http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54393172/ASF/Sample_new.mp3 New version with guitar eq

I'm not really sure how to fix that... Unless you mean it's just quiet

Hey thanks! I just read Slipperman's Recording distorted guitars from hell, if you were referencing that. I know I am definitely going to do things differently when I rerecord the guitars

Well the quietness should be fixed now

Yeah I bumped up all my faders so now I'm peaking around -10 db. Thanks for the advice, I'll keep all of that in mind. Anything else wrong with the mix in general?

I have multiple group stereo buses, and they are pretty low, all around -25 to -30 DB

This is in Cubase 5, and all of my bus tracks are turned down way low just so I have headroom to adjust things. I realize it's very quiet, and I planned on changing that eventually. I usually listen through speakers or studio headphones (yeah I know not to rely on them for mixing). I'll keep...

I fixed the snare and volumes as you suggested. It is quieter because I didn't "master" it this time.

Okay, I updated the mp3. I fixed some of the volumes in it and did the snare EQ from scratch. And yes, I forgot I had applied crappy "mastering" to that previous recording. The new one doesn't have any of that.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54393172/ASF/Sample.mp3 I posted this over in a different section, but was told it would get more response here. This is a sample from my band's self recorded album in progress. The guitars and vocals here are not final, but I would like advice on the sound of the...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54393172/ASF/Sample.mp3 This is a sample from my band's self recorded album in progress. The guitars and vocals here are not final, but I would like advice on the sound of the individual instruments and the mix as a whole. I'm still training my ears; what do I need to...

Everyone always told me to record with a lot less gain than I would expect, and that's what I've been doing for months now. I still wasn't happy with the sound, so I turned it back up higher and I think the sound cuts through way better.

I'm borrowing my friend's bass for a while, and it's a fender starcaster j-bass. I am using it for recording some stuff, but I can't figure out which pickup configuration sounds best. There is a separate knob for each pickup. I'm a guitar player, and my logic concerning pickups on guitar doesn't...

Whenever I try to record drums, I can essentially hear the entire kit through the snare mic, and somewhat the tom mics. This makes compression near impossible because it ends up making the background noise just as loud as the snare. Do I need to turn down the mic gain, or is it not really a...

Not the way you would want to. There is no USB output, so everything that comes out of it would be mixed together already. You probably want something more like this (this is what I have): Product: US-1800 | TASCAM

I'm still trying to get a good mic'd sound out of a cab. I'm happy with the distortion tone that the mic is picking up, for the most part. Whatever I record, there is a noticeable wooshing sound at about 2.3khz. This happens with any mic or placement I use (f5 or SM58), and it is audible...

I'm in a band called Another Step Further, from the suburbs of Chicago. We are mainly influenced by Rise Against, along with others like Bad Religion. Our latest single is called Silence of Submission, and you can listen to it If you like it, then "like" our bandpage! Another Step Further |...

Any advice on the mic placement?

Crap... I think some extra takes got mixed in there. Thanks tho EDIT: I took out all the extras. Now it's down to 12 or so. And they aren't all meant to be used, it's more or less of a test. And I did the condenser that way because that was the setup when I went to a studio once.

Yes there is some phasing issues, but I just figured that was due to mic placement. And I have no clue how the tracks wouldn't be aligned when recorded simultaneously. Mainly my concern is that even using only one mic doesn't sound very good
