Sure! John Roger from JR Mastering! Amazing results at an affordable price.

If there was no other music playing, only a bass guitar, I guess in theory the meter would be correct. But in a song, meters are worthless because your kick, vocals, and other instruments will contain some bass elements which could phase out the bass guitar. For example, you could have a bass...

You want the best? - Macbook PRO....

That's an easy question!! I've been mastering since 1998, over 40,000 songs. I use CUBASE as my DAW. I've been using Windows 7 since it came out, probably early 2000s. I tried windows 10, HATE the layout, and things crashed. Glitchy problems came up with 10. So, I reverted back to windows 7...

All around a great job! Congrats!

This mic is a reasonably priced classic. It's not warm. It's very clean and clear. If anything it could be a tiny bit bright, but it works. All that means is I roll off a little less bass. AKG C414 XLII

Common technique? EVERYONE does this!!! :thumbs up:

DCB - vocals are pretty good, nice up front and strong. Colony - not consistent. Sometimes up front, then sometimes getting run over by the music in parts. They don't seem as thick either.

Yes, this does sound old! The balance of this is pretty good, it just sounds like an unmastered mix that needs clarity.

I have a notebook of lyrics, sayings, concepts, ideas, etc that I refer back to when writers block sets in. If it's lyrical, songwriting software that suggests lyrics many times inspires me with new ideas.

Not only does this song not have a bassline, what you do have sounds very thin and tinny. I'm assuming this was recorded on a cellphone. Was it?

Chances are your mix is unbalanced. Either your bass or upper mids are 3-4dbs too loud. if this is the case, Once you maximize to get the lower section loud enough, the other section will distort. If this is the case, you have to balance your mix. You can fix it in the mix or in mastering...

Rode NTK Tube Condenser Microphone It's a little warmer than some of the other mics mentioned, but you can always brighten up the track in mxing. I'd rather have a warm vocal track that I can brighten up or hi pass filter as needed in mixing, than a bright vocal track I have to compress or try...

That's like asking if you need to mix the ingredients and bake them to make a cake? Who would want to eat a bowl of eggs, milk, butter and flour?? That's what your song will sound like if you record raw tracks and just play them back without mixing. Technically it's even worse. You're not...

So many artists are making huge money with videos. They make a funny well produced video, or a sexy one, just something cool and they make more money off of youtube ads than they do selling the CD! You're a needle in a haystack. I believe getting lucky and having a video go viral is your only...

I agree 110% with that quote! But you have people that haven't even mixed 10 full albums in their entire career making $250k plus a year telling other people how to mix. ha!

Macbook Pro is the king for anything you want to do. BUT EXPENSIVE! I'm not buying any other brand until someone else can beat it.

Technically it is more of a pre-sale. If he can get your money six months in advance, he has it. If that indie go go wasn't up, he might lose all those sales come October. It's actually a pretty good idea.

I've used Cubase since 1999. Looking into Logic.
