http://www.myspace.com/proazza/music/songs/little-of-this-little-of-that-81448307?ap=1 Looking for critique on mixing, production, etc. Anything I could've done better. All instruments recorded in real time. CV 50 Tele on top and CV60 Strat in the back. Yamaha DTX drum kit and Ibanez 5 string bass. Recorded on a Tascam Portastudio 01 8 track.

First time posting here. I had been playing professionally up until a few years ago. I started at 13 and now at age 59 (60 this August), I find myself with a little studio in my basement, time, inspiration that comes and goes, and too many guitars. What I'm looking for is a critique of my mixing, production and EQing attempts. I've been working with this equipment for a while and feel I may have finally gotten some good mixes but have no one to tell me whether I'm on the right track or not. I record everything myself in real time, including drums, bass, and keyboards, to a click track (no vocals). In posting tunes before on other forums I've had people comment on the drums being off the beat as they analyze the song through a daw program and I'm well aware of the fact that I play a bit behind. I don't use 'backing tracks', loops, or drum machines, I'm making an effort to make it all sound human. I don't use any of the current software tools. The mix gets burned to a disc and then uploaded to my pc. Fairly old school. But that's me. Equipment: Portistudio 01 8-track Blue Sky EXO Moniter system Audio-Techica mic Fender Super Champ XD Variety of Fender/Squier guitars and basses Yamaha DTX drums On this tune I used a CV50 Tele on top, CV60 Strat for backing w/chorus, Ibanez 5-string bass. The amp was on channel 2, voice 1 (Bassman) gain at 8, treble at 8, bass at 10. Amp is patched out to an ext cab with a Celestion 80w 12". Mic is placed behind the cab just above the opening in the semi-closed back cab. A Boss NS-2 was employed. Bass was direct and the drums were panned about 10 to 2 o'clock Thanks for any suggestions and I hope you actually like the tune.
