Indie/Alt rock is easy. Some rock bands like more click in the kick, usually punk ala new Green Day or Blink 182. Guitars are easy too. One, maybe two tracks for rhythm, one for lead stuff and the rest is usually plugins or other odd instruments. The guitars are usually just there to provide...

DUR! Double tracking. Man it has been a while. To be honest it didn't even cross my mind. Gotta love indie rock. If they play it once that's all you're getting because they won't remember what pedals they turned on or how to move their ankle on the expression pedal. :loco: I put some of those...

So I've just gotten back into the spirit of metal and I'm needing some help. Admittedly I was never very good to begin with but we all start somewhere right? This a tune a friend and I wrote on a whim in a few hours one day and I just want it to sound...excellent. By the way, this is a...

Lookin forward to this :D

If they're getting you do the mix, I would buy some stupid heavy gauge strings and tune down. Same with the bass. Obviously I'm not part of the band but it seems like this probably wont get them the "heavy" they're looking for. The mix sounds awkward with the rhythm guitars up an octave

Hey guys, I appreciate the feedback! I'm gonna get some new strings and re record most of the guitars, but probably all of them. I also just got my hands on a pair of Studio Monitors (finally!) so I can get a better "look" at my mix. Now I hear what everyone is sayin :D I'll be back in a few :)

I really appreciate all the feedback guys! And addressing the stereo problem/issue. My project crashed during the middle of production so I was forced to listen to all the little clips looking for the right ones. Long story short Redline was right and I take total responsibility, as it is the...

Hmmm...idk what to tell you. I can record it again I guess xD any other thoughts about the mix besides no stereo guitars?

Haha no its double tracked for once :D But it was tracked mono. Still not grasping what you mean. An example would be great!

Well in REAPER im using the GTR Mono to Stereo Tool Rack...so they're all stereo... There aren't different parts for each side of the mix though so maybe that's what you're hearing. Everything is panned evenly. And I just double checked the plugin output and it's sending it out stereo. Or maybe...

Can you elaborate? I guess I don't understand what you mean. The guitars are panned though xD

This is my second post and a follow up to this http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/rate-my-mix-tone-threads/742294-first-ever-post-lemme-know-how-bad-i-really-am.html thread. I pretty much redid the all the production with exception to all the notes played, hence why it took a week :lol...

The cleans at the beginning remind me of Tenacious D ...in a good way :D

I think the main rhythm is double tracked but all the little lead lick things aren't. And I hear what you both are saying about DFH...any suggestions for replacements and I'll see what I can do :D Like I said, still learning and anything you got I am willing to hear

Hey everybody! I stumbled across the forum about a month ago and now I believe its high time for me to get some decent advice from the like of the masters. So enough with intro's lets hop to it. Recording on a budget so here's the setup Beast Gaming PC (so no problems here) Fast Track Pro...
