I can't remember the name of the violin make, I'll have to ask the violinist. I know it was italian. As for the microphone, we used a Neumann TLM103.

It's a million dollar, 250 year old violin which has never been changed from when it left the makers hands. I'm really not kidding. When you have instruments like the one used in this recording, it's easy to mix. One mic was placed as close as possible to the bow.

This song is called "Days." I wrote it for my wife and baby who hasn't been born yet. In about 2 weeks he is due. Let me know what you think. http://www.wilsonforum.com/Days.mp3

Thanks for the feedback. What do you think could be better about the songwriting? Do you just not like this style or does something bother you about the song? Lyrics? Melodies? etc..?

I posted this song a LONG time ago, and I have since added many parts and changed the mix. Please give it a listen and give it to me straight. http://www.eng.utah.edu/~awilson/glikk/audio/AllYourFriends.mp3

As far as the overall volume is concerned, I still feel like mine is quieter than most CDs... ???

Is there a certain instrument that is sticking out, or is the overall mix just loud?

Thanks for the great suggestions. Last night I played around with adding copies of the master track to delays on R and L. I am worried that this will make the overall pan biased to one side. I need to try the idea of just inverting the phase however.

When I compare my mixes with professional mixes, I notice that mine sound very two demensional. Flat. I have panned things in my mix, but I don't know how to get that "surround" feeling. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate specific suggestions on how to master to get a more 3D sound...

I updated the mix and posted it at the same address. New mix should sound way better: http://www.eng.utah.edu/~awilson/Assim.mp3

Very Blind-Melonish during the verse. I like the mix on the Toms. I appreciate the fact that it's a rock song that isn't trying to be "pop-punk." Only suggestion I have is the guitar solo needs some work in my opinion. I can really hear that typical 1st position minor pentatonic lick when it...

Hey Cyan, What is a wildcard again???

The guitars and overall mix sound really muddy to me... I think they would probably sound better by cutting all the lows below about 150 - 200. Try boosting just a tad from about 1-5 KHz on the guitars and maybe the same thing on the master EQ.

Oh yeah, the snare was showing up in almost ALL of the drum tracks due to mic bleed. To resolve this, we went through every track and cut the snare out where possible. This made the kick sound a little choppy at times, so we did it pretty carefully. It really cleaned everything up though, and...

About the recording techniques... We used a pretty nice Neumann mic for the guitars and vocals. For the guitars, we place the neumann up close to my Martin Acoustic guitar, and also placed another mic about 3 feet away. The room was absolutely dead, lots of foam. We figured we could always...

What instruments are you interested in?

I've posted this song as we've made progress in the tracking. We just added a piano part to it. I would love to hear anyone's opinion about this song. Do you like the piano? What is good/bad about this song/arrangement? The mixdown is just a hack... you will probably hear a little...

Sounds like Steve Miller Band.... I think the Guitar solo should come up... if you're going to have a guitar solo like that, I think it should really come out loud and clear.
