    Andy compressing vocals during tracking

    I tracked vocals into a Distressor for the first time last weekend. I don't think I'll ever go without!

    Hey guys, would love some feedback on this! Thanks a ton. :kickass: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xrzpnb9l6nw6d0c/trial%20mixtest.mp3 A little trivia, I played bass and did the section of vocals at 1:30.

    Post Faders in Reaper?

    Hey, I has anyone figured this out? I didn't even realize this was a problem until a friend pointed out that every time I raise/lower a fader, it changes the input gain on my plugins. Pretty stupid.

    Tech Death Multi For mix practice

    A little late, but here's my mix. After listening a bit I think the bass is a little loud and the snare is a bit lacking. Thoughts? :dopey: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ngbkebww1ubtrtb/Transcendant%20MASTER%201.mp3

    Dude, you really did a killer job on this IMO. The sound is fantastic for the style. It's dirty but still punchy. Great job!

    Recording drums for acoustic/ unplugged band- mic choices
