Alot of it probably has to do with only using 57/58's, they are fine for guitar cabs and great for live work BUT they dont have much high end response. have you had/are you able to have experience with some good condensors? Especially the vocals and acoustic guitar. I had a listen to Loves...

unless you want that limited bandwidth distortion sound for an effect... getting it to have a 30's vibe is going to be more about the melody and the arrangement than the processing you doing to it

One of the things people will preach to you is LISTEN... annoying thing is they are in most cases correct. Learning what piece of equipment does what is when to use it will give you the results you want. Compare your track to a recording you like.. Is your vocal too bright/bassy? Use an EQ Do...

laptop speakers so take this with a pinch of salt. I think 2 sounds clearer as it is, but 1 may sound better when mixed

Thanks guys, i have access to autocad at my dads office, is this comparable?

Hi, im wondering which software you use to draw block diagrams? I have to do one of an edit suite at uni for a coursework and everyone is using a photoshop type thing is this the best idea? Im on mac but can use a pc if neccesary

you dont have any panels for first reflections. Was this a decision you made?

could something have upset your buffers (although i doubt 32 would be a problem using itune)?

or.... use two microphones, a close one which you will use for whispers and a far one for louder stuff. This basically the same as having two runs at it.

personally i would say get as much separation as possible, because if you have to correct one vocal then the other will be altered as well

ever heard of bass trapping? foam is generally used to give the impression of treatment, a few rockwool traps would be much less intrusive, ideally your speakers shouldnt be against a wall as it causes LF buildup or "exagerated bass response". Im not one to comment on monitors but having worked...

personally i have found that the better the speakers (consumer or studio) the higher the acuity (ability to pinpoint certain frequencies). I have found that speakers/headphone that sound nice as soon as you try to mix with them its really hard to hear the changes. That being said i am currently...

Thank you again, we have a myspace - www.myspace.com/electricfurs The tracks up are from when i recorded the band in summer before i joined it.:D Nightfire its strange that you say wilco, cause i seem to get that pretty often even though ive never listened a song of theirs (i think ill have to...

i would have thought the early reflections from the floor would be more desirable than the ceiling, and putting clouds is going to be more broadly effecient than carpet which could soak alot of yummy high end

piano is one that greatly depends on the style of the music, i would guess as its an upright it will be pop/rock with full band. For that you want clarity, wide stereo image and not much reverb. Possibly some LDC's in the top, alot of people also like PZM's. Remember, if your not going for an...

thanks that link was nice, some good tips there. heres a newer mix: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=11172 i think its still alittle cluttered but the reverb has helped the snare imo

wow, thanks for all the awesome replys :) So heres the problems people have brought up: Muddy, or cluttered in low mids- Cheers dirk for the mp3, i love when people express themselves with audio. I think i may have to play around with selective cutting from the snare, bass, vocals and guitars...

As you may have of noticed myspace is dying (mainly because it only just being updated with other social networking websites ideas). This leaves a problem, you want to post music, tell people you have gigs but no-one checks their myspace anymore.. Heres my ideas: Get a Website - A .com...

16 hours is unusually long to get a reply, i instinctively went to this one cause it had a higher number :(. I like it, but the guitars are nice and wide and the pad is small and wimpy in the middle, it sounds a bit odd. Also the bell thing is a tad cliche

Heres an early attempt at mixing a track i recently recorded: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=11138 It was the full band tracking in my house which was really fun and the raw tracks sound awesome. I just need some pointers on taking this from sounding okay to amazing :)
