Typing while listening: Acoustic guitar sounds good! I like it a lot. The vocals are a bit loud (or the guitar is a bit quiet) at the beginning. The vocals cover the guitars up a bit during the verse, so I'm thinking less vocal volume (or some compression) and if that makes the vocals get...

Typing while listening: I like the tone of the lead guitar at the beginning, good use of effects on it. Like others said, drums just a bit too up front in the beginning. Maybe make that guitar lead line louder? Or drop the drums down a bit. Rhythm guitars are really fizzy, not a whole lot of...

Not my style of music at all (I'm into classic rock and metal mostly), but I've gotta say this is really good! The kick sounds great and all your synth sounds fit together really well. Good use of dynamics too. I like it! It sounds very professional.

Sounds pretty good! The bass sounds great, and the drums sound really good too (I really like the toms). I hear what you mean about the snare not "popping", it's not a bad snare sound, it just doesn't have enough crack as I'd prefer. That's just my opinion though and I'm not sure what the...

I uploaded another mix to soundcloud, here's the link: https://soundcloud.com/wolverine1190/mix5 The main difference is the vocals, they have more low end rolled off than the previously linked mix. They're more clear but I'm afraid that I've made them too airy/thin. The whole first verse...

Each track was recorded with a separate mic, during the same take though. One was positioned near the bass end of the piano and one near the treble end, and they're panned respectively. I might try one track though. I want that "big stereo piano" sound, but if the two tracks are making it...

Alright, first off, sorry for letting the thread die a bit. School's been crazy. So I got some time to work on the mix. I automated some panning and whatnot, but what I really wanted to accomplish was to remove the muddiness from the mix, so I messed with the EQ of the piano and rolled off a...

Hmm.. interesting. I don't think it'd be soundcloud, I'm fairly certain they don't compress files and I uploaded it in .wav format. I wonder if it could be the reverb I'm using? I guess I just don't have the ear for it yet as I don't really hear anything "lo-fi" but I'll take your word for...

I'm working on the things suggested so far, but I'm kind of lost as to what to do with the vocal track. Jonny, you think the vocal track sounds "pretty bad", and although it's not perfect I can't seem to hear anything that would make me say that it's bad. Could you maybe be a bit more specific...

Sounds pretty good. Like some others have said already, I'd dial back the doubling effect on the vocals a bit. The effect should be enough to make the vocals seem bigger, but subtle enough so as not to make the listener think "Oh hey! There's two voices there!" In other words, it should be...

Great sounding guitar, whatever you did to record it and process it, you did it right. Looking forward to hearing more!

Thanks for the feedback. The vocals were recorded with a shure KSM 313 in a treated studio at the university I attend. The only processing done to the vocals is reverb, compression, and a wide gentle boost around 2 to 3 KHz. I added just enough to get the vocals to come out over the piano, but...

Hey guys, The title basically says it all. I love music production, but don't have a lot of experience yet. My friend wanted to record a song of just piano and vocals so we did that, and now it's up to me to make it sound good. If I could get some feedback on what's wrong with the mix...

Well I picked up an M-Audio Fast Track, the cheapest, smallest one. Every thing works just dandy now. Thanks for all the help and advice everyone. And to whoever may read this: stay away from Hosa Technology products :/

That review pretty much sums up what trouble i've been having. Can't seem to get any decent input, and tons of static and hiss. I got it at Best Buy but I don't think I can return it at this point. The package is torn to pieces. Guess I can try though. Looks like I'll be picking up the more...
