    Mix feedback wanted. Rusty as hell and need help balancing this mix to get it louder.

    Updated mix: The last one I did was way too bass heavy which was making everything muddy. Now I feel like the guitar is a bit too treble-y, and maybe I need to reduce the mids more on the sim also? And bring the bass up maybe? Anytime I try to bring the bass up it seems to overtake the...

    Critique my mix (Fear Factory Archetype Guitar Cover)

    Hey guys, been a while since I've had time to really practice mixing. Anyway here is the link to it on Soundcloud. I also have it on Google Drive, I'm not sure what the preferred method of sharing mp3s is on these forums nowadays.

    Should I redo these drums? Need tips before iTunes release

    Hey guys, my band Volharding will be releasing our new album Ascension through iTunes, Amazon, Spotify etc very soon, once we get physical copies pressed up through Discmakers. I mixed the album myself and overall I'm quite happy with the sound, but after I showed to some other audiophiles on...

    MP3 Option not working in PT10

    I recently got a copy of Pro Tools 11 (which comes with Pro Tools 10) for review from Avid, and everything has been running fine except for the fact that in PT10 I cannot for the life of me get the mp3 option to work. I previously had PT 8 LE, which I purchased the mp3 option for, but in PT10...

    Pro Tools 11 wants to uninstall old version?

    I don't know if any of you guys have Pro Tools 11 yet, but I just received a review copy and I'm having a bit of trouble with the install. The PR girl told me that both PT 11 and my previous version, PT 8 LE, should be able to co-exist on the same OS, but when I try to install PT 11 it gives me...

    FS: Drumagog Pro Version Drum Replacement Software

    First time using this part of the forum, hopefully I'm doing this right. Bought this on Amazon a few years back, used it only a handful of times. Everything's in perfect condition. I have it listed on eBay right now here...

    Tracks from a song from our upcoming album

    Hey guys, I thought some of you might want to mess around with tracks from one of the songs from my band Volharding's upcoming cd. I exported these files the other day and thought someone else might find them useful. I tried to export the midi for the drums but could not get it working, but...

    Help - Exporting a section of MIDI in PT

    I'm trying to export stems for a song for someone to mess with, and they requested the midi drums as well. I can't for the life of me figure out how to correctly export just a certain section of midi. With audio, it's simple to export sections, but with midi Pro Tools just exports EVERY SINGLE...

    Help with toms cutting through

    I'm having some trouble with this track, drummer plays the toms A LOT in this track, while everything else is going full blast... I did a fair amount of eq and automation here but either the lower toms disappear in the track or they're too loud... any tips? Opinions on the mix in general are...

    How to make sub drops sound good?

    Do you guys do any processing to sub drops? EQ/ compression etc? I can't seem to get them to sound quite right. Also, do you tune them? Seems like some people do and some don't.

    Pro Tools "Small Increment" trick not working

    I'm in windows, and I know that holding down the Control key when moving sliders moves things in smaller increments. I thought I was going crazy but I just double checked it. Anyway, it's not working now. Now when I click on say volume while holding down Control, it changes to pk and dly. What...

    All toms are one stereo file...

    I'm working on a session where I was sent files for mixing, and the tom samples are all in one stereo file. I know this isn't ideal, but what would you do in this situation processing-wise? Like for instance what should I do as far as hi and lo pass? Does anyone else out there print all toms to...

    What velocities are best for bass and drums?

    Just curious what velocities you guys tend to stick to when programming bass and drums. Obviously they would be different numbers for everything. I use Prominy SR5 Rock Bass, and I'm assuming for a realistic performance it would be better to have randomized velocities between 80 and like 100...

    Android Tablet with HDMI mirroring?

    Yeah this is totally random, but I'm in need of an Android tablet with HDMI mirroring (for game reviews on my site), looking to buy one like tomorrow. Looking on Amazon and stuff, but it's tough to sort through them all hoping to find one with this functionality that is well-rounded. So do any...
