:eek: LOL....im so retarded sometimes.....

i dont think there ARE any secrets. Its all about talent and experience. Its almost like its another form of art! I think of it as like being a painter/artist..... when you choose which brush to use, you know how to hold it, how much pressure to apply....and what the outcome of the stroke will...

....I dont get it.........?

i still feel the backing guitars lack something....... they lack "life" and seem to brittle.......I like how they are nice and crisp/present, but now it lacks body and "umpphhhh".

ok, i took one last stab at this mix.....its driving me nuts!!!! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=465137&songID=7104494 Im listening to other songs for reference, and it sounds like im getting close......

i understand........ i am using my ears, cause both curves ive A/B'd against are both telling me it still doesnt sound right...... is this EQ matching tool just worthless junk then? I try to use it more of a learning application, so i can listen and see the changes so i know what to listen...

ok, please dont start throwing tomatoes at me yet...... but i do use Izotops Ozone EQ to try to "EQ/Master" my home mixes. But what ive found out, is that the "matching eq" type drasticly changes> for example.....Ill take a snapshot of SONG A, and match it to my mix, thus its telling me to...

aside from the crazy guitar playing..... is the mix whacked? did it improve from the previous mixes?

ok, i did a complete remix on this. I took everyone's suggestions, and just re-did it. I also used a different "reference song" from the previous that i was listening to. how is it now? Should be completly different...

ok, i lowered all guitars , added a bit of 750-800k on the snare to pop it up a bit, added some 3.5-4k in the bass guitar just to brighten it just a tad bit. how does it sound now? (same link above) the funny thing is....it sounds alot more brighter/clearer than first mix.........

which guitar parts are overpowering? is it the lead guitar panned center? or the backing guitars panned left/right? do you think the guitars are a bit too smooth sounding, thus taking away the warmth of the drums? hence making them sound thin?

I just finished recordin it. I have not listened to it on other playback systems (HI-fi, car stereo, etc) as of yet.... its crappy 192kb MP3 quality, but should be ok to get a general thought of how this mix is.... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=465137&songID=7104494...

i actually listen at 2 levels. One pretty low.....almost normal conversation speaking levels....i can almost hear the computer fan running the 2nd one pretty high, bass is now shaking the window glass..... after that, i again listen on a pair of headhones, and really jack the volume WAYYYYYY...

whoops! ok.....mods, please delete this thread.................

I just put up a new website that has a forum, ........quite like this one. An there are sooooooo many of you that really know your stuff (Glen, Chessrock, etc etc...you know who you are!). Can ya'll swing by and check it out? maybe post a thing or 2 to get it started off right? Ya'll rock...

i dont know how to mix "Rubin style".....but when i mix my distorted guitars.... i do add compression. Most of the time if im close micing my amp, it will always pick up a very dark, bassy sound (proximity effect), ............and by adding some compression...it will shave of some of the very...

ill jump in on this old thread......... Of all the So called limiters, and mastering "blah blah blah" ive used.......i found only one that works the best as far as giving decent volume without killing snare drums and dynamics...... Sonic Timeworks Mastering compressor (limiter). Ive tried...

alright, ill chime in here..... heres what i do.....and ill post an example of my latest recordings showing the technique.... a single SM57 right up on the grill, pointing straight forward on the middle of the cone (not the dustcap, which is that lil' round thing in the center of the speaker)...

im mostly a lurker in here....but i love posting about guitar recording.....cause im sooooooo always trying new things..... but i think everyone has coverd/posted the 'tried and true" methods to recording heavy guitar..... -less gain, more amp volume -more mids, less scooping -mic it, dont...

I love the Waves SSL plugs........and if have not downloaded the Chris lord ALGE presets........do it! those presets are awesome starting points for drums........but beware of using his preset for electric guitar....it tends to be pretty bright. but like all presets, its a starting...
