Thanks for the comments. I will go back and try to tighten it all up. The drums are loose. Studio Drummer let's you manipulate the quantizing so every thing is not so rigid. So yes the beat is slightly off but I didn't think it was at the point of being noticeable. It's not any further out than...

The Song is called "Rust". It's a song my old band did years ago that I wanted to redo. I can't sing so there are no vocals. I didn't want my attempt at singing getting in the way of feedback on the music. Pretty simple tune, just trying to capture the...
I'd say the vocal effect is intended. I like it. I don't think the drum sound fits the feel I get from the song. Id like to hear a more old school sound. I must say I like the song, to me its one of the best I've heard here. I like that its 3:30. That's the sweet spot for me.
Nice job.
Awesome thanks. Ive been wanting to make my own but I haven't had time with work, 2 young kids and a wife so I don't mid paying more for ones that are made already. I think this guy builds them and sells them because he renews this ad every month.I'll email him and see if he can make thicker...
If you have a good voice the rest is all experience. You have a great voice and at 17 your mix is pretty good. When I was 17 I was taking two boom boxes and recording a guitar track on one then playing it back and recording my second part on the other. It sounded like shit haha.
You're off to...
Ok, I have my Scarlett 6i6 set to 6ms right now as I have found its the happy balance. When I bring it down to 4 or 3 ms I have heard some pops. I will try disabling wifi and see if it helps.

I haven't done the math on what it would cost to make my own but considering the time and cost these seem like a pretty good deal.
The one question I have is would I have to double up the Roxul safe and sound for the corner bass...
Nicely done. You definitely have your style and sound down. Not much to really say other than I kept hearing some gang vocals in my head in certain parts, just like a "Hey" or something like that during the chorus kind of parts lol.
You have a lot of things working for you here. Your voice is great and the whole vocal track(s) is really well done. You certainly know how to mix LOUD lol. The guitars sound good for the song.
The things that need some work are the drums as you are already aware. Did you program them all from...
Nice Job over all. Im in agreement that the drums are a little too buried in the mix. I also think the hard panned acoustic guitars can be brought down some. Other than that the whole sound of the track fits the song well.
I use guitar rig 5 a lot as well as studio drummer. It's not direct dry signal. Latency is there of course as there always will be. I have disabled the Lan and Wifi before and it makes no difference.
I'm not really into knowing that info. My ears will tell me if latency is an issue and so far it hasn't been on a mediocre Acer laptop with a 5400rpm drive and 6GB ram.
Guess yeah it depends on what you do but you don't need a dedicated high end laptop with no connection to the internet to...
I have a Studio LP, a Focusrite 6i6 and guitar rig 5. I just did a recording and used the Clean 800 and the Heavy 800 presets. They sound pretty good for the type of song I did.
Its not hard to build your own rig. It's just drag and drop. I usually start with a compressor, may be a screamer...
When ever I want to play along to YouTube backing tracks I just use a website to convert to mp3. Just Google YouTube to mp3. Pop it into your daw and play along.
This thread reminded me I gotta buy some new headphones lol.
I'm in the same sorta boat as the op. I have 2 young kids, not a whole lot of free cash and have to do all my tracking after every one goes to bed.
I can say though that mixing is no problem with the volume level needed to get a...
I went to school to be a recording engineer and ended up being a live sound engineer for many years. Can't say I did 50,000 seat venues but fairly big shows in my area with EAW speaker arrays and I got pretty good at it. Home studio recording is a very different ballgame. I have just recently...
Nothing is ever 100% absolute but so many albums that are considered so full of feeling and sound live are recorded to clicks or even edited and pieced together. Fresh in my mind is Nevermind because I just watched a doc on it with Butch Vig talking about how he suggested the band play to a...
