    Overproduced post-hardcore/screamo critique

    i could only listen to the first 30 seconds. The mix is tight, so you did your job well. The band is horribly generic and after a few seconds of whining i just said fuck this. However, what i will say positive is, as much as i loathe this bubble gum, your (over)production is very good. i don't...

    i should know the answer to this by now...

    cool cool, as i suspected.... thats pretty much how i have been handling it...haven't had trouble with head room... plenty of dynamics... i just throw a limiter on the master at -0.3 without compression, keeping the threshold at 0.

    sleeping through the riots...(what is wrong with my mixes?)

    howdy, hi and salutations... So i wrote and recorded this album in less than a week... but it has seemed to take me at least 4 months to mix... I think I'm happy with the mixes, but there are things poking out and pissing off my eardrums... anyone have any suggestions? Music page of Cats...

    That was then, but this is now.....

    back in the day, i'm almost embarrassed, but the concepts of subtractive eqing, compression, panning and tasteful reverb just didn't speak to me.. then one day i bought a book and a half oz of weed... sat on the toilet for about 3 hours, read it while doing bong rips, and all of a sudden... it...

    i should know the answer to this by now...

    when mixing, would anyone say it is important to get hot levels from the get go on the instrumental and vocal tracks, or just set them relative and go straight for the master faders? either way, if i crank the track faders, then the master fader doesn't go up much... or if i skimp the tracks...

    Fix it in the mastering?

    I'm having very similar issues lately..feeling good about my mixes... until i listen to Tool...then i assume my mixes are crap. I just spoke to someone at a well known mastering studio though, and the guy basically told me that as long as my frequencies are in the right places, they can handle...

    What's your favourite "dry sounding" album production?

    i've been enjoying the shit out of Danzig 1,2, and 3 lately. Those are among the driest albums I've ever heard... flat 70's drums and invisible bass and all... Glenns voice peaks out a load too.. very raw... and untreated.
