I tend to prefer live sounding rooms for recording acoustic guitars and dead sounding rooms for vocals, you could use the two rooms to your advantage! let us know how it goes.

if you run into problems PM me, I'd be willing to help.

I am not too bothered about mono thesedays, it used to really worry me, now I don't care too much as long as things aren't 'lost' when summed to mono.

concentrate on balance more than anything else, EQ and compression for me always comes after getting the balance right with vocal harmonies.

I think in the example you showed us, you are being over critical, your voice is fine. It just needs some EQ to improve the clarity, I'd take out some of the low mids and boost 2.5k, you could also try moving away from the mic, this will help massively, it sounds to me like you might be too...

I also hope the wedding went well, did you use the mix?

that's a great re-creation of an old track, I think yours sounds miles better than the original, much cleaner and clearer in every way, also preferred the new vocals.

yes they are great microphones, nothing short of amazing for the price point, I tried one out the other day and might prefer it to my TLM103, you should try the tlm102 on saxophone, it is amazing for that.

I have found mono works well for setting the balance, but like everyone is saying it's not that important anymore, it's just a tool for helping you hear issues, and you don't necessarily need an auratone or mixcube either, I just sum it to mono and listen on one speaker, the 'grot box' speakers...

I think they are good mics (the old ones) one of my friend has an early one and it sounds pretty good, he uses it for vocals and it suits his voice well, I remember it sounding good on acoustic guitar as well.

A couple of things stand out to me, the 'boom' of the snare sound is a bit loud, like those harmonies a lot though, it's an interesting song and arrangement, strings are a bit too loud as well.

I think there's a universal audio interface that can do recording on the way in using their plug-in's, luckily for me I use my elysia xpressor 500 for that.

ah ok, makes sense, anyway here's my go at mixing it, hope you enjoy it, regards, Ben.

can you explain the weird volume changes on the canon in D track? it goes up and down a lot in volume, like it's been edited in a very cut and paste way, apart from that it's fine, I like the vocals a lot.

I'll give it a go, thanks.

if you want it be louder, the most natural way to do it and my personal favourite method is using parallel compression, especially with acoustic guitars and acoustic music, it doesn't squash the peaks and keeps the transients in place, whilst making the perceived volume louder.

the drums sound like they were recorded with minimal mic techniques, probably using 4 mics at a guess, sounds like ribbon mics, it's certainly a dark sound and mellow, could even be recorded to tape, there isn't much high end there. At a guess the acoustic guitar sounds like an sm57, it doesn't...

you can't legally use something that's copyrighted, especially if you are planning on releasing the track. If someone has leaked the tracks, you still can't use it, not even under "fair use". You need written permission from the artist themselves, or their team of lawyers, managers and...

if anything, it was the singing for me that was the biggest problem, make sure your timing is much tighter, the biggest problem is the whole band aren't in time with each other.

amazing cover mate! makes me want to de-construct some songs and do the same thing.
