any takers?

Hey guys. I'm mixing this on some audio technica ath m50's. I don't have any monitors, or a sub right now, so I can't really tell how my low end sits in the mix. The rest of the mix, i'm not so concerned about. https://soundcloud.com/emcee-emphasis/butterflies-luv-song

@heatmiser Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely make sure to add a little bit of reverb to the vox. Admittedly, I'm still getting used to adding room ambience with verb. I'm very glad you noticed the guitar. I've become so desensitized from listening to this track so much, that the flaws...

TipleM, First of all, I wanna say thank you for taking the time to listen to and analyze my track! :thumbs up: I can definitely see what you mean about the bass needing to be a little more involved! Part of the compositional issue is that it's all midi: I blended 3 different bass interments...

Hey guys, so here's my work in progress. https://soundcloud.com/emcee-emphasis/dead-president-hip-hop-reggae Some of my areas of concern: Track feels a little Bass Heavy I got the bass to cut through the mix. I feel like it sits nicely: It sounds good in my monitoring headphones, hi fi...

Oh man, I haven't logged in for over a week. I wasn't expecting this many responses. I knew it was a dumb idea from the beginning. more of a "what if" for shits and giggles Some of the responses I got were hallarious. I wish I was witty and swift enough to respond to them all lol

Hey guys, so here's a random stupid thought: Has anybody here recorded vocals in a car before? and if so, what were your results? Also, what kind of car was it?. The reason that I ask is because i own a bmw e30. I've been trying to record some verses on a new rap song i'm working on, but just...

Hey guys, so I managed to get my hands on one of the original Mackie MCU controllers! (The black model from the early 2000's, not one of the newer white "pro" models.) Two of the conflicts that I'm facing are as follows: Logic Pro 9 Compatibility I plan on setting it up with Logic Pro 9, and...

You could also use a direct box, to record the clean, and delayed signal at the same time.

As a rule of thumb, I would say it's best to record your sound as clean as possible, and then add effects or ambience later. However, if the delay pedal is going to directly effect your performance durin the recording process, then I would say BUY IT!!! for example: if you need to actually...

Hey guys,so as the title suggest, I'm planning on taking on my first acousitc recording and need a few pointers or mic'ing technique, and room selection. THE SCRATCH TRACK Will Be recorded using -DI/ TS on my acoustic-electric -1 Mic somewhere between the guitar's soundhole, and vocalist's...

It sounds to me like adding an expander on the vocal track, and side chaining it to the instrumental, would work something like this: -the expander would make the lead vocals louder during the loud parts of the instrumental, and a little bit quieter during the quiet parts of the instrumental...

Just an open ended question for OP, or anybody else who can answer it: Why do (or did you at the time of post) want to side chain the vocal rider? I've heard a lot of people complaining about the lack of side chaining capabilities from waves vocal rider, but simply fail to see the practical...

"Fat PEOPLE!! OMFG that made me laugh so hard when i read it! :laughings: I had to log in just to post my comment on it lol

Bump. Need a bit more feedback before messing the mix up completely

Good Call! I've been so vexed by the random bi-polar spikes, that I hadn't even thought of going to my activity monitor to verify the cpu usage. I was thinking of just doing a hardware test, but that's kinda time consuming.. Your way may be faster. Thanks for the swift reply!

Hey guys, so I’m not completely sure if upgrading my hard drive had anything to do with my CPU indicator acting like it has a multiple personality disorder. (Not even sure how, or this is even possible) but basically here's what happened: I recently purchased a 240gb "Sandisk Extreme" ssd to...

Thanks for the advise. I'ma see if or where i can do some midrange cuts. I think the biggest factor is the guitar fighting for space with the vox My problem is I still feel like my vox sit on top of the instrumental, rather than on or in the mix...

Thanks :) I'm also kind of a delay junkie! i went hella crazy, and added delays on most the tracks/instruments. Some are subtle, but they're there. I particularly like blending 16th or 16th note triplet delays to give the illusion of room ambience/ echo. When it comes down to the vocals...

Yes! I was thinking the exact same thing when I arranged the scratching parts. Unfortunately, i couldn't get the guitar chords and scratches to sit well together in the mix. It just got really hard to pay attention to one or the other. Looks like it's back to the drawing board :guitar: :)
