Hey, I'm trying to finalize this song here, just trying to get some opinions. I still need to track a real piano, right now it's just a QuadraSynth going direct, which sounds pretty crappy, but all other instruments will probably stay.
The Tundra Toes - Poor Taste in Footwear
Drums I did a recorderman setup with SM81's, and then a 57 on the snare and RE-20 on kick. Bass is DI. Acoustic guitar I miked with a C1000 and an 81, electric guitar I cheated and used GuitarRig
Vocals are just a 58, I actually tried to use a TLM 103 but the singer insisted he liked the 58 better.
I did my main mix in-the-box using Pro Tools, bounced to stereo, and then ran it through the Waves SSL Quad Compressor plug-in.
Any thoughts? Should I back off on the QuadComp a bit? I'm trying to go for a grainy college-radio kind of vibe, so I realize it isn't sonically pristine.
Any comments/constructive criticism is highly appreciated. Thanks!
