I'm not sure if that is cross program applicable or not. I've got it worked out at this point but I'm going to give what you're talking about a try too. Thanks!!
Cool song! Karma may be a bitch but recording live drums are too. The drums sound boxy. Like they are removed from the band and not blending. That said other than the cymbals they're too far back in the mix for my tastes. Great guitar and vocal sound.
Haha...no not at all but it seems like something that could be used in the same way as "stuck in the middle with you" was used in reservoir dogs or "Singing in the Rain" in Clockwork Orange. Don't get me wrong...it's cool.
I know I can do this but my question is if there's volume automation in a track does it move as well? This when highlighting all tracks vs adding all tracks to a single group.
thanks!
Thanks for the responses everyone.
Massive Mastering...is this John? I think I'd like to send you something and see how it comes out. How do we do this? Should I contact you via your site? Do you make recommendation on the mix prior to mastering? I'm hoping so. It is here...
Thanks Tim...I'm going to roll off the high end on all of the vocal tracks...pretty sure where that's where the problem is coming from. Really glad you like the song!
---------- Update ----------
Thanks for the confirmation mjb!
Hey Guys...I think its a big improvement but high end sibilance seems to build up towards the end which I'm wonder if could just be taken out in mastering. So Vocals are louder and I found the high end roll off...I'm new to logic. Garageband upgrade. Kicks its ass...only 200 bucks...
Hey Tim...thanks. The voice in the verse could go louder or in general? I worry about putting too much in and taking some of the edge off the instruments. My intension is big and dark. It's funny though, when I take everything out but the voice at the end of song, it's like this really lovely...
The link is missing now or not working for some reason. Yeah...for sure the drums need to be louder in my opinion. Drums aren't like other instruments in that they aren't making a sound the entire time during a song. A snare hits and then it's gone for instance. It means that you can put drums...
Do you think they're all too bright or just the main voice in the soft part of the chorus. Those are EQed brighter. Your ears have two years on mine. I've had tinnitis since I was about 18. Alt rock in the early 80s with no ear plugs.
Yeah....That's actually nice to here. I not sure what's reasonable. Sometimes I hear some really think guitar that I have no idea how it's achieved but I'm thinking it might just be a lot of tracks really accurately put down or very properly quantized....like this...
My ears or too god damned old I think...part of the reason I over brighten. I think I might need to EQ my monitors to be more bright so I'm pulling back the highs a bit more.
Ok...I'll start with an apology...which is generally always the best way to start a conversation. I'm imagining this question gets asked repeatedly here but I can find it! Scouts honor.
I want to try out some online master services. I have no idea where to start. Who has the best combination...
Yeah....I totally struggle with that...I want the vocal bright and clear but then there's this high end harshness. I want to achieve bright and warm but maybe those are opposites. Do you know of an appropriate type of filter to handle the high ends specifically.
Anyway....really glad to here...
Yeah...I like a certain amount of side to side modulation but I don't like it when it goes too far. Feels like a worm moving around between your ears. I'm also trying to get a handle on not putting everything right down the center so the first backups in are hard left and center and the next to...
I think the song has good potential but it's getting lost in reverb and effects....like its been sanded down. I do realize that you're going for an etherial sort of feel but I think you need different approaches to that with different instruments. I'd probably also find a more drum machiny...
