Have you heard of ebay? :) G

I would suggest a matched pair of Rode NT2s. These have cardioid, bi-directional and Omni polarity switching so you can really tailor the mic to suit your room best. For example if you were recording in a great sounding room you might want to choose the Omni pattern so you pick up all the nice...

No problem glad to help out where I can. G

Bumperooni.

I like the phaser effect on the vocal for the verses, and the backing vocals are nice. Your EQ settings are for that particular mic, pre amp, and your voice rather than definite settings for any vocal recording. They are however good starting points. I tend to leave the 3k area alone and boost...

Remember and post a link to your work in this thread once it is ready so we can slate/praise it :) G

I posted on about 1/3 of the song where there are vocal mistakes. I didn't want to go through the whole song, I'm sure you will spot the rest of the mistakes now that I have mentioned the others. Look forward to a new recording and Mix. Maybe try a different mic with less high mids. G

The new Mix is a much better vocal volume! I would still bring the vocal down a touch, maybe 1.5dB. The backing vocals are good volume in relationship with the main vocal most of the time. The tuning is much better, there are still a few mistakes here and there which I will point out on your...

Yes this does sound like a compression issue. The art tube pre-amp has a built in limiter also, I think you can turn this limiter off, which I would suggest doing, unless you want that really compressed over driven tube sound. Less gain so the input doesn't need to use the limiter, and hopefully...

Totally man, sorry for going on about it. :)

I listened to your other song "Rain". I like this song, is this an original or did you use an Instrumental Mix and sing over it?

Ahh I know why the Instrumental sounds crappy, it's because it has been turned into a mono Mix. :) Use the stereo Mix if you have it. G

I posted on your 1st Mix of this in another thread. This one is sounding a bit better if I can remember correctly. But the vocals are too loud, you want to compress more, maybe cutting some low mids if needed after turning the volume down and compressing. The high mids are a tad distorted so...

You asked me to be candid and I usually am with my critique. I say it as I hear it, I don't hype or diss for no reason. The vocals are totally out of tune most of the time so the vocals need re-recorded much better. I don't like the reverb sound on the vocals, did you maybe record the vocals...

Sounds good. The guitars are really nice and blend into the bass well to have that low mids meat. The cymabls straight away sounded a bit on the high end side, did you hi pass most of the OHs? I would lay off the 12k upwards area a tiny tiny tad on the OHs, and the vocals get lost here and...

If no one has any tracks then here is a website full of raw recordings to Mix. The quality of most of there recordings are ok, good enough to get a half decent Mix from. The 'Mixing Secrets' Multitrack Download Library (Cambridge Music Technology) I would like to Mix in a new comp for sure. G

Now the Mix in that video is a nice mix. Drums are believable and the guitars are great for only using an amp sim! So no amp was used at all? G

I suggest getting a good solid sounding Mix for recording vocals. If you can get the Instrumental Mix to close to finished stage then this will help with the vocal recordings. I would do main vocals before backing, but some producers choose to record backing first, and this tends to be with...

I used to own a 50Watt JCM2000 DSL50, it was pretty loud, loud enough for gigs in bars, and also for larger venues when miced up through the PA. Ah I miss my Marshall :( G

The mix is definitely not sounding right, it can sound much better. Yeah this style asks for a scooped mix, but this is taking too far. G
