While it's true that any and all ways can work, I think you work from the center out. Meaning, "Smoke on the Water" started with a riff, "Yesterday" began with a melody, "Born this Way" began with a bacon suit, lots of songs begin with beats these days. You get the idea. For me a few songs came...

As a big prog fan, I'm a sucker for anything in 7...this is a great song by a great band and first of all thanks for letting me listen to this. The vocals to me are a little buried in the verse, more noticable in the chorus when the distorted rhythm guitars kick in but then perfect in the...

Very nice mellow pop song. Well done. Mix-wise, my first impression is that the rhythm guitar is taking alot of space that probably could go a little more to the bass and definitely to the vocals. Some mid range cuts in EQ would be the first thing I'd try. Of course they would make the solo'd...

The performance of the harmonies is pretty darn nice. But where they sit in the mix is distracting right now. You doubled the lead but the balance made it seem at about 10 in stereo field with the baritony voice about 2. The secondary lines also are equal or even a little higher in the mix...

The EQ changes you made modernized the guitars alot. They sound great. Again, though, in metal, your tone is taste, and you have to decide what you're going for. The bass sounds better to me too. Hopefully you can tell now what we meant by space when you put in the vocals. In the old 3D...

Overall this is really impressive. My first thought is "bravo!" But you've come for suggestions so here's my 2 cents. The snare (the whole kit) is reverbed to sound more retro while everything else is right up front and modern. If this is what you have available, then you work with what you...

Cool. it worked. Check back in a few hours and then to the studio and fix my mess.

So my acoustic duo is working on an EP and I want to do the recording and mixing myself. Been doing this awhile, but I'm strictly an amateur. So looking for feedback on how to make my recordings as professional as I can. Thanks for those spending the time. Pawn Shop Heart

Alright off to mp3 and see if I can get that to work.

Is my guitar bigger than a breadbox??? It's an auditorium so however that compares. There's 10 woo hoo.

My experience is that a good pair of headphones will work better than home stereo speakers, which intentionally push bass tones. You don't want that because when you move your mix into different environments it will sound great in one and terrible in another. A big part of a good mix is that...

That helps, the error message still says 5. I'm from St. Louis. Guitar player for 20+ years. My metal playing days are long past but I still listen to heavy stuff, and always pay attention to interesting players. My own music is Americana, songwriter type stuff. I'm in a duo, 2 acoustics 2...

So I wanted to post an mp3 to get some feedback, I've gotten > 5 posts but the board still says I can't post a URL...is there a time between creating an account and being able to put up an mp3?

On my system the drum loops are really low in level, with basically the only thing coming through is the snare and the attack of the kick. I don't know if you did that on purpose. I think the guitar tone is actually pretty good and any tweaks you make from here are for taste. It is a little on...

Have you ever recorded? If not, you buy a simple interface (something that lets you put at least two microphones recording simultaneously into your computer) Your put a mic inside the kick drum, one overhead the drum kit, and you play live until you get a good drum take. Then you have the bass...

What do you mean by "empty sound?" Most people actually want a room with no reflections so they can add in later. The simplest answer is close micing and then doing things onboard. Overheads, distance mics record the room. But when the modern sound is so compressed, why does it matter?

Biggest thing of all...listen to your actual recordings, what is it that isn't there that you hear on pro recordings? Or what is it that makes you wish you could improve? Target that. And are you a musician or a prospective engineer? If you're only working on your own stuff, equipment is rarely...

Great to be here. There's plenty of art and craft in recording. Hopefully most of the art is upstream but I remember my favorite local blues band finally put out a CD and it stunk. Clearly to click track, pieced together. If any band should have been done live in the studio with 10 mics or less...

I'm a newcomer to this forum though I've been home recording for awhile. Small occasionally gigging acoustic guitar / voice guy usually playing in a duo / small group setting. I started with a 4-track 10-15 years ago, made a few albums of just me learning the ropes with just a mic and Cakewalk...
