Thanks for listening RAMI. The cymbals are the slightest bit distorted. I'm hoping it will sound much better in context. The guitars are all going to be slightly distorted and very chunky, it should sound good but could sound shit too! This was done with a 10x5 piccolo, I dunno what else...

This is a badass song. I like the first mix better. I wish there was some kind of layering or automation during the choruses to make it louder and more dense and the end would be better with more reverb until that badass drum fill kicks in. Otherwise, no contest, after listening a few times...

this is a song my band just wrote...There's only a scratch guitar, but I'd like some opinions on how the drums sound. They weren't performed especially well, our drummer has terrible nerves and he hates recording unless we're playing with him, but this is what we've got...

Hah, I didn't expect that. Good show!

I wont bother reading all of these posts because Im lazy and I cant make apostrophes so Im ticked off, but the best advice I could give a new guitarist has nothing to do with the instrument... Focus on quality, not speed...Learn how to fret and pick without too much noise, then learn how to...

Muuuuuch better. Vedy nice, vedy nice. How the heck did you record the guitars? What amps? I like those the most.

I agree. Bring the drums (at least the snare) up and bring the vocals down. This sounds really good otherwise!

It sounds better when Sonar hasn't turned 'stereo' on for all the mono waves, lol. But I really think the recorderman OH technique sounds great, even cutting most of the low-end out, OHs are always important and because it picks up all the drums so nicely the OH sound is better and bam, better...

I used CAD M177s unpadded for the OHs, set up like in the recorderman instructions but I picked a random distance that was higher above the snare 'cause I'm paranoid. The snare was a 57 barely peaking over the rim about an inch away from the head, the kick was an electrovoice ND676 I believe...

http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=12732 I've been trying Glyns John/recorderman type OH setups recently, using the drummer as a baffle and keeping the mics close in and equidistant from kick and snare center. I usually do wide spaced pairs. I'm liking it. I'm also micing the toms...

I think the guitars sound either too quiet or too distorted. Perhaps overly compressed. There's just something missing with their presence in the mix. The drums sound good though!

I think I'll agree, the bass guitar should come up a little bit, it's quiet. Just a titch.

Since I posted this, I've called around and found that the best studio around here is 1200 dollars a day in their smaller room (Morrisound) and the cheapest project studio with better gear and space than I have is 350. We all talked and we're going to track separately and as metronomically as...

I'm a poor drummer, lol. But I thought this was sounding really good so I'd like some opinions. I think the snare's too loud and will become especially problematic when I write and record vocal parts. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=12204

The hardest thing with that's overheads, their off-axis is the ceiling, hah. I wish we could use amp modelling but both me and the other guitarist have put way too much money into sweet tube amplifiers to put it to waste. thank you for the advice everybody!

We'd be overdubbing solos and miscellaneous bits and pieces, adding on guitar in certain places, just to beef things up. I was referring to how that stuff sits I guess. But you brought up a good point...What we're doing is very very important to us, important enough that we may just come up...

This is the route my band wants to take when we record our album (We need to write two-three more songs and work out transitions and inbetween noodly bits so this is a ways off) because it'll definitely preserve the feeling we lose when we track separately. We'd like to use my equipment, plus...

I lost my navigator once and I had to do the same thing. Sonar's pretty complicated!

That's why I like recording bands with lots of ideas that don't want to just play their parts and split. Sometimes people don't realize that the things they don't notice at first (it's taken me YEARS sometimes to notice tiny things in music I listen to every single day) really make the song.

I've been using nodes and envelopes for quite some time to control pretty much anything I can get to talk to Sonar like that, but there's things like panning leads and bringing up overheads and room mics that seem to come out better if I can do it on the fly, and I didn't even give it a shot...
