Sure, no problem. Another trick you can try instead of double tracking is to just duplicate your vocal in your DAW, and eq it a bit to blend in with your original track. Helps to keep from getting that phasey sound.

There is a whole lot going on at the same time, and whole lot of it is crowding the mid range freqs. You need to address that, and take some of the harshness out of the track. Other than that, it's a fairly catchy tune. Oh, and take that effect off your lead vocal. It's fine for small passages...

Yeah, has a bit of Harrison and some Lennon thrown in. My only complaint is your player on your site doesn't allow me to adjust the volume. I am listening on a laptop and headphones and had to pull them off my ears. It's a bit too loud. But I agree this is a great song and very good production...

Holy shit! Metallica meets the Munsters... very cool. I can't say a thing that ain't been said, so I won't.... :D

Ah hah! That's how you got the track so much louder than I did. As far as the bass goes, I high pass filtered it the same as the rest of the instruments. I compressed it at about 9:1, then I boosted at 1000Hz. I added a guitar distortion plugin and boosted the gain. Lastly, just to make things...

For the kick, I put a noise gate on it to take out the transients it was picking up from the rest of the kit, then it was a small (1.4 dB) boost at 80Hz, and a pretty good one at 300HZ (2.6dB) using Reaper's eq. I put it through Reaper's compression with a 2 to 1 ratio and the makeup gain set at...

Avoid using harmonic exciters and such on your tracks. They tend to ruin them. Depend on getting it right at the tracking stage. And don't get sucked into the 'louder is better' mode of thinking. Louder only equals distorted, near-white-noise tracks that fatigue the ear instead. I gave your...

Two words: vocal coach. Made a world of difference to me. What I am hearing from you is a lack of confidence that is showing through. That, along with some more time learning how to mix properly will go a long way. It was already stated, but 90% of a good mix is the performance.

Ok, here's mine. If I keep tweaking, it's going to start going in the wrong direction, so here it is: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=28794 It's not great, I haven't mixed anything for awhile, but it's there. Thank you for the opportunity to do this. It was fun mixing something...

Nice mix. The vocals are a bit wet, but I understand why. I think we went for the same sound with this one. The only difference is the guitar panning. I think I will switch mine around and see what I come up with. Oh, and I went for the 80's long fade out at the end (this song is from the 80's...

The vocal issues aside, it's not turning into a bad mix afterall. I do have a bit of a problem with your placement of the overheads, but you had already addressed that. Things I was able to fix: I don't have a snare panned to the left. It's dead in the middle. I beefed up the bass and got...

Thanks, I'll let you know as soon as I have something workable to show you.

I have about given up on recording. I lost all my gear in a robbery, and it took the gas out of me. So now I am focusing on 3D art and animation. See the last few pages of the old new rep point thread... I get on here for a few days and then disappear for months at a time.

I have Reaper on my laptop, and my nearfield monitors, which are brand new... I would rather have the .wav files or 320kbps mp3 to mix with. I understand it would just be an exercise, but I am bored to tears and need something to do rather than going out drinking myself to death. A couple of...

Oh my god, I'm seeing a ghost. Of course I have been gone for nearly nine months too. Good to see you again, Norman.

I don't have anything going on right now as far as mixing. I am stuck in a hotel in San Deigo until probably October. If you don't mind, I would love to take a stab at mixing this. I could PM you my email address if you agree. I think I could fix the overhead problem. Sizzly cymbals usually...

Serious trance possiblities here. Really cool idea, but it just proves you have too much time on your hands... lol. Nice job Steve.

The singing isn't bad at all, but the mix has a lot of issues. First of all, it's coming at me as almost mono. The bass is too strong in the mix and has too much bottom end to it. There are other things, but I would be nit-picking if I went on. Everall, the mix needs a lot of work. The cymbals...

I keep getting the chinese version of the page and don't know how to get to the english version. Pissing me off...

I am sorry, I guess it's the internet provider I am stuck with here in the Philippines, but I can only get this thing downloading at about 16kbps. That means that each file will take me about 3 to 4 hours to download. That's a bit too much for me. I will attempt this when I can get in a better...
