Nuh-uh! Are you serious? I did not know. Here in Vermont, unlike a lot of places, you can call sprinkles "jimmy's", so I guess it has rubbed off. :D

If only I had a jew harp and a U87 . . . darn! [snaps fingers]

Very good mix, but my first impression is the snare is too weak for the style. I think you need something more robust: punchy, yet sits tightly in the mix and not up front. I don't know if that is something worth fixing for you; it might not matter, but for future reference, I think your style...

Hey Lee! Very very very nice mixes. There is a nice fullness of the mixes that encompasses the entire frequency spectrum that is very pleasing to the ears. Based on the style, I think you've done a fine job: the guitars and bass are SOLID, synth has a good fit and the vox sit well, too...

I agree, I always mix down to a wav file, then I convert it to MP3 in Wavelab.

I'm new here, but you gotta expain to me about "Walter's". Please! Ha ha!

Use your ears.

Don't be too impressed by his setup . . . . . click click . . zip zip . . . done. I'm serious, its retarded. Hey, you know what I used to do back the day? I bypassed the whole "ugly" wave thing and utilized my DUAL CASSETTE deck. Yeah baby. I popped a blank tape in the record side, cut a...

Is it me, or are the vocals too low? I listened to all 3 mixes and the vocals were slightly drowned to the point where its got to fixed.

Eh . . . its just another way to cheat having bad acoustics. Too good to be true? In a sense, but I'm sure in most cases it does "help". But I've never used it or seen it, so what do I know? LOL

Yep, sounds like everything is mono, even the guitar. The snare is "boxy", and vocals (especially the beginning spoken part) needs to be EQ'd and compressed to sit up in the mix. And everything else the guy above me said. It would help to know what kind of setup you have: computer...

Use a limiter, I think there is one included with Cubase (I never use it). Place it as an insert in the master bus/stereo out channel. There are only a few knobs for a limiter, but if you turn the threshold down, you should hear the volume rise. For a basic setting, listen to your song where...

Hey man! Well, its a start and you've delved into the world of recording and mixing! Yeah! A few suggestions - EQ first. Work with presence, especially the guitars and vocals. Be sure to take the unwanted lows out of the vocal track. - Less is more, especially in the case of the vocals...

Hey man, sounds good! A few thoughts: That bass sounds fantastic! Good job. As I see from your jpeg, there was quite a bit of effort put into it, too. The style of kick doesn't fit to my ears. To me, it still needs a litle less volume, more acoustic boom in the low end, less beater, and...

Sound replacement, that is something I have been trying my han at lately, too. How do you do it? Drumagog, or do you create a midi file from the kick track?

THAT is what I am working on. I've never tried doubling to this extent, its a really good lesson, but friggin aggravating . . . ha ha! Do you guys know anything about ducking, or any ideas on this trick? Basically, I want to duck the snare out of the overhead tracks. I can try EQ, but I...

I did this in about an hour, its kind of an experimental mix. I, too, was referencing RHCP . . . really just the drums, though. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=10839 A few thoughts: - This is a headphone mix. Sorry, the 1yr old is sleeeeeeping. - Love the snare! The bottom...

I always do 320kbps on my mixes, just to be sure I have the best quality MP3. FYI, Costco has 1TB firewire external harddrives (Western Digital) at a little over 250.00!!! Seriously, thats kick ass!
