No prob man, I boosted the bass and widened/raised vocal level. Hopefully didn't overdo it. . . What I did is put some eq on the master, and an encoder/decoder to eq the mid and sides separately. You can kind of separate the instruments that way, each one tends to occupy its own...

Ever since I heard "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears as a kid, I wanted to make a sound that was that big and intricate with a grandiose theme. It's not exactly brilliant lyrics-wise and it's not grab you by the balls powerful. It won't make you dance, but it's got different...

Great chance to practice some mid/side stuff. . . but I wish I had that accent guitar track, I'd like to turn it down.

Okay, I think I got it in pretty good shape, thinking I'll post this. . . Thanks a ton guys, especially Ken, you musta listened to like 4 different versions haha. Really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for the follow up comments guys. I made a few changes based on your feedback and also added some tracks. It's hard to tell when enough is enough but I think you guys were right, it needed some harmonies.

I think these are pretty good changes. . .

Here's where I am after some changes, lots of good advice I think.

Hi guys- hoping you can give me a good fresh ear on this, I feel like I'm sick of listening to it but it needs some shaping still I think. I've been kind of using "Accidentally in Love" as a reference track. Thanks! :D Mix 1: Mix 2: Mix 3: Mix 4: Mix 5:

Got a new plugin/app today called Audreio (website audre.io), it does real-time iOS monitoring. It cost $25 for the plugin but the app was free. Once you buy, you put the plugin on your mix bus, open the app on your device, and it pipes whatever's hitting the plugin to your device. I kept having...

Here's a pretty interesting 5-minute interview with an engineer about how event sounds are recorded. (Or maybe more appropriately *not* recorded.) For some sports he uses a MIDI controller to play samples matching what's on camera! The Sound of Sport - 99% Invisible

My next DIY project: https://youtu.be/uWWKavfQKAM?t=50s I hope it works for baritones. . .

So awesome watching this guy work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUCx5J8LcsA Looks like he's using an SSL 4000, which has a pre, eq, compressor, fader, and busser(router? what do you call it?) on each channel. Wish I had just a couple channels off that thing, the hands-on method seems so much...

The new pickups went in pretty easy, they sound great but I'm still monkeying with the setup. Trying to get the action comfortable without it buzzing all over the bridge. I included a pic of the headstock because it's kind of unique.

Hi all, been reading about these services that used to (still do?) exist where a "musical sweatshop" would place an ad in a newspaper asking for "song poems" and a bit of "seed money" to make a record. Customers would send their amateur lyrics and some cash to the recording service and the...

Apparently this started in January but I didn't even notice till they sent out an email that happened to mention the amp sim. The everything plan was a decent value when it started but they keep adding to it without raising the price and now I feel like it's a plain steal. This sim is really...

I have a hard time judging the bass/low mids on things, hoping you guys might help. How's the balance on this rock/spoken word thing? 10 points to whoever can say at what point in the recording process my bass preamp broke and I had to continue without it lol Thanks Mix 1: Mix 2: Mix 3:

Hi all, I'm on a modding trip since I was forced to learn by a couple broken guitars heh. And I'm wondering now that I know a bit about the innards, if I could save myself a ton of money buying a cheapie guitar that plays well but has budget parts I can replace to turn it into a great sounding...

Hi all- I got this used mim jazz deluxe and I love it, but it has a preamp and there's not a toggle for it. So I want to bypass the preamp completely. I don't use volume or tone controls, they're always at 10. The only thing I want to keep is blend/pan between the two pickups. So my plan is to...

Hi all, got a piano cover this time, Sarah doing vocals. Not a whole lot to mix but maybe that's a challenge of its own, keeping my fingers off the ten million doodads I usually throw on a mix. :D Apologies for the length (~6 minutes), it ended up kind of long. I like the pacing at this tempo...

Did a third mix, I cut some low-end and messed with levels, bunch of other little things. Not figuring out the eq so I'm just ducking the guitar and synths under the vocal now. :) Warning: boring drums still, I haven't got to them yet.
