  1. Elec gtr sounds GREAT. I like acoustic too. Vocals sound GREAT. I'm not hearing any problem on top or anything that you're mentioning. What I'm having trouble with is the low end. Bass is getting lost a bit, maybe try giving it distortion so it punches through higher up. Kick drum, in particular, really doesn't seem to fit. The kick has a dull "thwwwump" sound which is no good for this style IMO; try to find a sample that's less Bonham and more pop-ish and see if that works. Drums are so hard to get right, and it seems like that's what's suffering here. You did a great job recording the "real" instruments --- maybe what you need is someone to play real drums and bass, lol. Cool thanks Scud. Yea I guess thats a great thing that the live instruments sound better than the samples. ha. I'll work on the drums some. And yes I thought exactly what you said about the bass. Add more dirt to it to try to bring out the hights of it a little more and maybe even take some more of the lows off of it. I appreciate the feedback. Mixing has always bothered me and kinda been disheartening at times. I'm getting there though!
  2. That sounds really good -- the only thing that rubs me the wrong way is the acoustic guitar. I just don't think it fits in its current position in the stereo spread... I think I would like it better panned to the right side (which sounds pretty empty during the verses) or else doubled or something. I'm hearing a lot on the left side during the verse and I think it's that acoustic guitar is overwhelming over there Or maybe hit it with more reverb so it fades more into the background. it just jumps out too much (for my taste) I think I agree with Scud. Sounds great. Love the clarity of everything. This is what I'm struggling with in my mixes. I also agree that I'd love to hear a stereo acoustic on the verse or hearing that acoustic off completely to one side kinda more out of the way. NO I'm not just copying his comment, I really thought the same thing! lol I also want to hear more vocals on the chorus. The harmonies are cool on the verses and I want to hear even more of them on the chorus. I really feel that would make it sound 'complete' for me. But that's just me.
  3. Just finished this little acoustic number. This is probably the first song I've done focused on acoustic. Anyway, let me know what you think of the mix. Seems I'm always struggling with the top end. I always find myself turning up the volume when compared to 'professional mixes'. Not to turn up the loudness, but to turn up the clarity if that makes sense. Just wondering if it needs more punch in the mids or highs. I may work on more clarity on the bass too. Thanks http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7991398 Umm the title is a work in progress. Recorded in Sonar 7. Baden acoustic recorded with a Pearlman TM2 into a FMR RNP into a Lynx L22. Vocals done the same. Bass, drums and keys are all from Reason. Electric guitar: Egnater Rebel 20 into a Deadroom II with a Sennheiser 906 Thats about my entire studio in a nutshell. Thanks
