    EQing Drums for the Mix

    ya...just keep tracking until you are ready to hang yourself from the nearest tall object...then beat your head against a wall...until you pass out...then track again. Yes, everything does have its own frequency, BUT it you don't EQ, you will have mud and flat sounding drums. Check out Blue...

    Blue, great article, and that chart is super usefull...it does highlight my previous question though... Say I want a full bodied snare so I leave in 250hz. but the 2 guitars both panned at 15 (one R one L) are also living at 250hz...won't there just be mud?

    one thing I wanted to add...I know a lot of people want more click...the fact is, its not there for a reason...my drummer is missing a foot and hits the kick drum with a rubber mallet that he attached to his nub. as much as I want to just leave it at that, because I think its damn funny...but...

    semi theory question

    One of our songs, I am drop D playing a D5 * G5 chord progression, while the other guitarist is playing regular tuning and is playing a full D chord and full G chord. We have started recording it and it sounds a little 'off' Is it because of the chords we are playing together or more likely the...

    Drop D Bar Chords (Easy 3 string chords!)

    Add Jimmy Eat World to that list, and I think their songs are some of the best out there...especially their early stuff...not to mention if you can use a simpler form of a chord you won't have to stand like a statue on stage trying to make sure you got the frettig right...I use drop D in 2 of...

    This is trully interesting stuff! the bass was eating the kick, the guitar was smothering the snare...this is awesome! I can see where this subtractive EQ can take SO much time. I spent some time infront of the actual mixing speakers last night, and this stuff makes a HUGE difference. But, I do...

    When you guys have your tracks recorded, and the go to mix everything together...do you bounce the drum track? I want to make 'room' for the kick as it seems the bass is 'eating' it, but won't I be picking up the same frequencies from the overheads as the kick mic? Should I be doing any cuts on...

    Far Away

    just to let you know, I have applied no eq at all and very little panning as well...this is a rough mix that I am trying to flesh out a little bit.

    double mint gun

    I have tried many times VERY unsuccesfully to mix in a second vocal track with the first with a persons own voice...any suggestions how to get this to sound full and rich as opposed to robotic and nasty?

    Far Away

    ok...this is sort of a rough draft...I want to redo the vocals...especially at the end of the song...the clean guitar is also going to be redone, and there is one more distorted track to go. Let me know what you think so far. http://www.foxytravel.com/YE/mixdowns/far%20away.mp3 as always...

    Icarus

    I think the vocals are too forced in the beginning...would just like to hear that sung a little differently...maybe using that intensity more at the end of the song than beginning...otherwise...love the vox..they mix very well with the piano. I would bring the background music up a bit...I...
