Wow. I try to get the vocalist to do it till it's right. If they just aren't getting it after a while, I'll usually suggest coming back on a different day. Once they are getting frustrated, it rarely gets better.

Hmmm. I wouldn't blame that on the mic. A Noisy preamp is at fault there. I'm generally at 40-50db of gain for Vox with an SM7, so you shouldn't need a whole lot more than that, but it does need to be clean gain.

LOL. You must be the guitarist/vocalist, right? You mixed the stuff on tragicwaste.net?

They generally need a lot of gain as well.....

LOL. This thread was sure good for a laugh. @Jimmys69. It not only amazes me that most drummers can't tune a kit, but most drummers can't keep time worth a crap either. I see nothing wrong with using a sample. Like you said, you can take the WORST kick drum track and make it PERFECT in about...

I never noticed it too be all that noisy - maybe with a poor preamp because it does require a fair amount of gain. Either way, it's not noisy enough to keep Thriller from being the best selling album of all time. Not bad creds......

Again, can't go wrong with an SM7. The samples on Gearslutz didn't seem too bad, but didn't seem particularly deep either. You'd get a lot less harsh top, plus the prox effect would add some weight - if that's what you're looking for.

Maybe my English isn't so good, but he seems to be saying exactly what I said?

You can upload samples to lightningmp3.com I am not too familiar with the 4050, but I've used a ksm32 a bit. Not a huge fan, but don't remember it being to bright. If you're having troubles with harshness on the top end, an SM7 is usually a good bet.

You sure it's not 4.0:1?

I always thought 8:1 meant for every 8 decibels you go over the threshold, it will compress it to one decibel over the threshold. Maybe not?

Sure you can. I don't remember off the top of my head, but when you bounce, it gives you the option to keep the old tracks, and even if you don't keep them, they should still be in the audio pool (unless you dump that, but with computers these days I NEVER do that. Haven't needed to in ages.

I do it ALL the time. Seems like the crappier the guitar tone, the more the guitarist is tied to "his tone". Same with drummers and metronomes - the ones that need it the most are most objectionable to it....... For guitarists, I just wait till they leave and reamp thru a real amp.

You should be able to undo a bounce. (should be an option when bouncing.) At least in Cubase you can, I think all DAW's have this functionality.

Find an impulse from a Lex random hall.

Post a clip if you can.

His mix is much better balanced. Guitar tone is a lot better, but could still be improved. You can hear the bass. I think he's got the vox set back too far, and the cymbals are almost non-existent. He may have just programmed the drums though. That may explain the radical difference in...

Checked out that tune on Myspace - youtube just kills audio most of the time. That mix is much better than your current one, but it's got issues as well. The best thing about it is the performance. The timing is WAY better than what you're working with. Can you beat it? Hard to say. It's...

I'd say you're at 4-5, but without vocals, it's hard to say. I think once vox is added, the drums will be all but gone. I'll give you my opinions on the mix - guitars are too up front as compared to the drums. Guitars are in your face, but the drums sound like they are down the hall...

The one I see up there has been up for 9 hours. It pumps on Every single kick, and stays engaged through the double-kick sections. Sounds really bad IMHO. Also, if that wav form is accurate, you have it set kinda funny. Not sure how you're getting that weirdness. If that's the newest mix...
