i left the other ones up, if you want to compare em....

anyway, this has a completely new bass part.

carvin LB-70>>Barber tone Press>>boss NS-1>>mesa boogie mark2b head, clean channel, driven hard, with a slight smile on the 5-band eq....

slave out, into ART DPS set for 'MULTI', digital out into vs


guitar part: panned at left-19, 15ms delay hard panned to the right, Reverb hard panned to the left

vox levels turned up, and drums tweaked as well.

does this one work any better?
 
Bass is a bit 'in your face' and sits all by itself in the mix. Drums, vox, and guitars sound great though and are well balanced (wouldn't change anything there).

I'd probably compress the bass a little more, lower its volume, then add a light stereo chorus to it so it isn't sitting in the exact middle of the mix all the time. This should keep its definition without it being lost in the mix. Sounds like if you just simoply lowered it in the mix you would experience issues with it punching through.

Vocals remind me of the Perry Farrel (sp?) guy from Jane's Addiction.

The end is a little messy, and doesn't really build to it. Just kinda like "well, we need to stop now". :p
 
Same feeling as the last track:
Vocals were a tad low for my taste, I like them right out there in front. Where they are now blends nicely so I should mention that is a personal preference...

The (new) bass is nicely done but I found it a bit boomy or bassy (lol it's a bass). But I would like more highs....

Again, the writing, playing and singing are top notch....
 
If there are no rights issues to your stuff would you like to be on my podcast?

thanks for listening..
yeah, i missed the mark with the bass eq....
man i'm tryin
LOL

gonna redo the bass, master the track by itself, try to balance out the eq and the compression with multiband...
get it sitting just right....
i like janes addiction...
but i never did heroin...
;)

maybe i'll add something to spice up the ending, so it doesn't mellow out...
it's cuz the one guitar part just goes solo-y there at the end, and just finishes the D riff....
maybe some multi tracked solo things going up while that one's coming down...
and some good old fashioned rock and roll screams.......!
LOL

any info on the podcast you asked about?

i'd love a link....
 
I think I've heard this one before. The mix is a little bass heavy. On headphones the snare is skewed to the left, drums sound good though. Guitars sound great. I like those backing vox too. Cool tune

I would like about 8-12 minutes worth of stuff from each band.

if the bass sounds heavy on your playback, would you mind telling me what you're listening thru?
i'm trying to figure out which kinds of systems this mix is not translating well thru....
that drum panning, i just can't figure out why the acid programming would pan them that way, but it did by default.
i can try panning the stereo drum track more to the right to offset that effect...
thanks for commenting...

innovations-
i sent you a mp3 package...
hope you can use it!
 
Gonzo I'm just listening through my headphones. Listening again, that's still the impression I get. However take anything I say about bass with a grain of salt coz I'm hopeless getting the bass right
 
gotcha, bulls hit...
so even in the headphones, eh?

i keep hearing songs on the radio, new songs, where the bass is really kicking and in your face like this one...

so is it out of fashion, now, to mix that way?

i'm a bit confused...

my cd collection is pretty varied..

and i sit and listen to old classic rock mixes, that i really dig...

then listen to new modern rock mixes...
then listen to jazz, fusion, all that crap...

and everybody is all over the map with the bass mixes.



how does one determine the proper method to get the bass mixes at a popularly-accepted level, or is it really more about having good solid bass mixes that don't stick out anywhere in particular, that sit pretty through the whole thing?

is this simply a compression and minor eq-adjustment fix?
