    Mix This: Cover of 'A Long December' by Counting Crows

    Thanks for the mixes BoulderSoundGuy and Toveco. It's nice to hear the different approaches different people take. :) It's also interesting to see that most mixers felt like it needed something more added into the 'moment of silence' bit near the end (just before the final "And it's one more...

    Reducing controller keyboard key noise in vocal take

    As a piano/keyboard player trying to record vocals, I recently discovered that I get a much better vocal take if I record the proper keyboard first, then play piano along into a dummy track while singing. The key to the vocal is to be playing while singing. That's all fine, but I was getting a...

    Mix This: Cover of 'A Long December' by Counting Crows

    OK yeah... sorry I went over the top there on the feedback. Thanks for the tips. I never would have thought of doing that with the high piano. Still, thanks very much for the mix, I really like it.

    Mix This: Cover of 'A Long December' by Counting Crows

    Re: The mix Hi Btyre, Thanks for the compliments. :) I listened on my good headphones, basic earbuds and PC speakers. I haven't had a chance to listen to it on a hi-fi or car speakers yet. At one point my little daughter was listening to this mix with me and she kept asking me to put in on...

    Mix This: Cover of 'A Long December' by Counting Crows

    Hi Soendergaard, Funny that the first mix back should be a semi-remix. :) Thanks for that. Do you have any time to give it one more pass? I liked the concept, and listened to it on a few different speakers. I noticed that the slap back delay is coming across a bit strongly on the vocals and...

    Recording Bass/Baritone Vocals

    Thanks guys good tips. I'll apply this when I record myself. MixSit: I like your linked project: Ray Catfish Copeland. Good clear mix. I can hear everything with good EQ balance. Actually that leads me on to Question 3: Would you be willing/able to share a short clip of one of the lead vocal...

    Recording Bass/Baritone Vocals

    I'm just about ready to begin tracking vocals for a song I'm recording. The song is a fairly mid range male vocal (Bb below low C to Bb below middle C, so about an octave). Being a bass, I'd like to bring out a lot of the full bodied bass-ness of the vocals, but not sure about recording close...

    Philip Glass Explains it All

    Just a thought on the chorus vocals. I know this is an old trick, but it just might work here: Make a copy of the vocal track(s) and keep it entirely (or nearly) clean. (You might or might not want to match some of the eq/panning) Then adjust the level between the two until you get the right...
