While I’m not strictly a newbie here I’ve always found people very helpful here, so if this is the wrong forum I do apologise. I could do with some advice. I’ve always been really into mixing and recording as a hobby. I seem to get some decent results with not very expensive gear in the little...

Hey guys. Been working on this mix a bit more. Finding some parts of the vocals difficult to get right but I think I'm more less happy with it. Any thoughts? Thanks. https://soundcloud.com/demosandideas/shallow-graves

Sometimes there will be a vocal part I've recorded, with no compression, and it's not particularly loud. But when I play the whole track one word will literally bring down the guitar parts until that word is over. If I then sweep with a narrow band I can find the same frequency, and cut, and...

Posted a non vocal version a while ago and finally got my friend to come round and lay the vocals down. I know some don't like the washing of cymbals, but I think it suits this intro in this song so that's staying, anything else is fair game. :) Any thoughts? Latest version...

I'm 31, and I work in healthcare in a skilled area with a lot of responsibility. I like my job but it's not my passion. I am seriously thinking about doing a 3 year university course in Music Production, I've filled the application out but not sent it yet. The course looks great and it's...

Hey all. Could I get some feedback on this track please? Thanks. :) https://soundcloud.com/demosandideas/shallow-graves

New song, not sure about the mix, some pointers would be great! Me singing again, you have been warned! :D I need to add a solo towards the end. NEWIST MIX https://soundcloud.com/demosandideas/better-off-dead Thanks.

Hey all. I've got a new track. I'm singing on it, I've never sung in another other than my car before so be warned! New Mix: https://soundcloud.com/demosandideas/give-me-my-remedy-2 All thoughts and opinions are welcome! Thanks, Phil.

Hey all. I don't know if you remember but I had a thread about this song before, and I've been working on it again. I feel like I'm getting the hang of compression and EQing a bit more, and I had a bit of a go at (very poorly) mastering it in Logic. Hopefully not too bad, but obviously I'm open...

I've been reading a lot and learning to mix for the last 6 months, and people here who have heard my stuff are telling me that it's sounding okay. I am learning stuff all the time and I also know that I know very little about the art of mixing. I am mixing low with an aim to send my completed...

Sorry guys, I know it's another compression thread, but this is confusing me and I'm just trying to understand it. Say the threshold is -20 and the ratio 2:1 and the signal hits -10. It should end up being -15, right? If the ratio was 4:1 would the signal be -17.5? If the ratio was 5:1 the...

It seems I have an opportunity to buy one of these for £20! They're about £100 new. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may99/articles/behcomposer.htm The thing is, I'm new to all of this. I am learning a lot and I wonder if having a compressor to put the vocals through before it hits my DAW for...

Hey! No vocals as yet, but I've been working on this for a little while. EQed and compressed in places. I compressed and limited the Master channel as I felt fairly happy with the mix. What do you guys think? How's the tone, the EQing, drums etc? This is the newest version -...

Hello! I've had an intro for a song, and the main part for a long time and I've decided to record it. When tracking it I've realised that the intro however sounds too slow at the main songs tempo, and the main song too fast at the intros tempo. The intro is 140bpm, the main part is 120bpm. So...

EQing - I've had some time to read up a bit more and I'm learning little by little, but mainly, by playing around with it I've got the best results. So say with a guitar track that I have, I start with the low frequency on a parametric EQ and cut the lows until I hear a difference to the tone...

Hey all. Me and my friend recorded a song together. This is only the second song I've recorded and the first I haven't finished yet, but I feel I'm having more success with this one. I'm still getting to grips with compression and EQing and I mainly used EQ on the Bass, snare and kick drum, so...

Yes of course. Right now I'm mostly concerned with understanding the graph, and I think I do, so that's a big step forward. One last question, do people normally EQ every part of a drum kit, or is it mainly snare and kick? Thanks BroKen for that thread, it looks very useful! My friend just...

Hey all! I'm just starting to learn more about EQing and I have some questions. Here is a template EQ that I pulled up in Logic just to use as an example to see if my understanding was correct. I understand what EQing is, and why we do it, but just reading the graph and knowing how and what to...

I've got a 2.5GHz i7 which overclocks to 3.7GHz with turbo boost. I've not had any issues recording with my Kemper via SPDIF at that 32 samples. The Kemper runs at 44.1kHz and prefers to be Master. I do change the buffer size when I use my MIDI Keyboard as it causes latency issues. Here's a...

What I've been doing is automating, so it looks like this. Is this what you mean by the envelopes? Also, I've been getting pops and clicks when recording vocals on Logic. My buffer size is set to 32. Could this be the reason? What should it be if so? Thanks again, you guys are great. :)
