Am I using these things wrong? When I listen to a mix through these, I got nice reverbs on the vox, present up front guitars, kickin drums, booming bass...then I burn it, listen to it else where, and almost always the mix if lifeless, the bass is non-existent, and the reverbs are...

did he make that up on his own? THat is FRSH!

any guesses on what his new name will be? how about: NoDis frumdahood or my personal fav... wastaflesh you know its too bad something, and some one like this took away time from other people who sincerely want help and to learn. But alas...it was funny :)

this is pretty cool, but I am not sure the kick drum that comes with the demo is what I need. Is it hard/ easy to put in your own sounds?

me thinks this is it

you will get more feedback if you post this in the mp3 section.

new spin (maybe) on old topic...when placing mics...how do you know when you get the right sound...eg., do you wear headphones and play with placement until it sounds right...set up, record, play back, adjust, repeat, lather rinse...what do YOU do?

I don't think it can :( I would like to use a sample of a kick drum from a jimmy eat world song if that is possible.

Can you replace a kick drum with a sampled kick in CEP?

I think I was looking more towards something to the effect of...everything below 50hz on the guitar will always just be mud in a mix, and everything above 10khz (I am just making this up for an example) is just noise. if such things don't have hard and fast rules, then so be it.

so, then following the article where it says to cut at 400hz and boost at 5 khz...but using a peak of 50hz, isn't the 5khz and 400 hz for that matter already cut? any settings in waves parametric eq will be tres beneficial in explaining this concept so I can see it. Thanks!

I am reading that EQ primer...really good article to give a starting point...but I am a bit lost as to what he means when he says peak equalization with a 1.4Q, when refering to adding more fullness to such instruments as the kick drum. i THINK that means for the kick drum, 50hz will be at zero...

have to agree...could be a great song...kind of radio head/weezer-ish (rh being sweater song)...but those vocals need to be tamed down BIG TIME...especially in the chorus and bridge.

I am looking for a list of useless eq...like...on vocals anything below 70hz and above 10,000 hz should be cut completely. Does anything like this exist?

this is a great thread on a good place to start for recording drums: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=39030&highlight=fat+drums

beef up that kick drum!

damn dude, you should work for the government if she bought that line :D now why the hell did someone shoot you 1 star...thats not cool. I would give you a couple if I could figure out how.

Love the intro. Your voice reminds me so much of the band August Red...the were a local tempe band when I was in college...anyway. The drums sound a bit lifeless...that is my only critisism...everything else sounds good. If you do want to stay happily married...don't ever play this song for...

everything sounds very far away. The song itself is good...but really...did you HAVE to use the 'phone' plug-in? Part of being punk is not being like everyone else. Like the guitar work on the bridge...some of the vocals sound very similar to this time I went out drinking and then projectile...

best 'sampled' drum I ever heard :)
