    Live acoustic and two vocals

    Thank you - I agree with all of this and I wish we could re-record it now! I will post an updated version though in an attempt to subtley fix these things (unfortunately in the mix). It is for a video that takes place in a rectangular room, so I do want it to feel like it's in that room and I'll...

    Live acoustic and two vocals

    Thank you - I hear it now and I'm definitely going to apply some subtle EQ now. I appreciate another set of ears. Devil is in the details.

    Live acoustic and two vocals

    Thanks. Any suggestions as to fixing the space? There is no reverb effect on there, just three different mics, the compression and the natural room sound. I did pan the vocals slightly left and right about 15% - think I should leave them centered or pan them harder for clarity?

    Live acoustic and two vocals

    There's bleed on the tracks. Not sure if male vocal is too sibilant - will listen again in morning. Can you understand the words clearly? Is it too airy? Does acoustic envelope the vocals? Used a studio projects b1 on the female, sm7 on male, and oktava mk012 on the acoustic. Did a little bit...

    What have I done?

    Ok - I've narrowed the problem down even more. The issue only occurs in multitrack view (I'm using Audition 1.5) when I lock the tracks. Unlocked it sounds fine... any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What have I done?

    I have been working on mixes for a few days and most mixes are fine, but on one or two sessions I am now getting terrible distortion - it appears as if the entire mix is limited to a specific volume... say I put the master volume at -6dB... the mix won't go above -6dB, it will just distort the...

    Live in-studio, lots of bleed over in the mics...

    Hey - it's been awhile since I posted. I don't know if there's much more I can do to this mix, but I'd love to hear any suggestions or comments. We did it live in one room, two acoustic guitars, two voices... just like back in the day. Lots of bleed over in the mics. Let me know if you hear...

    I need your ears

    It's actually a foot stomping on the ground, EQ'd for effect, combined with the sound of us hitting our guitars - good ears

    I need your ears

    @Murdersgalore thanks for the feedback - actually never heard anyone say it was a rock ballad before so thanks for that perspective. For the past year and a half we've heard it called blues, folk, roots, and americana. We opted to go with no drums to recreate what we do live, which is why the...

    I need your ears

    Been awhile since I posted. This is for a new project of mine... been touring around mid-atlantic (North Carolina, Virginia, DC, Maryland) for awhile building it up, getting ready to release an EP. There's a 6 string acoustic, a 12 string, a bass, and two vocals on this track. Any constructive...

    Videos

    I think YouTube is becoming increasingly important for musicians so me and my guitarist have decided to release one video a week throughout the month of November to promote the release of our upcoming CDs. Let me know what you think: http://www.michaelchagnon.com/main.htm Right now two are...

    Time for a new sound card...

    Hey fellas, it's time for a sound card upgrade. My budget is between $300 and $500. I'd love at least 4 inputs, MIDI input and output, and built-in preamps. I'd love for it to be compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP and possibly Linux. Any recommendations will be greatly, greatly appreciated...

    Promotion Through Free Demos!!

    Just got back from a week long tour of Florida which went better than I could have ever expected and printed up 100 of the digital download cards for the tour. They went over very well... we sold them for a donation of any amount and the physical CDs for $5. The tour blog is on my website and...

    I've resorted to YouTube

    You can do it, but think of that as just one revenue stream in your arsenal of tools. Now sign up with CD Baby if you haven't already done so and begin collecting a small amount through iTunes and other digital distribution services. Perform live as much as you can and sell albums - they don't...

    Promotion Through Free Demos!!

    Follow up: Adoption of the free digital download cards has been slow. I will post an image of them on this thread shortly. Despite the slow adoption, they have been used. I find that physically handing someone a card makes for better results. I will be doing a week long tour in Florida beginning...
