First let my clarify that this isn't my band or music. THis is actually the first band that payed to come to my house and do this, which is awesome, cause I've been trying to start this buisness for a while now, and finally, at 16 years of age, I've saved up enough money to get the equiptment. Now I just need to learn to use it.

So drums were recorded in my living room. An RMV kit with zildigin cymbals.

Kick: AKG D112 (he had no port in his head which sucks)
Snare: Sm57
Toms: SM57
OH: really really cheap MXL and AT condensors.

Guitars were podxt

Bass was straight in

vocals were my audio technica mic

everything was tracked and mixed and master in "Nuendo" the interface was a presonus firepod. I mixed it on 20 dolar best buy headphones. for some reason the drummer wouldnt use a metronome, so its crappy timing. THis is more for quality of mix as opposed to quality of music lol.

comments, critique, butt rape, etc are all welcome XD

Intro's good.
What's that ckicking sound? If it's the bass drum it's a REAL bummer. I think itt is too.
A good song sketch with some top ideas - I think you need to do a little more rehearsing & retracking though as it's not very tight.
Bass guitar needs definition.
& redo the bass drum if nought else.
A good start on this one.
 
I agree with the retracking. I asked the band to do more takes (everything was done in one pass) but they said they wanted more raw "punk" energy to it.

oh well

and I seriously cant hear a clicking. maybe its my gay headphones lol
 
Good ideas there and potentially good sound but the drummer's all over the place.. Not just metronome wise but out with himself in places. duffing kik hits in the intro just before gtrs come in etc... If they were tightened up they're a band I'd definately like though! Timing gets better as the song goes on..

Well thanks for commenting. Like I said, the timing thing isnt my fault. I told them we should redo it, but they wanted to remain "true punk" on take thing (everything was one pass)

So whatever. However do you have any comments on how I could improve the mix? That's what I'm looking for here :)

Thanks

Anyone else?
