    Greg_L mix contest/clinic/critique - just for shits and grins

    Any way you could upload to something other than megaupload? I am trying to snag it but its going sluggishly slow, and then the download dies. :(

    "Illustrations" Rock Mix

    I use Voxengo, a frequency analyzer. I think this will do the job. So I want to shoot for -18dB and -11dB RMS, then?

    "Illustrations" Rock Mix

    I have always had a problem getting a good level for my mixes. A few years back, NL5 and SSG mentioned that the mix should peak around -3 dBFS? Is this correct?

    "Illustrations" Rock Mix

    This isn't a cover :) Good stuff right here. I'll lose some of the reverb on the snare and add some to the toms. Even after years of recording and mixing, I have yet to "learn" my gear and know its quirks about how it represents what is tracked. Glad to get more opinions from others with...

    "Illustrations" Rock Mix

    Uploaded a new mix. Made it a little quieter, added some compression to the guitars and smashed the vocals out a little bit! Also added some more reverb to the drums.

    "Illustrations" Rock Mix

    Just wondering if you guys wouldn't mind giving me a few pointers on mixing this particular song. I know its a little loud. That is one of the first things I will address as I continue to mix this. * The drums were recorded in a smaller room, with reverb added in later. The kick and snare...

    The 90s Sound

    We're working on our CD and have recorded a few of the tracks. Looking to get kind of a 90s feel out of the disc. Maybe along the lines of Stone Temple Pilots or Smashing Pumpkins. Any tips for the distorted guitars and the drums? I was thinking a few of the Pumpkins tracks had a little bit...

    Demo song

    I think the production is pretty cool. I wish more songs had different instruments in them than just guitar, drums, and bass (YAWN). Love the piano! Really adds a lot to the production here! Digging the guitar tone too. What was the amp/mic configuration?

    funk tune...mix suggestions and/or friendly comments

    Thanks for the feedback! I did notice the hi hat as well, and did some volume automation on the overheads to compensate. I wish I would have miked the hi hat separately for further mixing options...whoops! I will be posting some other songs soon as well :) Thanks again!

    Why do CDs sound better turned up?

    I was listening to an Alter Bridge CD today and realized that when it was turned down, it sounded kind of muffled, muddy, and lots of bass. When I turned it up, everything evened out. Whats up with that?

    CD Booklet Printing and CD Pressing

    So, assuming I have a master copy of my final CD. How do I go about getting an album booklet printed up? I wanted to do probably three pages total, front and back. Where can I find the dimensions for these? I suppose I could just go measure what CD booklets are printed, but I guess I wanted...

    Amp Stands?

    I'm browsing around Guitar Center (online) looking at amp stands. Am I going to notice any differences between the $20 and the $50 stand? Would I be better off just building one? Thanks!

    Looking for drum monitoring options

    During practice, our drummer has a hard time hearing whats going on. However, he does have a nice set of Vic Firth headphones that I would like to run directly out from the mixer. However, for some reason, when I run out of the mixer, it is only coming out in mono (left channel). How can I at...

    New "metal" song? Ovarian Omelette :S

    It is still a mystery to me where the drums come from. They never want me to track the drums for them. They come with with a multitrack of them and I go from there. The past few times they came in, they sounded good...about a year ago they came in and had awful sounding drums. Sounded like...
