    "Hothead" New Drums, New Mix

    Spent two nights re-doing the the drums and re-mixing this nutty tune, need a break. Something's just not right, maybe multiple things, I'm chasing my tail trying to find it. Maybe nothing's wrong, I don't know. I EQ'd all the guitars a little, they were raw in the original mix, and lowered...

    "What Does It Take"

    Hi all. This is an older recording I did back in 2005. Didn't know much about mixing back then, and not much time was spent on the mix at all. I recorded it, got the levels decent, added a little reverb, and then had it mastered. It's been on my mind recently to re-record it, everything I've...

    "Electrify" A 40 Second Instrumental

    Actually re-mixed this and re-did the drums a few weeks ago, held off posting it so I wouldn't flood the clinic too much. As always, I couldn't be more thankful for all the friendly help I've received here. You guys are great, and I've learned a lot about mixing thanks to you. I love listening...

    "Ham And Eggs" First Demo

    So this is what I've been up to the last three nights. A simple little jam we used to do live in between songs, wrote it probably 15 years ago. Always wanted to record it, never did until now. Tried some crazy mixing/recording techniques I've never done before. The mix might be all over the...

    Stereo Interface Help?

    I recently purchased ProTools and entered the world of PC recording, been using stand-alone's for years, a Tascam 2488neo and an old-school Boss BR-8 before that. With the BR-8, I would record "finished" songs through a old-school stereo interface onto my computer for "mastering" with Sound...

    "Roadstar" New Drums

    Definitely enjoying the long overdue change to ProTools from the stand-alone Tascam and Boss BR-8 that I used for years. As I'm still finishing up the lyrics for the last two songs I posted, I wanted to re-do the drums with Superior Drummer on this older song I did about two years ago. It's...

    Cymbal Panning Help In Superior Drummer!

    Hi all, I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I'm still very new to Superior Drummer, so please bear with me. It seems Superior Drummer by default has all the cymbals panned hard left and hard right. Doesn't sound horrible, but it is definitely quite noticeable in the few recordings I've...

    New Blues Recording Mix Advise/Suggestions

    This recording is actually a few months old, but recently transferred the track files to ProTools and re-did the drums with my new Superior Drummer. Definitely was a tedious time consuming project, trying to line up every hit as perfect as I could with the original track. Took me two full days...

    "Hothead" Old recording drum help

    So I've decided to put my first ProTools/Superior Drummer recording on hold for a bit, as I finish writing the lyrics. So I'm spending some time going through my group of 40 songs or so that I did on my Tascam with the old drum machine (Boss DR-770). Basically, I'm just going through the mixes...

    Green Day's vocals on Uno, Dos, and Tre. What effect/technique is that?

    It's very apparent on all three albums. Some great examples to listen to are "Oh Love", "X-Kid", "99 Revolutions", or just about anything off of their 2012 trilogy of albums. It's sounds like compression, maybe a super fast delay, maybe even some chorus, not sure. I'm going to be laying some...

    "Blue Sky Man" First Pro Tools Recording!

    Finally bought and installed Pro Tools 12 along with Superior Drummer, also bought a brand new desktop PC to run it all. Also have SoundForge Pro 10 installed. Those who are familiar with my past recordings know I was using a Tascam2488neo, and an old Boss DR-770 drum machine. Anyway, I can't...

    "Rockwood" Country Rock (sorta) Instrumental

    This is another one from my "older recordings to get mastered and be done with" list, this one recorded about a year and a half ago. As I've stated in other threads, I have dozens of these, I'm just picking a few here and there for some helpful feedback. This one is pretty cut and dry- two...

    Need some advice on a mix!

    First off, thanks to everyone who has helped me on the few other mixes I posted recently. You've all been a great help, as I don't have many other "ears" to offer advice and suggestions. Thanks and Happy Holidays. Here I have a recording I did about two years ago, but it is in the current group...

    New Recording! Need some help/feedback!

    Recently finished tracking a new song. It's somewhat simple, but there is a lot going on track-wise. I'd like to get it mastered soon, so I need some feedback on the mix. I think it sounds good, but I do have a few concerns I don't quite know how to handle. I won't say what those are yet, I want...

    "Stratosphere" Need some help/input on this crazy mix!

    Another short piece, only a little over a minute. This one is a little nuts though. It basically comes from a passage I wrote years ago, that I sometimes used as an exercise when practicing. A few months ago, I figured what the hell, and recorded it. It sounds pretty clean, but I have a few...
