It is better, yes!

Thanks for your response TripleM! I forgot what compressor settings I have on the guitars, I'm not at my studio at the moment. I'll play with them some more and see if I like what you're describing. I know I have a compressor running on the right/rhythm guitar. I think I only have a compressor...

In the intro, the first measure of the guitar sounds fine, but then the second measure sounds like it drags/slows down. Repeat for measure three and four. There's no other way I can describe it.

The first thing I noticed, before checking out the production, is that the instruments feel like they're dragging. When the guitar came it, it felt like it was "behind" the beat, even though it was the only thing playing. Same with the drums. Is there a click track? Love the subject matter, I...

I feel the vocals could probably use a simdge more clarity. Whether that's cutting out some low mids, or adding air. It doesn't have to be a lot, but that's my feeling. I also feel the lead organ part at roughly 50 seconds could be boosted a bit. Its noticeably quieter than the lead acoustic...

EDIT: Up to date mix on Post #23 EDIT: Up to date mix on Post #19 EDIT: Up to date mix on Post #13 Hey all, back for my annual check-in to homerecording.com again, this time needing some actual mix help this time! And this is probably my first time posting something to the MP3 Clinic since...

I love it when a post I made 14 years ago gets quoted :D Man, back in 2010 I was still a prolific songwriter/composer. After I wrote my Norse musical in 2011, all my juice was spent. I went from writing 15-20 songs a year to, like, one and a half.

The Native Helix plugin went on sale a few days ago so I grabbed it. Far more convenient than switching up my interface everytime.

Yeah I looked it up. Even with the discount for me owning the hardware its still $100. Even though having the plugin would be more convenient, I can just run the Stomp as an interface and record in 1:1 real time and save that money. But yeah, I see what you mean there, a typical engineer would...

So I know the answer is always "if it sounds good, use that option" but I just want to see how people approach this? So the long story, I am slowly continuing work on my musical that I started recording in 2013. I made "temporary final" instrumental mixes in 2014 that I'm now finally starting...

Cool thanks, I don't think I"ve updated Melodyne in a year, so I'll look into that and then go into those settings. And good to know about the generated EQ curve, if it comes down to that I'll check that out. Thank you!

Hey all! Not sure anyone remembers me, I used to have a Lorax avatar (that went away at some point). I was pretty active from 2007 to 2014, then I posted like once per year for the next couple of years, then was completely absent since 2017. I guess I just got bored and wasn't learning anything...

Awesome, good to know. Yeah, I want to use this *strictly* as a recording mechanism, all my mixing would actually be done on my main recording PC.

Hey guys, I just bought an Re20 on ebay and it came in yesterday, pretty excited for it. I immediately put it on my bass drum to test it out. Then I decided.....you know, I haven't changed my recording setup for drums in, well, since I first built up my studio 10 years ago. I always have...

ebay has them for under $200. Not bad, good to know about this one too.

Ebay has them under $200 which looks good. But it seems it only does 16 bit, which is a bit meh for me.

Thanks man! I'll probably end up getting that. And man did this forum die or what? This subforum used to be one of the busiest, at least a new thread each day (if not multiple) and yet its been a week and only one other thread. There also seems to be a lot more subforums than there were...

Hey HR, for some reason I don't visit you guys anymore. I've just shifted my focus back to the musician aspect of my many hats, which I guess is the important thing here, right? Anyway, I'm looking for a means of mobile recording. My Firestudio 26x26 still works great after 10 years, but its...

Got me thinking about Jess and the Ancient One's debut album. The first song is absolutely killer....pulls no punches, full barrel, badass, awesome. I love it, its an amazing song and one of their best. They definitely start with their strongest song. Its also very marketable as a single...

Hey, I haven't really posted here in over a year. Kind of got bored and I haven't really gotten new gear in years (think I bought my last mic in 2012, and my last plug-in around that time). Last big project I did was in 2013 when I tracked drums and electric guitar in my home studio, but doing...
