gotta be the gate on the guitar rig. the guitar track was cut with an eleven rack and it has an onboard gate, not a good one, but it does cut out the amp hum/noise. i'm hoping that reverb will mask some of those issues.

both the kick drum and bass guitar may be a little loud....i haven't gotten used to this subwoofer yet, so i'm not sure.

my first remix; more of an attempt to get the eq right on each instrument so everything has it's own space. check it out and let me know what you think: https://soundcloud.com/singtall/king-of-majesty-eq1 maybe too much bass? now that i have more separation i can hear a bunch of flaws and...

lol. thanks again guys. for what it's worth, it took a sec, but i understood what he was talking about when he said"Duh duh daaaa dadada daaaa". i felt like the drum timing was making everything sound off, maybe it's everybody not staying on with the click track. i will look into it a...

i had some weird issues using my used presonus mixer. the issues started out as some weird noises when i used mouse scroll or moved the mouse. i ground lifted my mixer as a final last resort to kill most of the noise. next problem was that after i booted my pc i normally had to reboot the...

the fill at 2:00 is the drummer trying to do something more than he is normally capable of just because it's a recording that he feels should showcase him at his best. i've heard that roll before and i always thought it sounded odd too, even when someone else does it. the break around 3:00 is...

i'm not really sure what "wonky scratches" are, but i would be happy to listen for it if you can point out a time when you hear it. thanks.

i need some input on these basic tracks. i had some studio newbies in to lay tracks and they fought the metronome for sure. i took the tracks and simply ran a reverb and leveler on the master output of my daw, and a little delay on the lead. this is far from being a "mix", it's just...

i wasn't asking about guitar panning only, sorry if i came off that way. i was really interested in panning every instrument, the guitar panning was just an example of what i was talking about. years ago i read books about both mixing and mastering and although they were helpful, i feel...

thanks guys. i have always just listened to my favorite albums and kinda copied their panning to the best of my ability. depending on what i'm mixing, i listen to similar music that was mixed well and use it for a reference. no matter how much i try to copy another engineer's mix, i always...

is there a chart or list of panning width for instruments in a mix somewhere? i've looked for some type of "rule" and never found anything. i pan to make my mix sound like everyone else's mix, but i would think that most pros follow some type of general panning plan. for example: i always...

i'm still a newb here, so pardon the wrong section post. the doubling isn't too tight, it's two guitar players using the same exact rig....probably a bad idea. as long as it's not terrible, it could work. the drums were recorded with cheapo audio technica mics, and the cymbals are cheap...

nothing? i'll take that as a positive thing. if it sounded hideous someone would have chimed in by now.

before i get too deep into committing to one guitar tone, i thought i would post a little clip of the raw tracks i recorded so you guys could tell me what you think of my guitar tone. i'm using an eleven rack for all guitars. https://soundcloud.com/singtall/you-are-good-raw-tracks-1 the bass...

a friend sent me this info on open cell foam, it's a head scratcher for sure. the frequencies i'm missing are the ones least absorbed. weird. Icynene Spray Open Cell Foam Insulation percentage of sound absorption: PRODUCT THICKNESS DENSITY 125HZ 250HZ 500HZ 1000HZ 2000HZ 4000HZ NRC Icynene...

i've spent more time talking about it than actually shooting the room. i spent all of maybe 2 minutes on the eq thing, it was that close to flat. i've always dealt with the reference monitors as-is and never thought of eqing them. like i said, it was one guy talking to me making me feel...

i used a behringer reference mic, and also tried a DBX reference mic....same results. the mic was at head level between the speakers, and i checked them one at a time. maybe 3 feet from the speakers? i was thinking that the sound should be more consistent at that distance. i did some...

according to my spectrum analyzer; WITHOUT the subwoofer, i still have a low mid dip of about 5db, so the "problem" lies with the speaker itself. the sub adds more of the same bass as the speaker already has....so not really flat once it's kicked in. i setup the system with the eq by...

thanks for the reply. i was a live sound guy long before a studio guy, so i'm used to mixing with big bottom end. it's hard to stop it. lol. i tried doing a little work with the eq off and i think it went well, then i added the eq for a few seconds only to make sure the low mids weren't...

i've been guilty of all those sins in the past. i'm still trying to find a set of speakers that work with my ears. i tried: early Yamaha ns10m's - i mixed with WAY too much bottom end. Behringer truth - I mixed too warm with very little highs. Mackie first gen with 8's - better overall...
