i know now what you mean by its pitchy and confusing, I wrote this in 30 minutes and tried to do the high C after midnight haha. As my voice professor always says, needs more support.
But excuses aside,
as far as eq, theres just a low and high pass, as well as a little bump on 10 k (the guy...
Im using a 332k conversion. But it is a free program, so theres no telling if thats true.
And really? I thought the bass was almost too loud. I guess it has to do with my room again, I need to fabricate some paneling soon.
So this is my first time mixing with vocals, I have both a scream as well as high rock vocals in it.
I seem to have a lot of trouble making the vocals sound forward enough, but I think that could be due to the concrete industrial style of my apartment, and the echoes there of.
Anyway, if...
thanks! I honestly just adjusted bass and guitar volume for different sections. No other automated effects.
I'm trying to do some research on automating eq for vocal entry and exit so it all sits nicely.
I have 3 days to add vocals to the song before my trial period runs out.
Its actually the 10 day trial to EZ drummer, Im making as much music as I can in 10 days to make an album for kick starter so that I try to raise money for studio monitors, drum software, etc.
maybe in 5 years or so Ill be able to own a full drum set and mic it up.
It was all direct, since I don't have a good room to record in and I won't till I can move into a place I'm not just renting so I can drill in some acoustic treatment.
nor the money yet for any of the high end stuff.
and yea, it's not finished, but I'm glad to see at least the parts Ive laid...
So I just finished this song, and I can't decide if (or where) I would want to add lead guitar/strings/ atmospheric stuff to it
I plan to add vocals but I want to do that once the instrumental part is completely down.
What do y'all think.
Also how is the mix, my monitoring equipment isn't...
So this is my first time using lepou or any free wares for that matter. The guitar used was a schecter hotrod 39 with a GFS Power rail in the bridge.I have recently changed the strings, but I found out after putting them on, that the music store sold me D'addario jazz strings instead of regular...
In any case since other forums I've asked tell me the POD completely capable,
would you guys mind if I posted sounds and maybe you can help me make it sound better?
I'm really surprised by the amount of negative feedback I'm getting by this. Because so much of the community will tell you "chuck the POD, its shit and you'll never get anywhere near good with it." or "it's harsh and a digital fad that sounds terrible."
Is it bad for me to want to improve...
That was it! I borrowed my friends bass and it worked like a charm.
This isn't the first time Ive had a problem with using something in Kontakte, its made my computer crash several times. Guess i'll just stay away from it from now on.
yea, I did that a little bit ago. I'm convinced at this point its the software I use for bass guitar.
Ill try to make another recording of the same song but borrow my friends bass guitar and see how that pans out
It could be my bass track.
I can't afford a bass so I'm using Native Instruments free factory selection in Kontakte. It might be messing up during the rendering.
So right now I'm a college student at a music university, and Im trying to build my own studio to record my friends and I. Anyway I'm already maxed out in my credit hours and working a small job to help pay for food/gas. What are some ways I can afford more studio gear.

Specifically, and...
I turned the master bus off, and set it to 24 bit, and though the bass boost wasn't as extreme as with it on, it was definitely there. so it seems that theres a rendering bass boost coming from something else,
and the multi band from the master bus is making it worse.
I don't know why its 64 fp, thats just what it set to. Im not sure what it even means.
and Idk about the stereo widener, I just used it experimenting one day and liked how it sounded.
and I use a volume boost because I always hear everyone say that you should record at -18 dB, so I do. so...
