Hey DogsoverLava, I filmed it with two Sony CX190/b camcorders recording at the same time, one front and the other off to the side. I sync it by matching the camera audio to the final mix audio (and then deleting the camera audio). All of it is live except for the two parts where I am playing...

Thanks for your time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soVogP-KfNI

Great production all around, cool song. The bass seems too quiet, not bass-y enough though.

Thank you Jamie.

Thanks for checking it out. I hear what you are saying about the guitar tone being a bit over the top. I hear the brightness. The mic placement is one inch off the speaker grill pointed right where the cone meets the dust cap. Maybe taking it back a half inch or so could help. To my...

Makes sense. Ok, I will do that in the future. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. I agree on the acoustic being a little bass heavy as well. I rolled off the lows at 170 hz to leave a lot of bass in to reflect the tone of the guitar, since it is a demo of the guitar in a loose way. I was using Nickelback's "Photograph" as a reference track and was...

Looking for some feedback on this mix. It is only the second time I have tried to mix something with acoustic guitars. Also, I am using a synth bass and some other swirling synth effects so I found it a challenge to balance all this stuff. It is also sort of a demo of my new acoustic guitar...

I think this is awesome. This treatment of the song totally works for me. Excellent job!

Howdy, So this instrumental I wrote to demo an amp sim of the Vox AC30. My goal is to use guitars and amps in the context of original music and have it sound as good as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaFQd3tklPM Thanks for you ears on this, Chris

Also, you say the bass is missing bottom end. What is a good way to judge that, I mean, can I look at a frequency analyzer and figure that out? Or do I just need to develop a better ear for these things? I have a pair of Audio-Technica ATM-30 headphones, should I just use that and compare to...

Thanks for the feedback RayC. The reason for the software amps is two-fold: 1) They are cheap so a lot of amateurs (like me) use them and so therefore a demo using them is useful to a lot of people. 2) The room I am working in has terrible reflection and resonant frequency problems. Once I...

I'll throw in my amateur opinion for what it is worth. First, I like the song, it is very pretty. I think a sparse arrangement like this can really work sometimes but I agree with the above poster about how the different sections of the song should have a different overall dynamic. Elements...

Solid advice. Thanks again Chili, I'll keep your comments in mind on my next demo.

Oh, there's no vocals partially because this is primarily a demo of a certain software amp/guitar tone. And also because I can't sing :).

Thanks. I using Ernie Ball "skinny top heavy bottom" strings on this (.10-.52).

Thanks for your reply. That's an interesting approach, bass and kick first and then building up, I will try that. I am guessing there is something off in the way I EQ the bass as well, on the software amp, in the mix and probably on the bass itself.

85 views and no one said we couldn't, so here's a link. I'm mostly concerned with the low end in this guitar demo, bass and kick drum: I am pretty new to mixing. I checked this recording against a reference track from the band Deftones ("My Own Summer") and it seemed to be somewhat close on...

Burn a lot of calories.
