    Mix and Vocal test [Industrial Rock/Metal]

    Thanks man. It means a lot. I feel like I grew up on this forum. I decided to provide a link to the .wav for a better clarity and quality option. So here it is: Look What You'e Made (Unfinished) I'm hoping to finish up the last of the vocals tomorrow.

    Mix and Vocal test [Industrial Rock/Metal]

    Here's an update! I finally figured out the vocals for the chorus and I recorded them this morning. I changed the kick in the verse to reduce the high end slap which is still present in the pre-chorus and chorus. I had to adjust the levels of the guitars and synth in the chorus so they would...

    My Frist "Real" Recording

    I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said. However, I will add my two cents. The rhythm guitar is too loud in the mix. It sounds like it could use a better compressor to smooth it out some so it will play nice with the vocals. Speaking of the vocals, they do sound good...

    My Second Mix, More metal

    The guitar sounds really far away. And the bass, toms, and kick are joining forces on some of the same frequencies and making a lot of the parts kind of muddy. I like the vocals. They sound pretty well treated for the style. But, all in all, the drums sound a bit too loud compared to...

    Mix and Vocal test [Industrial Rock/Metal]

    Thanks for the advice! I'll work on that kick drum to make it match the tone of that part. Thanks for the compliment. But, unfortunately is not on purpose. I'm planning on adding vocals there but I'm not quite ready for that yet. The synth sound itself was an experiment with a sound from...

    Mix and Vocal test [Industrial Rock/Metal]

    Thank you for the great feedback, guys! I truly appreciate it. I did poke around some with your thoughts in mind and here's what I did: I made some adjustments to the EQ on the guitars to let the vocal through a bit more. I reworked the compression and limiter of the mix to make it loud but...

    Mix and Vocal test [Industrial Rock/Metal]

    I like to experiment with different techniques when it comes to mixing and mastering. And sometimes, I like to try different things with my vocals. So, here's a clip of the most recent song I've been working on. I thought I'd get some advice on the mix early on so that I can make changes...

    All In My Head [Remaster]

    I have a really huge transformation for you. I took this song and completely remixed and remastered it. The difference is night and day. I've been working really hard on it and I could really use some honest feedback on the mix and master. I've made a few tweaks here and there to give the...

    This one: https://soundcloud.com/stat1stick/msb-dreamless Or this one: https://soundcloud.com/stat1stick/msb-dreamless-new-mix Nothing to hard. Just trying to decide which mix to keep.

    Orgy - Platinum [cover]

    Hey guys! I've always wanted to record an Orgy cover and Platinum was my favorite song from their album Candyass. So, here's my recording. I didn't want to change the song. I just wanted to record it like it is on the album. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. All feedback is...

    Dreamless [Mostly Acoustic]

    This is the second track that I recorded for MySomethingBox, a local talent that reached out to me to record a 10 track EP. We got all of this done in one day and I think it came out well. So far, I don't have any issues with the mix or master but you may find some. Please give it a listen...

    The D Word [Acoustic Ballad]

    Thanks guys! I'll talk to him about shortening the song up a bit. I'd have to agree with you about the length. I was thinking the same thing when I saw the time on it. While I was recording it, it didn't really seem like it was that long. But, I guess they never do. Would you say that the...

    The D Word [Acoustic Ballad]

    I have recently taken on a local talent called My Something Box and I've agreed to record a 10 track EP for them. This is the first track. It sounds fine to me and to the artist but I'm always game for a second opinion. Please give it a listen and let me know if there is anything that seems...

    Currently Untitled [Heavy Metal] Instrument Mix

    I put this together today. I don't have vocals for it yet. In fact, I don't even have lyrics. I'm curious what you guys think of the mix so far. I'm really digging it but I know you guys can usually spot stuff that I can't, so have at it...

    Weird Sound in a Recording

    It's possible that when you were singing you had moved slightly toward or away from the microphone and your breath was picked up. Kind of like when you hold your hand in front of your mouth and make the "hah" whispering noise. Move your hand back and forth and you'll hear that same sound. It...

    Bring on the disparaging remarks! Its ENEMY AT THE GATE!

    The vocals need some body. I'm just getting highs and mids. It's mixed really well. Everything has it's own place and sounds good together. However, the song is lacking dynamics. Everything seems to be at the same volume which removes distinction from the different parts of the song. There...

    Metal mix! Comments or suggestions will be welcomed.

    The guitars aren't really doing it for me. They lack fullness and leaves the song sounding thin. It's probably just my preference but I think a traditional distortion would do the trick. But, like I said, it's just my preference. They are different which does make the song stand apart from...

    Roberta [Hard Rock Ballad]

    I've been working on this one for a few days. I recorded it a while ago but I wanted to get its mix up to par with the new stuff I've been recording. I think it's there. I also did something different with the guitar EQ so pay attention to those. Any gripes, critiques, opinions, or...

    How I Record Guitar - EQ Adjustments

    I recently started using a new (to me) technique for EQing my guitars. To start, I have to decide if I'm going to use my Digitech RP1000 for the tone or Guitar Rig 5. If I'm using the RP, I'll run a channel to my amp and a USB channel to my computer. With the tone I have chosen to use on the...

    I'm Alive [Hard Rock]

    I would have to disagree. I must have had some serious ear fatigue when I was mixing because when I went and listened to the song again, I noticed there was hardly any low end. So, I went back in and made some adjustments. I've updated the link above with the newest mix as of 08:53 2/28/2014...
