Here's my first heavy mix for local band Red Morning Voyage. It's meant to be a tester/demo of an old, old song of theirs, for more current stuff look here
Mics used:
57s on snare and toms
Beta52 on kick
Samson CO2s for OH
R144 in the room
Oktava 319/57 on guitar, mixed together and panned hard for each guitarist
Bass went direct into Ampeg SVX (dead strings!)
All vocals w/ 319
While I welcome all comments good and bad, I'm particularly puzzled at why my snare continues to stay fairly lost in the mix and really give away the hasty, basement nature of the recording. It's a Truth 14x7 with an Emperor X, tuned to my ears perfectly, and the kid hitting the skins is incredible. It's probably bad mic placement on my part, but let me know what you think.
Cheers,
