    200 $ headphones or active monitors question

    I recently got the Grado SR225e, and really like them for mixing. I had the same scenario, where I could either treat my studio (really my home office) and buy monitors, or go the headphone route. So far I am really happy with the SR225e and they are right around $200. OK build quality and...

    Any Flavor You Like....Take 2.

    Hi there! Very cool song, great playing - did you play all instruments and sing? Only mixing note is the crash panned L is a bit loud for my ears. Have to vote "yay" on the low-fi and reverse perc, I dig it! What amp with the epiSG? - Paul

    Final Mix Questions

    Hi there! Just listened to "name is something" - cool song and some great guitar playing in there, good grooves and nice feel with the subtle vocal delivery. I like the subdued enunciation - gives it a feel that matches the lyrics. A couple of notes: - acoustic on left side sounds a bit loud. -...

    The Bin Song

    I really like this song, its mood, and how the vocal fits it nicely. Only comments are on the drum mix - the toms sound too loud to me, much more presence than the snare. I would pull the toms and cymbals down, and pull the tom more towards center? Just a suggestion. Besides that the mix sounds...

    My Freaky Lawyer

    Hi! Cool song, great guitar sound and playing. I like your vocal delivery but tend to agree with others it's just at the tipping point of going into falsetto/out of tune. Background vox in chorus are sung well - but I think they are crowding the lead vocal. I would try cutting lows and boosting...

    Original Song - Fade to Gray

    Wow, thanks for the replies! Great to get some opinions on the mix. The song is tracked in many pieces, so there is a lot of mixing to do for dynamics of each section, making things tricky. @Bruthish: Yes, the "room" sound is my son Miles, mixed in with the "see everything like it's new" lyric...

    Original Song - Fade to Gray

    Hi All! I joined the community earlier this year after finishing phase 1 of my home studio (interface/DAW). Hoping to get some opinions on this track, which is the first song I tracked and mixed at home (excluding drums). Had to save at 160kbps to get < 10MB. All feedback welcome! Thanks, Paul

    New Soundcard/DAW

    Hi there. Going back 15 years I have used Cool Edit Pro, Audacity, Pro Tools 6 - 10, and most lately Reaper. Have to echo the sentiments above and urge you to try Reaper. With the $$ saved you can even invest in a couple high-end plugins like nice reverb or compressor. Check out Kenny Gioia's...
