    New ballad - "When You're Here"

    Great to hear another song from you! I like the mix with a another vote for pushing the lead geetar back a tad otherwise spot on! You have a really special voice that fits your songs so well. In my years in the business, the one thing you can't buy, mix, sample or engineer is a special vocal...

    How many of you use pitch correction for your own vocals?

    Tend to agree with miroslav, what she meant aside. It reminds me of the reverb battle that often ensues. In the end it's really about how the tune sounds. Use it, don't use it, whatever makes your music sound like you want it. Don't record others anymore (sold studio) but if a band came in...

    Piano and Vocals, Jazz/Pop

    First off, I don't have much experience with this type of Jazz but I think the recording is excellent. I can't see any improvements necessary to overall technical recording. Your vocal is clear and well recorded, the reverb sounds spot on to my ears. I really like the tone of piano. Because...

    desperate for a good acoustic guitar strumming plugin

    The two I use are Real Guitar and Kontakt Strummer two different products but both capable of good sounds. Real Guitar is probably more accessible since you don't need to setup the Player. Real Guitar has a lot of nice strumming patterns built in and with the double track option it can sound...

    New morning - acoustic pop with vocal harmonies master/mix

    Took a listen, liked and commented on Soundcloud! Really great tune, very catchy and the vocal work is spot on. Just for one set of ears, I liked the "premastered" version better, the only thing I would have done is bring the lead vocal up just a bit. Took a second listen and the mastered...

    What can I do to improve this?

    Hi Mate! Listen to your track. The one thing I would concentrate on is cleaning up the bottom end. I was listening on some really good headphones and the low end needed more definition. How do you do that? First selection of instrument to hold down the bottom, you might want to change to...

    First Post --- Please critique my mix

    Hi Listen to your track and overall I like the tune. The number one thing that is excellent and always important is the quality of the lead vocal, really well recorded. What was the chain and mic used? Not a big synth guy but I really have no criticism. I do think that the word "soul" at...

    Double tracking vocals

    Used to double track when I used the old Studio 8 and I also used the mentioned technique of putting the second track about 6 down from the original and then stereo delay it. In those days Alesis made a MidiFx unit and their Stereogen presets really worked well. But with digital, it all became...

    Mixers wanted! Pop rock tune

    Thanks so much for checking out my "80's" stuff. My dad had this type of music playing all the time when I was growing up and I've found that with the difficult music business, it's best to write and record music you like yourself. In the end you have some tunes that you can enjoy yourself. My...

    Moving up to 96K/24bit

    In the studio the 96K sounds better on some of the plugins optimized at that rate, like Nebula. It's crazy talk but it improves the quality of the silence. The problem is the final mix file leaves the studio in some form and it all kind of goes back to listening standard and a lot of the...

    Mixers wanted! Pop rock tune

    Great tune! Very catchy. If you could mix the the drum sound from Btyre and the upfront vocals of GT. Everyone did a great job on their mixes. We messed around with it at Sound Advocate, they have an old Neve. I could never find the snare sound, most of the pop was in the room tracks...

    Best reverb that won't alter the sound

    I would stay with the ones you have and that phase cancellation tip is spot on. I still keep some of my old trusty box reverbs around for live work but they're such a hassle to hook up and get the right tone in my DAW. I've also started to here the a bit of metallic sound from a really top...
