    Sisters song again... tried to pan things out a bit... any thoughts?

    So... as much as I am a mono mixer by nature, I have tried to pan things out in the song. Didn't really make any instrumental changes, but through an autotune on her voice slightly, we will probably do another take soon though... put some stereo delay on her voice to get it "bouncing around" as...

    heyyyy got a mix for you to yell at :)

    Also have to agree with what everyone else said... I really do hope to see you posting some awesome stuff in here a year from now!! Ugh... I don't even want to think about the first things I posted... it makes me cringe.

    heyyyy got a mix for you to yell at :)

    Dude... I generally try to be as generous as I can... but that sucks... and I'm not talking about your mixing, I'm talking about the band. And the tone... and the way the drums were tuned... everything about what was captured is just horrible. Honestly... I don't even understand how you got...

    [Click]? :) One verse, it's an alternative rock'ish tune.

    Man that sounded pretty darn cool!! I want to hear the rest of it though man!!! Honestly... the beggining where everything comes in makes me feel like I'm playing Megaman on Super Nintendo... :D

    Wilbur's back. And this time it's heavy. (Snare Help?)

    I'd have to say one thing that would help is micing the underside of the snare(as well as the top of course.) I'd reccomend a Beta57 but an sm58 or regular 57 would also work great. It makes a huge difference man, it has made a world of a difference in my recordings... other than that I'd just...

    WARNING!!new Christian Song. Listen if you can.

    Sounded pretty good bro, I think it's cool what you're doing. I agree about maybe adding in a female harmony... a lot of people may not realize it but most of the recordings I've posted if not all of them are Christian artists... nobody has ever given me a hard time about it, but who knows. I...

    New song by my sister... what do you think of the mix?

    Hmmm... it seems like I'm getting a pretty solid consensus here and from other people I've showed the song to that it needs two main things... widen out the mix a bit, and bring down the overall level of the drums. I think I have this fear about panning... like, that it will sound great in...

    New song by my sister... what do you think of the mix?

    Thanks man, I'm gonna be gone for a few days but when I get back I'll remix the song. And to answer your question, yeah... I'm the drummer, bassist and guitarist. I had a friend play piano, he came up with that intro riff thing. My sister wrote the song though, so all credit goes to her for...

    Heavy Metal Funky Monkey

    Very interesting... I'm into a lot of death metal/hardcore stuff, sounded pretty good for that genre. The only though I had is that I never hear that much reverb on screaming vocals like that... The mix was very tight... like almost too tight though, like it sounded small, but that might just...

    I record everything at home...critique?

    I listened to the first three. I thought they were fine singing, and your voice doesn't sound bad to me at all, just timid. And it sounds like you might not have the best mic either... but still, the songs are pretty cool and I can hear all the instruments quite clearly. The only things I...

    What do you guys think of this mix, and song?

    I'm suprised so many of you like the mix... I don't consider myself to be the best mixer, I'm really still new at it. But this is one of the first mixes where everyone seems to like it... I did get a suggestion from a friend about bringing the mids up in the synth sounds, and bringing the highs...

    Some help with my mix...

    Dude, I like your voice better than the guy who sings this song... seriously, I never really liked it until I heard your version. As for the mix, the guitars I think need to be thinned a bit and brought down and the drums need some body to them, they aren't very present at all. But I really...

    What do you guys think of this mix, and song?

    Well, I can't say I didn't ask for your opinion on the matter. :) I'm glad you like the mix though.

    What do you guys think of this mix, and song?

    Thanks for the input, I am not suprised that many of you don't like it though... this guy has a very different sound and I kind of want to just represent him the best I can by supporting that sound. It's not exactly the pop/radio type sound, and many people aren't into it, but it's his art and...

    What do you guys think of this mix, and song?

    Ha ha, thanks. Well like I said, he has a very "interesting" sound. Some people love it, some people hate it... and some people just don't know what to think. For me, it's sort of grown on me. Does anyone have any specific critiques on the mix?

    What do you guys think of this mix, and song?

    http://www.jamesharmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/whats-going-onquickmix.mp3 This guy writes some interesting stuff.... There are no real drums until the end. But anyway, I've never produced anything like this before, any thoughts on it? All input is appreciated.

    Having a hard time with female vocal...

    Well, she is coming over Friday and I will have a lot of time to watch the videos you guys posted etc. I'm hoping not to have to change much about the lryics and singing, hopefully she can just get it right. And Jeff, thanks for the comprehensive there... it gives me something to do for a...

    Having a hard time with female vocal...

    I hope I can convince her to do something like that. Do you have any thoughts though on how to mix it in better? Most of her songs aren't anything like this, they aren't really edgy and are much slower so what I usually do with her voice isn't good. Somebody had suggested stacking, but it...
