Use some light compression. Download Nebula for free. Maybe add EQ if needed. Add limiter. Try the Sonnox Oxford Limiter if you can find a demo. Not my favorite but very quick. Leave some headroom at the top regardless. If you don't, when it gets converted to MP3s and shared around, it will...

Hey, sorry, it seems that some of the tracks were missing when I uploaded this before. I re-uploaded it.

Yes, used the Ampex AT-800! I had it at the end of the chain but was getting distortion. So I threw it behind the limiter. Not sure if that was a good idea or not. Also used Massive passive, the 1073, and LA1176LN. Not too creative here but they definitely all work really well. Also the...

EDIT: Just realized many of the tracks just disappeared in Cubase, uploaded version with the rest of the tracks http://rushcoil.com/unglued.mp3 ------------------------------------------ Wondering how this sounds, mix / master-wise. Tomorrow I will have vocals but trying to get the mix close...

I am trying to integrate tape into my small studio setup. My brother gave me a Tascam TSR-8 and a Mackie 32.8 board, but I need a new interface. I am wondering if the following setup makes sense to you: I was going to get the RME Fireface 800. It looks like I can have the 8 rear outputs going...

SHORT VERSION: I need an interface that will provide the following: LOW LATENCY, HIGH QUALITY I/O A/D, LIMITED INPUTS Long version: Hello - I am having trouble narrowing this one down. I built a high end quad core system specifically for recording. I need to touch up stuff recorded in the...

Thanks for the advice!

I don't have a good idea of what to do to this mix. This tune is going to be on a tv show, so I need it to sound pro. The trumpet verb is really heavy, and other times it sounds thin... I wanted the trumpet to be out front, and I want a lot of atmosphere. The vox were recorded in Puerto Rico...

I used to sing into headphones.

Hmm nope, it is recording every midi note as played. When I play on the keyboard, everything sounds great When I play back, it is just off. What you said makes me wonder if it is a settin somewhere though. It isn't quantizing it though, all my rhythmic mistakes are in place, heh. But the...

The program Reason 3.04 sounds like a solution for you. After I began using it for sounds, I sold all of my keyboards and starting using just a keyboard midi controller. The sounds are top notch. Also, virtual instruments are fantastic, such as STeinberg's The Grand, and with such fantastic...

I have had this problem at my home studio and at my project studio. While monitoring and recording midi tracks, there is no latency. However, when I record a track, sometimes the entire midi track will be recorded like a 16th note off, and I have to select all and move the notes a 16th note...

Thanks for all the tips. The acoustic guitar is a 1957 epiphone Texan through a Neumann TLM 170, direct. The vox are through a Rode tube mic into a focusrite pre. the drums and bass were done with my mouse. There is no band, only me, and the singer. Guitar was plugged direct, amplitude, that is...

This tune sounds really cool. Really open mix, I like the snare drum a lot. Sell it to the Scissor Sisters, heh. Imagine it with Bee Jees vocals. I like the video game homage near the end.

I posted this on the mixing/mastering board by accident. This is my first 'indie rock' production project, for a real label, so it has to be RIGHT! I'm looking for any advice to make it better, production, mixing, or mastering wise. I have to finish this entire album this week. You guys seem to...
