Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 
All,
Well FINALLY the Guys from BABA G' NUSH finished up their 5 song EP and we just got it back from mastering up in New York withNathan James at Jigsaw Sound. I have the 5 songs up on my MySpace player in a 320kps format for a little better quality. All I can say is all the hard worked paid off. This thing turned out great1 Check it out and hit them up on MySpace too when ya can.

The tunes are at my myspace:

BABA G' NUSH on MYSPACE


Enjoy,

de-essing
 
Roy, IntelDoc, (anyone who has advice),

I'm having a lot of trouble with esses. I know my recordings are not so high-quality that it really matters that much, but anyway. My current method, which I learned from an engineer in a studio in San Francisco, is to use a separate vocal reverb send whose aux track has the high end rolled off, but it makes the reverb murky, so I end up bringing up the regular reverb send to compensate, and the esses return in all their ear-lancing brightness. Rolling off the treble on the vocal track kills the dynamics of the vocals (in my opinion), and I haven't found the de-esser function of the Digirack Compressor very helpful. Mic techniques notwithstanding, can I get some general de-essing advice?

Roy, thanks for listening to Jeremy, Johnny-O, Josiane. It was fun recording it. I wrote it as a folksong about a decade ago, but when I sat down to record it, I had been listening to an old Subhumans record all day. Here's my latest, complete with splashy esses.

IntelDoc, moving to your general area in Nov 07...I think...maybe. Anyway, your site, sounds, and studio are amazing. I would really love to come record a demo there.

Jack Rabbit,
Thanks, if I am still here not a prob, may be moving to Denver and am trying to get my house ready to sell.

Have you tried the waves de-es plug? More later, gotta run

Get in touch when you are in town. More on De-esss.. later... Pop screen, or two i a good first defense.

Re: de-essing
 
You can also try volume automation.
It can be tedious, but a little automated dip in volume on the strong "esss" sounds can work well.

Haven't posted anything for a long time.
Been building a new studio.

Here's a track from our first paying customer.
Band's a bit inexperienced and loose, but I'm pretty happy with the mix.

Feedback Please!!
 
My first mix with my 002R and PTLE 6.4
I didn't track it, they just bought me the raw tracks from a tracking session they did elsewhere.

Band are some young friends of mine from the local area.

At the moment I only have BOSE 101s to monitor through, so any advice/feedback from you seasoned pros would be great!!
Thanks so much.

mr Roy Howell this song is really good, thanks for posting what you done, is there any way that you can share with us some of the process you use for this song, I mean like did you track everything yourself, if so did you only use the 002rack or did you use any another gear, did you mix it on protools and did your mastered it also on protools? sorry if this seems like a lot of question but i am curious because when i heard this track i was like wow, now that sounds like a good track,

hope you can share what you can

thanks in advance

Looking for some help...
 
Yea... below is a song I did recently with a band. The song is turning out pretty good for the time invested but I was wondering if anyone had any input on how to make the mix less boxy sounding... The vocals seem to sound boxy... That and I have a hard time finding a balance in the low end with bass and kick drum. I guess I'm looking for more clarity without being boom hissy...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The song: Give It Up.v.5

The band is called Dream For Underwood and they are pretty sweet. I just want to make them sound good.

I would like to humbly submit 2 short jingles that I did to open and close an English-language project for a Swedish publisher. Done with Garage Band, Sample Tank, and 4 saxophones (played by yours truly.)
Neumann U87 for the horns.
Here are the links:

Dual 2.5

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm self-taught when it comes to recording, and obviously have a lot to learn-I work mostly with post-production.

Percussion- used edited Stylus loops and Reason to trigger various one-hits.
Bass- played a little $200 Ibanez through a GreatRiver mp-2nv(Pre), and a tweaked amplitube setting.
Main guitar(including solos)- UniValve head/1-12 Mesa cab...mics, Gefell M930 and senn e609...also used some tweaked GuitRig here and there.

3 solo vocals on this, as well as BGVs, so...
Solo 1/chain- Waves DeEsser, SSL eq, Antares Tube(very slight), RenComp, RenVox
Solo 2(female vocal)- Waves DeEsser, SSL Channel, RenComp, RenVox
Solo 3- Waves DeEsser, RenComp, RenVox (no eq needed)
BGVs main- SSL eq, Antares Tube, RenComp
More BGV's(Ooh's)- SSL eq, RenComp

Used 2 IRverbs slightly on this and that...one short, one long.

Various RH guitar/mandolin samples.


Mastered ITB by Ola Sonmark/Sweden... chain/Waves C4, Elemental Equium, URS SSL, URS Fulltec and Waves L3 Multiband.



Hope that helps in some way, and thanks for listening.

I keep getting "connection failed" when I try to play the songs. Might be a MySpace quirk...I'll try again later.

I may as well put my MySpace music up for scrutiny as well. I used an M-Box with version 6.1. (I'm in love with Pro Tools.) A Boss 880 drum machine, Amplitube, and Sampletank were used in addition to the regular guitar and amp things.

For the most part, these sound the way they sounded in my head. But any critique is welcome. I'm most proud of "These Hands". (Because it's my latest....go figure, right?)

Hey guys, got a few new ones, plus a few DUC collabs up that have been happening over in the TR for a bit. check it out here. We also have a brand new DUC collab called Swing Thing in the works.

Roy: nice work as always man. How are things?

Harpo 12-22-2006 05:10 AM

New one!
 
I feel so darn prolific....Just finished a new one and put it up on MySpace. Cranked up the guitars for this one and got all sarcastic. But couldn't shake the ABBA influence for the chorus and stuck a flamenco guitar solo in the middle of it all. It can be done!

Isn't music fun? It's called "Brood".
