    Wide mixes? Can't seem to get it

    Differences between left and right but also you have to watch the balance in the middle. If kick and vox etc. is too on top in the middle then by comparison the sides seem small. The mix seems more up and down vs. left and right. Close your eyes and listen to a mix and envision it physically...

    Modern Rock mix. Nickelbackish type song

    Thanks man! The 2nd mix was after a bunch of revisions for one of the member's of the band. I agree that I like the first one although I like it more with the high shelf I added for the final. Sounds pretty much the same but less congested. I'll make you a bounce of the guitars too.

    Modern Rock mix. Nickelbackish type song

    It's the kit snare blended with a Slate snare. It's the 12A if I'm not mistaken. If you don't already own them I'd suggest grabbing them. I've never had a time I couldn't find what I was looking for in Steven's stuff and the newest offering is just ridiculously good and offers even more options.

    Modern Rock mix. Nickelbackish type song

    Gibson Les Paul > Fulltone OCD > 2 ch. Mesa Dual Rectifier > Mesa 4x12 > SM57/R121 > API 512c/Chandler TG2 > RME FF800 Really all you need to tame those highs is a good LP or a Pultec type EQ. UnEQ'd it's over the top no doubt. I still think they are a good bit overgained but I like it.

    Modern Rock mix. Nickelbackish type song

    So I just got done mixing this song for some friends of mine. This is one of those dirty nickelback type songs. Any criticism welcome. Also which do you prefer? Mix 1 or 2? Thanks guys. Small changes.

    Reamping vs guitar-amp-mic (old way)

    I wondered about this once before myself so I put a mic in front of my cab and mic'd up the playing. Immediately reamped same DI. Aligned, and it almost completely nulled. It didn't completely but it was so negligible it was crazy. I figured it would have to be more but it wasn't. I would...
