    First Mixing job as a "professional"

    Hey guys, I just finished this recording/mixing job for my first client. Everything is natural here, real amps/cabs and all real drums with no sample replacement. Let me know what you guys think. The only thing I'm worried about is the low end may be a bit too boomy...

    Moody rocker - Live performance in one take

    Hey guys. Usually when I record my band we do it one instrument at a time, but I was in a hurry to get a scratch track I could write my vocals to so I just threw some 57's in front of the guitar players' cabs, took the DI out feed on my bass player's head, threw up a pair of SM81's as drum...

    Hard rock mix - first with new monitors

    Hey guys, this is a song from my new band, and the first mix I've done before on my new Yamaha HS80m monitors. All the instruments here are real, including the drums. There is some sample augmentation going on, but the samples were all made from the drummer's own kit (except for the kick)...

    Tough Thrash metal mix (it's not terrible, i promise)

    Hey guys, let me know what you think of this mix! It is for a song that will be on my band's album. I played the left rhythm guitars, did the vox, and the last little lead part over the last chorus. Drums are real, with toms/kick replaced and the snare is blended with another sample. Cymbals...

    Another Fade2Muffins metal mix...This one's tricky.

    Hey Guys, I am having some trouble with this mix. The vocals don't sound quite right to me (a little upper-mid-rangey to me) and I'm having a freakin hard time getting the rhythm guitars to sound right. This was my recording chain for the guitars Jackson DKMG -> Peavey 6505+ -> Avatar Cab w/...

    Metal song, needs some mixing advice!

    Hey guys, this is an unfinished track from my band's upcoming album. Now, it's a long way from being done, but it's called "To the One Who Holds the Key" and it's basically a giant metaphor for being an unsigned band and trying to gain recognition. On this particular recording, I handled all...
