I got your point. That's why I mentioned poor corners of the planet. I know that $5 is a ridiculous amount on USA but it may be a considerable amount on other places. In Brasil the minimum wage is $225 to work 9 hours a day and still face 4 hours in a bus/train going back-and-forth home to work...

LoL, thank you, I am sure too! :listeningmusic: I am very confident about this. I have used some very good online services in the past and didn't regret. :D On a side note, we are living new times and is silly to assume that online professionals are crappy just because. Anyone that ignore the...

Now this is official: I got at least three responses so far and yes, they will master my whole album for $50. :thumbs up: Miroslav, in life we always get what we pay for. Well... not really, but mostly yeah. I already passed for several situations where the more expensive wasn't the better (and...

Cool, great ideas! :)

MJB, Fiverr seems to be an unbeatable bargain. I checked some of the top reviewed guys and if I got them right they just claim to master a whole 12-track album for as little as $50. I just contacted 4 or 5 of them to confirm if it or if I misunderstood what they advertise (or even if i'ts...

Hi friends, as I said I really don't care about the tunes to have an 'unity' because they are really very different from each other and I sincerely doubt that someone could do them to look alike. LoL! When I first dreamed about to record an album 30 years ago, I had nothing else than an...

Thanks for putting a light on it, Broken_H! :D Damn, I never thought of doing it because in my mind the rendering was associated to create the final version of the mix! :p

Hi! Some times when I record electric guitar (specially arpeggios) I make it using two tracks to alternate chords specially when they are tricky (I record first chord in the first track, second chord in the second track, third chord in first track and so on...). I would like to know how to...

Hey fellows! I am almost done with the mixing of my album (around 10 tunes) and the time for mastering is coming. I don't think that is possible to make the tunes to sound similar to each other because conceptually they weren't not recorded with this intention/concern -- I used different drum...

I have very small experience mixing because I don't do it as a job -- just producing my own stuff. Anyway, in my 'improvised studio' I have a pair of cheapo Edifiers monitors and a pair of vintage hi-fi loudspeaker with two 8" woofers each (clearly have a lot more bass). Lately I have found...

You nailed it Farview. All in all it never will be a fair battle! ;)

Sure, I got your point. I wasn't talking about the space for bands in radios though, but about quality itself. I think I couldn't explain myself correctly. What I mean is that for some reason -- for my ears -- the stuff made by small studios is not comparable with thing produced by...

Loved that. I am in this category and probably will stay there! :D On a side note, I don't know if I am being too drastic but... the fact is that I grew up playing guitar in a few garage bands in middle 80s. At that time you only had two types of studio recordings: demo tapes and industry...

Excellent advice Bouldersoundguy! I will certainly do that! Thank you! :)

Cool, mjbphotos, very valuable tips! 1) I will make some tests. As far as I can see my microphone setup is wrong: The pop filter is almost touching the mike (like 1/2 inch) and I am singing away from it (like 2 inches or so far from the filter). I think that it explains why even cranking up the...

Hey all! After finally to get close of finalization of my two first albums, I am starting to get prepared to move forward. Till now I have worked with very limited resources and am thinking what I can do to improve things, preferably not spending money as I already will have to buy a simple...

Hey fellows, Thanks for the excellent inputs! Tadpui has mostly nailed it and the issue is mainly in my mixing room (that has any acoustic treatment) since that when I hear it in my headphones the problem disappear. Now look that and tell me if it is weird: right after to see that the mix...

I have a tune that is a kind of underground rock with a constant beat (thump-thump-thump...) with bass and kick getting together (2 bass beats for each kick beat). It is a simple bass progression (A-G-F#-F) and each bass note is played 8 times (8A, 8G, etc...). When the bass is at A note kick...

Here it goes a few odd ideas... If your problem is timing, probably you are only missing the movement of your rhythm hand as an aid to make the sung notes drop correctly. In this case just pretend to play an air guitar while you sing may help. It works for me. Now if you really need to feel the...

Tadpui, since I read your previous post I imagined that I was doing the thing the wrong way. Basically I think that due to my inexperience and ignorance in the mixing subject I was trying to do mix and master at the same time. This morning I revisited a couple tunes that I had called as...
