Hey all. Me and my friend recorded a song together. This is only the second song I've recorded and the first I haven't finished yet, but I feel I'm having more success with this one.
I'm still getting to grips with compression and EQing and I mainly used EQ on the Bass, snare and kick drum, so...
Hey all! I had a bit of time and motivation to look at the track again. I think that the levels are almost done. I should do the claps, but I tried and they sounded a bit shitty so it's something to look into a bit later. If i'm pretty much there I'm going to start looking into compression etc...
There is reverb on the vocal track, I haven't added any compression at all. I'll have a go at panning the guitar, I was panning it 25% left and then added reverb on the other side.
I'll have a look at those vocals, you're right that they do need looking at,
Well, if I get anywhere within this ballpark of quality I can die a happy man.
I'm not experienced enough with mixing to say anything other that it sounds good to my ears. But, in terms of guitar tone and playing, I like to think I know a little, and the tone here is really great and the...
Thanks mate. Yea the vocals need looking at a little! I also need to look at EQing a little and to start compressing!
Thanks for trying lol! You need to click on the latest one mate. Try this one. :)

Thanks.
Is the guitar too loud in general or is it a specific part, I.e the verse?
Yea I know the part now, It's the second Take me home in the verse. I can fix that. :)
I've had a little success on a track I'm working on, I've managed to EQ some of the bass fret noise out and make the kick and snare a little more prominent I think. EQing the instruments is a little more difficult as I find that I'm changing the bass sound per section, and I'm not sure if it's...

I've taken the tape saturation off and decreased the phaser, also I EQed the kick and snare a little.
Better?
Thanks :).
You mean for the chorus? I haven't changed the verse or bridge guitars at all. I added the phaser to the distorted guitars on my Kemper and reamped, then added the reverb from my Big Sky and some tape saturation from my Strymon Deco, that might be why. I'll have a play and see. I...
Okay.
I've spent a fair amount of time automating, changing guitar tones, mixing levels, re recording guitars, getting my mate to redo the vocals etc.
I think I've got it to pretty much as good a level as I can with my knowledge. I'm pretty sure that the double track on the vocal might be loud...
Thanks for that. So, according to that I should insert an EQ Plugin, cut all the frequencies that I need to, then insert compression, do all my compression, then insert another EQ Plugin and sort out anything that I want boosted?
This stop the compression affecting boosted frequencies in a...
I understand. Different horses for different courses, :)
I'm gonna start looking at the recorded instruments I've got, and think about what kind of frequencies they should occupy, I.e mid range for guitar, and play around in that area. :)
Thanks.
Yes of course. Right now I'm mostly concerned with understanding the graph, and I think I do, so that's a big step forward. One last question, do people normally EQ every part of a drum kit, or is it mainly snare and kick?
Thanks BroKen for that thread, it looks very useful!
My friend just...
Okay I get it. By having them there they would all occupy the same space, by removing them the others can occupy that space, therefore making them more prevalent and not affected by the bothersome ones?
