    Multiple Vocal Tracks

    I tweaked around with the file - tell me what you think - good or bad.

    Empty Fix - The Tide: Alternative metal mixing challenge

    I don’t know what happened - the drums and vocals got all messed up - anyways here is the fixed one - little different on the drums.

    Empty Fix - The Tide: Alternative metal mixing challenge

    So here is one that I remixed again…this is a fun song to fool around with - I’ve noticed that the OPs @Emiel version has a different set of drums on it - or he cleaned them up considerably. Enjoy!

    This is good IMO - whats the doubling effect on the vocal? And the background vocal I would brighten a bit - match the lead vocal tone.

    Empty Fix - The Tide: Alternative metal mixing challenge

    Well I did a ton to everything - not that it needed it - but I wanted to - the best change was isolating the drums - I use Logic and its tools to get it done - only problematic ones were the highhat and bass drum 3 - all of the drums I replaced except for the overheads - but Iincluded some of...

    Straight Wave files are cleaner than CD files - for one thing they are 44.1/16 bit - I burn my wave files at 96K/24 bit - I hear a difference - I can push the volume a little more and hear reverb tail and stuff a lot better. You can also compress MP3s more than you can Wave files - but if you...

    Empty Fix - The Tide: Alternative metal mixing challenge

    Yeah that’s pretty neat - I do a version of the silencer plugin - just with 3 plugins instead of the one. I changed the guitars tone - but it seem like you didn’t do much - did you?

    Deeper as it goes (general thoughts)

    It definitely suits the piece better - I think it’s a little too much in the beginning part - not quite as etherial as I would like - but I don’t know - I listen to it a couple of times and it kind of grows on me - one thing is the echo’d parts are to loud to me.

    I have to try the Steven Slate stuff - the snare you used was great - it had impact and a quality to the tone that really worked.

    Can I stand on a piece of metal to ground myself instead of buying a hum eliminator?

    Were you playing a Humbucker equipped guitar? I know my single coils that aren’t silent types are susceptible to hum sometimes - but not in my studio - which is Opto Isolated and Balanced power - also do you know how you might go about shielding Romex Cables? I would think that would be a...

    What did you use for drum samples? EZ Drummer? Superior? I use EZ Drummer and others depending on what the song is.

    Be careful with resource-heavy plugins while tracking

    Or you could Freeze the tracks if your computer couldn’t handle it.

    Empty Fix - The Tide: Alternative metal mixing challenge

    How did you get the snare up? Did you drop in samples?

    Lesson in Life

    Lowering the volume by using db instead of Automation is a bit more accurate than using the Auto function.

    Lesson in Life

    You can accomplish this by automating the mix - I noticed what you are talking about - the vocal goes underneath - BTW the tone and timbre of the vocals have a McCartney like Quality to them to me.

    This Old House

    Dry Vocals were/are a thing - but its interesting because they aren’t really dry - but again not drenched in reverb.

    Budget Stereo Compressor recommendation ?

    It was/is standard practice for CD’s - MP3s and Wave files allow for a bit more leeway - but that said I have a lot of software plugins that are for finalizing my Tracks - specifically Dynamic EQ and Mutiband Compression - Sometimes I use a Spatial plug in depnding the image I want - and then I...

    All you need is a 57 (UTube)

    I don’t know what to say - he doesn’t really define mics by their use - just his source.

    I am citing the used market - there are a lot of them out there.
