This friend of mine named Ben Marcum asked me if I would "produce" and play on some tunes, he wanted me to record and mix as well but due to the limbo state of my bands equipment-we used his dads studio and his dad is doing most of the engineering and mixing so far. We usually learn the...

Inspired by FenderLickin posting up his old stuff-I found this in the archives. Recorded many moons ago-the day after the Tyson Holyfield fight(when he bit his ear) on a yamaha 4 track. Drum machine and real drums, a tv track some movie quotes (Network)-finger piano guitar cheapo keyboard-bass...

Here's my submission to the latest challenge. No vocals yet. Recording notes: 5 mics on the drums; 57-snare, beta 52 kick,a pair of oktava 319's overhead(using the tubedude mic method(about 3 stick lengths up)) and akgc4000 as the room mic. guitars-strat-marshall-sm57 bass-direct to tascam...

I dont even want to say how long we've been working on this project, but it's finally in the finishing touches phase. I've just gotta let the other band members, and you guys, critique a mix or 2-and we'll print some up-let em collect dust in the basement etc. etc. Ok-I've got 2 tunes up...

Here's a mix I did last night-Not too sure about it today...I'll be back on this late tonight-so give me your mix thoughts. Obvious things I hear: All vocals could come up a notch(though some of the backgrounds are kinda ugly)--I think the L1-maximizer contributed to this-When I try to get some...

This is probably better asked in the mixing/mastering forum but...oh well- My problem is LOW VOLUME MIXES!--we're talking at about -18 to -20db rms average when analyzed in wavelab! By the time I limit these suckers up to a max of about -13 to -12 db average the mix doesnt really resemble the...

Been mixing like a madman all week-got a whole album pretty much mixed and "mastered". So--I'll start with the worst first lol-Meaning-I think the mix is pretty good, but this is a song I had high hopes for when I came up with the music, then I turned it over to the singer...Most of the time our...

Kind of a wierd tune here-It was probably more fun to record than it is to listen to. A few percussion things in here-egg-tambourine-djembe(hard to hear)-frog. I promise to put up a rock song one of these days. www.nowhereradio.com/ultra/singles

Just mixed this today. Ran it through wavelab for the 5 minute "master" job-i mght have messed it up a bit...the vocals sound a bit "brain dartish". A few recording notes- -first drum recording with my new oktava mc012 mics(stereo overheads) -drum part took 3 weeks-but he played a real nice...

Heres something from 16-bit land-Drums tracked to a tascam da-38-then transferred to cakewalk-where the other parts where added...It took me a pretty long time to get the mix to this point-and I'll be mixing this week-so let me know what you hear--I think its sounding pretty good-though i may...

Heres an epic of a tune...this is more or less a rough mix-There's alot to listen for in this one-harmonica-banjo-bowed guitar-hand drums....any recording-arrangement-mixing-song critiques welcome...Enjoy! www.nowhereradio.com/ultra/singles

Well-I probably shouldnt post this -but I work 16 hrs every saturday and just did it out of boredom i guess...The song is called ressurected--This is a very rough mix! Just a work cd i had with me and ran through wavelab-to polish up a bit. I apologize ahead for the drums-we plan on re-doing...

Ok heres another tune I've been working on-This is a basic "push fader" mix-nothing has been eq'd except vocals. http://ultratheband.com/dazegobye.mp3 Enjoy!

Well my second batch of cakewalk recordings is getting near done, just thought I'd throw up a work mix for some second opinions. I'll wait till I get some real hard critiques before I start making excuses :)-- http://ultratheband.com/loveandwar.mp3 One of those evil love song things.....

My first stop in the drum forum-maybe you guys can offer some advice. Where to start...My drummer is driving me bonkers-he has been for years actually-His 2 big problems: 1) he is a speed up drummer-and I mean big-time-every beat is a little faster than the last,every change in the song is...

Heya folks- Check out this tune and tell me if you hear any problems; are the vocals too sibilant? Do the keyboard parts distract from the song? Is the stereo spread about right? Any help or comments would be appreciated. The link http://ultratheband.com Scroll down to "twisting in the...

While I was mixing last night-I was referencing an Rem album,(Green) while this isnt the greatest sounding album going-I did notice as with most of the things I refernce against-the biggest difference is the high end on EVERYTHING!-Not only cymbals-but guitars and especially bass guitar and kick...

OK-Ive got a tmd-1000 which I TDIF into cakewalk - Pent4 -Its been a large learning curve-but I'm kinda getting the hang of it all. Luckily, one of the guys in my band has more than a little cash to spare, and hes looking at a dm-24. Me being the frugal one(and the one who has to learn new...

Heya-My bandmates and I bought the package deal with said mixer-Da-38 recorder and tascam cd burner. Before buying this equipment my experience was limited to 4trks. I feel like I know just enough to get by with this equipment, and have been fairly happy with the results: www.ultratheband.com...

Heya folks-here's a little ditty me and a drummer friend-whipped up. Bass and drums recorded live to tascam da-38, and then i added guitars. The tune was done as a kind of joke but people seem to like it. http://www.ultratheband.com/bomberrun.mp3
