IMO, sound is the only thing that matters. The Who recordings of WHo are you, join together or we wont get fooled again blow away any modern stuff. Maybe decibal wise, and level wise, the modern stuff is louder but play it through your studio monitors and just listen to the difference: the who...

this is just my opinion... You could place an EQ first thing, even B-4 the sim, if you like. You could then also place an EQ AFTER the sim. Plus, there are EQ's in the sim (the tone knobs). Then, there are the tone knobs on the guitar which, in reality, are nothing more than high pass/low pass...

great thread, folks... I suggest having a mastering house do the job becuz they should have the tuned room, you may not. As far as getting ur mixes louder? I'd go with automation (riding the faders). Limiting is a generalization tool. Automation can be applied to individual tracks and...

Aaah, I totally get what ur saying, mixsit. Yea, that would make normalization defenitely a tool for the final mixdown. Most mastering houses I've looked at require the mixes to be normalized to a specific level. I also see where Bobbsy is coming from, though. Some of my tracks are sometimes a...

Good question.. I think this is personal preference. I prefer BFD cuz its so realistic. Not sure if thats what ur going for. If it is, give BFD a test run, there's a free, downloadable version available. It really depends on the song and what you want to accomplish WITH the drums. I have all...

I noticed that too. The single I'm working on now has drums I made in BFD and then I recorded the bass. For help recording further, I recorded a quick, sloppy guitar track that will simply be a ghost track for now, just to help with recording. But the sloppy, impromptu guitar work sounds amazing!

hmm... very interesting... i guess i sort of do this naturally as I'm recording the tracks, as I aim to have everything peak at around -10 to -7 dB or so. I figure this leaves me enough head room but is this a good level to have my tracks or is peaking at these levels quiet, too much? Simply...

no offense here, jimm,y but i think what he is asking is the same question I ALWAYS ask when I listen to music: how did the engineer do that? This is a WONDERFUL question for him to ask and if we are experienced and have a moment, we should be enthusiastic to answer him becuz no one will ever...

I agree. With the compression thing and with what Bobbsy is saying. I also think its a lot of WHAT compressors they use and how they used them. It really seemed to enhance the music. I also like, thought, the reverbs they used. Modern music sounds so stale and dry compared to this. Its like the...

dude, if this is really ur first time for all those things, awesome job! That rocks. Seriously. You guys defenitely got potential. My opinion would be to take the recorded tracks to a pro mix engineer if your budget allows and then to a pro master house. If not, try the pro master house at...

Kip's problems may not have been 100% speaker related. You could spend thousands on speakers and still never get a mix to translate, not even once. It's all in the acoustics of the room. If you're simply mixing to get a sound or rough demo, use a woofer and the most decent speakers you got...

aah, ignore those guys.:cool: i dig a little All Time Low every now and again. I agree, though, I'm not real sure what it is about these vocals that really is so amazing. I mean, don't get me wrong, I totally dig ALex voice, even though its a bit genric for the genre. All I can hear on this...

I think you really need to be objective when you select your DAW. You first need to find out EXACTLY what it is you wish to do with your DAW and how you plan to use it. Almost all these programs are great software. As long as they're compatible with your hardware and rig, it really becomes a...

this will sound dumb but what exactly is normalising and how exactly to I go about doing it?:confused:

Okay, talking mixing here... Why is it that when I listen to recordings from the band "The Who", such as, "Join Together" or "Who Are You", "We Won't Get Fooled Again", or even "Pinball Wizard" they sound SO much bigger, livelier, in your face like you're at the show, front row compared to...

Okay, read thru the whole thread, this has to be the greatest thread ever and the greatest forum ever! The debate between FP and PDP was amazing! I realize the thread has returned to its intended direction but I guess I'm commenting on the thread in it's entirety... here goes... The most often...

LMFAO ROTFL!!!:laughings: Man purse hipster music! :laughings: EDIT: The only artists from this realm I enjoy are Dashboard Confessionals and Damien Rice. I LOVE Dave Matthews but I dont think he quite falls into this faggy area. Yea, I do enjoy some of this music and can totally appreciate...

My answer is... TOTALLY, YES! Yea, it would be worth it. Her parents seemed halfway intelligent by paying for the recording and then getting the record company (as long as I have my story straight). So, assuming they hired a somewhat decent lawyer, even after giving the record company their cut...

Thanks for the info! Actually, I was thinking I was trying to get an acoustic sound but really loved this off kilter sound I ended up with. I will be trying to capture the real acoustic sound as well. Yea, I just listened to the complete version of the OP's sample and that is not the sound I...

Hi guys~! This is my first post ever here... Got to go to bed so I have not read the entire original post and all the comments but will read those tonight, awesome forum... Simply wanted to share my experience with recording the first layer of acoustics on the single I'm working on... it...
