I suppose, from a mix perspective, the bottom could be tightened a bit and the drums brought out a bit, though not necessarily up a bit. The overall sound is good and dense, but there could be a little more separation. I realize the decision to keep the vox a little down might be aesthetic preference. Anyway, I bet you guys kick live.

Get some more tracks up there? Thanks for listening and the kind words! The mix obviously sounds better when not compressed to mp3, and originally the mix had a little more drume out there. However, our label asked us to remix with a heavier guitar sound. Which ended up making for a heavier sound, although a little bit of the clarity was sacrificed. And yeah, we like to keep the vox not quite as forward. We're going to have a sample of another song up in the next few days. All our other songs are too long to fit on the page as a whole track! Thanks again for listening and for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gtrwiz Posted January 18, 2007 Members Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hey guys, I normally hang out on the guitar forums, but thought this might be better suited here. I'm mixing a couple of tunes and want some input. First off, I am not a mixer, I'm a guitar player, I hate mixing, but I need this done now. I have a guy to the final mixes. Second, since I'm not a mixer don't worry about offending me, but if you think the song sux you can kindly keep that to yourself. The first song is called Bringin' Me Down. http://homepage.mac.com/gtrwiz/FileSharing1.html One more thing, the first person to correctly name the two guitar players that inspired the solo will get a free copy of the CD, if I ever get it finished... Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. Hmmm...thhe solo is a strange combo of simple roots-riff style with some big pyrotechnic flourishes... So here are my guesses as I bid for the free CD. Since the song puts one in mind of Tom Petty, I'm going to say that Mike Campbell is one of influence--the rootsier sife, obviously. For the flashier stuff, hmmm. At first I thought it was a little Yngvie-like, but now I'm switching over to Vai. Mike Campbell and Steve Vai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'll give it to you because none of the mooks on the FX forum are even close, they're all saying Slash and Joe Perry! But yes Mike C and Yngwie are the right answers. PM me with your info, and I'll send you a CD when it's finished. Any thoughts on the mix? I've already mad some major changes to the drums, much more clear and distinct.

First guess is best, I guess. BTW, it's a really good solo. I don;t really have any comments on the mix, other than that I thought it sounded good and chunky, exactly as one might like for heavier take on a a kind of Tom Petty sound.

The goal is basically Petty meets Foo Fighters, with some pickin' thrown in for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, it is not going terribly well. But if you like proficient instrumental metal and virtuoisic drummers, y'all should check out Severance... Hey, I spent a snowy night in Shelton, CT once, holed up in one of the many "business hotels" there on a trip back from Mohegan Sun. had a great time actually.

Members LiveMusic Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 streaming song linkHere is my first attempt to mic a guitar with a "real" mic. (Instead of the tiny mic on my Fostex recorder.) It was a Shure sm57. That's all I got!You will hear a flash encoding... I don't know what that does to mp3 quality. I'm just curious if you think it sounds decent for a "work demo" or "rough demo" or whatever you want to call something not a master. As well as the song itself, the writing. I am a serious songwriter and I always appreciate feedback of any kind and I can take it! Any comments welcome.streaming song link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeathMonkey Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 OK, here's a song for ya:http://www.mp3lizard.com/download.cfm?id=23511It will eventually be a vocal tune. All the guitars were done with a VHT Deliverance 120, all with the same amp setting. All gain and tone changes are from the guitar. Loops were done in Sundtrack Pro and flown in. It's a rough, static mix, but let me know what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rough, static mix, but let me know what you think! I think this is a solid track with really good guitar work. The sound make me want to hear real drums, but it is well written and played really well. A nice vocal track on top and you have a strong rock tune. I like the keyboard parts because they offset the straight ahead rock sound, but I do think it needs real, or better, drums. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any constructive criticism at all. You categorize yourself as AAA and I would agree. Exactly what you would hear on an AAA station. Have you made any attempt to work with a label? What has your experience been? If you don't mind my asking, how many cds do you sell at a typical gig? What is a typical gig, btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me what you think.. What I liked: Guitar tones, vocals, recording quality, drums What I didn't like: Poor synchronization Has a nice classic rock sound to it that I really liked. However, it doesn't seem like the guitar part and drums quite line up in a few places. Also, the vocals are out of sync sometimes too. I'm no cubase/sonar expert, but if you use some sort of computer software, I bet these things could be edited to line up better. Practice will also take care of this, lots of practice. Overall, I could hear nuggets of good stuff in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Magpel Posted February 16, 2007 Members Share Posted February 16, 2007 Heh, odd situation posting in this thread about some rough, unfinished recordings that are frozen in time, error-ridden and unchangeable. The last, unfinished recordings of my mid-'90s Indie/experimental band Wormwood are now available at the link in my sig. These were put online for archival and sentimental reasons. It was a pretty weird and in some ways wonderful band, out of tune and out of time alot but in also very deft and complex, sometimes. The band story, or at least my version of it, is there as well.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
