these do look pretty amazing

Would like to get some feedback on this. I love punk, not really pop-punk but close enough for a practice mix. Sorry for the glitch about a minute in, was in a hurry bouncing this. SSD4 Drums + CLA Snare and Kick Pod Farm Guitars and Bass

does this guy know how to party er what?

This was fun, thanks dude!

What? You're just dodging the fact that Apple is ridiculously priced by saying "we can't compare" our hacks to the off the shell mac pro because we don't have the exact same specs. This isn't a thread about theoretical "fairness" of comparing the two. Yes, I agree, at the end of the day it...

All the advice in the world might help get you started, but at the end of the day there are just some things that require time and experience. Mixing is one of those things. My best advice: be patient. damn, that was zen dude. :zzz:

pretty cool! Where/how did you record?

In theory, yes, a very bright mix can be achieved using only subtractive eq and fader gain adjustments. Whether or not you want to spend the time doing this is your decision. I usually start with subtractive to "clean it up" and then boost to push the mix to the next level.

Thanks dude! Cool to hear the i5 on the snare, I just picked one up for this purpose.

+1 for the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. I've been running through one for a while now and it's been extremely solid. I was looking at all the ones you listed and settled on this one. It really comes down to options and the saffire had everything I wanted, plus the 2 ins and headphone outs on the...
