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...

ok, im torn between the 2 WAVES plugins. Im looking for something to put on my master buss as a compressor so i can gently caress my mixes and maybe add some excitement too. Something to feed my stuff into while i mix..... i currently use the SSL 4000 compressor (waves) on my master buss, and...

i normally don't do covers.....but i like this song alot... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=465137&songID=7167254 comparing it to the orginal....how did i do? (of course the vocals are replaced with guitars)

From my last thread, i totaly butchered my mix/recording :o hows this one for size? I literally took the same drums, and just re-recorded all the guitars and bass. Its a totally different song altogether now.... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=465137&songID=7148952...

ok, please dont start throwing tomatoes at me yet...... but i do use Izotops Ozone EQ to try to "EQ/Master" my home mixes. But what ive found out, is that the "matching eq" type drasticly changes> for example.....Ill take a snapshot of SONG A, and match it to my mix, thus its telling me to...
