Listening on my laptop even at low volume, things seem a bit bright and a bit out of balance. I would start by rolling off the highs a bit. I have no idea what your room environment is, but I would listen at a lower volume and EQ the vocal of you a bit differently Less it more. Good Luck! G |
Re: My first mixed song any Advice
I think it sounds pretty good all things considered, your vocal sit well and given that you've had no control over the bed and chorus mix... I'd say well done!

If you're overall satisfied with the sound, just drop a high-shelving EQ to drop the highs. It is hard to tell what you're looking for, but what "everyone" notices is too much high end on vocals. Makes ones ears turn backwards :P |

Ok thank you. Good idea. Would you happen to know where trouble frequencies are us usually hiding? I know for every vocal it's different but just a starting point? |
Re: My first mixed song any Advice
Before you go nuts with EQ and listening loud(...?), listen to your mix on many different speakers in many different locations. Get a feel for the sort of damage that may be happening to your mix by being played through your speakers. If your mix seems bright to other listeners, your speakers may not be accurately reproducing high frequencies.
If, after you do that, it still seems too bright to you, grab your EQ and go nuts. I like to BOOST a NARROW (Hi-Q) frequency region and dial the frequency selector around until you hurt yourself. THAT is your problem region. Switch to CUT, BROADEN (reduce the Q) the frequency region a little and gently cut a dB or two and see how you like your mix now. Also, instead of listening loud, listen very quietly. That can help reveal if the balance between elements in your mix is the way you want it. |

I still recommend listening to this very loud :) But bear in mind that you can only listen to loud mix for very few minutes, so you need to know that you're listening to (low-high) spectral balance instead of track balance. |

Re: My first mixed song any Advice
the female voice sounds like a Dentist Drill...
specially at 2:30 https://youtu.be/Em1jHFEpC7A?t=5m the male voice sounds in the back ground. "one is too close and annoying the other is too far an mellow." the guitar riff, sounds ok, but shy... try using a 12ax7 tube emulator to give more balls to some things. what i´ve seen in RAP music, is that they try to hide an incredible engineering in dark tone. |

Re: Let's hear your latest stuff....right here
Ok, so I recorded this album 5 years ago and started off on Cakewalk Sonar 8 to 8.5 to X1 on a PC to finally upgrading everything to an iMac running Pro Tools 11 and basically turning my 2nd bedroom into a home recording studio.
It's a 10 song album with 3 loaded up on Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/sutterville It's an Alternative/Indie Rock album. Some of my friends have said it's got a bit of an Emo feel to it here and there. I took many courses online from Joe Gilder at Home Recording Studio to Graham Cochrane at The Recording Revolution. Mixed everything with stock plugins, but because I had a few Steven Slate Plug-Ins and use his SSD4 for my drums, I ended up getting the Audio Legends Mixing Course with Chris Lord Alge and I ended up remixing everything with the Slate Digital Bundle monthly deal package and following the CLA Method of mixing on it and for the most part loved it. I used Steven Slate Drums 4 with the CLA Expansion pack for the drums. Guitar I used Postive Grid's Bias FX and Amp, along with Choptones Amp Match patches. I used their Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier patches for the distorted rhythm guitars and used their Engl Powerball 2 patches for any lead or melody guitar work. Bass I just used the strait original recorded sound. Half the clean guitar work were sound loops and the other half were me. I wrote the songs, played almost all the guitar, played all the bass, sang all the songs, arraigned all the drum midi to match what I was doing, did all the mixing and I mastered each song on the master fader using a series of Virtual Console Collection, Slate Digital Red Compressor, Virtual Tape Machine and the FG-X Limiter/Master plug-in.. Hope you like it! Please give me some feedback. What you like. What you don't like. What you think I could have done better. Currently getting ready to work on a follow up album, so any advice would sure be appreciated. Thanks! |
Re: Let's hear your latest stuff....right here
i havent posted in this part of the forum for a long time. Here are 2 samples of some work ive done recently. This one had a bigger budget by the band so a little more time was spent plus the musicianship is a little better, which always helps when recording/mixing i find.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/74ek4hyx7q...0fade.mp3?dl=0 This one had a very small budget so things were done quicker than normal plus these are young guys who have just started up. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fmcq76ibe3...r%201.mp3?dl=0 I'd love for people to have a listen and give me some constructive points on what is good and what is bad. I'm always up for learning to improve my mixes/recordings. Thanks in advance :-) |
Re: Let's hear your latest stuff....right here
Sounds great, I'm on headphones so who knows how it sounds on monitors....
I like the first group, the time changes and it's got a groove The 2nd sounds nice, but I personally like a little bit more buzz in my distorted rhythm guitars... Upper mid range....a la Joan Jett. But it might just be my headphones!!! Cheers |
Re: Let's hear your latest stuff....right here
My band is about to release a 3-song EP and I would like to hear what you think of my mixes. Feel free to criticize without compassion, as i'm not a profesional mixing engineer it will only help me :) Thanks in advance!!!

Hey guys!
I found an isolated Whitney Houston vocal track and made a remix of it: Only hardware synthesizers, samplers and drum machines used. https://soundcloud.com/bobengstrand/...ngstrand-remix |

I'll Be Doing All Right
https://www.reverbnation.com/silverb...doing-all-rght
I may not Know Every thing that I should But I'm getting by just fine I may not have done Every thing that I could But the stars and sun still shine So if you come around Don't bring me down I don't want to hear your bla bla bla Chorus I'll be doing all right Without your excitation's I'll be doing just fine Without your solititations of right I'm may be slow Every now and again I'll keep working on my fast I can loss my cool Every time I'm a pain But I'm sure that it won't last So if you come around Don't bring me down I don't want to hear your bla bla bla Repeat chorus The sun gonna shine Rains gonna fall i'll be doing just fine Though it all |
Re: Let's hear your latest stuff....right here
I'm sort of a newbie, but here's some acoustic bluegrass in an original instrumental called "Mainline Runner." I'd appreciate any comments on the mix because I'm fairly new at this stuff. I worked a long time getting the mud out of the lower end.
Doug Knecht - banjo Andy Hatfield - guitars, acoustic bass Mark Stoffel - mandolin Ron Stewart - fiddle http://www.banjohangout.org/myhangou...9791&archived= |
Re: Let's hear your latest stuff....right here
This is my December 2016 song, I completed the final mix yesterday
The Way She Smiles - Listen at - https://www.reverbnation.com/silverb...way-she-smiles I never Saw her eyes If I would have I would have seen through the lies She never let me in If she would have She would have Thought less to sin Chorus I really love the way she smiles I really need the way it makes me feel inside I'm gonna miss the way she smiles I'm gonna miss the things she never had to hide, the good times So many times I tried Tried to reach out To a love that must of died So tender is the pain When you love her And you find your loves in vain Repeat Chorus So many ways she delights me So many ways she excites me But I can't ignore the rain |
