Hey Matt- Since you've been helping me out so much in the clinic wanted to toss in my two pence here. I received some M-Audio Studiophile AV-40's for x-mas and have really enjoyed them. A thing I found quickly in google that delineates specs...

i am currently just listening on computer speaker's but i think that is a great volume in the mix for the bass drum.

I wanted to do just a fun little thread. I'm assuming (and we all know what happens when assuming) all mastering folks do a little ear cleansing to get perspective. What are your faves? Mine were: 1. Lennon-I Found Out 2. Stones-Rocks Off 3. Big Star-O My Soul

I am adding some analog components to my current setup. While I'm certain some of it is a taste thing which should I go for: a reel to reel or cassette? I am in the Detroit area and haven't found a big difference price-wise.

Hey Man- Welcome! I'll be interested to find out how it works because I'm planning on making a similar change. Right now I've been debating whether I should go with reels or cassette. I am planning on doing the mix to VHS, which I've heard varying accounts of here. The main thing it seems is to...

No, I ran them through the compressor after tracking. I dig what you're saying about the bass drum. Also, just a bit of background I did actually go to school for this many years ago. I wound up in the mastering field but left a few years ago to go into teaching. Obviously, mixing and mastering...

hey man...thanks for taking the time to go through and listen to everything! yeah, the more i listen to the songs other people have posted i realize that the different tastes result in different ideas for mixes...which is fun :) i went back and did less work to the guitars...when i first heard...

hey- that was the main thing i noticed too, just an overall bump in volume for the drums. a good foot-stomping song.

hey man...sounds much better! one thing that jumped out was that some guitar sounds jump in at the end that sounded too loud and too panned...those could probably brought down a bit and still bring you the kick you're looking for.

Our last project went through Peerless Mastering in Boston...I'm not sure of their client base but they did a really fantastic job and were affordable.

i think doing just acoustic and vocals is a great way to start because it should help you to get a feel for the mixing process. i would say the most important aspect is to train your ears so they can recognize when frequencies are interfering and then eq to drop those out. as you solo the guitar...

i fall into the same category...i bought some good monitors and can rely on those to give me a good idea of what frequency ranges my mixes are too verbose in. they've also helped me to get vastly improved masters of the mixes.

awesome...so if going from analog to digital be prepared to have a piece of equipment in between that syncs them--easy enough. i'm definitely going to try the VHS thing as well. i read comments about compression but also have been reading that can be avoided with the right deck (one that has...

i come at it from the same direction...i love everything about vinyl. i'll gladly listen to my LP version of Exile on Main Street over the CD or iPod versions i have. that makes me think some of the perception about adjectives like "warmth" and "space" have a foot in both the psychological and...

IMHO (and that's all it is because its not my money we're talking about :)) I like going with the mixer best because the mixer will probably be more useful in the long run. i thought all of the ones you mentioned looked pretty similar. we used a samson in our lab at school and it always got good...

there are volume pedals so that would amp things up and give you a control before feeding the signal in for recording. if you run through a mixing board before going into your audio interface that would have the same effect too.

yup, nothing but positives on the mix! when i listened the first time i felt like the vocals and snaps were a lil loud but then didn't feel that way the second listen. how many bands for eq do you have? i did some playing around with it on a 20-band and did a gentle roll off starting 56hz and...

hello- would certainly appreciate some more feedback...i think i like how the guitar/bass are eq'd and sitting together and their panning as well...the drums seem to be working too? would appreciate any input on getting the vocals to sit a little bit better...i feel like they could come down in...

well, you are definitely not alone! i am moving towards a similar setup...i have been mostly digital but am moving towards the analog. i use a omega as the interface, do my mixing in vegas audio (although i am switching to pro tools) and also use soundforge to tweek sounds and practice...
