I decided to go back and remaster this. I wasn't really satisfied with how the original mix came out. There were some obstacles that made it hard to find the right blend but I think I've overcome them. I don't have the old version online anymore but if you want a comparison, I can upload it...

Well, I start off by making everything sound good on it's own without any kind of dynamics processing, EQ, or compression. Once I've got a good blend, I use a multiband compressor to even out most of the outstanding frequencies. I usually use a preset from the Ozone 5 Dynamics Processor plugin...

Hey guys! It's been a little while. I haven't felt the urge to make anything new until about two days ago. This one gave me insomnia. But I'm pretty happy with the result. Please give it a listen and let me know if there's anything that needs adjustment. As always, your feedback is greatly...

I decided to give this one another shot. I wanted to try to redeem myself for the bad drums on the last track I posted (Transmit The Dead). I reworked the drums and came up with a new mix all together. I think the snare may need to come up a bit and there's something not sitting right with...

I want to say thank you all for listening and giving feedback. I don't know how it happened but I think this one is the best sounding recording I've ever made. A HUGE thank you goes out to Jimmys69 for the drum samples. I took down all of the older mixes because they don't really represent...

A HUGE thank you to Jimmys69! I love the kick and snare sounds! I made a new mix with your samples. I really like it. The kick may a bit too loud because I was a bit over-zealous with it in the mix. https://soundcloud.com/stat1stick/transmit-the-dead-drums-by Here is the .WAV file. Thanks...

Thank you for your support! I appreciate it. And I think my problem may be the speakers I mix with. I have been using my Klipsch desktop computer speakers. I haven't splurged enough to get decent monitors. But, taxes are coming. Maybe I'll finally get some good ones. You can send me some...

I've read all of your comments on the snare. I will admit that it sounded bad. I was really intimidated about taking on that task. But I believe I have fixed it. I completely revamped the drums to make it all fit together. I haven't had a chance to upload it to SoundCloud yet but i have the...

Even though it's not your genre, I appreciate you listening and giving some feedback. The mix in the last one was ok. I think this new one is better. I really need to stop touching this song. I'm pretty sure it's finished now. I think I have achieved satisfaction! Here's the newest mix...

Hello everyone! Here is an update! That last mix had the snare way too loud and there were a few other things that weren't sitting well with me. So, I changed a few things and came up with this. Here's the newest mix! All feedback and criticisms welcome! Here is the .wav if you are...

Ok, guys... I took a decent break from this song and went back to it today. I really like this mix! The snare is fixed and a whole bunch of other things were tweaked and improved. Here is the brand new mix! As always, I appreciate your feedback and advice. I hope you like it. Here is the...

Thanks for listening everyone! After 49 tracks I think it's finally done! I kind of started over with the mix. I broke it down to nothing and built it back up. I think I've addressed the bass and drum issues. I think the whole song sounds better. I got rid of some unnecessary tracks that...

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll definitely work on that snare sound later tonight. I appreciate all of the nice words on the vocals. I'll go in and thicken it up a bit, too. I'll post the new mix as soon as I'm done. Jimmy, if you have a link to those samples, send me a pm. I'll see how it...

Just for fun... Here's a sample of the original song that was recorded at Turkey Vulture Records in 2011. It is shit. That's why I chose to re-record it. The song deserved much better than what it got. The whole album did. It's a night and day comparison.

I like it. The vocals sitting low like that really fits the song well. If you did bring them up, only do it slightly. It has a nice "chant" vibe to it. The loud kick boom should be brought down so that it doesn't kill everything in the mix. When it's triggered, everything else in the song...

I like the song a lot. It's got a cool "driving at night" sound. The only things I could gripe about would be that the kick drum is a little boomy. Just just barely. I would have liked to hear some more highs from the snare. Maybe some reverb on it, too. And the main vocals could use a...

Thank your for listening and giving your feedback and compliments. I agree with what you said about the screams. I adjusted them and now I think they make more sense in the mix. I brought up that lead guitar so that it stands out more. I adjusted the volume so that it's a bit louder but I...

Here is my latest. It's been a while since I've touched this one. I started it back in February and I left it on the back burner. I think it's finally done. As always, I would appreciate it if you'd listen and offer feedback. I understand if you don't. Thank you...

https://soundcloud.com/stat1stick/im-alive-organic-remaster There was something that I had been overlooking this whole time... I had limiters on the bass and the drums and it was making the whole song sound harsh. So, I removed them and made some other changes as well. The song sounds more...

https://soundcloud.com/stat1stick/im-alive I've been mixing and tweaking for a long while now trying to get the sound I want out of this track. I think I have got it right this time. I must have made over 7 different mixes of this song and this is the one that sounds the best so far. I think...
