Grohl a drumming God? Oh ofcourse no way. Steady, heavy hitter? YES! The drummer from Disturbed has better foot work. But Grohl is WAY more tasteful. Niether drummer is what I would call hall of fame worthy. (Rush, Dream Theater, etc) Grohl is the current overall rock king at the moment, no...

Update on last night's Gig: The first song of the gig was "Seperate Ways". I SWEAR my left arm (I play left handed) was totally numb and felt like it was going to fall off after the first chorus. I was almost in a panic. Luckily I kept my game face on, took a bunch of slow deep breaths (during...

wow, thanks for the replies guys!! shit!! now ive been up all night with the butterflies, I have to get some frickin rest!! I'll look into the sticky stuff at my local Guitar Center today. I dont drink but I think I'll have half a beer before I go on stage to relax me. "Whad'ya mean? His parts...

Thanks for bringing me back to earth on this. True, I'm there to play the music first. Good points. :)

Here's some real advice, I'm just a newbie but some of this should be common sense. It would seem you're a dj throwing down some electronic dance jams right? I'm in the older crowd, but don't they call this doing a "rave" or something similar? Anyway, since it seems you just want some local...

I listened to your "first real song" selection. The chording is fairly standard but I personally love that chord structure. It always lends it self to a good verse/loud chorus combination. You have good tone and good overall sound going. There is still some mixing issues but I don't think you...

!@#$% Now I've gone and done it! I jam from time to time with other musicians but havn't played a real gig (on drums) in over 20 years! About 3 weeks ago a local band asked if I could sit in on a "small gig" for them. It's mostly music from "Journey" so the drumming skills aren't the problem...

Seriously, If you care for her as a person, look her in the eyes and say "I need to find someone who can help you". Cut her loose... Or if you're in it for the money, get her to sign you as her manager as soon as possible.

Everything I've read tells me to record each track as hot as possible without clipping and then after all tracks are recorded as audio start the mixing process. Your stereo mix should leave some headroom for mastering.

First off record the song live as a reference track. Two Guitar Players: Record each guitar player, twice. Pan guitar player 1's tracks hard left/right. Pan guitar player 2's tracks not quite hard left/right. Problem solved, Phat guitar sounds! :)

re: Track 3 Any song with actual vocals with words should have the vocals up front, anything less is frustrating to the listener.

Wow, excellent mix. I would like to hear a mastered/limited version. I wonder where it would fit in on a music radio station? It FOR SURE has teen movie soundtrack all over it or possibly a sitcom tune. Consider pitching it to the movie/show studios.

Hi Malcom. GOOD reply! That makes sense. Since I'm just interested in making my own mixes sound better it would appear I'm on the right path. In the future when my budget supports it, I'll research the tools you suggested. Thanks again for the explanation. Robert, thank you for your comments...

Hey Malcom. I hope you don't mind a further q/a based on your comments. :) "I would get a seperate software app for recording and editing. Something like Cool Edit pro, Wavelab, soundforge, etc. I would use the processing tools that come with these programs and learn a little more about how...

Hi Malcom, I do all mixdown/editing in Cakewalk Proaudio 9.x. So plug ins need to be Direct-X compatible. Any suggestions? Thanks...

Wow, a year later and you still havn't purchased your new mixer! :) I feel sorry for you when it comes time to get married, or buy a new car or house, etc. :) LOL!! I read all the replies here. Based on your comments and others I would run and go buy the Spirit M12 from here: "Give Joel Pare...

I've been researching alot of mastering tools, comments, reviews, etc. and almost everything boils down to a few specific tools: Multi band compression. Brick wall limiting. Some kind of digital "warmer". Stereo enhancements, etc. Mastering Reverbs. For my particular budget I'm seriously...

By the way, I'm working on the complete tune and will post a un-mastered version for you guys to play with and a version that I mastered myself. It won't be up for a while though. :)

Hey Tekker, Jeesh! That mix kicked ass on my little pc speakers, thought I heard some clipping though?!?! I'm going to burn to a cd soon and take another listen. Thanks for the breakdown on the tricks/techniques you used, cool stuff!

Hmmm..or you could be know as .... well, I won't spell it out, but if you pronounce your user name backwards (moskus) it kind of sounds like..... LOL!!!! :) Sorry, I couldn't resist!!! Hopefully you'll get a kick out of it! :)
