Hey everyone, please share your comments on this mix. I spent about 4 weeks on it, doing only small adjustments at a time and providing for plenty of ear-rest in between mixing sessions. The intro guitars are Amplitube 4's Orange amps through 2x12's, while the heavy chorus guitars are Amp 4's...

here are both, as they are in the mix session:

hey, I wanted to try a more, um, natural (?) sound with this one since I couldn't come up with many synth-y, delay type parts I like to throw in. Two things that I'm wondering your opinion on, in particular: 1. the intro guitars. kinda dirty. rather fuzzy. how do they sound to you, and what...

Something obvious I'm missing here? Some compressors I've been using have both options. Time to use one or another? Why have makeup if you can just use output gain?

that might sound confusing. let me clear that up... For a guitar track, I used Amplitube 4 with delay/harmonator/octave pedals before the amp/cab. At the end of this current track, I play the final note and then that exact combo of pedals leaves a long sustain of ringing verging on feedback...

hey, the vocals are still a struggle with the AT4040, but the reflection filter (and comforters behind me) are helping a bit. I think the verse vocals are more exposed and the boxiness shows there, though they're masked more in the chorus. Do you agree? I'm never a fan of double kicks, but I...

Hey yo, Anyone aware of a way to monitor in detail which vsts and plugs are using the most resources in your DAW? A real-time program or plug for this would be great. Thanks!

...it is time to buy a pair of HS8's? Is it advised to let them "stand up" on your desk, without support of some sort? Do you use/need a sub with these? Of course, sound absorbing items and room treatment are ideal. What other things might I be forgetting to factor in? New are around $300-350...

While we're showing off basses! Also, not my pic...google search image. same thing though. Spent a lot of time working the bass sound for a newer track last night. My goal was to avoid using an EQ plug and dial in the sound ONLY with the amp head and mic position. I did need a HP filter...

feedback on this? Nothing specific I'm after this time, just all around mix stuff. thanks! https://soundcloud.com/andrushkiwt/weather-eternity Too far, too long, I'll wait for nothing. Just like before, I'll wait for something. I'm identical in turn. Your chemicals, they burn. I can't see...

New amp sim (amplitube 4), drums (rock warehouse SDX) and new-ish mic (at4040). The room/mic was giving me problems in the 1khz-2.5khz area, as well as the guitars there, and after a week of trying various things to resolve it, I found that a gentle cut in that region worked better than anything...

First, I'm happy with the way my latest track came out... it'll be up in the clinic shortly, and i'll link to it here later once I can get on SC (during lunch). However, I did try putting a spectrum analyzer on it and I was curious about what it was showing me. This is NOT an EQ, and my...

...to never go by exact settings. I'm currently putting a compressor onto a track to catch some peaks before the limiter does its job. I tried out 2 diff compressors... The first was set to get a max reduction of 2.5db (my preference for this track, more sounded not good) and I achieved that...

Amplitube lets you select various (8, i think) routing setups. For instance, preset 1 includes a tuner > stomp > amp > cab > rack 1 > output. There are 8 different setups that have a specific signal chain, although, of course, you can change each stomp and cab etc... it's just the path of the...

Yup. LCR. I actually don't think I've heard a single track in the clinic here using LCR panning. I'm going to give it a try tonight on the current mix I'm working on...should be ready by the weekend, early next week at latest. Thoughts? Have you tried it and didn't like it? If you don't know...

So...my Studio One limiter has a "TP" button. Is this true peak? If so, how is it "more true" than simply setting the threshold and assuming that nothing shall pass? Is it an even greater reinforcement than the threshold parameter?

here we go, raw and processed, in the mix and solo. I'm still tracking everything, so don't mind the mix. Also, this is a double. I can go into the verse if that's better - but I also wanted to show how the doubles are stacking and almost competing. The freq's really pile on in my doubles...

Does anyone have a good link/article about some philosophies behind mic positioning? I'm getting some really boxy/grating raw vocal tracks no matter which mic (at4040, sterling st51, sm58) or which position I place it in or which distance from my mouth (6"-1.5'). I'm going to try rotating it 15...

Hey guys, First, THANK YOU to all the kind members I bugged about some issues with this track. It is much, much appreciated. You have someone to bug if ya need something... I posted this a few days ago but took it down due to some vocal crap that I didn't catch before bouncing. oops. (Thanks...
