Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

it's been a minute, but WHOA !!!!

Tons of good stuff on here.

leaving the station was my favorite, guess it is just me and anything that doesn't contain guitars.

No offemse to the rest. AJ, sneakypete, ben, etc. All of your stuff sounds good.

Sometimes I wonder if this stuff was REALLY done on PTLE

most of these tracks sound "pro" for sure.

Makes me glad I didn't "step up"
to TDM.

Keep rockin"

here is my newest thing.

Remember, this is "house" music, so it is sequenced out and like 9 minutes long. Enables the dj to "mix" it in with other records.

hope you like it !!!

Ok here are my comments on the last few as promised...

Ben - Sounds good, nice drum samples, wish I could understand the lyrics but I am not bilingual. All the samples sound good. Vocal is nice and warm without losing any up top. Nice job. Is it a real bass is is that a sample also?

Kris - Was this mainly done with Reason? I must say I am not an expert on house. Mix wise it sounds nice, I would maybe try to open it up a bit stereo wise with the melodic stuff. Delays, autopanners, stuff like that, it is all kinda sitting in one place. Could use some more glisten up high. Overall sounds great though.

geetar - It is hard to comment on the mix with this one because realplayer is streaming it mono at 20kbs. Good song though. BTW I did not use any outboard gear on oxygen. All stock 001 and 002 stuff, pres and converters. Nothing special mic wise, basic stuff. Vocals were an NT2. I mastered it in LE. Put something a little higher fidelity up, I would love to give you my thoughts.

pete - Listened to Fragile. Good band, very Evanescence. Mix wise, the vocals are too loud and spread, it is taking away from how big the drums and guitars need to feel to keep this rockin. You can hear the drums shrink when she starts to sing. Great song BTW. The guitars could use some beef and high end, are these real amps or Modelers? Bass sounds nice, and the production is pretty darn good.

Ok I have two mixes for you here. One is called Breaking Me (Rock Song), tracked on 001, mixed and mastered on 002. The other is called Airport (not sure what to classify it as). Airport is part of a concept album I just mixed, it was all tracked with 1 Rode NT2 and an Mbox (I did not track it). I mixed and mastered it on my 002.

Did you mean 'Extract from Possibilities' from 'Outside the Cube'?
If so, that was created using my analog keyboard rig straight into the 001's stock converters. It was all improvised and totally experimental.
Actually, all my music is mixed on my 001. The only instruments not directly recorded into the 001 are the drums, most guitars, cello, didgeridoo and vocals on 'Dreams'. They were initially recorded onto 1/2" 16 track then into my 001 through it's converters.
Personally, I don't have a problem with the 001's converters. One day I'd like to buy some 'nice' converters but I don't really 'need' them at present, nor can I justify the expense considering other priorities and what the 001 can do in standard form. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I'm looking forward to checking out everyone's mixes on this thread but at present I have used almost all of my download limit this month. 1GB is all to quickly chewed up on ADSL (I'm up to 960MB), especially with all the OS and Protools updates this month.

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Hello friends. There is some great music going on here. May I toss a couple more in the group?

Ring Of Fire is a slide guitar instrumental cover of the Johnny Cash tune. Canterbury is a rocking dobro insrumental. They are pretty organic and mixed in PT.

Thanks to anyone listening,

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Yes. I was playing around with dr. rex's playing synths and drum samples via cv.

The more I play with reason, the more I learn. Even the editing has gotten easier, learning the key commands is a must! I just use PTLE now for :

1) editing loops for reason.

2) "mastering" my reason songs. (I'm no engineer for sure!)

3)recording sounds from my KORG card or a mic, friends bass, etc.

I can't wait for all of these 6.1 people to "test" it out. I want rewire bad

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Hi guys

This is my very first time posting a song here on the DUC. It's one of the songs soon to be in our gospel CD which is still in the mixing stages. I will appreciate any criticism/comments. Here it is:

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

hi guys...
just back from Destin...anxious to hear this new stuff... [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

I do track everything on the digi 001, and the chain is generally preamp - compressor - RME ADI 8 converter to digi. But when I mix, I generally buss everything down to 8 tracks (the RME converter is also D/A converter) to my crappy Mackie 32X8 board. Then I go from the master buss of the board into another computer and mix to my audiomedia 3 digidesign card.

Plus it was mastered on analog gear also! I like to bring the analog into it for what we do - metal stuff, I think it sounds better.

C'mon people !!!!

I must be the only one without a job right now, just finished my first remix.

A track called "stronger than I am " by an old school (well, early 90's) band by the name of Belizbeha, yeah pronounced

bell-is-beh-ha

All done in PTLE 5.1.1 with heavy TCE, yeah the old school version of it.... Came out pretty nice, I think.

If you have listened to any of my other tracks, this is NOTHING like them.

www.homepage.mac.com/kriswhitten

file is STIA_rmix.

8 minutes of funk, with some great lyrics.

PEACE !!!!

P.S> Basstard, if you listen to this, and "feel" the bass line i would like to maybe have you jam over some drum tracks for me...

Or anyone else for that matter....
