Well, it all goes to motivation, right? I make music because I like to play, and I record it because I want to left something behind (call it a legacy if you like). Since we play death metal, chances are no more than 100 people will be really interested in our stuff, but that thought make me...

As far as I'm concerned, artists earn money with tours, not with records. Unfortunately, since we're a two piece band we're not able to play anymore... but we still like to compose and record our music.

That's the reason I appreciate you Greg! You got my point. By the way... no fans, no money... no money, no records... no records, no music... no music, no fans...

You're a funny guy! You know Greg, it might sound as a contradiction by I want to have a fan base of people interested in my music. I'd be happy if I could release an album every two years as a studio band (concerts don't cut for me.) Money *ahem* will only be necessary to cover recording and...

Thanks to you both, your thoughts are right. There's something else I didn't mention: money is not my goal here. Basically, what I need is a distribution channel and I my first thought was a label that could do that. If marketing is the clue, I should 'move' my music first, and then look after...

Hey guys, I'm in a dilemma right now and have so many questions I don't know where to start. Well, our band had independently recorded a second full-length album, which is ready for replication. This time we would like to approach a label and try to expand our music. My plan is to prepare nice...

Just to clarify, I'm using AKG cans to monitor. I agree that they're overpriced, for 100 bucks I get a really good Sennheiser headphones.

Hey guys, did you have the chance to try Drm Dre cans? I really have my doubts on this kind of products sponsored by artists. What I'd like to know if they can compete, in terms of sound fidelity, to the most well-established brands like AKS, Sennheiser or Bose.

:D Yes sir, I totally agree!

Thanks, I was afraid it was too thin. Sure has a bottom but I wanted to try another possibility, that's the reason behind the second track.

As a guitarist this is my advice: use a direct box (Radial ProDI) to record directly from your guitar to your computer. Clean, without any plugins. Then,when your neighbors are out, use a re-amp tool (Radial ProRMP) to pass the clean signal to a real amp and record that. There's nothing like a...

Hey guys, I'm undecided about which EQ for the kick should I use for this instrumental song. The first one cuts nice in the mix, but the second one has a fuller sound. Any ideas or advises? https://soundcloud.com/infectionmetal/kicktest001 https://soundcloud.com/infectionmetal/kicktest002...

Well yes, some people prefer the ME to take some licenses and reshape their music. Not my case, I prefer that he respect the mix. However, my question was more a concern about using a saturation plugin on the master fader of a mix, acknowledging that sometimes it is applied during the master stage.

In this particular case, the track is not distorted, just... fuller? I'd appreciate if you could listen to the affected track (even thou I know you hate SoundCloud for these matters :D.)

That's good news. According to the samples I've posted, does the track with the saturator is OK? I mean, is it hurting the mix?

Hey guys, thanks a lot for your tips and comments. I'm finishing my project and I'm seriously considering sending the mixes to a mastering facility. I saved some money so I can afford the service. Here's the thing: I applied a PSP Mix Saturator 2 on the master fader and I like the result, for...

Well, here you can hear the track with vocals: https://soundcloud.com/infectionmetal/mix-test006

Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I'll post the song (with vocals) tomorrow. In this part of the world is past midnight, so I may hit the hay now. Here's the track with less click on the kick. I think it sounds more balanced now. https://soundcloud.com/infectionmetal/mix-test005

This is my attempt to clean up the muddiness of the drums: https://soundcloud.com/infectionmetal/mix-test004

I have three kick tracks, which I mixed to taste. Here you can download a [.zip] with those tracks (no virus inside, working on a Mac): http://we.tl/mNUyVPj5d2 I will definitely post the song when these matters are resolved.Thanks a gain for your help.
