Sounds okay to me. Lower the guitar in the mix. Let the vocal come up. Do a high pass on the guitar at 100Hz. Great performance and tune!

Needs more chord changes.

Marshall Origin 20 watt head: 1 watt setting I've had a few days with the new Origin 20 watt head. It's a groovy amp. Not what I really associate with Marshall, but my only first-hand experience is the DSL. This is a vintage style amp that loves clean to edge-of-breakup. It has a really...

New amp came today. I had my eye on the two new lines of Vietnamese Marshall heads and combos that came out this year. There is the Origin series, which is supposed to be based on vintage low gain Marshalls. They come in 20 and 50 watt heads as wells as assorted combos. There is also the DSL...

New collaboration. Johnny sang all the vocals. Amazing arrangement of the harmony vox! Dave did the drums. I wrote the song and played everything else. Great work guys! All comments welcome. Priority is the vocal mix. Thanks! Latest mix: MASTER_Pen Penny Pen_2018_Master 8.mp3 - Google...

Brand new song, still tweaking lyrics and things. Haven't decided on the ending yet. Let me know what you think. These are my demo vocals and programmed drums. The plan is to bring in a good singer. Drums will need a makeover for sure. Thanks! Latest mix: Silver Glide_Ray Taylor_mix...

Your mailbox is full.

Another song demo. I'm trying to kick out the songs I've been writing this summer. Here's the next up. This is my vocal demo with programmed drums using Jamstix4 samples. The final version will have real drums and a real singer. This is a mix, not a master. Natural dynamics are present...

I took the plunge on the Waves sale and bought the Vocal Rider and De Esser. I haven't messed with the latter yet. However, I did try the Vocal Rider. It took me a while to get the side chain working in Reaper. It involved getting into the pins and figuring out the magic combination. Tested...

I posted the song demo on the forum a while back. Here's working on the finished product. JohnnyAmato sang lead and harmony vox. Ibleedburgundy played the drums. Awesome job! Early days for this mix. It's more complicated that what I've been mixing lately. The arrangement has a lot of...

Song demo with my vocals and programmed drums. The plan is to bring in a singer eventually. This is a brand new song, still making final adjustments. There will probably be changes to the lyrics. I'm interested in hearing comments about the general direction of the song. Would it make you...

I have been using this outboard compressor and it's sister unit, the ART PRO MPA II mic preamp, in my input chain for about three years. I use it for tracking everything. I've found it to be a smooth compressor that adds a bit of warmth without imposing too much on the signal. It works on...

Here's a collaboration from the forum. Johnny did all the vocals. Dave played drums. Guitars, keys, bass, and song are mine. Awesome work guys! [UPDATE: JohnnyAmato contributed the awesome outro guitar solo, both parts!] Early days for the mix. All comments appreciated. Thanks! Updated...

Here is what the wav form for your song looks like: Can you not hear the harshness? You murdered your song with a clumsy attempt to "master" it for maximum volume.

I need a headphone amp and a good set of headphones for tracking vocals, that can also do light mixing. Budget $400. Thanks for suggestions!
