    Boy Band

    Real nice sounding mix. I like the overall character of the mix, the last few mixes i've heard from you have similar character. Real nice guitar sounds-not too polished-very real sounding. I like the plunking guitar melody-very cool. Vocals sit very well, your enunciation is and pitch is very...

    Love and War

    This is an old song-i probably posted it on these boards over 10 years ago. I'm trying to get my singer buddy to come over-he lives about 30 minutes away and has family, traveling job, (a real life)...So he requested i record this for when he finally does make it over someday (likely never). I...

    Drum Recording

    Depending on the drum part you can just cut around the toms in your daw if they're not playing alot. Easier and more final than using a gate which might need adjusting as you turn tom tracks up and down.

    Just listened again and i'd be willing to bet there's a shaker percussion of some kind in there.

    Need Help Identifying This Effect Please

    It took me a few minutes to find out that Vivian Campbell was using a les paul into a marshall jcm 800, with a distortion pedal possibly a boss ds-10 which was popular back then. The harmonizer thing i mentioned above was an effect that gave what i called an "LA" (west coast) guitar sound-a...

    When setting everything to infinity

    He must have said unity as that is what he's done in the 2nd mix photo. I agree with this philosophy-get the mix more or less happening adjusting the actual clip volume(s), then use the fader to fine tune as the gradation of level change is smallest around 0 so you can get more detailed fine...

    Eventide Harmonizer would be my guess.

    Early Mix of a New song

    I assumed for the longest time that brubeck must have been the saxophonist since it's the leading instrument/melody, was very surprised he was actually the pianist!

    Did I over mix this?

    Great song again-performances excellent. Sounds kinda low-midrangey to me overall-the guitars(autoharp?) are confusing as you're playing ukuelele range notes with alot of midrange right into the vocal range. Snare or drums in general seem like they could be brightened, i like the bass but it...

    Space and Time - All Acoustic 90s Grunge/Rock Song

    Sounds good, I like the feel of the song alot and a nice change to the chorus... it would sound less like those bands you mentioned if it didn't have the constant bu vocal, that seemed to be very defining of AIC is my first thought. I wouldn't think of aic if that bu vocal only came in during...

    How cool, to mix horns! Can't say i've ever done that. I think the mix is pretty good-i can hear every element, but it sounds a little dark overall, and everything sounds like it needs to come forward a bit, maybe that's saying the same thing. At times it almost sounds phasey but i think it's...

    Poor Ian - first song with new nylon string guitar

    Nice sounding mix-Vocals sound clean and quiet. I would have solidified the melody/phrasing in a couple of spots (eg: the phone line) during the verses but thats just my own taste. I expected realistic sounding strings and to me these sound pretty organ-y like they have a chorus effect on-i...

    Mayfield: Now with Jimistone

    Nice song, nice mix. I can only nit pick, everything sounds nice and clean and in its own space. I thought the delay was a bit heavy on the open guitar riff, the backup vocals sound like they need to be developed a bit, a female voice in the bu would be extra prima good, something about the bu...

    Can I get feedback on a new folks/rock song?

    Sounds like a good song, I agree with Robus about the mastering, it sounds unnecessarily hyped in the high end and lacking in the low. The drums and bass sound like an afterthought, the drums sound obviously artificial, the snare sound is pretty vanilla and i don't really hear the kick drum or...

    bipolargressive

    Thanks Brutish; Keith Rogers, Bulls Hit, jgwire, jimistone and Nola for listening. Your comments made me adjust my monitors, i rolled some bass out and turned down my sub and tried to push more bass from the mix itself. I also re-recorded the bass with a less fuzzy tone and more bottom end, the...

    How to fix amateurish mixes?!

    Hello Tan-There is an mp3 mixing clinic where people can get there mixes listened to, you might want to post this there. I listened to the clip and even though its out of my genre and short, it sounded lacking in the bass, i expected my sub to be rumbling but it didn't budge. My suggestion would...

    Ooh Pa Do

    Cool tune, I agree with Robus it sounds a little crowded, like everything is panned center. Not a big fan of the bass tone-seems to be lacking some low end and conflicts with the guitar a bit imo. Vocals sound well recorded and good performance. There's a few places towards the end of the song...

    have yourself a Merry little Christmas

    Excellent-your voice fits the key of the song perfectly, great performance! If i had to nitpick-when the drums come in it almost sounds like a hiss? I can't really hear the snare so much just a sssss kind of sound...Anyway sounds great, reminds me of being at aunt doris' house for christmas when...

    Interlude

    jeez man-sounds like the sounds are actually in front of the speaker lol. I read of your fau pax with micing-i would not have noticed. You must have got a 4-710? I've looked at that piece many times but the price won't drop even after several years on the market. I really like the drum sounds...
