Hi All, Was hoping for some feedback on my latest mix "Teutonic Terror", which is originally a song by the band Accept. All critiques welcome and encouraged! https://soundcloud.com/thenightman77/teutonic-terror-june-2-accept-cover

I'll keep looking, haven't found anything too useful online yet. I use digital performer 6.1... I know not too many people have experience with it here

Hi All, I recently purchased a WA76 compressor and I have been using it on some tracks that were recorded prior to my purchasing the unit. The problem I'm having is that when I send the initially recorded track from the DAW through the hardware unit and the processed signal back into my DAW...

Hi All, Should be a simple question to answer here: I have most of a song tracked at 16 bit using Digital Performer 6, however the vocalist wanted to track his parts at his house. He uses Pro Tools (10 or 11) and we recorded his vocals at 24 bit. When we are finished with tracking I intend...

I think that this original post lacks some context. Graham does these "challenges" where his main point is that people that are newer to recording and have not had any professional training should focus on learning how to use stock plugins and cheap microphones and minimize purchasing of...

Guys thanks very much for taking the time to listen and provide feedback. I'm going to give it another shot tomorrow and post the revised version to see if it's any better. I'm only going to roll it out on Friday if it's ready to go so if it needs more time then so be it, I'd rather make it...

Hey all, I've been working on my band's EP for some time now which will be the first thing I've ever mixed entirely by myself and released to the public. I'm hoping to release it at our show on Friday, but would appreciate any last minute advice regarding this mix. It sounds decent on my...

Hey man, Thanks for taking the time to listen to it and provide feedback, I appreciate it. To address some of your points and questions, the drums are not programmed, they were recorded live in an untreated room. Not sure whats causing the snare muffle, but it was double mic'd, top and...

Hey all, Been mixing an ep for my band and just finished the first mix of one of the songs. I'm hoping for some feedback from the experts on how to improve it before releasing to the public. It's a hard rock/classic metal type song, though not quite in either category, featuring a singer with...

Thanks dobro, that's helpful information. This is the first time I've ever experimented with parallel compression, but I did use it on vocals (extremely dynamic, tough to get everything to similar levels but I used both parallel compression and automation), bass (only a little bit of parallel...

OK guys I took another stab at the mix, trying to take into account your suggestions. Let me know what you think and where I can improve! You'll notice during the interlude there is some ambient noise...there will be a bar scene for 2 or so measures, just haven't recorded the lines that go...

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! Agreed on the uneven levels of the vocals. I tried to clean that up first with bite gain adjustments, compression, and then parallel compression but didn't really get the results I wanted. Hopefully automating will fix the issue. There's actually no...

We've all been there before right? You lose control of your vehicle in outer space and crash land in the desert on Mars. You get out and survey the damage, it's going to be awhile before you can get the parts to fix your ship. Might as well grab a cold one at the local watering hole right...

Thanks! Good advice, much appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was wary mostly because it's very rare that I see anything at all on top of studio monitors in a studio and I wasn't sure if that was because it affected the sound of the audio monitor at all. Since no one has mentioned that, I assume this isn't the case? You...
