Excellent, thanks so much, rayc. I am just going to do the last couple changes that mjbphotos suggested above and then this one is waiting to be mastered with the rest of the complete tracks. I appreciate it. I feel like the honesty around here is pretty unique to HR. Nobody lets anything get...

Thanks dobro! I was hoping you would listen and chime in. An Avantone Mixcube is definitely on my future purchase list. Happy to learn that it is translating there. Cheers.

Instrument all the way! I had an M-Audio Fast Track Pro. I bought a Les Paul. It sounds beautiful tracked through the Fast Track Pro. I bought an RME Fireface UCX. It sounds beautiful tracked through the UCX. A quality instrument made a much bigger impact on me and on the quality of my...

Unfortunately, I can't retrack that last guitar because I don't have either of the guitars that were used on this track anymore. I can see if I can do some editing to add more ringing out chords there instead of trying to rely on reverb to trail out (unless you mean the lead noodling of course)...

Go with elm...

Thanks, Mike. Volume increase/decrease This is how the song is written/played, but I can appreciate that the difference may be a touch too stark, so I'll brought the verses up by ~1dB each. I do want contrast here. I don't want it to be too drastic. Does this work better? Bass/kick I was...

Listened to the second mix. I like this. I feel like I should be sitting at my local watering hole with a bunch of old dudes, drinking the night away and listening to fascinating stories of the good old days. That's just the image I get. Yeah, I'm a bit off. Getting a lot of...

Synth was unexpected in a good way [edit:, but I must admit that on my second and third listen, I started liking it a little less. As a disclaimer, I am not a 'synth guy', so don't put too much stock in this]. Really excellent and interesting arrangement. Really well thought out and crafted. I...

Sorry for not responding earlier, Tadpui. The forum was down for a bit and then I went on a fishing trip with my kids. Awesome vacation, but no access to forums or anything of the sort (which is kinda good, I suppose). Before I left, I re-amped the left guitar with a cleaner amp. The previous...

Could be personal taste, but I am finding the drums way too roomy. Normally, I like the sound of the room with a kit quite a bit, but maybe I am just not partial to the room you are recording in. Maybe this is where DenDaj is coming from? Sounds like it's done in a laundry room or something...

Got it working just now. This is a beautiful song. I remember this from the other forum a long time ago. It made an impression on me then, and it still does. I really love this song. The mix sounds really good to me, except I am getting a harshness in the 6kHz area. Using ReaEQ on this mix, I...

Sounds like you've got stuff mixed pretty well here. The transition at 12 seconds is cool. It doesn't breathe a whole lot and everything is just sort of congested and super steady. I suppose it is typical of heavy chugga sorta tunes, and it appears that you want it to be like this (and you...

Very low fi. I say if you really want to mix this and release it, embrace what you've got and just try to make it sound as good as you can. It sounds like it was recorded in a club. Go with it. I am guessing that the amount of room/other instruments captured by each microphone are big problems...

Can't get this to play in either Chrome or Firefox here, Ricky. I'm in my studio right now. I tried to play this a few hours ago from my work and couldn't get it to play there either. :confused:

Cool riffs, cool grooves and great playing. Love the little dissonant bits. Nice tones all around. Nice, thick low end on the guitars and the bass. The drums and the vocals don't have the same sense of heft as the guitars and bass. Got the same sense with the lead. To bring the different...

Updated mix. Thanks a lot for the feedback thus far. I considered all the mix critique very carefully, and I made the following changes: - Subtle low shelf on the toms to drop the ring ever so slightly. - Enwettened the vocals a touch (actually noticed an error in the chorus where I...

Greg, I have all the exact same questions that you have.

I know you are having a conversation with teh gerg, but thanks for having it publicly. This particular post was just an "ah-ha" moment for me.

I want in on this because I am one of those dudes who doesn't know anything about anything. I just play notes and move my fingers around until I stop screwing up, then I hit record. I'm going to try to learn the pattern blocks that cakewalkKaKed posted and then I'm going to give up and go back...

Vocalist sounds close to the microphone. Picking up a lot of proximity effect and it sounds like it was sung pretty quietly and with too much reserve. Musically, I am digging the sounds and how everything is coming together. In particular, I'm digging the opening guitar tone. The vocals...
