My recording setup is brand new and this is my first test, a Shins cover... thoughts on the mix?

 
sounds good to me, nice work. no other comments or suggestions here... :cool:
 
Thanks for the encouragement... working on my mixing as I use headphones as opposed to a nice pair of monitors. I can't believe what can be accomplished with a nice mic and garageband these days. My last home studio attempts were with a Tascam 8-track recorder on cassette (of all things) and a couple sm57's. Sounded pretty brutal -- then again I didn't really know what I was doing back then. And I only "kinda" do now.. lol.
 
well it sounds great considering it was mixed on a set of headphones. the mix sounds fine on my monitors, not that they are really any good haha.
 
Sounds really nice. How did you record the acoustic? Are you playing that bass drum? I liked the vocals, quite mellow. Nice instruments and a good mix. Hats off to that
 
Very nice.

Certainly captures the feel and has almost all the elements of the original. Can't think of anything wrong with it. Performed to a T, recorded well, mixed well.

Good job
 
Thanks. I recorded using the setup below, garageband for drums and key bass (if you can believe it). Garageband is great for what it is.

So, I guess I can use these Sony cans for monitors? That is really encouraging!!!
 
Oh -- I just recorded the acoustic with setup below. Rode mic (pretty close up) and the Martin acoustic. I was just listening to a recording I did with a small diaphram oktava and a cheapo Yamaha acoustic and it sounded horrible. I've learned that the right equipment does make a difference -- of course, that's different for everybody. But my current setup really suits my needs (and my budget). I recommend it!
