    vocal/horns funk tune mixing feedback

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. I haven't been able to touch the mix in a while since I've been working diligently on other projects. I'll try to get at it this week! It was all recorded with a computer, but this is a live take minus the vocals/tambourine, vocal harmonies, and the claps.

    vocal/horns funk tune mixing feedback

    Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. Maybe just add a touch of reverb on a few of the instruments and vocals?

    vocal/horns funk tune mixing feedback

    Hey all. Tracked this tune back in December and spent a good couple months dubbing/editing/mixing. Not the entire time, of course, as we're working on other tunes. Looking for some feedback on the mix here. This is a live track minus the vocals, claps, tambourine, and organ. Drums were...

    Still Me

    This is a fucking awesome song man. I think it's got a ton of potential! The mix sounds a little too mono to me. The instrument tones are all fairly dandy. Maybe some clever panning would make it sound a little more full. The vocals are very up front. Maybe set them back a bit. Pan out...

    Listen to the Rhythm (Trance 2.0)

    Hey gary. I really liked the mix. As an EDM fan I personally would love to hear a bit more oomph out of the kick (the lower register between 50Hz and 100Hz). The mix is really solid. I'm sure on a big club system it sounds incredible!!!

    Funk tune mixing feedback

    I'm still pretty fresh when it comes to mixing horns, so I'm looking for some feedback there. I decided to squash them a bit and put a little reverb on it. Drums Kick: Sennheiser e602 II Snare: SM57 top and bottom Hihat: MXL991 Toms: Sennheiser e609(?) OH: Rode NT5 Room: CAD M179 mono Horns...

    How to achieve zero-latency monitoring with Firepod + HP60?

    Thanks for the info. However -- I'm not sure this will work completely. The outputs on the back of the Firepods are to be assigned by the DAW. They aren't hooked up to the same "mix" knob on the front of the Firepod. Meaning, Input 1 does not necessarily go to Output 1. It has to go to the...

    Mesa Boogie Lonestar Classic reverb issue

    Hi all, I was hoping someone out there would be able to help me out in fixing my reverb on my Lonestar Classic. When a guitar is plugged directly into the amp, I get no reverb. The tank is fine (tested in other amps), RCA cables are good (tried another pair of cables), and I even tried...

    How to achieve zero-latency monitoring with Firepod + HP60?

    So, I picked up a PreSonus HP60 on the Bay for cheap. However, after thinking about how to make this work, I have to send the output of my DAW (Adobe Audition 3) to the outs on the FP10, then back into the HP60. However, in doing this, I get the slightest bit of lag. My PC can't handle...

    At what point do you start (or stop) making the band sound better than they are?

    I wouldn't say that we are in disagreement anymore. To be honest, it doesn't make a lick of difference to me where we record now. As I said, money is real tight right now. I am guessing we have around $1750 in the bank. We have several tours lined up for the summer, and with gas prices going...

    At what point do you start (or stop) making the band sound better than they are?

    Thanks for the responses so far everyone. There was sort of an ulterior motive to my original post. I currently play in a funk band. I was responsible for recording our last CD. This CD was a hodge-podge of live takes and dubbed in takes over the course of a year. It started out before I...

    At what point do you start (or stop) making the band sound better than they are?

    I guess being an engineer makes me a little more critical than the average Joe. I pay attention way more to a recording now than I ever have in my life. :)

    At what point do you start (or stop) making the band sound better than they are?

    Thanks everyone for the insights so far. I am mostly worried that a band's poor performing abilities may affect how other local acts see me as a studio. I don't want them to listen to a track I recorded and think it's trash only because the band performed it, thus, giving them a poor outlook...

    starting a project?

    Below are all personal opinions and points. I'm still somewhat amateur myself but have been in the studio for a few years now. 1) What to you guys usually do when you begin a new project either personal, or with another artist? With personal projects, I usually start out with some sort of...

    Mastering test: need advices

    Hey man sounds great in my opinion. I'm listening with my Bose Triports right now. Sound reminds me of "the Swingin' Utters". I think it sounds fabulous...

    At what point do you start (or stop) making the band sound better than they are?

    I have a dilemma. Most of my clients right now aren't the best musicians (still getting started), and I want them to be satisfied with my recordings. However, I feel that some musicians have a false sense of what it takes to make a good record, especially artists who have never been in a...
