Something to check out

This song was produced for a high school poetry project where the student writes some poetry and local artists pick one to write a song to it.

The band: The Red Sector is who this is. I didn't mix or master this, but I tracked the drums/bass/guitars.

I just put this up to test my new VERY fast dsl connection (a little over 715kbps upload speed! ) so I thought I might just post this.

The drums sound anemic (they certainly weren't tracked that way!) and the rhythem guitars sort of got buried. Oh well, I ain't gonna spend too much time defending the mix cause I didn't mix it.

I think the mix is pretty is good, although a bit hyped. I love the way everything stands out nice and clear. Maybe I'm just used to what I hear here.

The music bores me. I've heard this kind of stuff a hundred too many times.

It's like a guy with money buying a pretty woman. Nothing very interesting going on.

 

[sonusman]

I agree. The song is sort of, dorky. They certainly didn't spend that much time writing/arranging it.

How come the wav file's almost solid? How come the peaks go right up the clip line and yet the sound doesn't distort? What's going on - an aggressive limiting?

I am actually pretty impressed. Would like to see the level on the drums higher, but, pretty good.

It is called experience. Truthfully though, I don't know what they guy used to master it. I am sure the Waves LinEQ and L2, possibly the L2 done twice.

Experience?

Most of the time when I see that sort of waveform it was just some Bozo with a Maximizer plug-in.

I never see that on tasty recordings mastered by the top-flight pros on program material that requires some dynamic range.
