I certainly agree that the acoustic guitars are unnecessarily loud and present.

Any thoughts?

Here's a song I produced. Looking for feedback on mixing/mastering. See attached. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! I know it's not perfect but I always want to learn more and get better.

Hello all, I'm having serious issues with both of my Tascam interfaces (a US-1800 and US-200) since I built a new rig, and I am desperate for ideas on how to get them working again. The issue sounds very similar, if not identical, to the one mentioned here: Help with US-1800 | TASCAM Forums...

I'm a computer type, and thus most of my computers run some variant of GNU/Linux. One of the only reasons my desktop still runs Windows is because I do some studio stuff sometimes and am accustomed to DAWs that are Windows-only (e.g. Cubase), plus my USB audio interfaces (Tascam) have little or...

Hello once again! I have received some truly great advice from this forum in the past, and I'm back for more. This is a new song I've been working on with my band, and I think I've made a much better initial mix than I was able to a year ago when I did an album. This time it's even more...

Hello everyone... I have been working with audio for a few years now, and this is my second album project that I've worked on. Both projects were for bands that I am a part of. The first band was Another Step Further in case you're curious. This new one is a bit different, with some Mumford and...

Hello, I am working on mixing an album for my band. I feel like it sounds okay, but terrible in comparison to other songs. Here is a relatively unfinished mix of one of the songs (no vocals have been recorded yet either) but I need some suggestions for things to do with all of the instruments. I...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54393172/ASF/Sample.mp3 I posted this over in a different section, but was told it would get more response here. This is a sample from my band's self recorded album in progress. The guitars and vocals here are not final, but I would like advice on the sound of the...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54393172/ASF/Sample.mp3 This is a sample from my band's self recorded album in progress. The guitars and vocals here are not final, but I would like advice on the sound of the individual instruments and the mix as a whole. I'm still training my ears; what do I need to...

I'm borrowing my friend's bass for a while, and it's a fender starcaster j-bass. I am using it for recording some stuff, but I can't figure out which pickup configuration sounds best. There is a separate knob for each pickup. I'm a guitar player, and my logic concerning pickups on guitar doesn't...

Whenever I try to record drums, I can essentially hear the entire kit through the snare mic, and somewhat the tom mics. This makes compression near impossible because it ends up making the background noise just as loud as the snare. Do I need to turn down the mic gain, or is it not really a...

I'm still trying to get a good mic'd sound out of a cab. I'm happy with the distortion tone that the mic is picking up, for the most part. Whatever I record, there is a noticeable wooshing sound at about 2.3khz. This happens with any mic or placement I use (f5 or SM58), and it is audible...

I'm in a band called Another Step Further, from the suburbs of Chicago. We are mainly influenced by Rise Against, along with others like Bad Religion. Our latest single is called Silence of Submission, and you can listen to it If you like it, then "like" our bandpage! Another Step Further |...

Hey, I'm having a bit of trouble getting a good electric guitar (distortion) sound through my mics. I'm using 3 different mics, and I've tried all the different positions that all the guides give you. Yet something just sounds wrong with it. The mics are the Audix f5, Shure SM58, and an AT2050...

Hello everyone, I got Cubase LE5 a week ago and I'm pretty familiar with DAW recording in general. I love how the automation can do anything; however I am having issues with it misbehaving. Say I have some automation set for one of my sends on a particular track, to enable/disable it. Read is...

Today my parents are taking me to guitar center to get me a condenser mic as a Christmas present. I've been looking at a bunch of mics online and in other threads, but I have no clue what I need. I think my price range will be under $200, but I can probably convince my parents to go a bit...

For using plugins such as delay and reverb, everyone always says to send it to a Group FX bus. What are the huge advantages to doing it this way? I have put delay/reverb on the tracks, and tried this, and I don't really get what the difference is (besides being able to apply it to multiple...

Hello, I was recently in a studio where the guy was using Cubase. I recently purchased it to replace my old software, and am starting to get the hang of it. I read most of the pdf manual, but there's one thing I still can't figure out. The guy I was watching would be able to somehow stretch...
