Well, not all my recordings have that "C" note, and I've also moved the desk around a bit to accodomate room for drum kits and stage setup for the 4 different bands I play with that rehearse here. That might have something to do with it. I'm going to do to more tests to figure this out. I do...

Yea I've been mixing on heaphones for a very long time, always double-check on monitors though before I "release" anything, along with the car test, and I'm almost always using reference tracks. My Beyer Dynamic DT-880 are actually really nice, they are open-back, and almost make me feel like...

Definitely didn't mean to start a battle. :facepalm: Just wanted some opinions. Actually heard the song in 5 places; two different car stereos, 2 different pairs of headphones, a boombox, and my monitors. No booming "C" notes anywhere 'cept for the monitors. Again, commercial release "C" notes...

Green Day medley demo I did a few months ago, when I was auditioning for a Green Day Tribute band here in Chicago. Never really fully finished the mix I guess, but's decent enough. Boy was it fun to record though. Dropbox - GreenDayMix6Demo.wav

Hey all, haven't been around much lately. Hope everyone's doing well. Anyway, I'm working on the final mix of a track, it's a basic F-C-G-Am thing, and I noticed something when putting it to the speakers for the first time after getting most of the mix done on my headphones (I do this often...

Listening to mix 3. Meant to listen to this earlier but got sidetracked and missed it... Everything sounds great to me. The slapback sounds really good here. Not sure if you brightened the rhythm guitars since the first mix, but I think they sound fine. The mix overall could maybe be a little...

Another one from the Addison Lane Record. Simple arrangement, basically just hard panned stereo acoustics and a vocal. There is also a piano track, and hard panned strings, but both very low in the mix. The heart of it is the acoustics and vocal. These mixes can be tricky; there are so few...

Thanks guys. Yea i just posted it last night. I definitely agree about the arrangement, it just takes too long to get to that first chorus. In pre-production we tried to convince her (the writer) to only have one verse and then the first chorus (instead of 2) but she specifically wanted it...

Another track from the Addison Lane record I'm producing. Me on all the instruments again, my wife Christina Grace on the lead vocals, and me on all the background vocals. Written by Laurie Green. Acoustic based pop-country, I think it's just about done, definitely need some input. Dropbox...

No problem, looking forward to the next version.

Cool tune, Timbo. I agree the drums need more low end. Mix overall is a little mid-heavy once it kicks in. Try a little 60hz on that kick, and some 220-ish on that snare. Bass guitar sounds about right on my headphones. I think the heavy midrange comes from a few elements; maybe a synth, but...

I'm there 5 times a day minimum... I just cycle through different songs (working on about 18 at once over here) and take plenty of breaks.

Sounds great to me. I missed a few revisions 'cuz I was up at the cabin for a bit, came back with more projects pressing to finish, been busy with that. Sounds like you turned up the lead vocal reverb? Sounds cool, on the verge of overdone, but still sounds great to me, cool dimension, fits the...

Hey thanks Timbo. Yea, I wanted to add more bite to those rhythm electrics myself, but it always seemed to take away from her vocal, which is totally what this song was about, so I left 'em pretty tame. Not my favorite snare sound either, but it works, so I just went with it. The more I...

Oh ok cool, I almost bought that myself. That thing looks cool, I think it's on sale right now for like $39, but I passed 'cuz I basically have the Slate equivalent. Have at it then. I can still do a version for fun if you want. Cool on the double, sounds great. What compressor(s) did you use...

Nice work, Jimi!! My first thought was 'sounds live' also, before even reading the comments. Sounds live in a good way, though. The minor timing issues aren't that bad at all, adds to the feel in a good way. Good sounds all around, great tones. If the drums were cleaner it would lose some vibe...

Quick new mix here and in the OP, just minor, subtle adjustments. Was able to buy a little more time before delivery, but have to send it off on Sunday night. This version is just for the video that's in production, I can always make more subtle changes, if needed, for her CD release. All I...

Thanks guys for the compliments on the vocals, was definitely a fun song to sing and arrange. Yes the new drums are way better. Snare has pop and sizzle now. I agree they could use maybe a tad more reverb, on the snare mainly, but this works too, all about preference. A few backgrounds are...

Thanks Steve, I'll look into maybe lowering the snare verb a touch, and I'll listen closely to the backgrounds to see if I can even out the stereo image a tad better. I left the vocal tails in the intro the way they were for character, but the more I worked on it and listened, they were...

A little on the bassy side, could be my 'phones though. Sounds pretty cool, cool sounds. Interesting 'helicopter' sounds. Bass sounds great at the 1:30 mark, nice tone. Nice touch on the piano near the end. I'm not sure on the genre either, soundtrack-y I suppose. Not really sure what to...
