If the monitors are a little too high, consider some of those isopads that point the monitor downwards a little bit. And I think more important than what you've shown us here, is where is this going to be in the room?

right on, just clarifying. :)

Simply doubling a track will not give you this same effect, it will just make that track louder. You need to actually record more than one take.

It could be my poorly treated room, but my Rokit 8s seem to have more of a frowning eq to them compared to the variety of other reference speakers I check on, and my mixes end up smiley. :D

Right, an envelope is not really an effect in itself, but effects can have envelopes. For example, you could have an envelope that causes an EQ or phaser to turn on or off, or you could have an envelope that causes a phaser's frequency sweep to move from wide to narrow. Almost any knob or fader...

I would do it something like this: oh yeah, and get treatment

An envelope is basically where you set automation parameters for stuff like volume, panning, effects etc. Say you want your song to fade out, you would set that in the master volume envelope.

Could it be the room? Maybe those frequencies are resonating in the room, do you have treatment? Or maybe it could be a cheap guitar? I dunno, just some ideas.

I doubt latency is your problem. Since you are trying to line up a drum pattern with a song that has already been recording, you need to figure out what the BPM of the song is and set your DAW accordingly. It could be that the band did not play to a click track and because of that, there will be...

You don't have to, but since you said you were having trouble hearing where the loop began, I thought a bass drum would set it off. A click track can be anything that you can keep a rhythm to. sounds like you don't have the 'snap-to' function enabled in your DAW, that function basically locks...

I sometimes find it hard to play to a metronome as well, You need to include a kick drum in the pattern. That will start it off for you. Try playing this pattern or mousing it into the pianoroll. KICK HAT SNARE HAT. Or, its probably because your click track isn't as long as the drum pattern...

I try to get my mixes to around -3 to -6 and then add a compressor and then tweak some more then check it without the compressor. I sometimes find that when I compress a mix some surprises pop out, so if I can get the mix to sound good with or without compression, I feel like it's a better...

I remember buying a metal cd when I was like 15 and even then thinking "this sounds terrible" After that first listen I disliked the album and have only recently listened again. Now I realize why I thought the album was so bad, it was the mixing! There was no snare and the low end was seriously...

Yeah, it's a little hard to hear the sub kick on my RP8s. When I flip to my secondary monitors (with 12" woofers) the sub kick becomes a little too much, just a tad though. Other than that, the mix sounds pretty good.

I like my KRK RP8s, but like Chili said, you can't really know what you want until you hear it in your room. And get treatment.

Ah yes indeed, by behind my desk, I mean between the desk and the wall. They don't seem super far apart, i think like 50 inches, but my desk isn't that big. My secondary monitors actually are behind me, but I spin around when I turn those on. They're even further apart because they are halfway...

Cool, just let me know when you get some free time.

Hey man, what's been going on? Just seeing if you wanted to get up and do something again sometime, maybe this time we can actually whip out a tune.

For your problem of computer noise, I think they make gobos that you can put around your computer which may or may not work. How small is the room? If you keep the mic facing away from the computer with the mic level somewhat low, you might not get noise anyway. I personally would not want to...

my monitors are behind my desk :confused:
