Two New(er) Songs from Lemon Test! - Recording Suggestions, etc.

[Confusitron]

Listened to TRAIN. I think that this mix has good potential. I think everything has been recorded pretty decent, but your levels arent happening right now. I would turn down the cymbals and your drum mix, and would make the guitar and bass more prominent in the mix. GOOD LUCK.

Yes, in Train the drums/cymbals were quite prominent. I'll make sure that sort of thing doesn't happen on this next song I'm working on, which is why I'm posting again...

i agree with rami, probably the precieved harshness in the cimbals has to do with bleed in the snare and possibly other mics.

have you tried gating the kick and snare?

my only real problem is it feels like the performance is happening in 3 different rooms. it doesn't sound like a band, it sounds like a bunch of performers.
you need to "put them in the same room" somehow. this is often done with reverb.

In this upcoming song, I've gated the toms, as well as the bass drum, and the overheads probably won't be up as high in the mix.

What kind of reverb should I apply to "put them in the same room"? Should this be on every track? I need some more specific information, not unless it is entirely based on experimentation.

Also, I recorded a Wurlitzer from the Aux. output. It's got some electric buzz on the signal and I need a way to remove it. What can I do? Can I do anything about it?
