    Extras

    Not exactly like that. at 1:08 there's like a weird bassy horn or long string scratch that pans from right to left or something, and at 1:23-1:24ish right on the cymbal hit into the next part, there is like a chime that plays at the exact same time(DEP uses that one in particular a lot...

    Extras

    What are some things you guys do to liven up your production? By that I mean what do you add into your mixes besides the instrument tracks - bass drums, guitars, vocals, etc. I'm kind of talking about any extra stuff that is in the mix to make it alive and less cut and dry sounding...

    Some general advice on mix, please!

    What would be the best way to do that? I guess not a lot of people do it this way, but I mix my drums in a separate session and render it down and use the wav file in the session with all of the other instruments because I don't think my laptop could handle running SD 2.2 midi samples and all...

    Some general advice on mix, please!

    I'm just using Reaper, podfarm(for guitars, bass and vocals) and superior 2.2 I'm not trying to make anything super polished and these are just going to be on an album I'm making just for friends to listen to, basically, since they are mostly older songs I wrote. Anyway, first one is with...

    Deathhh metaalll

    That sounds pretty sick. I came to this section of the forum to get some insight and help on mixing, so I have no advice to offer, haha. But I like what I hear!

    Writing Midi for drums.

    I do pretty much the same thing, but with tabit. I've been using it way before I started recording so when I found you could just export the MIDI from tabit, I was pretty damn excited.

    Blending/crossfading songs together?...question, need help!

    Can't you do this in the actual recording stage? Unless you are talking about something completely different, but it sounds like what I'm doing. Recording an album in one session, and having the songs flow into one another by just letting instruments fade under the next song, or adding effects...

    Rendering question in REAPER

    I was looking for something called that first, but all I could find was copy/cut selected area. I found in the render options, after you selected the work area, you have to change it from render entire project, to render time selection and it will fill in the blank space with the selected areas...

    Rendering question in REAPER

    I normally record a song as soon as I write it, but I haven't recorded anything in awhile. So I've got enough songs to record an album with my friend. I want to record the whole thing in one session, so I can have fade-ins and overlays leading into the next track. I have yet to record this...
