Just for something different...I'd recommend taking a look at the Lindell Audio 7X-500 series FET compressor - a take-off of the 1176. They are priced at a pretty low price point, a little more than 200 ($299) and you need a luchbox (which they sell cheap as well) but IMO, you will end up with...

I agree that there is no "best" anything. That being said, and budget aside, if I need a pitch shift/chorus, I'm going with Eventide H3000.

Well, mixing & tracking require 2 different types of headphones. Headphones used for Mixing (although not the best way to mix) are open or semi-open back while tracking you want closed back. I use Beyerdynamic dt 880 when mixing (albeit I mainly use monitors as my main listening source) and...

Have them they are okay. No "better or worse" than any of the emulations out there IMO. If you are reaching for a plug in because of a perceived sound then IMO you've already missed it.

Yeah, all may be true but a guy can dream can't he. Don't want to completely crush the buzz. :D I don't think there's anything wrong with aspiring to sound/play like one of the best and Bonham is not a bad choice to try to emulate (just not easy). Every time I sit behind my kit, Bonham is the...

John Bonham's sound starts with him. Since you ain't him (nor is anyone else) you're already at a disadvantage Follow that with drum gear selection and tuning. Bonham tuned his drums remarkably high. Here,s a video that describes the drums (this case his green sparkle Ludwig kit), cymbals...

Look at a pair of JBL LSR-305 (~$300pair). They are a little more than your budget but more than worth saving extra for. I just bought a pair for a small mixing rig I use at home (away from my main studio) and I can't believe the sound and how well they translate. They will definitely get the...

At the end of the day when you sit back and listen to the undertones of the "documentary" it is clearly just anther Dave Grohl rant about how much pro tools sucks and ultimately caused the end of all things good.

Thanks for taking the time to reply...I completely get what you are saying. the raw guitar tracks were really over distorted and muddy so cleaning that up resulted in the way they sound now. Need more work but it's a start..

steffeeH, I greatly appreciate your time and feedback. I did not record the song; the Drum overhead tracks had problems and was left with just room mics (which sounded really good). So I get what you're saying about ambient feel. Will work that next pass of the mix. Thanks again..

No silver bullet answer to getting good drums. How do the drums sound in the room? If they don't sound good standing/listening in the room then they will not ever sound good in the mix. Drummer, room mic placement get you good sounding drums. Not sure of your setup but you can get good...

Would greatly appreciate you feedback on this mix. The song is called Stitch up by Bobby Nobody. Like the tune could use your prospective. Thanks

Dude, the fact that you are willing to go though all this...take the time to feel better.

These are on my short list: Dynaudio Acoustics BM15A. A bit more but worth saving for

Thanks it was a fun song to mix. You have a lot of mixes posted here with varying approaches. Hope you've found this process helpful. As for the low end rumble there is a bit in the bass track but hey... that's rock-n-roll :D

OK now this is definitely it - the final mix. ;) All feedback welcome and appreciated.

Best snare drum mic hands down is a telefunken M80. Try one you won't be sorry.

Seeking - this is about it...I didn't have time to replace the drums but I did work the bass guitar and the chunk guitars. Bass may still be a little heavy but it sounds pretty good, holds the song together and kicks a bit of ass. I added an Eventide H3000 (doubler to round out the vocals) on...

I added a bass track amp room simulator and don't have the original and new track exactly working. What I mean by the static mix comment is that I just set all the faders and there is no automation going on at all. I recognize the EZ drummer snare. I have better sounding samples and if I get...
