Yeah, definetely. :)

Argghhh the balance in volume between the bass and the drums has been the main thing I've struggled on with the mix. Today I turned the drums down a little and the bass up a little. To my ears the bass level sounds OK, but admittedly I'm not listening through monitors or anything, just through...

I've just finished mixing an instrumental track I'm working on and to add a bit of polish(I certainly wouldn't call it mastering hehe) I EQ'd the final mix a little, compressed it a little and put it through the Kjaeurhus Master Limiter aswell as adding dithering using the Cubase UV22. I'm just...

Thanks ray :) Yeah, as I get more accomplished with Jamstix and record more stuff I'm sure my drum tracks will improve. There was once a time I used to only use the standard Cubase drums - the results I get with these ones sound 10 times as good as the results I used to get with those :D...

Probably gonna turn down the drums a touch and call it a day - would appreciate some opinions on that new mix though. Sorry to keep asking. :)

Currently I record via my Korg AX1500G using the speaker sims as I don't have a recording amp(sold my Fender Super 60 last summer). I was sceptical about recording this way at first but the results pleasantly suprised me, so I'm pretty happy with it for now. Here's my usual signal chain:- Les...

OK, this is kinda the 'final' mix, although I'm only 95% happy with it so I thought I'd put it up for opinions and feedback. I've polished the mix up with some EQ(Kjaerhus Golden EQ), some compression(Kjaerhus Classic Compressor) and some limiting(Kjaerhus Classic Master Limiter). I also had to...

Cool, thanks - I'll check them out. :)

I've got a Nvidia 6600GT(a Leadtek one) and the fan on it is almost silent. When I bought it I was worried it would be a little on the noisy side but I was pleasantly suprised. :)

Yeah, to be honest I put very little effort into the drums when tracking. I just created a rhythm in Jamstix and pretty much let it jam along to the bass line. All I really did was adjust the volume for the opening part, then turn it up for the main parts. I've had it a while, but I'm just...

Thanks for listening, much appreciated :) I look forward to hearing your thoughts. :)

Thanks for listening :) I dunno, maybe I'd consider a vocal version - my wife is a singer but I dunno if it's really her thing :D It's really just a jamalong, intended to get me back in the recording saddle(haven't recorded anything for almost 2 years). Yeah, I've been struggling with that...

I like it, vocals are pretty good although a little pitchy at times. Perhaps back off on the reverb just a touch. Love the strings. I would have liked to have heard a bigger and brighter piano sound, particularly in the chorus. Very tasteful lead guitar solo there, nice tone too. Overall...

Anyone got any comments on the updated mix? :)

I've worked some more on it EQ-wise, particularly on the bottom end of the bass. I've also made the snare drum a little meatier and the kick a little punchier so it isn't clashing too much with the bass. Would really appreciate some feedback. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=3105...

Really good, epic piece - absoloutely love the piano voicings and the various solos really add to it IMO. The whole thing had a Dream Theater feel to my ears - which is a big compliment BTW. The guitar solo at around 3/4 of the song is outstanding but the sound does let it down a little...

Sounds pretty good to my ears - personally I'd like a bit more bottom end on it though, but it's a definete improvement and I'm sure as you get to grips with the POD you'll get the sounds you are striving for. :)

Just a matter of interest, but do Soundclick allow you to upload covers now? I remember when I used to put stuff on there with my wife we were thinking of putting some up but it always said they were illegal and would be removed. Do you have to get permission?

Athlon 64 3400+ with 1GB here. :)

I had a similar problem, but after replacing the pre-installed PSU with a Seasonic S12 430 and the CPU fan with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 the noise was much less. Also remember to clean out your case, getting rid of the dust buildup every couple of months or so. Here's a superb site for...
