Dude, there's a lot of crap going on with Ozzy/effects and vocals that IMO actually accentuate any little thing that is not exactly on the mark. I'm sure they spend hours tweaking every little thing so your not that far off. I would say that I think the emotional push in your vocals could be a...

First, I think this overall is not bad but there are problems. The intro guitar/effect(s) are off and sound out of tune which is sonically challenging for the vocals. Vocals are flat in spots throughout the song (e.g., 0.26, 1.19, 1.28, 1.4, 2.58, 3.40, etc.). In addition, the guitars IMO are...

"I don't get it. Are you saying I'm singing flat/sharp?" Yes.

In a word....Melodyne

These are some good options. I would also throw in a Telefunken M80 on snare (way better than the 57 IMO) and the M82 on kick. However I would say that you have some pretty decent stuff already so is there something that you don't think you're getting out of the equipment you have?

Well until you get the kit sounding good and balanced in the overheads the rest IMO is moot. Most of the overall drum sound comes from the OH s unless you are just using them as cymbal mics. Recorderman is the easiest to set up. If you have problems with that then you don't have it set up...

Melodyne all the way....

Good luck.... and if you do make to the Grammys make sure say hello. I be the old burnt out dude in the zebra paints and dark shades.

For tracking you need closed back to minimize bleed and for mixing (which is not really preferred) you should use open back. I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 Pros (open back) that I use to support my main monitors during mixing. I will say these cans rock and IMO loosely have a "Genlec...

Track dry but put effects, not just reverb but something similar to what might be the final effects in the cans. Can make a huge difference IMO especially if you plan on using delays during mixing since the singer can actually time/sing/phrase against those delays. Difficult to do if all they...

Don't get old.... Wait; that won't work.

Here's one that's on the short list. Neve - not sure much gets better. Rupert Neve Designs – RNDI: Active Transformer Direct Interface

A Yeah... Not so much.

Look this is a endless learning experience so don't anything discourage you. But what you are describing is exactly why you should never solo individual tracks and tweak them on their own out of context of the rest of the instruments. If you do that you will usually end up with a mix that...

First I'm not trying to be a dick but if you are capturing the guitar sound you want during tracking and at mix time you change your mind or doubt your choices, I'm not sure how any mic combination addresses that. I will say IMO you are experiencing the same frustrations we all run into. Hind...

Just to calify I mean set send volume up to 0dB. You want a good signal hitting the side chain

Don't know logic but you add a send to the kick track, set send fader to 0, use that send to trigger the side chain on the compressor for the bass.

First question is what are you trying to achieve and what is keeping you from achieving it? Others have provided some widely proven mic combinations (all really good - I would through a Royer 121 in there too) but you own the most widely used mic for capturing a guitar on countless...

Now that is the nuance isn't it.

You forgot razor blades. Now that's old school. Boom
