I think it's definitely better, but you may still be going a bit far with some of the eq, and dare I say, a tad much on some of the compression. Go ahead and upload that stuff; I'll play with the snippet a bit and get it back to you asap so you can see some of my approaches on your own screen instead of just hearing them (or hearing me talk about them ). Put up the new *.wav as well...I'm not going to waste time with the old one now. It seems to be getting late...that could mean only one thing: CHEEZITS TIME!!! -Chris |

Done...
Should be up there now... Thanks, - Doc |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Sounding much better, Doc. Better performance, not so nervous? Do you have all the instruments bussed to a little room verb to make them sound..."together" if you know what I mean?
I know you said the second guitarist goes thru the whole thing & maybe it's just me but I still find it distracting at the end. Like I say, maybe it's just me. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Guitars are running to a stereo buss. Only the better guitar player though. The other plays on spurts, and is very low in the mix. That is why you hear his sustain at the end. Maybe I will cut him more, but I do not want to offend. Their is actually no verb in Pro Tools on the guitars. That is the room and their FX that they wanted. Only compression and EQ.
Thanks for checkin git out again. I think that she did a lot better... - Doc |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Doc- I think the vocal is better, but still sits low in the mix. Kick drum is very prominent. Maybe its the kick drum that is too high and the vocal is fine. Hmmm. Yeah, I think I am going to with maybe lower the kick a bit?

Sean: I can totally understand how you cannot hear the overcompression. Most people aren't going to because of one very simple reason: Nearly every single "Major Label" release is so completely overcompressed nowadays that everyone goes for 'that sound.' FM radio compounds the problem even more by running everything thru yet another compressor. Nikki-k (dis)affectionately refers to the 'syndrome' as "The Volume Wars." It's really hard to describe exactly 'how' that overcompression sounds. Best I can do is just to say that it sounds like it's been squeezed down to the point where it just can't 'breathe' and just sounds 'strained' all over like it's trying to breathe but can't. Once you hear it and can recognize it tho, it will drive you crazy. I'd love to take a crack at the session files for a couple of the songs (I'll Stand and Say It Again for example...very nice songs) and remix/master them to give you something to A/B and compare with your ears and see visually in the session itself. It really doesn't take much at all to overdo the compression. Even if it's just a little. It could also be that some of the dynamics processing you're doing in the mix itself may also be part of what I'm hearing as well. Just tryin to help and offer some advice. I think your material is great. It just drives my overly picky ears nuts to hear it strain like that. =) |
