Thanks man! I realize there are a few problems with the edits - unfortunately they were not done by me, and I don't have the unedited tracks, so I can't really correct them easily (if it proves to be a problem when getting to the final mix, I will have to come up with something). The part at...

Hey guys! Currently working on a song with a friend and I'm really trying to improve my overall mix and especially my drum mix, since I don't often get to mix real drums. I really wanted to avoid using samples in order to get as much practice as possible without taking any shortcuts - I'm...

Thanks man! We just tracked vocals as well, so I threw them in: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6017642/Hoax%20190114b.mp3 Still looking for critique on the drum mix!

Here's a premix of the song - some things (mainly the intro) will have to be retracked, but overall I'm pretty happy with the vocal tracks: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6017642/Hoax%20190114b.mp3

Thanks for all your replies! We had a tracking session yesterday and the tracks sound great! The compressor seemed pretty aggressive, so I opted for a few db of GR and a fairly low ratio.

Sounds good, thanks! I'll definitely spend some time testing when my vocalist comes by tomorrow - and will rather go a bit too easy on the comp than a bit too hard.

You guys helped me out a lot with drum edits a while ago, so hear I go again! Currently recording the final vocals and violins for my band's debut and I'm starting to dig into the drum mix. I'd like some feedback - I'm not satisfied, but I won't go into detail, so you can tell me your honest...

^I think it sounds crushing.

Also, is the variable impedance something I should use? If so, how do I go about finding the sweet spot for the SM7B?

Hey guys! I'm going to start recording the vocals for my band's debut soon. Rock vocals ranging from mostly cleans, to gritty and a few growls/screams. For this project, we purchased a SM7B and I preemptively figured I'd need a preamp with more gain that my interface can provide. Our drummer...

Got a B7K today. Loving it so far. Short clip: https://soundcloud.com/mattra-1/darkglass-b7k-test

Thanks for your feedback everyone! Yeah, this is pretty much spot on about some of the thoughts I've had about it. And I'll definitely let my drummer know he's a pussy! :lol: (my temporary drum mix has nothing to do with it!)

Haha, spot on! Luckily I'm almost there! 9 songs edited, 2 to go! Bass tracking starts monday :)

Cheers! Yeah, I'm using slip editing as well. I like the workflow, although my eyes are bleeding after a few hours of work!

Hey guys! A few weeks ago my band tracked drums for our debut album and I'm currently editing and it's going well, but I'm kind of zoomed so much in at the details that I feel I might be missing the bigger picture. At the moment I'm pretty much placing everything on the grid, and while I like...
