    Pop-Rock song: Afterwords - Mix feedback much appreciated!

    Implemented your Feedback: Newest version of Afterwords So here is the latest version in which I tried to use all your feedback. Especially the drums did improve much, parallel compression worked incredibly well, also on the bass which got much tighter. I also compressed the vocals some more...

    Pop-Rock song: Afterwords - Mix feedback much appreciated!

    Cool, I already had most high pass filters in place. But putting the snare a bit higher and also putting one on the overheads (only till 50Hz, I don't want to loose the bass drum on there) and I've got the feeling that it helps...

    How do you think that my cover song is doing compared to its original?

    Maybe rather post this in MP3 Mixing Clinic, thats the place to put your mixes for general feedback ;). This subforum is more for specific questions on specific mixing topics. (if I understood it well myself, I am no moderator or anything :D

    What is the deal with compressors?

    Thanks! Experimenting with that now. The chorus and couplet now start to sound more even in a way, although the volume is still pretty different! I like it :D

    What is the deal with compressors?

    That sounds really cool. Bu I´m not getting it really. How do I ad one or two all-pass filters to my EQ? I would really like to hear what that does to the vocals of my track. I'm using Reaper with the ReaEQ plug-in.

    Pop-Rock song: Afterwords - Mix feedback much appreciated!

    Thanks for the cool feedback. Am working on it again today. I've got to look up parallel compression and how that works. I;ve tried pulling up the volume and bringing down the reverb which helps a bit but it still sounds so homerecorded :P. I've used two different reverb one for the position...

    What is the deal with compressors?

    Thanks for this very usefull thread. I learned a lot from it though I did not understand all details. Hope I'm not breaking in into the thread but this seemed an on topic question to me. If you use Take Volume would you want to have the volume in all of the song at the same height? I get...

    Mac vs PC

    Have used both. But I like pc more because, like Massive Master said, most of the problems that arrise with PC you can fix by yourself. Whereas repairing macs is very costly and often very difficult... Otherwise both OS's need time to get used to. I could work on either apples and windows...

    Accoustic treatment and cats

    I hoped to find a question about how having cats in your room affect the acoustics of the space. I'm slightly disappointed now...

    straw bale studio

    Normally you put straw under high pressure when building it. Also straw isn't as likely to catch fire as hay as (lot of people seem to mix those two up). You finish it of with something breathing, cob or lime, which also keeps mice and bugs out (mice and bugs btw rather live in hay then straw...

    Does anyone know the name for this beat?

    I just found out that it is really similar to the Soca or Calypso beat, I guess it is derived from that one.

    Does anyone know the name for this beat?

    As a drum teacher I come across a lot of different beats, and most of them I can name in a certain genre or with a name for the beat. The next beat (see picture) is used among many other songs in Justin Biebers' song Sorry (which is, spare me the hate, quite a nice song...). I usually call it...

    What monitors should I buy?

    Thanks for all the advice. Last week I bought the Neumanns they still have to be delivered, they didn't have them in stock, so stoked to hear them in my own room. The Eves had their bassports on the back and since I will be placing them against the wall (my room is to small to have my desk...

    condensed fiberglass info/where to buy thread

    If your in Europe try to find Rockwool 221 has a density of 55kg/m3. Which is very good (according to these cool measurements). I got it on the Dutch equivalent of EBay from a guy that buys it in bigger bunches. 40 euros per pack. One pack is eight 5cm thick plates 100x60cm. No idea if that is...

    Awkward room. Where to make studio?

    You've got doors on almost all the spots I would place bass traps (4" Rockwool 221 or thicker). You could consider making bass traps on hinges so you can still use your doors.

    Room sound little dull

    If the problem is that you don't like the sound when your singing. It might help for your own performance to put on a headphone which gives you back some of your voice with a little reverb. It can be pretty unsettling to make music in a room that dampens all your high frequencies. Also: mjb...

    Switch from control room to live room and back -> acoustic treatment

    Hey Guys, So thanks to all the great help on this forum I'm almost finished with the acoustic treatment in my room. I'll soon put up some pics. Right now I have absorbers for all first reflections including a cloud above my desk and bass traps in all four corners (not all finished yet). But...
