It's downloading now, Murph...will listen tomorrow...looking forward to it.

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

Great tune, murph. Really well done.

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

Very nice job, Murph...good job on mix & production of a very good song. Are you singing?
thanks, Roy

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

Yes, excellent job Murph. Good playing, singing, recording..... good job all round.
Beware of phasing issues though. There's a heap of stuff happening in the anti-phase area on the Waves PAZ analyzer.
Listen to your tracks in mono to see what is missing.

Archtop,
If you see this... I need a copy of your song 'Father's Day' (that I played on) if you have it. I lost it in a recent crash. I'm building a 'collaborators' page (with 23 others so far).

thanks, Roy

All,
Had a band in this weekend and had a great time recording them. Very LIVE feel (Not the band) However they do have a 311 vibe and sort of Incubus style. Here is a rough mixed version without vocals. That is coming this week.

Anyways, enjoy and comments are always welcome as usual. I will post the other songs later when I get them mixed....

OUT OF AIR

Snare = SM57 (top)
Snare = Oktava 012 (bottom)
Small Tom = SM57
Middle = Sennheiser 421
Floor = Sennheiser 421
Kick = D112
Overheads = Oktava 012 (XY pattern)

Bass = SANS AMP RBI
Guitar mic'd with a sennheiser E609 Silver with numerous pedals rockin'

Drum Verb = Lexicon PCM90. Set to a medium room...
Guitars have Waves TrueVerb

IT WAS FUN!

Roy,
Thanks for checking it out.
Yes I'm singing, played piano, synth strings, synth bass, midi drums. My friend Adam did all the guitars.
The song's about ten years old. One of my favorite songs by my absolute favorite songwriter Steve Lukather. I always wanted to do a version, so I used this as a benchmark for my first "psuedo solo" project.

Aussie,
That's precisely the type of response I was looking for. Thanks. This piece is my personal "report card" for the two years I've been trying to turn myself into a ProTools engineer.
I'm gonna throw the PAZ on the Master bus and probe around.
If you don't mind expounding a bit...what should I be looking/listening for? I imagine there are a number of ways I could have incurred some latency and phasing...plug-ins, AUX busses...my analog Master Mix...
This is another example of the invaluable knowledge I get from you guys.
I've been trying to grasp the whole phasing/delay/latency matter in my continuing self-education but I've been slacking. I really need to bear down and conquer it before I move on to bigger and better things.


Thanks for your input.

Aussie,
Just listened to the mix in mono, and for sure the reverb and delay are pretty much gone.
I used outboard verb on the mix, so maybe I'm doing that wrong.
I'm going to listen to individual tracks and AUX busses in mono later tonight when I have more time and see what I can find.

Thanks again for the heads up. I can tell already that I'm going to learn alot from this!!

Murph
This phase thing is a pain to sort out sometimes. And quite often it isn't even worth sorting out. If the mix still sounds "OK" in mono, then leave it. Let's face it..... of the (less than) 1% of people likely to listen to your stuff in mono, most of them will be on a system/speaker so crappy, that they wouldn't hear subtle reverb and delay even if it was there.
I've even run PAZ over professional commercial mixes from artists like Sting and Peter Gabriel, and there's still plently of phase issues in there.
So basically, unless instuments are disappearing or changing drastically, it's probably not worth getting too hung up about.
