thanks a lot for listening. this is a great spot for learning......
kramer-
agreed- needs real drums. so true.
powderfinger-
again, drums! yes, i know, my kingdom for............
soundprizm-
thanks for listening. i think maybe i gotta re-think the lyric, the concensus seems to be to loose some of the chorus lines.......
jcmm-
ha! more drums......... yes, yes, punch, yes, i understand........ hahahah......
damn drum machine.
thanks for the listen...... i could tweak the low end a little more..... i was afraid to go too far, because in my monitors, it's kicking, but i still don't know how to read my monitors yet (new ones)........
Llarion-
ah yes, ketchup and dragons.
thanks for the comps, yes, the 880ex is a beast...... it's not exactly user friendly, and when i signed up for 8 tracks, i didn't realize it meant 6 tracks to a stereo pair, bounced numbers of times for 24 tracks of recorded music! LOL
alright, i'm convinced to at least try the tambourine in some sections..... i do hear where it would add a certain push to the meter.....
and maybe it'll cover up the bass drum!
mixmkr-
so you think the vocals are apropo? i wasn't sure.... i have older versions of this song, and had thought about going totally instrumental with it...... doing the vocal lines with the guitars.....
yeah, i think IUMA has gotten too big for it's britches, which is a shame, cuz it's about the best thing for indie artists, as far as getting stuff posted without having to jump through too many hoops.....
separation. i've just got to mix more with these new monitors, i can really hear so much better now, but have no idea how what i'm hearing transfers to other systems yet........
Lt. Bob-
Yes, eh? I love yes, especially the bruford years, i guess your talking about a rick through a marshall stack sound, huh?!
2.5khz, that'd be a good place to pull down a little bit..... i was real concerned about 1.5khz, i actually pushed it a little bit during mastering, just to help the mids get a little bite, maybe that influenced there as well........... good point, thanks..........
milesmaxwell-
yeah, i took the stereo tracks from the drums machine, then put them through a mastering algorythm to push 90hz, 250hz, and tweak the high end a bit..... some compression to bring out the kick....yeah, you wouldn't believe how much better it sounded than the original tracks! LOL
the guitars were the simplest, and most straightforward part to record..... almost no eq (low rolloff at 80hz) and a mic in front of the cabinet.......
Guernica-
thanks for listening. you know, i think you're right about the panning on the leads.......... i tried to put them left and right, in areas i had left open......... thinking this would give the most separation...... and it did......
and now i'm not sure that was the best thing............?
i guess i was worried about buildup of frequencies by putting guitars on top of guitars.........
but that's my brain getting in the way of my ears.........
well, i will be working on this mix for a little while, i've got so much food for thought here, and i'll try to re-pan things and see how it goes..........
participant-
ha! disco funk.......... well, i played my share of that in cover bands in the early 80's......... i might could program something a little more in that vein.................
