    please critique this rough sketch of a song...

    Put some slapback delay on the snare man! The bassguitar doesn't provide that raw fundement of you mix, but I see you downtune your guitar... =) Hmm I'm getting a strange urge to watch Pulp Fiction tonight.... cya!

    Hard Rock/Comercial metal song

    Nice song! The distortion guitars are the biggest disturbance. Seems like to much high mid,,, did you eq them like that? Maybe a boost around 2k would be more apropiate. The whole mix sounds a bit dull. Try clear up the muddy sound,,, usually to much energy built up in the mix around 500Hz...

    New song concept, popish

    I like the dry snare. The song sounds a bit 'carefull',,, maybe bring up the guitars a bit for more of livefeel? And eh, get this girl to do the vocaltrack!

    the whole thing is nasty wet. Can't you bring up the kick and snare? If they are a bit dry then maybe the whole mix will sound a bit more direct... I like the track =)

    more than one asiodriver at the same time?

    Is it possible to use more than one asiodriver at the same time? In cubase I only could switch between them. In my case it's about the Esi quatafire610 and a pod with usb(also with asio driver). I would like them both at the same time. I fear the worst, please tell me otherwise =)

    ESI/Ego-Sys Firewire Interfaces

    I've got one! I've got the 610. my pros and cons: pros: small, firewire, headphone out, 2 midis, ok converters, cheap. cons: HiZ sucks, preamps are a pain to use (to sensitive gain control at the point it gives decent gain). crappy monitormixing in software. So many outputs, but I can make...

    funk song

    Nice song and nice mixing. The vocals don't really attract the attention. Maybe a lack of body? For funk I like a bit more round sound on the kick. Don't really know how it would sound with that kit. Maybe A bit more ambient sound of the kick? Good work!
