Hey! I have two boom boxes!. I use them to listen to in dangerous environments so I won't cry if they get destroyed;) I don't carry them on my shoulder through town! Re: panning. All I am trying to say is that you can't depend solely on panning to separate things in a mix. If you bring it to...

10db movements on huge sections of bandwidth not drastic or say agressive? I'd say that's very agressive ;) You just have to keep crapy systems in mind. Not mix to them specifically, just like you have to keep big booming systems in mind. It all lies in having the mids right. Of course you...

OH I did not see you are going protools. I would get a protools controller but look into getting your converters from somewhere else. I would got to digidesign and see what's compatable. I know apogee is, but I'm not a protools guy. I would pose the user interface and converter question to the...

With the exception of me it looks like everyone tried to give you valid advise. As for me I have a hard ennough time deciding what I woyuld like to buy when I get a spare $100.00 let alone planning your destiny;) Theres many good choices for interfaces. I personally would not buy anything...

Sounds great! Awesome job. The only thing that struk me a bit was maybe a bit to much 1.5k or so when all the vocal tracks were kicked up. If it was me I'd fiddle around a bit with that to try and eliviate any sharp spots. I'd mess with the backing tracks first and try and leave the main alone...

I have read peoples theories on that before. I can't remember the term they used for it. It's an interesting concept. I have never fully bought into it my self, but can understand the thought process behind it. It's pretty interesting when you use it as an overlay on the moral relativism which...

It was all a bit tongue and cheek Gecko but, point taken. I don't for a minute think that atheism = immoral. On the other hand an atheist is obviously more free to choose their own morality. That leaves the question of from who's point of view? Why would an atheist judge his own morality based...

Sounds really good. I don't think I could have resisted the urge to throw just a little (very little) nice verb over the whole mix and try to place it into an enviroment. I don't like vocals quite that much in my face. That's a personal preferance thing though. I don't know maybe a tad shaved...

A bit bottom heavy and that intro thing has got to come down. Ouch! You need to have a little more going on in the mids all around I think. And trim it up a hair under 80hz. Spread the kick bottom a bit more over the 80hz mark and add some 4k or so to it. Right now if you pull the lows out the...

sounds like a bunch of midrange has been cut out and there's not much in the way of hi's either. F.S.

Laminated, and no more than you have to have. Just put in a piece of 3/8 laminated. It works fantastic. F.S.

That was my point, they do;) Eq'ing the fundamentals is all we are talking about. The the idea of eliminating overlap has never entered anyones mind. It's impossible. dropping a non-fundamental frequency on one instrument by a couple db's so that another instrument who's fundamentals lay there...

It's should always be as needed. Of course if you always use a D112 on your kick drum you are always eqing it the same way as a matter of course ;) The Mic manufacturer has already taken into account that the vast majority of the time kick drums sound better with some pretty drastic EQ'ing and...

Hell, I thought all most all rock and roll music was atheist? I mean it may not come out and say "There's no god" but, plenty of music is written that expresses or encourages any number of actions in a way that suggests no consequences. I mean isn't that an Atheist song? They don't praise or...

Give it to me. I will buy a bunch of stuff, test it to make sure it's good and then ship you the things that I think will work for you. F.S.

For separation of bass and kick I usually start with hi pass filters for the lowend. I tend to set the Kick at around 60hz with a somewhat steep roll off. I set the bass at 80hz with a steep roll off. That way the kick is pretty much the only thing living in the 50 to 80 Hz range. I then push up...

I agree. Another recent non-produced album would be American IV, the man comes to town. Johnny Cash and Rick Rubin. A brilliant decision, not lack of money. F.S.

What the hell? Just sample your guitar and create some midi tracks. That way you can say you played it and get really really tight! F.S.

That would really mess with your drum rolls. Drum rolls ar always rolling/panning high to low away from the hi hats. If you place your floor tom next to the hi hat then there are lots of situations that would sound really odd. For instance, when a full roll on the toms rolls from right to left...

I should have mentioned really focus on your diaphram. Curl your tounge to the roof of your mouth to darken the vowels and keep you from sounding to airy. relxing the throat and letting your diaphram do the work is key. It's fun stuff. Really you are supposed to practice all of this stuff all...
