I find the whole low end and I guess much of the mid range (I have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm just roughly stating frequencies) to be somewhat woolly. And when I say "somewhat", I mean "quite". The bass guitar is indistinct and kind of overblown with no articulate tonal quality...it's...

Thanks Jimmy, I won't send that one. It was a really bad mix anyway. I tried again with my newfound understanding of the EZD overheads etc and I think it'd heading in the right direction now. I like your style, Dude. Nah, not trying for a modern sound really. But I did read about parallel...

Thanks. The thing is...that image was the final mixdown (of one of the earlier mixes) so the limiter had not dealt with them at all it looks like. The thing concerning me was that my idea of mixbus compression is to glue things into a cohesive unit...but with these crazy snare spikes I get the...

No worries, thanks. I think you might have listened to another song. This one's been down a couple of days. I just mixed it again and put it back up.

I won't worry about it for now Jimmy, thanks anyway. I'm going to have to take a break for a while, I'm a bit burnt out on this recording caper and I have a job just come up so I'll focus on that. Appreciate it though. EDIT: I think I found why the snare peaks so badly...in ezDrummer the...

For this particular song...the honest answer there would be...not very good because I'm trying to sing in a key that my voice range can't handle. But also because there's no gelling of things like my voice down into the song. It sounds ok in my studio but sounds weak in other playback...

Can anyone help with this...I keep getting songs where the kick and snare make the mixdown waveform look mega spikey. It can't be good because any mixbus glue compression ideas I may have just don't work because the stereo bus compressor spends its life only looking at these outrageous kick and...

Well, that might depend on how secure your compound is. ?

Righto thanks. The vocal had quite a few soft/ louder bits. I'll fix that with automation. I love those albums too. ? Found that the kick and snare peak as crazy transients all through the song, see pic. That can't be a great thing...

Hi, how does this mix sound your end? First song here called Country Mile. Thanks for listening and any advice (y)

As long as you don't start imploring people to sign up to a mailing list for your "free cheat sheet of top 5 mixing hacks free e-book" then no worries. I used to post to soundclick a hundred years ago, but post at soundcloud now. But anyway, who cares about views, posting to youtube doesn't...

I believe those picks belong to Richard :unsure:

Nice work man. Looks like you might be right. (y)

I think you're right. Changing the pick helped a lot in playing too. Funny, because the first pick is one I never really use but thought sounded and felt good. For the 2nd attempt I went back to the pick I usually use for strumming and I think it turned out better. Side note, vocal recordings in...

Can anyone identify this guitar pick? All markings are gone. I can't remember where I got it, but have had it about 10 years I suppose. It's roughly 1mm thick, maybe like 1.1mm and the grip...the grey area seems to be some kind of cross between super fine sandpaper, graphite and that stuff they...

Here's a different take of clip #1 above...the first 14 seconds of the backing for my song. This is played with a different pick. I think this take is much better than the 14 seconds in the post above. Again, nothing done with plugins except raising the volume by 3db. With this guitar pick it's...

I wanted to put this up here. It's 3 clips back to back of acoustic guitar. The acoustic guitar is a Martin D28 played in an arrangement as you can see in the picture attached. I'm using a U87ai in cardioid with no rolloff. It goes into a Daking Mic/pre/eq preamp where I roll off about 4db at...

Thrown from a moving vehicle...now there's a story. Haha

I'll try that. So far I've been in the centre of the room with the mic about a foot or a little more away from the guitar.

Oh yeah! My mistake...I totally blindsided myself that you were operating according to the rules there. Right, right, I'm with ya now. So how long have you have your Ovation? Do you have any other acoustic guitars? I have a Martin D28 I bought in 2008 and a Talyor GC5 that I bought in around...
