    Did I over mix this?

    I've been working on this one for awhile and I can't tell if I did too much. I kept juicing it and juicing it and now I can't tell if it's just a jumbled muddy mess or the lyrics are even intelligible. I definitely need some more ears on it. Thanks in advance for any critiques...

    I Said Yes

    Well this was a harsh awakening so I decided to remix the entire song taking everything you said into account. The woodblock was a live snare I recorded just hitting the rim so I left that, but I replaced the kick, snare and cymbals. I'm still not happy with the clarity on the bass, but I'd love...

    I Said Yes

    It took me a little over a year to complete the recording of this song as I heard it in my head. Just as a warning there are some adult-oriented lyrics in this song, but it is very tongue in cheek. I am looking for any feedback on the balance of the instruments - there are quite a few and it was...

    Home Again

    Just looking for any feedback on this mix... my ears are fatigued so I figured this was a good stopping point.

    Walkin' Around

    Thanks. That's all just the drummer - I think I only lined up one kick and snare hit on the intro and that was manual. Honestly the complex drumming throws me off sometimes live as I come from more of a pop and rock background, but this is just for fun more than anything else. But yeah I didn't...

    Walkin' Around

    Is this better? I took all of your suggestions and combined them. There is a lot more low end as far as bass and kick go, but of course the more low end you add the more of a balancing act it is. Hopefully this sounds better. I wouldn't call this 50s or rockabilly. Maybe if there was more...

    Walkin' Around

    I've been posting songs from my upcoming record for mix advice recently, but this one is from a band I just joined. I did write, sing and play on this one too though. It's been awhile since I've worked with a band in this capacity so I'd really appreciate any feedback you might have. It's...

    The Way That You Move [Rock]

    I need some fresh ears on this - I'm having a really difficult time mixing this song and I'd really appreciate any criticism at all.

    Looking for Kooks-esque guitar on an original song

    Hey all, I'm looking for a Kooks-esque lead electric guitar sound like on their song "She Moves In Her Own Way", but for an original song of mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pquhYpGHrlw If you want to take a crack at it I've uploaded the song with a scratch vocal at...

    Has anyone paid a mixing engineer?

    If so - how did you find him or her and how did it go? I'm thinking about paying someone to mix my new record and while I know the end result will be worth it I don't know if I'd rather spend the money on promotion (this being my first solo effort) or the mix. I suspect the answer is the mix. I...

    Looking for a banjo player for a folk/pop/americana type song

    I'm looking for a banjo player that can record a rhythm track like on The Avett Brothers' "Live and Die", except on an original song. I'm willing to compensate you for it.

    Electronic classical Hawaiian pop country rock

    Probably the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Alright I rolled off the bottom end on the bass until I couldn't take it, so there's still a substantial amount of bottom end (probably more than was recommended, but I love it). I lowered the pitch, volume and changed the attack on the...

    Electronic classical Hawaiian pop country rock

    I wrote this song and aside from a few percussive instruments I think I'm done recording it. I just need some ears on it to let me know if the vocals are balanced. I am pushing it as far as the bottom end is concerned, but it's where I want it to be. Any other thoughts would be very welcome. I'm...

    Anyone play pedal steel guitar?

    I've been searching far and wide for a pedal steel guitarist to add a solo to a song - it's the last bit of the song that's missing.

    Can't Feel My Face (Country)

    Live acoustic and two vocals

    There's bleed on the tracks. Not sure if male vocal is too sibilant - will listen again in morning. Can you understand the words clearly? Is it too airy? Does acoustic envelope the vocals? Used a studio projects b1 on the female, sm7 on male, and oktava mk012 on the acoustic. Did a little bit...

    What have I done?

    I have been working on mixes for a few days and most mixes are fine, but on one or two sessions I am now getting terrible distortion - it appears as if the entire mix is limited to a specific volume... say I put the master volume at -6dB... the mix won't go above -6dB, it will just distort the...

    Live in-studio, lots of bleed over in the mics...

    Hey - it's been awhile since I posted. I don't know if there's much more I can do to this mix, but I'd love to hear any suggestions or comments. We did it live in one room, two acoustic guitars, two voices... just like back in the day. Lots of bleed over in the mics. Let me know if you hear...
