Re: My first mixed song any Advice
 

Definitely a good practice to listen at different levels before deciding the mix is ready for prime time.

the female voice sounds like a Dentist Drill...
specially at 2:30

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.

Ok thank you. I do that in different spots?

All I have are the Protools stock plugins

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:

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!

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.

This one had a very small budget so things were done quicker than normal plus these are young guys who have just started up.

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 :-)

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

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!!!
