Thanks! Yeah Snares always been my weakness. Never really pounds down the middle like I want it to. I think just working with the overheads first is the best advice I can work with right now. After all, it should technically only get better from then on with the close mics right? Thanks for the...

thanks for the tips guys. I've never really done too much in terms of experimenting so I know a few good hours of movement and listening will give me a more specific answer as to what will work for me. To date I've usually just spaced them out over the general left/right areas. Here's probably...

Hey all, first off my set up includes: lots of sm57's, beta 52, and a pair of Studio Projects C4. Im recording in an unfinished basement. I have 8 inputs to use and plan on close miking the toms and 2 on the snare. My question is: Do you guys think its better for me to focus on getting my OH's...

Thanks! Some of the songs were conceived quite a few years back. But it took about a year and a bit from the beginning of tracking to the end of mastering.

Follow up: I'd like to take back the comments against the engineer. The idea was to have an answer before people developed their own ideas why it doesn't sound all that great. However, that's not the purpose of this thread. It's all about bringing out some music. If I could edit my post I would...

Hi everyone, I've been a fan of this forum for a long time. Learned a few things and had a few people work on some of my bands live stuff for mixing practice. Here's our debut album, we'd all appreciate if you all wanted to give it a listen. You can download the music if you like. the album is...

Ah, gotcha. Yeah I don't really have much to compare to. I wouldn't exactly be needing anything that'll allow me to play the drums at 2 am while everyone sleeps, but perhaps get it to a level where its not blaring on the main level of the house and not audible outside. Do you guys recommend...

Thats cool, but I don't think the answer Im looking for is in there. I was looking for more of an xray type idea of how the room within a room is built and which materials are placed at what points between the walls (ie. insulation,drywall, double drywall) Just seeing if theres any specific...

Hi everyone, we've been strongly considering finishing our basement lately and I want to have a room dedicated to my instruments that'll at least block MOST of the sound out. On the inside I wouldn't go too crazy with internal design as if we sell the house I want the room to be convenient to...

Thanks for the discussion everyone! So what Im getting out of all of this is that 1. I shouldn't consider my average peaks as my headroom, I should work off of the single highest peaks. and 2. Since Im not running any group compression, and that I have the mix level I like, turning down the...

Hey everyone, Im relatively new to mixing and am working on my bands first project. I know that it is recommended to leave roughly -3 to -6 db of headroom when mixing down. On a few of these songs, the majority of the instruments stay within these boundaries but there will be the odd snare or...

I just ordered a Lenovo Thinkpad T520. 15" screen, i7 quad core, 8 gig ram, 500 gb HDD 7200 rpm for $1500 after tax. Ive heard very good things about them so I got my expectations set fairly high.

haha sorry if that came across rude. I thought you did that as a joke or something

Sounds like it would be a good mix if you didnt detune the hell out of it! lol but thanks? Is anyone else going to be contributing? Just asking so I can try to plan the final mixes. If you are then I'll wait. Thanks

Thank you guys. Im listening to these right now and they sound fantastic. Thanks a lot! We appreciate it big time.

Thanks Mike! They should be lined up already. I already cut some of the parts that werent necessary as well so some of the work is already done. Should just be the fun stuff that youre left with. (along with fixing my voice haha)

OK!! FINALLY got everything up and running!

Still uploading. Will post link here when its finished.

I use Cubase, but it looks like Pro Tools is the main thing these days
