Though I know the heated debate that entails, I'd just like to hear a few opinions as to how, to me, it seems like digitally produced (electronica music) mixes can be pushed a little more than analog (rock, etc.) produced music. An example would be mixing say a trance or D n' B mix versus say...

Hey guys here's a new mix from the studio, prolly one of my best yet, it's hard rock ballad with some screaming in it. I did some ad lib post production piano to add thickness and dynamics. Lemme know what you guyses think. "Break" by Amherst feat. Ken Luengo on piano...

Well, I decided to indulge more in my knowledge of mastering by browsing the web for any tips. I came across this fairly lengthy but thorough article that breaks down different techniques while not simply persuading an engineer to simply slap on a maximizer, compressor, or limiter for the sake...

Hey guys, just finished up a new song from my band. This is one of our more Tool inspired songs and it was so difficult for me to get the drum tracks right @.@ I don't know how many takes I had to do till I was satisfied lol. Song is called Clash of the Titans Clash of the Titans by...

Hey guys, I've been having this consistent issue with my mixes sound really centered after I finalize it and export for mastering. For example, this recent song I'm doing for a band involves a guitar solo that I have hard panning installed (Like there are two guitarists taking turns playing a...

Hey guys, finally got a recording of my band after such a long haitus. This one is called "Scattered echoes". I think I've had the most trouble with the kick, as I have been for such a while now. I can't ever seem to get it to sit right in the mix without have to bring out so much click...

Hey guys, currently working on a 7 song ep for a local band and they happen to be of the metal/hard core genre. This is a premastered mix that I wanted to get some feedback on. I'm still trying my hand at mastering, but it's a slow process :/. I think the drums may be a lil on the loud...

krk rokit 5 - pair | eBay Since most find the older version of the KRK 5's to have a better sound than the current line, I happened to find this deal on ebay through my email. A very good deal IMO, especially since the newer batches cost at least twice as much for a pair. A good deal for...

Apple 27" iMac Desktop Computer MC511LL/A B&H Photo Video Wasn't sure which forum to post this exactly, so this was my best bet. A very very good deal on a mac computer that is very rare to come by. It comes with a 27" IPS monitor which probably worth the cost of the whole setup alone. Very...

Hey guys, doing an 8 track EP album for a local band and here's a almost complete song that I did some touch up mixing. All it's missin' is the back up vocals and lead guitar part. I was going for more of a black Sabbath feel with the big openess and "big stadium" mood to it. I also did...

I'm looking to buy any used 8" woofer sized active pair monitors. More preferably from brands like Yamaha, KRK, Behringer, M-audio, or anything you can offer. I'm thinking of a max budget of around $350 shipped, which I know can be pretty small to be asking for, but if anyone is willing to...

Hey guys, I've been meanin' to upgrade for a while now. I'm currently working with an Alesis IO26 8 channel preamp/ 1/4 input firewire interface. All going through Cubase LE4. I'm starting to get very very very tired of the constant issues I'm receiving from Cubase and I also want to upgrade...

Well, for lack of better terms just as the title says. Basically I'm trying to achieve the effect that a lot of songs I hear use in songs. What it is is that sound would start from one side of a pan, like for left, then fade or pan to the opposite side. And vice-versa for a certain amount...

This the first song that my recent band has finished tracking and mixing. Still have the issue with converting .wave to mp3, but other than that I think I'm ok with the mix as it is for the time I spent on it. Criticism is welcome, it would do well to help with future mixes...

Hey guys, This is really starting to annoy me. After I finish finalizing my mixes I save it to .wave through Cubase LE4. Well when I convert it to mp3 using GoldWave I get a strange noise that almost sounds like a flanger has been placed into the mix. I was thinking that it may be because I...
