I went back to the song and looked at it, I actually don't have any white noise from the vocal tracks coming through, it's simply the buzz from the electric guitar leads as they're waiting to come in on the choruses. On the other track I was talking about I did leave a whole vocal track going...

I totally understood all of that and can't wait for my wife to go to bed so I can try it hahahaha It's literally the final piece to this mix I've been on the verge of finishing, thanks guys I'm really surprised at how quick and helpful this site has been already!

Very good and grounded advice, and basically what I'm already doing. The mic position tips may help, and doing the "headphone to speakers" thing is exactly what I do, listening not only on my speakers and headphones but adding laptop speakers as well. Cool cool, I'll let you guys know when I...

Ok, I guess I'm just used to forums giving me a notification tick for every reply, I'll just have to stay on top of my subscribed threads I suppose then. I'm sure I'll get used to it :)

Man I would if I could! I am a guitarist primarily but I find jamming on a drumset to be more fun than playing guitar, but living in a little 1 bedroom apartment and having no drumset and 2 mics well.... it's gonna a be a while before that can happen haha Well and who am I kidding, I can jam...

Ok every time I hear about acoustic treatment I just tune it out because I think "My room is not enclosed, it's shaped really oddly, and I have literally no money to spend on acoustic treatment" and I just move on. And when I say no money I mean it, my wife and I have been surviving on homemade...

Do the notifications only alert you of the first initial response to a thread? I keep having to check my quick links to see who's responding to me, I DID get 2 notifications about threads I posted in, but a ton of replies happened in them, I also just feel like I've posted in too many places...

I'm guessing you are talking about the areas where you aren't singing/playing but the mic's are still going? I will USUALLY cut that stuff out, and sometimes when I do after I hit play the whole song sounds cleaner and more full, but sometimes it takes something away. I recently was doing a...

I just recently starting micing my guitars and I feel like we have a similar issue, somehow I just don't get all that definition and warmth others do and I'm guessing it's cause of acoustics just like everyone is saying. (though to me you also look pretty far from the mics, ESPECIALLY the...

Yeah that makes sense, I haven't been able to do any tinkering cause my wife's computer is the one I have to use to record right now and she needs it today, I think more than anything I'm just gonna see what happens when I put the overheads in first and blend the individual mics to that. I'll...

WOW... ok I'm definitely just not getting alert notifications for some reason, I went all this time thinking no one was responding but goodness! So many responses! Yeah I guess I should have made it clearer I have no real drumset I use VST's, drummica and Addictive Drums, I did not know I...

Honestly I'm still figuring out how this works, not sure if my alerts don't work or if I'm missing something, I just keep thinking I have no alerts but then when I go to my posts people have responded, I'll be more active when I get a handle on managing my posts/responses but thank you for the...

Oh you have a thread for introductions, I've never seen that before. Im Symph, I make rock music, I am a one man band so to speak, and I love old school music from the 60's and 70's above all, my current kick is new wave/punk. Little confused how this forum works, thought I was getting no...

I hope this hasn't been asked/covered too extensively, I looked around a little but Im lazy... :guitar: Basically, overheads make very little sense to me. What do I do with them? Do I want them to add to the tones of the kick and snare and toms? Do you hi pass filter until just the cymbals...

Totally getting the Simon and Garfunkel vibe, great harmonies and changes, good vocal... it works well being that short too. To my ears it may be a bit bright? Ever so slightly harsh maybe? But overall I think it sounds great, and I'm not much of a mix critic as I've still never produced...

How do you make it "play" like a bass though? Finding something that could emulate real bass would be a dream for me as I don't play bass very well and whenever I mic bass or DI it it comes out in strange tonal areas and is really difficult to work with. Im just really skeptical about midi...

I have always had an affinity for the idea of "vintage simulators" because I can't afford the real thing and I love old music and the way it sounded. However in practice I've never really found it to be as magical as I expected, though that could very well be that Im an amateur and don't know...

I honestly don't know if I've already got an introduction thread here, this is one of those classic cases of "I went to join the forum and found out I'm already a member", happens to me a lot. But hey! My name is Symph, been recording music my whole life but just recently decided to actually...

I couldn't hear the original mix, I'd assume it had alot of issues, it wouldn't download for me. I DID hear the "fixed" mix, holy crap!!! Like... I just... I can't imagine anything it would need. I can imagine if it was recorded in the 70's by like the guy who produced Steely Dan or something...

Hi, I'm Symph, I am an artist who writes, produces, sings, plays guitar, keyboards, drums, and bass, and I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, (not necessarily a christian since few churches wouldn't find SOMETHING offensive in my beliefs) I call my music "Gospel Glam" because it doesn't sound at all...
