First off, I am deeply, DEEPLY sorry if this is considered spam. I don't think it is but my bad if it is, dudes. I've been on here for five years or so now and I've never posted in here :( So anyway, I don't know what to say; I started writing songs about a year ago after my last band went...

I need some advice broskies. I posted this track without vocals mixed veerrry differently, but now I'm getting closer to finishing (they want this done this week) and I need some advice. Please, tell me how this sounds. I know someone will hate the kick or the snare or the guitar tone, I...

These guys have been working with me for a bit under two years now and they've gone from being a progressive metal band to whatever you'd call this: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=18527 We're going to do vocals today and they'll probably want a mix right quick, so I'm looking for...

This is a band I'm recording. They're doing this song and I think it's coming out the best of all the songs we did during these sessions. I'd like feedback! If you need any information, just ask. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=18296

Which is more important? Which would be a bigger improvement; learning how to work in a bedroom to your fullest or using a better space without the skill? Zombie with a 57 in a nice room or Bruce Swedien with a 57 in a bathroom? Which would sound better?

How does this sound? It's not in context of course, but I'm experimenting. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/21989-oelguitartest.mp3 The only processing I've done is limiting and volume maximization. No compression or post EQ or anything. The amp is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe sitting on a...

How's the mix? And structurally, I'm not entirely happy with the ending, but it's all I could come up with for now. If you have any ideas, feel free to share. Here is my space!

What kind of snare do you figure is being played here? I assume it's a little piccolo but insight is cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeemBPqaKYo

My band's drummer is weird. He's got good hands and he hits hard, but he never rimshots unless it's during a roll. His snare sounds choked and lifeless, no matter what, and I'm sure it's a combination of him tightening the stand too much and not rimshotting. He says that if he does rimshots...

My band's going into the studio vs. my garage to track drums, and we'll go back when we can afford to to track guitars/bass and then vocals another day. The place we're recording at is very nice, lots of great gear, built from the ground up for recording, no modifications, and it's gonna be...

My overall, generalized question is "How do you work within a band when other people have opinions on the direction of a song/arrangement and tone of instruments/etc?" The other guitarist in my band hardly writes anything, lyrically or musically, but constantly forces his opinion on things and...

I'm pretty sure the drums are too 'verby in comparison to the main vocal, so I'll figure out which way to go with that when I've gotten some sleep. The kick might have too much high end too...This is my bassist's other band, they're pretty good, their drummer especially. Pleeease, opinions and...

this is a song my band just wrote...There's only a scratch guitar, but I'd like some opinions on how the drums sound. They weren't performed especially well, our drummer has terrible nerves and he hates recording unless we're playing with him, but this is what we've got...

http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=12732 I've been trying Glyns John/recorderman type OH setups recently, using the drummer as a baffle and keeping the mics close in and equidistant from kick and snare center. I usually do wide spaced pairs. I'm liking it. I'm also micing the toms...

I'm a poor drummer, lol. But I thought this was sounding really good so I'd like some opinions. I think the snare's too loud and will become especially problematic when I write and record vocal parts. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=12204

This is the route my band wants to take when we record our album (We need to write two-three more songs and work out transitions and inbetween noodly bits so this is a ways off) because it'll definitely preserve the feeling we lose when we track separately. We'd like to use my equipment, plus...

Alright. I'm fucked up on Tylenol PM 'cause I'm sleeeepy and I can't seem to achieve it naturally, the sleep that is, so i hopes this sense makes. I'm recording my band a full-length album this spring and I want it to sound as best as possible so we don't feel like fools paying for...

I've got a problem. My band's drummer's got a pearl forum series kit and the snare has, at times, sounded really good, but it's mostly been random. I understand how to achieve different sounds with toms and kicks, but snares, not so much. We play a mix of ska, punk and progressive rock (we...

There's a son called "Ilyena" where at 4:15, it starts this little drum/percussion break and then leads to the end of the song, you can really hear the drums here. I don't think they used any sampling or triggering on this, so it's probably a real drum sound, but aside from this whole CD...

The Crypt Creepers Psychobilly band I am working on mixing. This is just a day of thing, I'm gonna motown that shit and make it a little more lively. They were fun!
