I got a second mix done, guitars panned wider, one of them scrapped, and I did some eq to carve out some space for the vocal. I think it's better, maybe not a silver bullet but improved. Other random stuff like making the ancestor voices clearer. I couldn't hear the hi hat distortion but I did...

Hi guys- this is a sort of prog(kind of?) rock piece about an officer in the army of Julius Caesar, during his civil war. Give me your impressions, help me improve the mix please. :) Thanks! Mix 1: Mix 2: Mix 3: Mix 4:

Hi all- sorry this is a little off-topic for the sub but I couldn't figure out a better place for it. Browsing soundcloud on my phone today, noticed an ad in between songs. Not an audio ad thank god but just a popover I had to dismiss. It was annoying. Is this a new thing or have I just...

Think I got things addressed. I ended up doing an eq notch/boost to get the vocals to come through the synths/guitars. It's not night and day but it's better. Spent a lot of time figuring that one out, I'm gonna have to try out some dynamic eq instead next project. . . (mix 2)

Hi all- hoping you can help me iron out any issues with this one before I put it on Soundcloud. Songwise, sort of a departure from what I usually do, hoping it's going a good direction. I used "Helena Beat" as reference. Thanks in advance! (original) (mix 2)

Hi all- TV on the Radio's singer always has this great edge to his voice. I'd like to get my own vocal to have an edge like his. You think it's some eq, exciter, something that's just natural? Here's a good example ("ambulance"): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UFY4zSVrjDo Thanks in advance!

Okay I think I'm starting to get that warm punch I was looking for. Maybe overdid it a little but hell I love a fat drum n bass. I've been able to address some of the issues but the drum stuff eludes me still. I brought the second guitar back, I like it to a fault maybe. I think the lifeless...

Okay, I think I got some of the issues sorted, drum levels, no more chipmunk sound lol, no more dipping on the lead vox, fixed some reverbs. I think I got a bit more difference between verse/chorus but admittedly not a whole lot, still figuring that out. Big thing is I redid lead vox. Also...

Trying a few new things on this one, please have a listen and share notes. Thanks guys! :D Current version: Old versions:

Okay, I think I got just about everything in except the extra part in the last verse (the one without lyrics or anything in it). Sadly, there is no sidechain on the multipressor (groan) so I just used eq as I could. I think this is improved. . . Also, turns out I didn't have a doubler on, it...

Hi all- got a rock song this time. Lots of fun making this one, let me know what improvements you have in mind. It sounds good to me but I've been drinking. Thanks! It's about a jaded semi-rockstar.

Awesome song man! I wanted so bad to put some huge reverb on the snare but I held back because it is not 1985 anymore. . . :D

I like it really dry and hissy, sounds like an old blues recording. :) Did a little transient shaping to give the strings a little extra snap and separated the image a bit.

Woah tons of distortion in the one I did. Sorry about that, I'm getting used to my monitors. . . should have listened on phones too. Edit: this one has less distortion.

Here's my attempt. I'm not a real experienced mixer just getting some practice in. . . I'll have to listen to the other guys' mixes now and see how far off the deep end I went. :drunk:

Same song "Search and Destroy", two mixes. Iggy Pop's: https://open.spotify.com/track/00sydAz6PeOxYzwG1dRIPi David Bowie's: https://open.spotify.com/track/4vhTm7eeqJAW4Iq3grUutI Which do you prefer? Would either pass muster in the clinic? Hard to tell what effect mastering had on each I know...

Hi all- I love logic pro x but recently I've been getting pretty heavy with plugins and I seem to have hit a cpu wall. I have a dual core i5 and it works really well but whatever I put in the master channel goes on one cpu thread and the thread just ends up getting overwhelmed and logic starts...

Hello all- been working on this for a long time to get it where I like it, but it really came together when Robus contributed his fabulous bass and guitar skills. :D Sarah's on the mic, I did odds and ends. Thanks for listening and offering advice...

Here's a bounce with some piano. If you think it could work I can do a better version and send you the bare track.

In the past I've started with a drum track and worked to get it just right and then added a bass and tried to get it just right and then I add the guitar and get it just right. . . ad nauseum. I'm doing a song now where it's more round-robin: I start with a scratch drum, add a scratch...
