    WIP Mix critique, first one in years

    I've been trying to figure out how to tame the bass on this track and think I've got a more or less grip on it, but I'm still very new to this kind of mixing and would like some feedback on it. Thanks! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3782733/pain_demoNoVOX_04.mp3

    Can I get some feedback on this 8-string mix?

    Redid the mix and turned out this: https://soundcloud.com/kalium/miasma-2-0-mix Cut out unwanted low frequencies, added more upper mids to the guitar, raised the overall levels and fiddled with the bass tone.

    Can I get some feedback on this 8-string mix?

    I'm once again struggling with balancing the bass guitar sound in a mix with an 8-string song. My headphones make it seem like there's hardly any bass there, and my speakers make the bass seem a little overbearing. How does it sound on other people's speakers? Any other criticisms for the mix of...

    Do you prefer real or programmed drums?

    I'm a complete noob, but I definitely prefer programmed drums for all but the final recording. It's the biggest pain in the ass there is, and there's no point in doing it over and over and over again, at least not at my level.

    8 & 9 String guitars....

    To all the people who say that you can only do Meshuggah rip-off stuff if you have an 8-string, have you ever even TRIED to write on one? I've found that the 8-string has done nothing but expand the capabilities of what I can compose on a single guitar. I mean, just because lots of people use...

    Do you think cab sounds better not in front of you?

    The doppler effect only applies with moving sound sources, bro.

    Cubase: Wtf is this and how do I get rid of it

    I figured it out, I needed to change the things from "Merge" and "Stacked 2" to "normal" and "mix". Now how do I delete this?

    Cubase: Wtf is this and how do I get rid of it

    Whenever I record on that one track, it shrinks together like that instead of staying like the others. Why is that and does anybody know how to change it? EDIT: and now it's doing that on all of the other tracks as well, wtf?

    What's your favorite sounding album?

    I'm gonna go against the flow and say Tool's Lateralus sounds much better than 10k Days to me. The tones of the instruments are just so much more interesting on Lateralus. They sound like vibrant green and purple, while 10k Days always sounds more like a duller brown and red to me. Aside from...

    Soundproofing a basement room

    Okay, so say I were to do the two-wall thing (because I just realised that the back wall goes to the ground, and the wall to the furnace room is about a meter thick of pure concrete), from what I've been reading, I think the best way to go about it would be to make walls and a ceiling out of a...

    Soundproofing a basement room

    :lol: yeah that's what I figured. Anyways, here's a quick overlay of the room and windows/doors: My place it at the end of a terraced house, and the wall to the top goes out to a patch of forest, so I won't have to worry about that one. The main concerns are the door to the stairs and the...

    Soundproofing a basement room

    So I'm moving into a house soon with friends, and my room is going to be in the basement. since the room is 24 square meters and my current dorm room is only 10, I figure I'll have 14 sqm left over aside from my bed, desk and cabinet to set up a small section for recording drums and amps. Now I...

    TOOL - New album in progress

    Am I the only one who prefers the production of Lateralus to 10k Days? I found that Lateralus had an amazing vibe to the drums and bass that 10k Days is missing.
