I told myself i wasn't going to post in here again, but for some reason.....i actually enjoy arguing with you guys. You stand by your views, and i admire that. but the reason i QUOTED you above is because, you should think of it in this view/context... Mastering Engineers purposely kill...

ok, heres another version, but the Snare and guitars got LESS compression. The guitars also got a bit of low end boosted (so its not so sterile), and the buss compression was reduced so the SSL comp and API are booth in gain reduction of 0.5db each. I honestly like the old version better after...

Almost 1 year later....... And im posting again. I think i got it this time. Heres a new mix (No Vox, no solo guitar) and its just my "mix bed". What you guys think of this? This is pretty damn CLA/Radio ready I think. I just need to record the Vox and add in some Solo guitar(s), Maybe a synth...

well,....i took everyone advise and tried to apply it to a new song/mix. I was always to worried about the bass eating up the low end headroom......but i guess just do what sounds best? Heres a completely new song/mix, and hopefully the bass guitar is good enough for your all approvals...

Trying to go for a more brighter/aggressive sounding mix on this guitar instrumental rock song. You know,....typical radio-rock sounding stuff........ hows it sound?

ok kids....heres a topic that will drive you all nutz, or be a life saving thread for newbies. Being this is a "home recording" board, many of us probably are using digital DAWS only. The question is.... "How close have you gotten to a really pro sounding radio ready mix?" with using just ITB...

The weird thing is I use Samplitude (DAW), and I just created a EP Album for a friend of mine. Once i got all the mastered songs in order, i set track markers....adjusted fade in/outs....set the pause time between songs....etc no problems there. I then Set each marker and track name, and also...

check it.....im still struggling trying to get this mix into shape.... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=984132&songID=7992411 Things ive noticed so far ( i may be wrong though)... - kick drum needs to have the sub lows tamed a bit to tighten it up - hi hat and ride...

Do you guys think its absolute crap? I dont see much talk about this mic here on this board......

were all cursed with the ever so 'too clean' sound when we record into our digital DAWs. Ive been doing some research on some tape emulation plugins (for Windows VST) that can help create the sound like you recorded on 2" analog tape........that nice warn, spanked, harmonicly rich sound. so far...

Not much in this forum about this program.... I must say, it kicks major ass! For most of use "home recording" junkies....we might not have access to a real drummer. This program could be the ticket to get some realistic drum sounds at home. Heres a quick sample of me playing some basic clean...

ok kids..... I am wondering how most of you guys track your rhythm guitars when recording. Its pretty obvious the most commonly method is tracking 2 separate tracks, and panning them hard left/right. BUt how often do you guys track an additional (also identical) set of guitars and also pan...

im wondering it it would be an advantage if i get a decent sounding preamp. I currently use an old Sontracs TOPAZ mix console, and use the channels preamp......and feed that into a Presonus Firebox to run into my computer. do you think i would hear a major difference if got a decent external...

Ok guys and gals, i need some critical listening and serious feedback. Ive gone recorded this album, and for about a month ive mixed/ mastered it myself (please dont kill me yet, i know i should'nt do it all myself), and have gone in and re-mixed, re-mastered SO MANY TIMES.....just trying to...

is it just me or does it seem like alot of todays rock music was mastered a bit on the "middy" side? Im going through my iTunes playlist, and im noticing anything that was produced in the 2000-2006 era, was mastered a bit on the "glassy" high end side of things, like they used some 10k in the...

Ok, i don understand really why someone has to flip the phase on thieir preamp when recording using the backside of a Ribbon mic. I understand that the backside is the reverse polarity of the ribbon (yadda yadda yadda), but why then flip the phase on the mic preamp? why cant you just use the...

ok....lets try another one....seeing as how the last one was a complete disaster..... and.....herrrreeeeeee....weeee......go! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=465137&songID=7295569 Im thinking this one gels better........what do you all think it needs?

ok my lil' critiques....i mixed, and listened, and checked it in my car, checked in mono, checked it on my home stereo.... i think i may be close on this one.....but still not sure. I need extra ears to listen and tell me what it still needs...

you guys always gave me good advice when it comes to my crappy mixes.... does this one sound ok? am i getting better at mixing? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=465137&songID=7223438

Im sure you all have seen people use heavy Moving blankets and sound proofing materials. Do they work? I just got one that is all cotton and about 8 lbs thick called the "producers choice" http://moverssupplies.com/MOVING-BLANKET/ does anyone know anything about this one? does it help at all...
