    The Sun Lies - alternative pop, mix thoughts?

    Hey everyone, another redo of a track written and mixed last year. Since I had access to the drum MIDI here, I rewrote some of the parts. Everything was re-tracked except for the vocal takes. I didn't think I could do any better, and they sounded ok, so I kept them. New guitars, new bass, and an...

    Double-tracking methods:

    Here's a sample of what I do with almost every verse vocal. Underneath the main vocal track is a separate track, about 12db less, that is a stereo track with a chorus vst. The chorus plugin is set to around 6ms delay, full pan, 130hz-20khz, using the "fullness" preset. To my ears, it adds (like...

    Cymbal Panning Help In Superior Drummer!

    Hey, don't you see these cymbal panning options? You're using SD and not EZD, right? Different kits within the SD lineup have different mic and panning defaults. This is my default setup for The Rock Warehouse expansion kit. I'm pretty sure the NY Avatar stock kit has the same. (I tested out...

    The Deepest End - alternative rock

    Hey guys, another remix of an older song. I don't have a chance to do vocals for new stuff for a bit, so I've been reworking some of last years tunes. Here's the latest attempt to put things I've picked up to (hopefully) good use. Did the whole mix from scratch since I had the stems this time...

    Drum Tuning

    Based on MJB's thread, I realized I wanted to get everyone's opinion on drum tuning for individual songs. I'm using Superior Drummer, so it's rather easy for me to give it a try. But how should I approach this? Most of my songs are drop D tuning, but already down a half step, so D-flat...

    Last One In The Room - alternative pop, new mix

    Hey, I decided to remix this one since I feel it was one of my strongest tracks but the original was sub-par. I redid every aspect of the mix, although I no longer had access to the stems or bounces. Everything was repanned, re-eq'd, re-compressed, etc... using the things I've picked up in the...

    Black Mirrors - pop/rock/alternative, feedback?

    Hey everyone, please give a listen and comment on the mix, if ya can. Eh, a little different one here as it's certainly softer, but still a bit of screaming stuff here and there as I like to add in. I wrote the music last month and have battled the mid-range during mixing. There's 3 sets of...

    32 to 64?

    I keep reading about "bridging" something to make 32 bit vst's work on a 64 bit system. Can anyone explain this? Is it easy? Recommend doing it? There are many, many vst's I'm not able to use on this laptop that I would like to try. Blockfish being just one. Thanks!

    Snare Samples?

    So, I use Superior Drummer 2 and I pull pieces from the NY Avatar kit, the Rock Warehouse kit, and the Metal Machine kit. With 40+ cymbals to choose from, I'm good there :) Enough kicks as well, though most need tweaking since it's all non-processed, raw material. However, the 5-6 snares in...

    The Suffering Of Aiden - alternative rock track

    Hey everyone, can I get a mix check? Looking back, I would turn the gain down on all the guitars by a hair. I've wondered if the verse/intro guitars would be better clean, but I originally wanted a touch of darkness/cold/chilling-gain on them. Not sure if they came off that way. Are we...

    PreSonus AudioBox suddenly not working....

    First, I just created a ticket request at PreSonus's support page. Seeing as it's the holidays, I am not expecting a fast response from them. So...I'll try my knowledgeable friends at HR! My AudioBox USB was working fine since, well, forever. I changed the buffer size earlier today in the...

    Delta mode - compressors

    Soooo... a compressor I downloaded a few months ago has an option called Delta mode. Turning this on shuts out all the sound except for the peaks/sound being compressed. In other words, it's the opposite of listening with normal compression engaged (i believe that makes sense, ya?) I've found...

    MayFlower - alternative/pop/rock

    Hey, I'd like to know how you guys think this one turned out. My brain is fried with this song after working on it for almost a month :) How's the overall energy? The room, depth, space, etc? Is there a nice "air" around the vocal and drums? I'm pretty happy with my tones, overall, so I'm...

    Studio One Q

    Pertaining to Studio One 2, and I know there are a few users here who use it. Can ya help me out? I can't find this anywhere - manual, youtube, etc... When a track(s) are highlighted, and then an event-line is created, making two separate events, I am sometimes granted the ability to move that...

    Waveform size

    Today, I tracked vocals for a new song. As I'm sitting down to start editing the 14 vox tracks, I notice that the waveforms are much smaller than usual - the quietest lines don't even appear to incite a visual indicator (there's no waveform, just audio). I did use a different mic than usual...

    Limiter Q - Studio One stock

    if there was a sub for "PreSonus", i'd have posted this there. If this can be applied to other limiters, then feel free to answer too. I'm wondering why the stock limiter in Studio One 2 Pro frequently clips when "true peak" is set on. I'm pretty sure this function enables absolutely no...

    Hearts Collide - pop alternative rock - mix feedback?

    Worked on this for the last month, trying new things and new ideas and approaches to the mix. I scrapped about 10 previous mixes until I felt I could no longer work on it without requiring an extensive break from these same sounds over and over. :) Specifically, I need to improve my vocal...

    All I Ever... - alternative pop rock

    Please leave your thoughts/comments on this mix... Everything is going through a cool, free console plug, called Code Red, for a little saturation and character. I like it. Drums are SD, and a combination of the NY Avatar and Rock Warehouse pieces. Guitars are Amplitube's Soldano and Orange...
