    Panning advice?

    The best thing to do is to create alternate mixes and try different panning techniques. In Logic you can do this from the File menu, I'm sure other DAWS can do the same. Then you don't risk losing something or forgetting what you did. I tend to pan based on a visual representation of the band...

    feedback on my recording

    I didn't mic it, or re-record any parts. I just wanted to see how much better I could make it with what I learned mixing. I connected the Roland piano via USB, didn't mic it up. Mostly because I don't play piano so I needed to be able to tweak some flubs! I used all 'concert hall' presets and...

    Techniques for getting vocal levels even?

    Vocal Rider by Waves is fantastic. I use that and sometimes the stock adaptive limiter in Logic, or through automation in Logic (put automation in 'touch' mode and 'ride' the wave as the vocal part is playing). I also discovered the automation selector tool to make it easy to mess around with...

    feedback on my recording

    progress...one year later! Hard to believe it's been just over a year since I posted that song. Short version, joined a, all-original band last March, started recording their (our?) songs in my home studio in May and after many many lessons, irritations, frustrations, hundreds of hours...

    Is there something Wrong with the Way I Mix?

    I'd echo the comments about some 'peaky' parts and hidden bass elements. It's crisp and clear to my ears. The video that helped me the most was this one from Graham (Recording Revolution): YouTube I took that a step further and did the process he recommends at every section of the song and made...

    feedback on my recording

    Correct. I was about a foot from the mic, gain at 50% on the UR22 and the room is not treated, other than a wall of thick curtains covering a glass sliding closet door. I'm thinking of trying a version recored inside my closet to see what the difference sounds like on the other extreme end. I'm...

    feedback on my recording

    Thanks for FB! The Roland piano sounds nice live, I used the stock Steinberg grand piano sound but will try to re-record it live. I tried to get my 12 year old to play and record since he's really good but it's 'a lame song dad'! I'm going to try another mix as well to see if I can make it...

    feedback on my recording

    I did a couple of practice songs, but this is the first real thing I've recorded since the last thing I recorded 20-or-so years ago on a Tascam 4 track! Equipment: - Pro Logic X - Steinberg UR 22 MK II - bluebird microphone - Roland FP 130R piano (in hindsight I would have mic'd it, but...

    feedback on studio setup

    ---------- Update ---------- Yeah, it's my house. It's a corner room in my basement so two of the walls are drywall over concrete walls, the other two walls are steel studs and drywall. Ceiling is drywall as well. Good point about the desk, I was thinking of facing it towards the wall where...

    feedback on studio setup

    This is the Flexibooth: FlexiBooth | Primacoustic I think I might end up with this room kit: Primacoustic London 8 - Gray | Sweetwater Looks like it'll be a good starter setup and about as cheap as making my own after checking out Lowes.

    New Members: Introduce Yourself Here!

    Hey all...I last played in a band over 20 years ago and have been playing drums and guitar on and off but now decided to put a bit more time into playing and recording. I recorded a couple of covers that I'd like feedback on using a Roland Duo Capture EX, Garageband and Bluebird SL mic. I...
