    Mixing is HARD!

    I agree (mostly). Automation with a mouse is a pain. Which is the way I do it. I absolutely love having my fingers on the faders. And although automation is a big part of mixing, it's not all of mixing. There's still a lot of other stuff involved, as I know that you know. But I understand what...

    Original song The Prodigal son

    First off, nice song and singing. I don't have any thing else to add to what's already been said, but it was fun to listen to the progression of the song from the first mix. You listened to each comment and took the advice and the song benifitted from it. Now... You are really adding a lot...

    New SOng - Love to hear your comments

    Good job overall. My main issue is with the lead guitar. It just seems a little out of place and too up front. Especially in the intro it seems kind of forced.

    What is mixing and how do I do it?

    Welcome. In it's simplest form....mixing is taking individual elements and blending them to together to form one cohesive piece.

    Mixing is HARD!

    Not that it's really relevant, but automation is my least favorite thing about mixing.

    Mixing is HARD!

    I found this to be very true when I downloaded a few of the tracks from the Telefunken site and I was amazed. It sounded great with the faders up and no effects. I guess I was used to mixing my poorly recorded attempts at making music.

    Tune I am mixing

    So is there steel guitar or not? I'm confused. And you probably wouldn't want me to play steel guitar unless you want to add some suckiness to the song. :D

    Tune I am mixing

    Ok. Just listened again and I hear a steel guitar. Stupid me. :o:D:D

    Tune I am mixing

    Wow. Very nice. Great guitar playing and singing. :D:D:D My only thing is with the drum. I'm guessing it's a cajon. For me it really doesn't add anything to the song and is distracting at times. I'm almost inclined to say that a steel guitar would be nice at the end and very lightly...

    Rock song - production and mix advice much appreciated...or just listen and enjoy!

    Welcome. The singer has great voice. Nice arrangement. The intro sounds great, but when the full band comes in it sounds very empty. Like PDP said, the bass is almost non-existent. It sounds like there's a high shelf boost on the stereo buss or something. Maybe get those drums pumping...

    Celebrate

    That's a catchy tune, dude. :D The acoustic guitar that is panned to the left is really throwing me off when it's by itself like at the beginning and towards the end. Maybe during those parts pan it just a little more towards center. A couple of spots where the vocals are slightly out of...

    Mixing / Mastering / Drum job for another group's song.

    For the newbies. I started here and look at me go!

    But the other 99% of rappers are rapping about the same exact thing that you are. Do something original. And music is not just about lyrics (at least for some people). Just lyrics is called poems. Poems are about lyrics. Music is about music. I'm not saying that you suck because...
