It's a real cowbell! I am hitting it with a drum stick. I promise! haha.

Ah. I need to try it that way. I always automate last for the simple fact that un-automating and then re-doing it is a PITA.

I am listening on ear buds now. Will listen on monitors tonight. Dude I like the guitar sound. It sounds like you boosted in the 240Hz area and maybe added a touch of reverb relative to the gits I tracked to? One thing orchestration-wise - the leads at the beginning and the one that brings...

I went from PT to logic as well. No regrets. Good rhythms. The snare drum sound seems a little dark to me.

Not an expert here - just a guy who plays classical guitar and records music. I think the quality of the recording is very good. The guitarist - his tone isn't very good by classical guitar standards, but his playing is very musical and nice. I think his fleshy/thin tone makes it difficult...

Each instrument sounds pretty good by itself but I think they are not glued together particularly well in the mix. The vocals and drums have a ton of processing whereas the rhythm electric guitars sounds relatively dry. Maybe more continuity there would help I dunno. When the rhythm guitars...

This probably should have been posted in the mix clinic. I'll comment later when I have more time.

Thanks! Eh I'll take the criticism as motivation. I've been blasted by more respected people than this lol.

Thanks! No reverb?

I know very little about live sound let alone live vocal processing, so any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance. I have two EV ETX35s (powered 3 way speakers). I am happy with them, they are super loud and sound good. Right now I am running sound into them with a Mackie 1604 VLZ. It's mostly...

Classical guitarist here. I've never heard of that builder. Your playing is very nice though.

Firstly let me say I get used to hearing songs a certain way and then I get biased. It is a character flaw. :D I like the guitar balance. There is a kind of weird double cymbal hit at 1:52. It is on the other mix as well. Did I do that? I think the drums are a little low now - especially the...

Sounds good. Fun tune. The piano tidbits are real nice. Same with the guitars. I think the acoustic guitar could have a little more body, more tone. Maybe try a less scooped sound. The ending seems a bit abrupt. Things are panned a lot. I am wondering if more moderate panning would...

Sounds nice and thick. I can't really make out the words. I think some automation for the verses would be good. Try riding faders down on guitars 2 DBs for those sections. (It's not needed on the chorus IMO). The fast section doesn't sound that fast. I think it's because the snare drum...

Listening to mix 3. I like the piano and organ sounds. Nice balance there. Bass is perhaps a shade loud. Half DB or maybe 1. The vocals sound a bit in back of the instruments. That's a stylistic choice. I think you could carve out a touch more space for them.

I really like the wideness and fullness of the guitars. I think maybe a little automation could help. Step the guitars down a little more (1-2 DBs) when the vocals are going on. Love the key sounds and how they blend. Excellent touch there. The ending - I can hear you sliding the guitar off...

Love the bass guitar change. Perfect. Did you EQ the bass drum? It sounds a bit boxy. Perhaps try a mid range scoop (500hz) on it. I dunno. I love the way the cymbals have a nice long dispersion on this tune. I think if you take them down a DB relative to everything else you'll still retain it.

Love the right side guitar tones and squeals at the end. Very nice. Super strong vocals, especially at 1:25. Powerful stuff guys. I am hearing a pop at :08. pop at :32. Very quiet pop at :39. 1:24. At the very beginning there is a high pitched radio interference type sound. Maybe do a cross...

Yeah, you guys are on point. Thanks! The reverbs are now a little inconsistent. I have too much on the vocals and lead guitar - makes them sound separated. I will dial them back some. Not sure what to do about washy cymbals. On my system they sound fine. I did not put any compression on them...

Okay mix 3 is up in the OP. I tried to address the comments about lack of clarity in the drums and the general sound. Previously I was using 3 different reverbs. I have no idea why I was doing that. Beer may have had something to do with it. Anyway, in the new mix there is only 1 reverb and it...
