www.myspace.com/seraphiliac play the song "CicadaF2"

me and 3 buddies jammed out some stuff yesterday and i think i'm getting close to a good mix. we recorded 3 guitars and the drums live, then overdubbed bass(me), more electric guitar, and some brief acoustic. Still working on getting the drummer to use a click track. please excuse our timing.

be nice we only are just learning here. plus i don't think my den has the *best* acoustics(although its probably my recording technique that needs the work).

as far as equipment/technique:

guitar amps were a crate 2x12 combo (boss distortion pedal for distorted parts) and a kustom half stack (very light onboard distortion)

guitars were done with audix mics(f10s and SM57), the bass i fed direct into my yamaha board, and the drums got 2 overheads(audix f15), kick(audix f12), bottom snare(SM57), and 1 tom/ride (blue ball), acoustic guitar with blue ball.

19 tracks in cubase sx, some compressor, a little reverb on a couple things, etc.



please don't flame!
 
Hi

more guitar

tune itself ik okay

Remco
 
alright the song on that site is an updated mix now. lowered the cymbals, added somoe more eq on the guits and turned up the overall guitar volume.

for those who didnt hear old one, how is it? (and for those who heard old one, is this better?)
 
hi,

this is a bit better but the cymbel/hats are stil a tad loud ,maybe a bit more snare drum.
guit's are fine now
maybe a bit more basguitar

be carefull with the compressor

Remco
 
the guitars are way too low in the mix so bring them out of the murky hole
pull down those overheads
the snare is dull next time try putting the 57 over the snare rather then under and dont worry if the drumer hits it the 57 can take more then tht
your stereo field is a little thin so try spreading out the oh and guitars and verb helps alot use it
goodluck
 
alright i brought the overheards down, guitars up, panned things to the sides a bit more. i put it on the site as "CicadaF2 less OH more Guits" so check that out. thanks everybody for the great advice.
