    first tune in awhile (metal)

    ... thanks for listening y'all, and the tips. yeah, now that the drums got closer (minus the snare, rats!), the bass got off, and I tend to usually pump up the bass guitar! it's like I can't fix one thing with another going wacky or getting buried - what a complex puzzle mixing is! I'll see...

    first tune in awhile (metal)

    you're right about the vocals, they are super middly for some reason - thanks!

    first tune in awhile (metal)

    thanks for the tips! odd part is, the snare and kick are really cranked on the latest version, at least as far as db output compared to all other instruments going on. you sure you listened to the most recent version I just posted today?

    Free VST's Anyone ?

    .... I use the FreeAmp2 a lot for spicing up direct-recorded guitar leads. On a recent track, I recorded a lead with a Behringer SansAmp clone and then ran it through the freeamp (on a clean "combo" setting) and it sounded pretty cool - like a mic'ed recording pretty much. It sounded better...

    first tune in awhile (metal)

    .. thanks for checkin' it out and the great tips. love the surgical EQ ranges given for me to hone right in on. nice ears! much appreciated. for what it's worth - the main guitars were done through a small (around 20 watt) tube PA "head" with an Ibanez tube king in front of it - into a...

    first tune in awhile (metal)

    ... latest version, probably still needs some work, but I couldn't resist goofing with it before taking off for t-giving.... http://www.upload.celtiaproductions.co.uk/uploads/pshn%20master%20V2.mp3

    first tune in awhile (metal)

    ... very awesome comments! I think the hiss is coming from various things - popping in to do a direct solo, poor-quality samples from youtube during certain parts, etc. not sure if I can fix those, but perhaps some automation would at least limit them to only occur right when those parts are...

    first tune in awhile (metal)

    finally got a chance recently to do a new tune (pentecostal snake-handling nightmare). all comments welcome! let me know if something sounds really outta-whack. I guess there's an overall lower-fi sound to it, which is either a mixing/EQ-ing issue or perhaps a result of using super cheap...

    Possible to adjust all volume sliders at once?

    ... I think I just answered my own question looking at the wiki help. Apparently just hold control and select all tracks, then use up/down arrows to adjust? The tracks seem to not all move at once, but looking at the numbers it appears they do in fact get adjusted the same amount, but the...

    Possible to adjust all volume sliders at once?

    I'd like to grab all the volume sliders of my tracks and bring them all down by the same amount such that I can eliminate a track going in the red (and then have some more room to play with if it's cranked to the max), but then use the master to bring the whole thing back up to just under the...

    ... I just use whatever defaults are in there....is there a particular item I should be looking for in the options--->preferences area?

    ... my settings are the default I guess: sample rate 44100 resample 192 pt Sinc WAV bit = 24

    rendering versus other options?

    is it me, or does rendering a premaster mixdown (in reaper) sound worse than when the song is playing before rendering? shouldn't it sound pretty much the same? it seems like that's where I lose a lot of my sound quality. Does anyone record their mix to another computer (or other device) and...

    how do I get that "sheen, glossy, polished, commercial release" cd sound?

    ... after doing this for many years on analog and digital equipment, I have found the answer to be (drum roll please).... drums still going.... pressure building... wait for it... Doing the best you can with whatever gear you have, then say "bye bye" to your mix and have a pro mastering...

    How screwed am I????

    ... I probably did that before, and, ah, didn't even realize it.

    antress modern plugins

    ... I thought at first they were the bee's knees because they LOOK so cool, but then I tested them out in comparison to the vanilla compressor, which has no pretty vintage gear skin to it, and they just didn't stack up. I think I liked one of the compressors, but they didn't behave quite as...
