    having problem with vocal sitting well on different systems

    here's my problem. I have panned several thing left and right (hard) and what not, and left the vocal smack dab in the center. it sounds great and at the right levels on my monitors, even in my car, but then listening in headphones the vocal isn't very loud at all and is sometimes lost. what...

    any EQ suggestions for bass under distorted guitars?

    I'm having trouble getting the bass to be both deep in tone and clear in the mix. I can get it clear in the monitors, but then when I try it with headphones or different systems, the bass isn't always very clear with distorted guitars. Any EQ suggestions for getting the bass to sit better in the...

    would anyone be able to add strings to an acoustic track?

    I have an acoustic track (one guitar)... the vocal isn't layed down. I'd like to add strings to it, but I don't know how. If someone here would like to give it a shot, it would be much appreciated - but all I could offer in return is a pat on the back, credit on the CD, and my undying love. I...

    mixing is my bane

    I got the tracks recorded nicely... but I can't seem to get them to sound good together... even with EQ. Any tips for stemming the frustration that has occured? What do you do when you feel like you can't get anything done? Any good websites to read on mixing? =(

    doesn't auto tune sort of defeat the purpose?

    I recently acquired it... and have played with it, and it can be fun to get a certain effect on some vocals, but I wouldn't want to use it past that... like to fix a pretty bad vocal. I don't know, I just feel like it's cheating. If you can't sing it like that live, you shouldn't be singing it...

    an experiment: no chorus, no hook, still catchy?

    I have written at least 300 songs... so I figured I knew the basics... so I wanted to break the rules and write a song that just kept moving forward. No chorus, no hook, not repetitive, not much organization. I get bored writing the same old stuff, so I try to make everything completely...

    I'm going for this... so I did this... how does this sound?

    ok... what I am going for is a weezer, everclear, queen, white stripes distorted guitar sound. I want distortion, but I don't want it overwhelming and harsh... I want it smooth... and I want it to blend nicely like the bands I listed. here's what I did: 1.put a shure sm57 right up on the...

    found this website... is it any good?

    http://www.orange-fields.com/widepages/wideasleeprec.html has info on mic placement, eq'ing and shit... seems reasonable. some things are more effective than others like the EQ info, rather than some of the placement info.
