Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker is pretty fucking beautiful too. Except the fucking tambourine on shakedown. gets me every time.

Updated mix. The tape delay on the whole mix may not be everybody's cup of tea but I dig it. Gotta ask my drummer's opinion still, I was just kinda mucking about.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I just did a quick mix on the headphones we used to record with so I could burn some cds and listen in the car to garner some ideas for the real mix. I agree with the general consensus - mix definitely needs some thickening up, I may end up taking out some of the instruments...

That, or do a bullhorn effect (which is easy to emulate with a simple EQ, do a sweep and find where the honk is, and boost that up). Try doing it in parallel like gerg said. I would mess with EQ more than I would with traditional distortion... almost treat it like its a blues harp or...

Yeah, move that mic at least a foot back, probably more. And for god sakes, turn that Marshall up, my friend. A loud guitar amp doesn't produce the kind of pressure something like a kick drum would, so your pretty safe using a condenser on it. Hell, I always run my amps all the way open when...

Same here, first band I got into (heard my dad's band working on the tune in our basement, loved it, became my favorite band for a long time). I was 8 or so too. Great recording!

NYM, maybe this will help. Not a perfect analogy, but a useful one: Think of like a poorly shielded tele and a super-modern gain machine. The higher the gain is set on the amplifier, the easier it is to feed it back. This does not mean, however, that you cannot achieve the same volume from...

Something else you might want to try to do is compress the lead quite a bit to really smooth it out, then add any EQ after the compression in the chain. If you still need to thicken it up by double tracking, I would do it in the mix using some sort of ADT technique, but keep it subtle.

This is more what I was going for. Still looking for guns.

I really really dig the way The Rise and Fall of Butch Walker and the Let's Go Out Tonight's sounds - really very retro yet modern, most of the album is dripping in 60's style echo. Whiskeytown - Pneumonia is a really great sounding cd too. The newest Raconteurs is really up there as well...
