Trying to explain frequencies and such to me is like a different language. But, my low and hi end tracks sound great in the mixes on all speakers and headphones. I never got that with just a single bass track. On these songs, I actually think I might have them too loud. I don't go nuts playing...

It's funny, I have no problem with hearing kick and bass on my smallest speakers or headphones. I also have a trick (I know I didn't invent it. But, I didn't know anything about it till I was looking up mixing videos on youtube) to get a great sounding bass. I just duplicate the bass track, one...

Peifer proves to be an appealing singer and exceptional songwriter. Of course he excels at writing catchy pop tunes with hooks. Read the full review - Faster and Louder: Christopher Peifer - Suicide Mission

I could be wrong (I am about so many things). The mixing part comes from, engineers have the speakers turned up enough that they can clearly hear all the parts for placement and volume. You put on headphones to check. Even in phones, there's a tendency to turn up the volume. But, I know I've...

I've been a music fanatic since I was a child. A great song is great regardless of how loud you're listening to it. Of course Zeppelin and Sabbath sound better cranked till your ears bleed. But, if you play it at a normal or even low level, the music doesn't lose its drive or thrill. That's...

If anyone wants to hear what this processor sounds like in practical use. Believe Mix Done is straight out of Pro Tools Believe Mix Done 6LM has the threshold at -6 You'll definitely hear it's louder, with very little (if you even notice) difference in the sound and mix. It's pretty cool...

That's why I added that video. It's not the greatest. But, it gives some explanation on that. I raised each song up in volume without killing the mix. I could even go a step or two further. I'm doing it trial and error. -9 on my songs is a tad too much. You can hear it pushing things that...

I AM an idiot, and I wrote a thread that folks were nice enough to comment on. I tried and failed miserably. Then I got an idea and it WORKED. I downloaded a free DAW AUDACITY for my windows 7 computer. I then downloaded for free LOUDMAX. This is not the greatest video. But, he does explain...

Chris was my bass player for years, and more important a friend. But, that doesn't mean I would help him hawk his CD. However, this is a CD if I heard and didn't know who it was, I'd still buy it. It's that good. If you like Elvis Costello, The Replacements and that style, you'll really...

40 minutes of unique, original music. THANKS to anyone who gave me advice. I hope it sounds like I accomplished it. If you like it, let me know. If you don't... well, you can't please everyone. But, one or two would be nice. SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds A more readable PDF is also...

I have no idea what it's called. So, I'll try to explain and hopefully someone will be able to understand and help. I have looked on youtube and can't find a video for what I want to do. This is ONLY an example: I have 3 guitars on the right side. Acoustic is panned 100 Rhythm is panned 50...

THANK YOU! That sounds simple. I will try it on the second low song. Tonight I went back to the first and just remixed the low parts to be louder and it sounds great. Not even an hour, and I even tweaked a few things. Now I have to listen on a bunch of speakers tomorrow and see if I did it right...

I have to figure out how to get the RMS to show. I didn't know you could change the look of the meters. THANK YOU!

I had to look up what RMS was. I'm an idiot when it comes to most things "musical". But, I recorded with an expert engineer back in the 90s on an analog 24 track (Elvis recorded on it in Nashville, before the console made it's way to Long Island), and while I never asked "why" he was doing...

I'm going to have to retry the second "normalize" again. I tried that, and it did nothing. I don't have Maxim. I have nothing.

If you've ever read any of my posts or listened to anyone of my mixes, I ain't normal. It's not a good or bad thing, it just is. Listening to the album I just mixed, 7 songs are right in line, 1 is a bit loud (easy fix), 2 have low parts that are just too low (which might be a harder fix)...

Music sounds good. I'd like to hear it with vocals.

endlessrain: My first rough mix, I faded up because I thought I'd open on just acoustic. But, then I added the guitar part, and lost that opening. I'm still trying to think of what I can do. But, I think that abrupt opening will probably be it, unless I start cutting and pasting, and then I'll...

I wish I could put drums together this way. I've wanted to since the 80s and it comes out like a horror. I won't give real mixing advice, since I'm always asking for it. For a demo this is fine. It's a very good song. It lacks full instrumentation and arranging (except the drums, they're...

The song is called Beautiful. I have one question: The break is strange. The ending of the solo is dissonant. There's good and bad dissonance. When I recorded this, I thought "this is it". It tops off the weirdness that is the break. But, I have a few friends that hate any dissonance in pop...
