Thought I'd put me next track up at the half mixed stage. After this point is were I always bugger the mix up so I'm hoping you chaps can give me some pointers on going forward with this one.

The song is Turn Your Key, the file is called mix 1 but's actually mix 5 or 6 - I've lost count. It's flat, harsh and muddy but beside that it's great :) Any words of wisdom to improve it? Thanks

Let's say I've routed kick and snare to their own busses within SD3. It only appears to route the mics and not the OH or room (unlike when you click on a kit piece in the opening window, where all aspects of the piece play) Is it possible to route all the items of say, the snare including room...

I need a bit more space and less clonkiness. I'm not great at reverb so there isn't much on it. Any advice?

Any idea how to get close to this snare sound? It could well be electronic or heavily processed, Thanks!

Anyone know where I can get a similar sound to this at the very start?

The mix isn't quite there yet - sounds a bit 2 dimensional so any suggestions are welcomed, cheers!

I got some useful feedback on the last track I posted here and hoping for some more on this one, Thanks.

It lacks some depth or it's maybe too toppy, any advice welcome, cheers.

I'm trying to do quite a simple thing in Superior Drummer 3 which is to alter the pitch fractionally on each snare hit for realism as I don't feel the hit variation does enough. I've tried putting it in write mode in Cubase but it doesn't record the changes. Is there a way of doing this please...

I've got to the point in this mix where if I do anything it sounds worse:) but it's not right yet. It sounds a bit over bright and a bit muddy in places with no depth. I've compressed and equed and put reverb on the tracks I think need it and there is a vocal but I haven't worked on that yet...

Anyone confirm this time signature? Cubase detection says it is 1/4... Timesig by Mike Spot | Free Listening on SoundCloud

Hi Chaps, How do I get this compression on the voice please? Any settings to try, I seem to have tried everything I can think of. Cheers. Sr by Mike Spot | Free Listening on SoundCloud

Hi chaps, So I have 2 AC guitars doing slightly different things panned hard left and right. Is there a way to stop the constant imbalance between the 2? I've tried compression and eq etc but it's not giving me that smooth constancy. Have a listen to this clip which is untreated. Cheers, mike...

Hi Folks, Have a listen to this bass guitar, the second 2 notes of each pattern is just getting lost in the mix. I've tried compression and a dynamic eq but cant get the consistency I need. Any advice please? Thanks Bassbit by Mike Spot | Free Listening on SoundCloud

I have a heavily strummed guitar which I like but I want to even the volume without attacking the peaks too much and I want to preserve the natural sound. With compression I have tried a fast attack and medium release, threshold just barely touching it but it's not doing the job. I've also...

I'm expecting the acoustic panels to arrive shortly, 2 x Bass traps 1240x640x100mm and 4 x 1240x640x50mm. Can anybody suggest best placement please, see floorplan. The double doors on the left is a closet. Thanks, Mike

Hi Chaps, The room I've just installed my gear in is quite boomy but it's rented so I cant make any structural changes or even hammer nails into walls. What can I do to tame the room given these restrictions? I'm going to get some hefty curtains for the windows, other than that I'm stumped. Thanks

I'm trying to do something quite simple, play my mix while referencing a track through my computer media player. Easy right? Not since I got the UR44 it isnt. I have Cubase set up with control room, Mix L1 and R1 go to my monitors, Mix L2 and R2 to the headphones, the headphones come out of...

I've set up an external compressor in Cubase for mixing but I'm getting a terrible time lag, despite pressing the delay compensation button. VID_20180208_200324306.mp4 - Google Drive The soundcard is a Behringer UMC 404HD and is setup as below. Any help appreciated, Mike umcextfx.JPG -...
